Thread: Grave times indeed

Something that we should all be prepared for and plan for is a zombie attack. So what's your plan? Feel free to have several, though a realistic plan is always best.

I'll go later, but I wanted to get this very important ball rolling.

Stainless steel machete. Because you'll run out of bullets before you run out of Timmy's.

My youngest daughter (Liberty) and I have discussed this, she's the expert, and we have stocked up on shotgun shells and filled the freezer with pizzas. Bring it on!

I concur with Dr. Lecter that the most important is to keep a knife and a fork handy for the occasion.

Some of us do have manners.

Indeed, bring it on!

Chainsaws seem so unreliable, but I can't help but think that it would be incredibly efficient.

A nice Khukuri



or maybe two....

Woha! Hold on... you can't just dive straight into this without more info.

What type of zombies are we talking? This is a crucial question.

- if old school, a la Romero and more recently lovingly restored by Simon Pegg's Shaun of the Dead, then frankly a big machete or sword is fine. Let's face it, you can run rings around these zombies. You probably couldn't even be bothered to kill them in the end, you'd just dodge them and save your energy. As long as you weren't cornered by a hoard of them.

- if we're talking new generation of uber-zombie, as in Alex Garland/Danny Boyle's creation 28 Days/Weeks Later, then you're not just gonna need a firearm, but protective clothing to prevent the Rage virus from entering your own bloodstrem via splashback.

- then there's frankly the ridiculous Vampire Zombies of 'I am Legend' type -- super strength, intelligent, pack hunters. Frankly, I'd take a cyanide pill since you ain't gonna have any kind of success with those superfast flying/jumping vampire zombies.

- and of course there's the Demon Zombies of Wes Craven's which have a sense of humour to boot. In which case clearly all you need is a chainsaw and a Boom Stick.

This discussion requires a group of people, a pub, and a lot of Jack Daniels to be resolved.

well with all the talk about shooting zombies, the I found this

...gun control is all starting to make sense now......
