So, I was in this place people call the mall a while back. And I had the urge to expel some bad spirits. As I went into the bathroom, I chose the urinal closes to the corner so I could have some privacy. So I whip out Lord Pevincy and let him loose the bad spirits. Well, I was looking at the wall as the Lord was expelling the spirits and I seemed to have gotten distracted. Turns out, I missed a little.
SO I'm sitting at my computer right, and I have a Coke, Bottled mind you. But it got warm, so I got a Coffie cup and I filled it with the coke and some Ice and I sipped as I did my internet stuff. So like and hour passed and I hadn't sipped any of it. and when I go to sip it, I notice that something solid is in it. So I'm like, "No, why would there be something solid in my coke?" SO I pull these solid THINGS off my tongue and guess what they are? F ING ANTS! I was like WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And so I ran into the Kitchen coughing and what not and I threw those little bastards down the drain with a flood of hate and cold water.......those bastards are lucky I don't have my Nucians yet!!!
If im honest about the whole thing, i really really wouldnt want to live in a world filled with the undead. So, providing it was an apocalypse scenario as opposed to an outbreak, id go into my garage, grab my favorite sledge hammer, pick up somoe molotovs and go out on the town >.>
probably cap myself somehwere inaccessable if its clear im gonna die?

Because, statistically, the guy who's right about what's going or otherwise accurately predicts what will happen on in any given zombie flick only has about 15% odds of survival to the end of the film if he's not the main character.
I know that I'd survive too, because I already live in a heavily fortified building with everything I'll need to weather a long siege. Except that armored car I've been meaning to acquire.

Well thats in the movies....we are not there.
well...I don't live in a fortress but we've got lots of melee tools and a handy dandy pop that could probably build a crapload of barricades out of the wood that is near our house..but we wouldn't stay at our house but for maybe a week till the zombies kill all the panicking people......

Good point, the main characters in zombie movies always survive.
I will be doing my part to repopulate the world, not to worry guys.
Also, suppose that we end up running into things like Lickers or Nemesis. Anyone got any plans for that? Mine is about "Sit in a corner, whimper 'Oh god no, oh god no, oh god no' and hope it doesn't get me"
I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.

Put your head between your legs and kiss you a$$ goodbye if its Nemisis.....if its a licker then just go with Golden Eyed Scouts plan

Can you honestly say that most of humanity is worth saving?
Besides which, why risk yourself early on in the conflict when there is the possibility of it being only a small outbreak? Don't get me wrong, if there was someone in trouble who I could help, I would attempt to do so, but I would not go out of my way in order to do so if it meant there was significant risk of my own death/zombification.
On a Zombie related note, I played a game called Ashes 2 Ashes: Zombie Cricket on Mousebreaker last night. Top stuff!
Proof [As if it was needed!] that the only way a real man should deal with the forces of undeath is with 3-4 feet of weathered willow and a chum chucking hard leather balls up for you. I bagged 43 of the blighters before they dragged me down. Ahem...er....Brrraaaaiiiiinnns!

How do you promote your Hobby? - Legoburner "I run some crappy wargaming website "
Just so you zombie enthusiasts know, ive started a zombie roleplay down in the chain fiction section. ANyone whose interested pop down and fill out a profile. I assure you it'll be fun.
California has Earthquakes, Florida has Hurricanes, Pennsylvania has zombie outbreaks.
Trust me, we go through this every few years.
You live here too? Where at? I'm NEPA.

So you'll do that, but you won't play my rp? I see how it is.
Raid the local gunstores, get some buddies, and hole up in Costco eating myself to death on pretzels and ice cream.
What, who said zombie apocalypses can't be delicious and tasty?

"And the moral of the story is: Appreciate what you've got, because basically, I'm fantastic."
The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.
"the play's the thing wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king,
Ok these two are crazy. But it would be funny to see idiots running towards zombies rather than away. But still, humanity is worth saving for two reasons:
1) It would be boring without anyone to play on XBOX Live/40k 2)You know why.

Step 1: Grab survival kit
Step 2: Fill 2 additional duffle bags with food, water, ammunition, lighters, cooking tools, etc
Step 3: Grab weaponry (3 rifles, 2 handguns, 4 shotguns and a ridiculous array of knives, machetes, axes)
Step 4: Grab additional clothing and gasoline for vehicle (I have 2 10 gallon tanks full and 2 5 gall on tanks)
Step 5: Load everything into my Expedition (I keep it in the garage)
Step 6: Check vehicle for issues
Step 7: Drive away, if needed first stop is a gas station if I'm low
Step 8: Drive to North Carolina
Step 9: Set up in the old abandoned church me and my buddies used to hang out in (all windows boarded up, door boarded up. We had to get in through the bell tower with a ladder)
Step 10: Hole up in church and shoot anything that comes near.
Step 11: ?????
Step 12: Profit
