We would gather up all the weapons, ammo, food items,water, extra clothes and get in our vehicles and get the hell out of Dodge. Then I suppose we would look for a safe place that would be easy to defend or look for people to band up with. Hopefully the Zombies will be the "Romero" type. If they are fast zombies---at my age I am SOL

Well dont band up with me cuz im slow as hell we would be the frist ones ate if there fast zombies

Lmao well i dont like my neighbor very much so id give him a fake tear than start packin for the worst. Check the news right quick, and itll prolly say "Flesh eating Zombies in your neighbor? No need to worry their harmless". Put a big ol' bullet hole right throw the TV and than round up every gun i have and load it up in the Dodge. With the whole family strapped, than were going to Walmart and any Zomb zomb we see on the way are either getting a mouth full of 4500 pounds of a V8 HEMI or a nice .357 caliber size hole through their noggin. Barricade ourselves and i hope to god some people are still left alive, inside the walmart and hold out. Than try to establish radio contact with an old friend 1000 miles away who i made plans with along time ago just for this situation

Id be sure to go to a super Walmart cuz they carry food also and everything you need.. thats really a good idea unless the whole store is full of zombies then you might have a problem..

And yet you identify yourself with an avatar of an imaginary wizard-type individual who lives only in the Fantasy/Sci-Fi section of Barnes and Noble...Pot, meet Kettle

If you want a serious thread go here i spent a few days on this one www.abovetopsecret.com...

I just wanted to lighten the mood and have some fun life is way to short to be all serious!

because they are lobotomized zombies

...so wishing (for the purpose of this thread) that Australians were allowed to own guns but the APTB thought everyone should hand in thier weapons.... finding one would be the first thing, failing that some bloody big knives or swords.. or like someone else said a flame thrower..
oh funny afterthought, could figure out how to wrestle them like crocs, and then chain em up and train em like in 'Fido'

Nope

I identify with philosophies represented by the Druid avatar I use.

Cool thread and to all the serious folk this is BTS a sub - section of ATS. So Zombies may roam here All they want imo

Question though, Is it Night of the living dead zombies or 28 days later zombies?

If its Night of then I think we would have no problem cleaning them out. If everyone took out their fair share then I would gladly contribute. I feel that I'd be able to join or group up with a sufficient amount of people from around the way. If its 28 days later zombies then I'm probably f'ed. Its grab the bob and head for the car but to where? I don't work well without a plan so.. Sad that I live in the self proclaimed "Zombie captial of the world" yet have no contingency plan for this. For real though this could happen though especially if there is a Hades. remember

"When there is no more room left in Hell the dead will walk the earth"

Regardless we have a zombie day in Pittsburgh (every year since 06), this past year it was on 10.10.10. I was there but I doubt I'm in this picture. It looked something like this

On October 29, 2006, 894 "zombie walkers" gathered at the Monroeville Mall outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which served as the set of George A. Romero's classic zombie film Dawn of the Dead, to participate in Pittsburgh's first annual 'Walk of the Dead.'[17] In addition to setting a Guinness World Record, the event was a benefit for the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. Pittsburgh's zombie walk has since grown into a annual horror festival called Zombie Fest. Zombie Fest is organized by The It's Alive Show, a local Pittsburgh late night horror and science fiction television program.[18] The Pittsburgh festival plays host to the annual 'Walk of the Dead' as well as a zombie ball, costume contest, concerts, and celebrity guest appearances. Zombie Fest also serves as the headquarters of The It's Alive Show's World Zombie Day, a world hunger charity event.[19]

I think about this here and there and only The Fema Police State and Skynet worry me more as far as Dooms day scenaarios go.

That is all

Eaily contained? yeah.. in most movies it is, untill one breaks loose..

Great topic.

For some read GOOD fun in the meantime while we wait untill it happen:

www.zombiepodcast.com...

download all mp3's and have a fun weekend!

Even less fun to consider that Zombies already exist. Here is some interesting information for you to "sink your teen into" (put intended)

National Geographic photos of "Zombie Ants"

The fungus species can infect an ant, take over its brain, and then kill the insect once it moves to a location ideal for the fungi to grow and spread their spores.

The National Geographic article goes on to say that it's actually 4 fungi and each seems to have a particular species of ant that it's best adapted to attack.

Another article from Scientific American States that

A tropical fungus has adapted to infect ants and force them to chomp, with surprising specificity, into perfectly located leaves before killing them and taking over their bodies

The article says that once an ant is infected, it will move from it's habitat and bite down on a precise area of a leaf where the fungi has the right conditions to grow. Basically, the zombie ant transports the fungi to it's perfect growing location!
At this point it replicates and does a number of other interesting things like grow twice the size of the ant host and reinforce the weaker parts of the ant's body.

Sound rare? Nature is actually full of zombie creatures doing the dirty work for their clever parasite hosts—a phenomenon known as adaptive parasite manipulation. In Central America, ants that eat bird droppings can end up ingesting a nematode parasite that lays eggs in the ants’ bellies, turns them bright red and rounds them out.

Live Science is another one that carries such news.

...the fungus uses as-yet-unidentified chemicals to control the ant's behavior, ...

The spores of the four species also had distinct features and germination processes.

A simple web search will yield tons more of reliable sources. Since science has really only started learning about these fungi in March of 2011, it leads one to wonder what the possible implications are of this discovery.

Makes you think of how many fungi have adapted to affect humans...

That malls here in Pittsburgh my friend. Well technically Moroeville (like 5 minutes outside of). Not trying to be a ______ (insert mean name here) But being form Pittsburgh I will never let Philly take any credit from us .

Monroeville Mall is a two-level, enclosed shopping mall in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, east of Pittsburgh. It is located near the junction of Interstate 376 and I-76. It sits on 170 acres (0.7 km2) and has 1,418,700 square feet (131,802 m2) of leaseable space on two levels, making it the second largest shopping complex in Western Pennsylvania.

Dawn of the Dead Monroeville Mall is most famous as the filming location for the movie Dawn of the Dead, the 1978 cult horror classic, directed by George A. Romero. In 1977, George A. Romero began filming Dawn of the Dead on location at the Monroeville Mall. All filming inside the mall took place at night after the mall had closed, with filming often continuing until dawn. Filming in the mall began in October 1977, but had to be suspended when the mall's Christmas decorations were hung shortly after Thanksgiving. Filming resumed in January after the decorations were removed. It was during that break that much of the mall's exterior shots were filmed, as well as filming at other locations. The mall was used as a fortress to protect four human survivors from a world taken over by the walking dead. Romero used the location to its fullest, beautifully displaying the mall and its vastness, almost giving the mall a cavernous feel. The movie went on to become a huge hit worldwide, leaving legions of dedicated fans in its wake. Fans travel far and wide, sometimes from other countries, just to have a chance to visit the location.[2] Several pictures taken during the filming are on display in a room on the upper level near Macy's. In addition, Time and Space Toys on the mall's lower level features an in-store museum called Monroeville Zombies that is based on Dawn of the Dead and contains artifacts, memorabilia, scale models of the mall as depicted in the movie and life-size replicas of various zombies. This exhibit is now closed.

...and yet you chose to reply in the exact opposite way that the OP asked....way to go.

I would slowly back into my house, and start fortifying the doors and windows on the ground floor. Then I would play the "kill a zombie celebrity" that they did on the dawn of the dead! Great times.
