Lileks Embraces Noggle Apocalypse Investment Strategy

James Lileks, in a Back Fence column, embraces the Noggle Apocalypse Investment Strategy when describing what's in his bug-out box:
    Half a dozen liquor miniatures. Only for bartering purposes, mind you. The dollar may be worthless, and we may be reduced to swapping as we fight our way to Fargo.

    "Halt! To pass you must pay the toll. What have you to offer, stranger?"

    "Well, I have, uh, a pelt -"

    "Where? I see no pelt."

    "Well, the dog's wearing it right now, but - hey, I have these little bottles of hooch. And I'll toss in some waterproof matches, only used once."
Remember, the Noggle Apocalypse Investment Strategy promotes three investments:
  • Arable land somewhere isolated.
    So you can grow enough food for you, your concubines with which you're going to repopulate the human race, and the optional cult of followers.

  • Guns.
    So you can defend your land from interlopers and your concubines from other alpha males in your cult of followers.

  • Liquor.
    So you can trade something besides other alpha male pelts with the neighboring cults. Hopefully, they'll have something other than pelts or liquor to trade.

To say Noggle, one first must be able to say the "Nah."
