1. Speaking of zombies

Shaun of the Dead is coming out on DVD tomorrow.

A funny, funny movie.

2. Oh, I am so far beyond that!

Since hubby and I watched Dawn of the Dead about a month ago, not a day goes by without us discussing one or another aspect of zombie preparedness. We've got it all worked out, from clearing a field of fire to making our cabin zombie proof. We've discussed protective clothing, vehicle safety, food preparedness, possible routes of escape, how to establish contact if we're separated when the emergency occurs, etc.

It's about 95% joking with about 5% thought of "well, you can never be too careful" in there.

3. the best defense against zombies is a sword

every one knows the zombies weakness is the brain, if you take a chunk out of thier head they will fall

[skygazer]

4. Screw that

I don't want them close enough for a sword - a good rifle for distance and a shotgun for close up, thank you very much. I am quite capable of accuracy in zombie head shots!

6. but what happenes when

you run out of ammo and there are still a few hundread zombie lieing around

[skygazer]

8. Well, as to ammo, I have a safe full of ammo

In addition, I have a number of swords, clubs and various other items. However, long before I run out of ammo, I plan to have evacuated to a previously scouted remote location. I live in a rural area - I would not predict a huge influx of zombies at any one time here.

I have given this far too much thought. :hi:

9. wha if this location is built on a mass grave?

and is a zombie stronghold?

[skygazer]

11. Trust me, it's not

I know the history of it quite well and besides, it's forest and hillside and has been forest for as long as anyone's been keeping record of things here.

But if for some reason, that was the case, the simple answer is I'd be fucked. :shrug:

[7th_Sephiroth]

12. ok

a forest, in the dark, real strategic, you want the high ground in a zombie situation

5. Seems to me that all you gotta do is...

lay in a good supply of brains. Then you can just invite 'em in. "Have a seat. There's plenty of brains for everybody. I've got a nice Merlot ... anyone?"

7. Everyone knows you drink Chardonay...

with rotting brain.

10. Oh yes, of course. Mon faux pas. Pardon.
