so.... in the event of a zombie apocalypse, my plan would be to go to my local gunshop & supermarket, stock up on weapons, & tinned food, steal a bus & pick up my closest friends, bandmates & sexy women.

from here I would drive to Southampton. Once there I would stock up on everything we needed (tinned food, ammo, fishing rods, suntan lotion) & commandeer a medium sized ship, not something large enough to have any zombies that happened to be on board lurking undetected, until they devour our brains one at a time, horror movie style, but large enough to comfortably support myself & my compatriots.

We would then sail into the open ocean & live out our days, zombie free from the confines of our ship. Whenever supplies were running low, we would still have enough weaponry to make brief forays into port & stock up. & we could also fish for food.

problem solved...


so... Im interested to know. What would YOU do in such an event?

discuss.

You need to read the Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks. Trust me.

sounds like it could be useful in my quest not to have my brains consumed.

I would whip out my copy of the Necronomicon and establish an Undead Empire.

I would demolish the stairway to my apartment and grab the nearby ladder, fill the bathtub (incase we lose running water) load my firearms, and raid the convienience store up the street when able.

Then set up a hand crank radio and wait...

It's me. I'm the fat zombie.

Luckily we discussed this 14 days ago here...

My answer is still the same...

I'd tape signs that would say:
"If you use double-lash, then you are safe from this zombie."
on all of my minions.
(of coarse, it would be a lie)

I'm hoping someone will thread-o-mancy one of the zombie apocalyspe topics in a year or so.

my personal strategy is to (if warning is early, however unlikely) head to gibsons landing, via ferry if possible and safe, then head off to keets island. 48 people live on that island, very secluded, and, with any luck, within a month, most zombies should be dead (assuming these zombies follow the laws of physics...)

bring with me: big knife, matches, fishing rod (find one) with tackle etc. a rather long pole (if I can't kill zombies, I might as well keep them 5-10 feet away from me).

Short (no warning) term plans: get people to make barricades in the nearby strip mall; the shops there have small doors, and pleanty of food.
bring knife, laptop, and uhhh...... can opener? honestly, with no warning I'm pretty screwed where I am. oh well.

I would whip out my copy of World War Z and establish wich character Brad Pitt may attempt to be cast as.

Play the game "Dead rising" on 360, then just run around a shopping centre with friends, running over zombies with lawn mowers.

I'm shocked at this blatant discrimination against the living challenged! You call yourselves civilized yet in this day and age you speak of discrimination, exclusion, even PHYSICAL VIOLENCE against those who's only sin is being dead? For Shame!



Always remember, destroying or removing the brain is the only way to kill a Zombie.

I cry self defense! Im quite attached to my brain, my mommy gave it me.

As a scientist, I would probably make a human killer virus which targets zombies (there must be some sort of protein complex responsible for zombies) or I'll produce siRNA delivery darts with siRNA targeted at main organs like the heart (no bloodflow, no movement).
Ofcourse, in the event of a magically induced zombie infestation... I'll just reenact Evil Dead with my boomstick.

Beork

I'd find a cinema and spool up 'The Hottie and the Nottie'.

Whenever a zombie came in i'd sit still and pretend to watch - they would assume I had no brain worth eating and move on (when the zombies weren't looking I would help myself to nachos and popcorn and watch something good instead....)

I would gather my trusted friends and walk through the zombies (see Shaun of the Dead for how this is done) and barricade ourselves in a defensible location, then I open the door to let the zombie in, betraying everyone, before killing myself and rising again

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em

Plan B, beat the zombies in close combat, they take extra wounds from combat resolution, problem solved!

My plan is simple: go to the airport one mile from my house and get in my Mooney and fly away. I can make Marsh Harbour in the Bahamas in about five hours.

the zombie apocalypse is world-wide. The Bahamas cannot save you - MWA HA HA HA HA!
