Zombie Apocalypse: What's Your Plan?
 

Obviously many of us are huge fans of The Walking Dead and tonight I was reading this thing on Reddit and it was just a very interesting question with a lot of interesting answers:

Being TOTALLY reactionary; suddenly the undead shows up at your door tonight, what do you do and where do you go?

I'd love to quote Max Brooks and act like I'd be totally prepared but the first thing I'm doing is grabbing the crowbar I store under the bed for burglars, a couple of knives from the butcher block, the water we store for power outages, and getting out of the house as discreetly as possible to a car.

Not knowing how widespread this would be, I'd probably have my phone on me and have forgotten my charger but I typically have one in the car. We'd head for the first gas station, fill up if possible and buy as much garbage food as the car would hold and head into the mountains where I could still get a signal.

I'd check the internet and radio to see the infection was widespread and if not, I'd go back to the house to load up on camping supplies and find a gun of some kind. Would head up into the mountains and basically just hold out until there's some other word.

Again, this is assuming NO previous knowledge of zombies from movies...

This is WAY out in left field, but I just thought this was an interesting discussion...

Re: Zombie Apocalypse: What's Your Plan?
 

i'd give them beer and cry because all the laws of science and reality would have just been destroyed.

Re: Zombie Apocalypse: What's Your Plan?
 

My plan is not to get caught up in such internet retardery.

Re: Zombie Apocalypse: What's Your Plan?
 

I think my plan would be similar to yours. I wouldn't overthink it, because if it did happen staying on my toes would be my #1 priority. I'd grab the shotty and a box of shells out of my roomie's bedroom, a couple knives from the block for insurance, some non-perishables and some water, throw it in the car, and head out somewhere like you said, probably towards the mountains or some shit. After that it's all survival mode.

Re: Zombie Apocalypse: What's Your Plan?
 

I wouldnt lock any doors, scream like a girl, trip on my own feet alot, and sob as i ran to a bathroom. fetal position in the tub while trying to call the police. But the police are being eaten at the moment.

Or i would just reference shaun of the dead of i am legend, and plan accordingly.

i would get my stash ready



and by the way, great thread, and good morning

Re: Zombie Apocalypse: What's Your Plan?
 

I don't know how I would do it, but I think I'd attempt to take over a CostCo or Super Walmart and try to ride out the apocalypse there.
Like I said, I have no idea how I'd be able to take over a place like that, but I figure if zombies are real than anything is possible, and once I did secure my capitalist fortress I'd live like a king.

HAHA, good morning sir.

And tryfuhl, I don't think anyone actually thinks this would happen (at least I hope not) but every time I watch that show I am sitting there thinking how I'd deal with it and that little bastard Carl.

Re: Zombie Apocalypse: What's Your Plan?
 

I would stay away from any towns called Woodbury

I would claim my best friend was dead then poke his wife. Then I try to get to Atlanta if that was over run I head to a nice little farm to hideout for awhile.

Should work.

Re: Zombie Apocalypse: What's Your Plan?
 

I forgot to add that I'd scour the countryside in search of a Twinkie, pick up some survivalists along the way (at least one of which would be some hot T&A), and eventually make my way into Bill Murray's home, at which point he would probably scare me into thinking he's a zombie, so I kill him, and then it turns out he's not a zombie, he was just trying to blend in.

You need to get out of your moms basement.

You'd never be able to defend it....too big, too many doors and windows to reinforce.
You'd be better off looting as much as you could and head to the mountains.

Cardio, double tap, beware of bathrooms. Good start right there.

You woke up this morning looking for this opportunity didnt you?

Re: Zombie Apocalypse: What's Your Plan?
 

I'd get my towel and put out my thumb hoping an intergalactic paving crew was in the area.

This one has got me a couple of times:

[I]My job is so f**king unbelievable. I'll try to sum it up by first telling you about the folks I work with: [/I][I]First, there is this supermodel wanna-be chick. Yeah, okay, she is pretty hot, but damn is she completely useless. The girl is constantly fixing her hair or putting on makeup. She is extremely self-centered and has never once considered the needs or wants of anyone but herself. She is as dumb as a box of rocks, and I still find it surprising that she has enough brain power to continue to breath.[/I]
[I]The next chick is completely the opposite. She might even be one of the smartest people on the planet. Her career opportunities are endless, and yet she is here with us. She is a zero on a scale of 1 to 10. I'm not sure she even showers, much less shaves her "womanly" parts. I think she might be a lesbian, because every time we drive by the hardware store, she moans like a cat in heat.[/I]
[I]But the jewel of the crowd has got to be the f**king stoner. And this guy is more than just your average pothead. In fact, he is baked before he comes to work, during work, and I'm sure after work. He probably hasn't been sober anytime in the last ten years, and he's only 22. He dresses like a beatnik throwback from the 1960's, and to make things worse, he brings his big f**king dog to work. Every f**king day I have to look at this huge Great Dane walk around half-stoned from the second-hand smoke. Hell, sometimes I even think it's trying to talk with its constant bellowing. Also, both of them are constantly hungry, requiring multiple stops to McDonalds and Burger King, every single f**king day.[/I]
[I]Anyway, I drive these f**ktards around in my van and we solve mysteries and s**t.[/I]

The laws of science and reality are always changing or being added to. There was a point where scientist thought black holes were science fiction in part because they seemingly violated the rules of physics. Now black holes are accepted as scientific fact.

Of course zombies as seen in Walking Dead are all but impossible but something like 28 Days Later........then again the infected in the 28 days weren't suppose to be considered zombies.

Re: Zombie Apocalypse: What's Your Plan?
 

After REALLY thinking about it, I'd bust out my old ghetto blaster boom box and lay down a beat!

Everyone knows zombies can't resist synchronized dancing.

Re: Zombie Apocalypse: What's Your Plan?
 

Zombies could actually happen from a scientific standpoint. Science has admitted that. What wouldn't happen though is any kind of sustained "life" from them. There is documented proof that the Nazis during the war conducted experiments that "reanimated" the dead so to speak, but the research was abandoned because they had no way to effectively "control" them.

Now 28 days later is absolutley possible. As cool as it would be to think about, i would absolutley shit my pants if it actually happened. Sometimes dead is better.

Thanks for the info, Buzz Killington. I would love to get into an intellectual debate with you about it, but I have to go make up a lame excuse to get out of it.

Been there...done that. Kicking Bill Murray's ass was pretty fun.

Re: Zombie Apocalypse: What's Your Plan?
 

Personally I think a rage virus outbreak like the one seen in 28 Days Later would be fascinating to experience. Like some sort of safe virtual reality where you could see downtown of a major metropolitan area just erupt into chaos at street level without having to worry about being infected or beaten to death and when you could leave at any time.

Cities built on the safety and stability of first world countries being turned over on its head by the chaos.

One of those things where it's terrible in real life but in the fantasy world it's just fascinating.
