Oh fine, be serious.



This is true. My inability to eat much with "odd textures" would have to be overcome quite fast.

Don't we have a lanky survivor with us?...a bit frail...short winded..

Picky bunch ain't ya...
With the exception of potato salad...which I hate beyond reason...there isn't much I won't eat...so long as I have hot sauce that is.

Are we to start referencing the other, other white meat yet/again?

I have to drink a LOT to get drunk so I'll be fine.

I'll just make sure avatar works out to burn the fat off.

I don't work out for crap, but no matter how much I eat, I never put on weight.

Can't wait till that starts to go much the reverse later on in life, so I make the most of it whilst I can.

Don't make me fetch the whip...

Don't forget the nurse outfit.

... Yeah, like I had stated to corpse ..enjoy your high metabolic rate while you can, once you hit 30-35 all that will change.

I don't eat greens or crab or beef or anything with bones in it. I'm probably the pickiest eater here.

Got any hungry-man frozen meals? I like those. And Dr.pepper. And cake frosting.

I prefer not to eat meat off the bone but I will if I'm hungry.

I fething love salad greens and spinach and I adore crab.

PS. as much as I love you samus, you are going to die fast.

I was just thinking the exact same thing... ...Adapt or die.

I love eating meat (make of that what you will); the bone is just there as a natural grip.

Beef BBQ ribs Corpse....american BBQ.....

....Everything I've ever seen would suggest that attempting to use phone books as body armor would fail, I've witnessed complete penetration with 9MM's and couldn't even begin to imagine a phone book defeating a .223 or 7.62x39mm.
Plus, how much range of motion could one have with a bunch of phone books duct taped to them?

A lot of PDs are trading in their MP5s for 223 carbines, for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that a 9mm holds more danger for overpenetration than a 223. So I could see a plausible circumstance where a phonation could stop a 223 but not a 9

Looks like the ol' whip and meat will be a good motivator then...

Never had good ribs, here they tend to be 90% fat and gristle.

Frozen Hungry man meals...seriously? Barely no electricty...maybe...just maybe after a meal is made I could wave a fan above it to cool it down or something...and hold over a open fire for a few secs to reheat..

To be fair Salisbury steak could survive a nuclear apocalypse...

Hhhmmm..salisbury steak can survive huh..so we can use salisbury steaks as replacements for the tomahawks?

Hmm,I would have assumed that considering the increased muzzle velocity of the .223 you'd have a much greater danger of over penetration with that round than with the 9mm.

EDIT: On all my experiances going out shooting, the .223 seemed to get much better penetration than 9mm...but then again, we didn't exactly " research" the theory.

I'm sure we let the decoy's help us on that....how many politician's can we use to get a good baseline?

... As many as possible ...in the " New world" , decoy and "target practice fodder" will be about all a politician is good for.

As "Country" is more or less an " idea" and not an actual "thing" then so long as people " believe" in the idea it would still " exist"....even if the "machinery ( government)" no longer itself exist.
...Now, if your asking should attempts be made to " rebuild" the current system as it exist...then I'd say absolutely not...away with the old in with the new.

I'm all for raising up a new order but what happens if and when the US government survives and uses the remainder of the military to reclaim the US? (A la WWZ)

In that case I think it might be better for our health to "accept our new American overlords."

If there is a true apocalypse the government won't survive in any meaningful form, WWZ was a zombie invasion rather than a true apocalypse.

It might not be as organized as it was in WWZ...but I'm certain there will be some remnant of the government or military left and I'm just as certain they will try to retake power...

Admit it, you just want Enclave Power Armour...

Yeah some remnant ALA the enclave is a given, as are patches of heavily patriotic "little america" camps.

Honestly, surrender before it gets to this point:



Also:

@ Mr D...Yes...yes I would like some enclave armor very much...

@ Corpses...You're right...But I think our settlement should be different...

I proclaim the Republic of Dakka! Our motto: Freedom, justice, and green stuff for all!

Liquid green stuff or putty green stuff?

Actually lawlessness will probaly be in full effect for like a year after the collapse. Military units will either go fortress or go rogue. I say though first encounter with another group will be like us...mixture of military and civilian.....and if eitherside brings in a lawyer....I will personnly spit the fether myself for the mobile weiner gun platforms fuel source. I'm positive a military unit will maintain cohesion for a good time but dealing with the mass of people seeking protection is going to wear them thin. If they try to call our groups military up well I know my responsibilites....you fethers are stuck with me
