Ok, you've been trapped in a mine for more than 60 days and you're rescued today. What now?

Shower! Then spend some time enjoying being with my family again.

Book and movie deals, apparently.

@syz And the motivational speaker circuit!

Relax, maybe find another line of work.

Scalding hot shower and all the water and junk food I could stuff down.

Three simple words: hookers and cocaine ~

Shower! Hot, home cooked meal, sleep in a comfy bed and spend time with loved ones

Take a long, hot bath. Relax at home with my family.

I’m going to… sleep in my own bed.

A hot shower, hot food, hot sex, and a warm bed.

I’d want to stay clear of all that media frenzy for a while. Hide out somewhere with the family, go underground….......oops, freudian slip over there :¬)

Long, long, long hot bath, then eating a home cooked meal, and taking my kids to the park.

Book and movie deal, of course.

Edit: syz and I think alike.

I would eat Bob’s sandwich.

I guess I would write a book about my experiences, Facebook all the guys I was stuck with down there, and get a tan!

@Austinlad Reminds me of what I did after basic military training.

I’m going to DisneyWorld!

@mama_cakes You want a piece of my baguette?

@bob_ I thought that it was more like a dinner roll.

A good cry, with the relief. Then….

I would find a secluded spot and weep.

@lloydbird jinx

@liminal Pinches, no returns.

Hot shower
Hot sex
Another shower
More sex
Lunch

Long nap
Update resume

^ I like that… “Update resume”.

Willing to travel? Yes.
Willing to work under hazardous conditions? Yes Negotiable.

10 minutes fresh air, stretch my legs and straight back down for another 60 days.

haha

@CyanoticWasp great point, maybe “update resume” should go at the top of the list!

@Seek_Kolinahr Willing to travel? Yes but only to points north.

@SuperMouse if that leads “hot sex” and “multiple showers” (I can’t go for even two days without a shower before I don’t even feel human any more) then people are going to think there’s something wrong with you—and maybe be right.

These guys should have enough accumulated overtime from their ordeal not to have to worry about work again for awhile.

No idea, life’s probably never going to be the same.

Say hello to my mistress and goodbye to my wife. Oops.

“Three simple words: hookers and cocaine ~”
@bob_ – No sandwich?

I’d go caving.

If possible, I would take a long hot shower and then go out for drinks afterward to celebrate.

Ravage my wife/mistress/girlfriend.

Beer… lots of beer.

All that, then get my notes together for my book/movie deal.

Punch the first idiot that sticks a camera or microphone in my face.
Hug my family.
Take a hot shower.
Eat some real food.
Go to bed for a week.

A hot shower, hot sex and cold, cold beer, on the top of a mountain maybe, so I could be as far from being underground as possible.

@ChazMaz Priorities, man. Priorities.

Run to my loved ones, hold them, be held, and cry.

call the doctor about that erection that lasted WAY more than 4 hours.

Wow, it is very unfortunate that I will not be joining my fellow miners to celebrate because I will have already taken my own life due to claustrophobia. But then again, I probably never signed up to be a miner for the very same reason. People, this is what keeps me on the good side of the law—the very thought of being handcuffed, much less in the back of a cruiser with doors that don’t open to head toward a cell that doesn’t open. . . . . major motivation, just sayin!

I cannot even fathom what these survivors are thinking and hope to hear their stories someday.

If it were me, I’d want to get through the adjustment to daylight as quickly as possible in order to see everything possible on the earth’s surface. Let me wrap my arms around loved ones. A long, hot shower with a good loofah and scented soap. A meal of my choice with friends, family, and lots of laughter. And finally, a night clinging to my loved one in a way that I have never done before…because I survived.

Something else I would also do: Thank the men and women who saved me instead of thanking a god. Just sayin’......

Food. Possibly a frequent request, verbatem, once immediately evacuated.

What would you eat, if it were you?

Slow-cooked corned beef, cabbage, carrots, celery and potatoes, fresh-baked bread, and some really good ale. Finish with… we’ll go with pumpkin pie. Made from the pumpkin, none of that canned stuff.
