Zombie survival

[Humodour]

If you elect me President, I promise to you that I will put a ban on all domestic research into zombie voodoo, viruses, and add another few feet of dirt to all cursed graveyards. I will vigorously pursue the development of anti-zombie weaponry, including high energy lasers and giant robots. I will secure our borders against Mexican tequila zombies.

 

I will ensure that we will never have to endure another zombie crisis like the one last year in California. It was irresponsible handling of the situation by the current administration that led to such a tragedy and threatened our country to its very core... you, the people. I will not let it happen again!

 

You cannot afford to not elect me. My opponents will downplay the issue. Some may even disavow the existence of zombies and call me a kook. They will only lead us to our doom.

 

Vote for Tale in '08.

 

Wouldn't it be easier to just make titanium coffins or something?

I wonder if a pre infection headshot would prevent a person from turning.

[Gorgon]

I mean it should right, but then we get these cases that are missing half their heads.

What about cremation? Burn the body to dust.

[Guest The Architect]

Improvise is the magic word. I would would buy this, wear torn clothes and pretend to be one of them, hoping they wouldn't find out I'm an impostor and then mangia me.

There seems to be indications that they can smell fresh brains.

That's a swell idea,... Mr. Secretary of Defense!

[Nick_i_am]

This, is my boomstick.

[Blank]

I can beat them with a rock.

Primitive, but maybe that's just what the zombies aren't expecting.

I swear to uphold the living-ness of this great nation (um, the Internet) and to tirelessly steal the ideas of others while in pursuit of such defence.

[Humodour]

On a related note: in about 5 hours time I will be watching Shaun of the Dead for the first time. Should be epic.

[Rosbjerg]

I live right in the middle of Cophenhagen.. and Denmark as a whole is really a bad place to be in case of a zombie outbreak. No big mountains/hills, no good defendable areas - no wild life to speak of. Most of our livestock would die within the first months because they can't support themselves and are indoors most of the year.

 

Food supplies are not a big problem though, but most are quite perishable, as we as a nation prefer organic and non conserved food.

 

Guns are illegal (for civilians) unless you have a hunting licence and you can't buy big bladed weapons, so that's a big problem.

 

We do have very old castles and fortifications though, which could hold out a zombie assault quite efficiently. But without weapons or a renewable food source, it would be a short adventure.

 

My escape plan would be to get a boat a and go to either the Faroe Islands or Iceland. They are quite isolated, easy to defend and have enough fertile land to feed a small population.

 

Later you could sail out and retake the big and small islands of Europe (England, Ireland etc.)

 

btw. Shouldn't this thread be a sticky. So we can quickly find the info if/or when the outbreak happens.

What the f...

 

Interesting movie. Haha.

[Nick_i_am]

Now watch Hot Fuzz.

 

A film so funny it even made germans laugh (proven!).

[Humodour]

Yup, I was thinking of Hot Fuzz while I was watching it. Quite a few similarities! It now occurs to me that Shaun and his friend are the protagonists of Hot Fuzz also.

[Tale]

Hot Fuzz is a sequel to Shaun of the Dead as far as I'm concerned.

[Gfted1]

Ug, Shaun of the Dead was full of suck and unfunny.

[Nick_i_am]

His sense of humour is one of the greatest measures of a man.

 

DUN DUN DUN.

For the record are we talking about classic slow, lumbering zombies or the ones who can actually run like in the remake of Dawn Of The Dead?

[Humodour]

The slow kind of course!

[Kor Qel Droma]

Lightweights, the lot of you!

[Tale]

It weren't no slow zombies we fought in the war.

[Walsingham]

It weren't no slow zombies we fought in the war.

 

Indeed, don't take chances, people. Although with an obesity epidemic at least we can expect some of them to be very slow.

[Gorgon]

Real zombies are slow, movie zombies are fast.

 

Anyway it's not the zombies themselves as much as the collapse of public institutions. Flip the lights off in a major metropolitan area and a few hours later the raping and looting begins.

Sticky topic?
