Hurricane Sandy Survival Guide: 10 Things Not to Leave Home Without
Stocking up on food, water and paper goods is for rookies.
What you need to be worried about is marking your territory for the new, post-apocalyptic society which you’ll be a part of. Your bottled water and spaghetti won’t help when the mole people come out. Below are things you’ll actually need to survive the east coast’s worst hurricane in 100 years.
1. Wooden Plank and Paddle
Or in the case of Bangkok residents, a rice bucket and a broom. In a hurricane scenario, this will be your best source of transportation for the looting/pillaging spree.
2. Crossbow (traditional or pistol)
No matter what type of crossbow you decide on, there’s no doubt this is the most bad ass way to protect yourself during post-disaster, dog eat dog survival games. That or a rusty knife.
3. Bandages and/or Rags
You can’t go breaking into places with your bare hands. Just wrap some rags around them and then smash the windows.
4. Lighter and Fluid
Fire is good for all types of shit in a disaster-stricken world: cooking rats, burning buildings, lighting the way to your new sewer dwelling, building fires to dance around while chanting to your new Gods. Ya know, the usual.
5. Skewers
You can’t just hold your rat meat over the trash can fire. You need something to stick it on.
6. Copy of Waterworld
This is your new bible. Watch it. Learn from Kevin Costner.
7. A Human Sacrifice
Because your new Water Gods demand it.
8. War Paint and Battle Cry
There will be many clans vying for the same food, shelter and sexual conquests as you. Proper battle tactics are essential.
9. Poison w/ Antidote
This is super important. You can poison people and then extort them for whatever you want in return for a drop of antidote.
10. Women
2. Crossbow (traditional or pistol)
3. Bandages and/or Rags
4. Lighter and Fluid
5. Skewers
6. Copy of Waterworld
7. A Human Sacrifice
8. War Paint and Battle Cry
9. Poison w/ Antidote
10. Women
Now go forth children, and loot, burn and pillage what was once a community of sound infrastructure, intelligent minds and justice. Cause none of that matters when it gets windy and rains a lot.

How Girls Get Rid of Annoying Guys
How girls get rid of annoying guys
if this happens to you, stop being so creepy
Contributing Writer: Lauren Liebler
1. Ignoring him
Most guys might not say it, but all they want is attention. Not just from the hottest girl they see, but from anything that wears a skirt. If they sense a girl wont give them any time, they’ll just keeping hopping around until they find someone who will.
Girls ignore guys by talking to other girls, talking to other guy or texting every one of their contacts… to make sure they don’t make eye contact.
2. Going to the bathroom
The easiest way girls leave a clinger behind is saying they need to pee. It’s a little TMI but the perfect way to make him step back and let her do her thing. If she really wants him gone, she’ll say she has to change her tampon. Gross, but effective.
3. Getting a nearby guy and saying he’s her boyfriend
This tactic has been used for centuries: grabbing the hottest guy nearby and playing the damsel in distress game while giving him the idea that there’s a chance she wants to explain later over a drink.
Girls love this because its an easy way to meet guys. This makes the annoying guy intimidated, but if he catches on, see #1.
4. Playing the taken card
No hot guys around to save you? In that case girls just say they have a boyfriend or husband. Whether they really do or not, this card can drive off 50% of annoying guys, the other 50% might stick around and annoyingly ask her to cheat on him.
5. Giving the lesbian shoulder
Seems like lesbians are springing up everywhere lately. When an annoying guy approaches, two girlfriends agree to play the role of loving lesbians. They only talk to each other, drink from each others glasses and look at the guy like he’s an alien.
6. Speaking another language
Nothing is more frustrating to a guy than a girl who doesn’t speak English. Girls who know other languages can whip it out during this social emergency without feeling like an asshole. Extra points go to girls who speak something other than Spanish or French.
7. Using the classic Jenna Marbles Face
This is the ultimate way girls can get rid of annoying guys. Most girls don’t know about this unadvertised secret. It is 100% effective and will guarantee that anyone will walk away. Use it quickly and wisely.

Let’s get Slutty- Halloween’s Sexiest Costumes
Halloween means goblins and ghosts, trick or treats, carving pumpkins, and …..errrr….dressing like huge sluts!
It’s the natural female Halloween costume metamorphosis most girl’s experience. The sudden transformation from puffy pumpkin garb to fairy princess to Hannah Montana to full on slut gear occurs in most girls maturation and what better time to leave your inhibitions at the door, turn that everyday profession into a slutty one and hit the streets, or one of the many Halloween parties in DC in your scandalous costume.
A Woman in Uniform
Everyone knows these classic looks. It’s super simple, can be found at most costume stores and be made super slutty. These options don’t say much for your imagination, but they still command attention. After all who wouldn’t stop at that DUI check point on Halloween night for a sexy Police Officer?!?!
Campus Cool
Youth is king and it’s most guys fantasy to have their girl dress up as a sexy school girl, or fulfill your nerdy boyfriend’s desire with a cheerleader costume, since he was never so lucky in high school. These looks are easy to come by in any costume shop or online, but also easy to create with items you may also have at home. Squeeze into your HS cheerleader uniform or whip out that old catholic school jumper and a pair of hipster black glasses with pigtails and it’s a cheap DIY Halloween!
Animal Magnetism
Usually animals are not described as sexy. But somehow faux fur, a set of wings, or cheeky ears do the trick. Hopefully your date won’t have to walk behind you with a pooper scooper. Perhaps the easiest DIY- grab a leotard and some animal ears and voila! You can also go all out and get a fancy one online or in the store.
Moral Dilemmas
Cliche? Yes! But in a pinch it’s an easy go to costume. Even CVS sells a simple horn or halo look you can easily pair with some red or white lingerie.
Barely There
If you have not hit the gym in the last decade this is probably not the look you want, but body paint can sometimes look as real as the real thing. The trick is finding an “artist” who can properly apply the paint for a long lasting realistic look.
Fun with Fur
Josie Stevens (wife of rocker Steve Stevens) has a line of costumes called Josie Loves J Valentine which has been popping up in nightclubs and EDM festivals everywhere. These furry animals get ups can be worn in pieces, or as a set, and will definitely get some attention.
Vial Vixens
With the simple addition of fake blood, any classic costume can be made into a gruesome one. After all Halloween isn’t supposed to be all sugar and spice!
Wrong Turn
Somewhere along the production line, costumers took a wrong turn into the politically incorrect arena. Some of these sexified costumes are just wrong, racist, or flirt too deeply with the line of a pedophile. Watch out or your Halloween may be more trick than treat!
Where can you find these looks and much more? Some great sites for online costumes hunting are listed below!
