Nuke Me Baby One More Time
Ain’t No Party Like a Nuclear Party ‘Cos a Nuclear Party Don’t Stop (Until We Are All Dead)
If humanity were married to our nuclear arsenal we would have just celebrated our diamond 75th wedding anniversary. How have we responded? Much like in a real marriage: terror, insanity, grief and, eventually, indifference. Also, some pretty great songs and movies! Join the Meerkats as we party like it’s 1999, walk the dinosaur, and duck and cover our way through a “nucular” war-themed Zen Koan.
Our theme song is by Tawny Frogmouth.
