Slowly, Step Back into the Bunker
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2015-03/27/c_134104193.htm A team of scientists in China have created liquid metal machines. That's right. I said, Liquid Metal Machines. Yeah, like T2. Okay, these can only move about 5 centimeters per hour, so you've probably got time to gather more supplies. Still, one can't be too careful when it comes to Terminators. Personally, I would rather slip back inside my bunker before the Terminators show themselves than after they strike. Later, there will be plenty of time to speculate about why these scientists disregarded the warnings presented by the movies. Among those warnings, of course, were "Why was John Conner such an irritating whiner in T3?" "What completely brainless goob cancelled the Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles on an alternate future cliff hanger?" and "Is this story the real reason why Zayn left One Direction?" Okay, that last one may not be legit, but I was hoping to draw the Terminator's attention towards One Direction. You can thank me later.

 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

That's it. I'm sealing the door now.
Tinfoil full body suit is on. Automated defenses are armed. Nuclear reactor is at optimum output levels. Rabid hordes of wolverines have been released.

Tinfoil? Are you sure that's tinfoil?

Where does one get a nuclear reactor and a hoard of wolverines? Can't find 'em in the Sears & Roebuck...

Karyn, I admit it. It's an aluminium body suit. Well, to be more precise, it's about $250 worth of aluminium foil. Hey, when they come for you, you want to be thoroughly covered. Also, arguing over the correct pronunciation of aluminium can be entertaining for a few moments.
Soens, that's why I've been building my reactor out of an old Buick. It's surprising how many parts are similar. As for the wolverines, I've been raising a pack in the field behind my house for years now. I'm not sure how many it takes to qualify as a horde, but I've got that many. That's largely due to the fact that my earlier attempts to collect a passel of gators failed. It turns out that gators don't pay much attention to electric fences. On the positive side, we don't get many people walking through that field anymore. Well, not twice, anyway.

You're worried about being violated by machines made of liquid metal so you're covering yourself in... tinfoil? Shirley clingfilm would be a safer option?

There may be a flaw in this plan.
I had considered clingfilm (plastic wrap) before, but early testing revealed a problem with the air supply. Also, I didn't want to run the risk of thinking of the band, Air Supply. (shudder) I thought about encasing myself in wood, but I knew that would only end in flames. Concrete seemed appealing, but there was that air thing again. Also, I kept hearing my contractor muttering something about sending me to sleep with the fishes. I don't even like fish. (They agree, by the way.)
That's why I have abandoned my aluminium death trap and I am now safely ensconced inside the belly of a large elephant. In case of an attack, there are a couple of exits. In addition, elephants are best known for their uncanny ability to hide. Ask any 6 year old.
Granted, it's a bit cramped in here and Clive (the elephant) doesn't seem too pleased with the arrangement. There could be a downside to this plan. I admit that it is possible that I haven't thought this whole thing through.

There's always a last option of hiding behind your shadow.
Keep it as a last resort though.....

It's an ongoing 'love/hate' relationship.

We've come to an understanding. You see, he was upset that I kept dragging him around, shining a flashlight on him to erase his head, and flaunting my 3 dimensional existence. We talked things over and I realized that I was guilty of treating him like a partial darkness or obscurity within a part of space from which rays from a source of light are cut off by an interposed opaque body. That's shadowism, and it's wrong.
So, we have an arrangement that seems to be working. I'll slip into a dark room and we'll change places. He'll walk out and I'll glide along the floor as his shadow. It's very relaxing. There are no decisions to make, no deadlines to meet, and you can ignore dull conversations. Sometimes, entire days will go by where I forget to change places with him again. When I do take back my original place, I occasionally find that he's made some questionable decisions. That might explain Clive.
