Personally, I spent my commute this morning calculationg how long it would take me to get out of debt and start a self sustainable farm business. Forget the zombies.

As for the weaponry, I would think that sawed off shotguns using buckshot would have sufficient scatter to be usable left handed. Also molotov cocktails.

Hmmm....

Armored kevlar clothes & helmet & other riding gear: is it Zombie bite repellent? Can the amped-up 28 Days zombies catch up with us on our scooters? Would relocation even be an issue, what with our current modes of rapid transit? CAN ZOMBIES DRIVE?!

My weapon of choice would be a machete or some kind of battle ax or sword. Ammunition does eventually run out, indeed. Now, is there a correlation between ammo & peak oil? Will we need to build A Bigger Boat, in other words?

I don't trust the military/industrial complex, nor the survivalist reactionaries spawned in its wake. It's all up to me, my scooter, and my blade.

We shall move to the thumb part of Land O'Cheese. Or the mitten. Whichever area has room for all of us AND our various scooters.

We should immediately trounce upon and infiltrate the WalMart as employees. That way when the strike comes, we will know our way around in the dark. We could practice our "codes" over the intercom system while we're at it.

Hey! We could fake sales numbers on hunting and fishing gear so we could get even MORE hunting and fishing gear stocked.

In the meantime, we could fortify said WalMart for our survival purposes by stashing canned goods and propane tanks and grills in the back as well. Zombies will surely understand the properties of electricity and heat, so it would pay to be prepared. We could also reinforce the outer walls and doors (oh...and those skylights, too!) so as to be able to lock it down in case of emergency. Create a revolving password for those unfortunate to be off the day of the strike so we can let them in.

Having such a haven prepared will ensure survival of our consumerist souls.

Or do I have to wait for geneticists to develop an underclass of subhumans to do all that stuff for me?

All of you worried about zombies are really just displacing fears about global warming, right? Or the nanotech grey goo that's going to consume all matter on the planet? Or a quickly mutating supervirus with no cure? Or a European fusion reaction experiment going horribly awry? Right?

Once again I stand by my assertion that fortifying a WalMart offers the greatest chance for survival.

I stand by my assertion that Wal-Mart is not the place to be during the impending Zombie Appocalypse. The Zombies will simply break through all the glass windows to get in! Worse, the aisles are so cramped with consumer goods that it would be easy to be ambushed by the Z horde. Not good. We need some place a bit more pre-fortified: less windows, more walls.

FIDO ROCKS! If we can figure out the "control collar" then we may have a chance to domesticate the zombies as slaves and train them to do things like change the oil on our Buddys!

Armored kevlar clothes & helmet & other riding gear: is it Zombie bite repellent? Can the amped-up 28 Days zombies catch up with us on our scooters? My weapon of choice would be a machete or some kind of battle ax or sword

Definitely will need to be good stuff to ward off amped up bite of the zombies, but it's out there! A sword or machete would be a good back-up weapon but you want ranged destruction to keep them out of biting range!

Must go scoot! Practice my swerves so I can ride through the approaching hordes....

Sure most of them will have a strong aversion to water already (as one of their creepy rabid tendencies). However, if no zombies can swim, that pretty much solves the problem right? Crate 'em & ship 'em off!!!

Since upgrading my cable to digital with a gazillion channels, DVr and on demand movies, my Netflix rentals have dropped to, well... I've had the same one for like a year or something like that.

I really need to check out the Netflix downloading/streaming service, though the selection isn't as good as the mail service (yet). Maybe I need Apple TV, too... hmm...

Ronin · Post by **Ronin** » Fri Jun 20, 2008 3:40 am

In reference as to whether or not zombies can swim... I think that even if they can not swim, this brings to mind Land of the Dead where the zombies simply walked into the water down to the bottom of the canal, sea, water area (whatever it truly was) and then right back up to land.

If they don't need to breathe, then we to be concerned about water! Our poor scoots can't drive on water and we could have a suprise attack mounted against us in the dead of night if we are on an island!

I say that we need to quickly develop an island that will be able to float in the air!! A man-made land mass that we can live comfortably til the end of our days.

If we are able to make this land mass manueverable, then we can take the island down out of the sky closer to the ground and systematically take back the land that the zombies have taken over.

As far as weapons for scooters (in the event that we are stuck on land), I'm all about going old school and get into Jousting! Our scoots can go fast enough that we can simply impale the zombies and ride like the wind far away. Ammo would be an issue though.... hmmm...

KRUSTYburger · Post by **KRUSTYburger** » Fri Jun 20, 2008 3:49 am

You make some good suggestions Ronin, but I still don't really know about the walking under water deal. If they have to breathe, they'll drown underwater and if they are just walking corpses they would naturally float from the gases put off by their decaying flesh... y'know... jus sayin. So I guess if they float then we need the flying island after all. Really I just talked myself in a big circle didn't I? I'm confused. I've been going to bed at 9:30pm lately cuz I wake up at 4:30am! So it's passed my bedtime, but I'm off tomorrow, so I doesn't matter. SOrry, rambling incoherently...

Crate 'em & ship 'em off!!!

Zombies may be able to swim, depending on what kind we are inevitabley faced with after "the event" (whatever it may be). They can certainly walk underwater without a problem and pull themselves up to a boat via the anchor chain!

However, my sister made a good point tonight at dinner (Scoot group)--if there is an Apocalypse--and we all know there will be--then Sharks will survive it (cuz Sharks survive EVERYTHING). So if the Zombies start walking or swimming out into the ocean, they will be nothing more than mobile chum--plenty of blood to attract a massive shark feeding frenzy--which should be enough to keep us safe!

Unfortunately, no matter how safe we are on the water (and there are other possible problems associated with being out to sea), we'll eventually need to go ashore to restock our provisions.

Here's another issue: what if the zombies aren't human? If humans survive but animals of all kinds become zombies and begin hunting us, what problems that would cause! I think animal zombies would be much more dangerous than human zombies.

a sling somewhere in front of you with the end of a 12 gauge in it in a sort of perpetual aimed-out-in-front-of-you sort of way. the butt of the gun could be under your left arm. imo using shot instead of bullets will yield better results considering a left-hand application.

donajgra · Post by **donajgra** » Fri Jun 20, 2008 2:35 pm

According to the book "World War Z," zombies don't need to breath because they are dead. Becoming a zombie is like a cell being taken over by a virus. The host body propagates the virus to more hosts and then is eventually destroyed.

Therefore, neither climbing a tree or going in a boat to the middle of a lake would be a good option. You would really need to be in a submarine to have any real protection.

On a different note, did you guys read that scathing buddy review in "Smart Money" this month? I swear they hired the worst person to do those reviews, the only scooters he liked were more than 500cc.

In reality, if that shark was hungry, he would've eaten the zombie. Also, I don't care if you're a zombie or not, human jaws wouldn't be able to bite through shark skin. But, if zombies don't have blood, the sharks wouldn't be interested in them anyway since their feeding is based almost entirely on smell...

Practice, practice, practice. About 35% of my pistol range time is left hand only. I'm not as fast on the draw left-handed, but I'm just as accurate. In Cowboy Action Shooting I compete in Frontier Cartridge (black powder) Duelist using the "double duelist" style (one pistol at a time shooting the left pistol with the left and and the right pistol with the right hand).

Get one of those grip exercisers and work your left hand.

OK, I'll play this game.

When zombies attack!!!

1: I thought "28 Days Later" zombies were actually not zombies at all. I thought they were just people driven to kill because of the rage virus. I don't recall any of them tearing the flesh or brains off anyone. Good movie though and I hope to see the sequel.

2: I would pick the tree over the lake idea as long as it is a giant redwood. I would build a small fort at the very top and just have alot of chainsaws rigged around the base of the floorboards so that I can cut the hands off any of these damn dirty zombies trying to get up. Let's see them try to get up with a stump for a hand! Of course, with all the gas I'll be saving on the Buddy, I'll be able to stockpile on the gas for the chainsaws.

3: Weapon of choice - on foot: shotgun on the right, chainsaw on the left. on Buddy: bolos attached to the each end of the handlegrips and a high-strength cable attached on one end to the rear of the scooter and the other end to a cannonball. Coiled around the cable to the cannonball is barbed wire. Drive around them just slinging the cannonball/barbed wire and cutting them with the bolos every time they get close. Maybe not such a good idea with the cannonball though since if it catches enough of them, I might go nowhere with the scooter. Then I'd be dead meat.

Has anyone pointed out these two books?

http://www.amazon.com/Zombie-Survival-G ... 961&sr=8-1

http://www.amazon.com/World-War-Z-Histo ... 961&sr=8-2

I have only read the second but can attest to the quality and credibility of the accounts in it. Among other things, that book ends the debate from page 1 of this thread about zombies being able to walk underwater because they do not need to breathe. Therefore, being on a boat is pretty much like being in a tree, though a very tall tree. Get too close to the shoreline though, and any zombie underneath your boat can reach up and tip it over or grab you. And if anyone on your boat is infected and doesn't know or is hiding it, you're really in deep water.

I'm from Texas, I know a little about these things. I had a lot of friends who still had families down south and elder relatives who were firm believers. One said when visiting his curandera grandmother in S.

Oddly, this stuff doesn't seem as prevalent in CA. I think this is somehow related to the fact that Mexican food out here sucks. But it's still practiced as far away from the border as Ft.

ah, yes, the inevitable egg...

you get the egg treatment when you come down with a mysterious ailment that doesn't seem to have a known cause. if something like that happens, it's chalked up to "el mal de ojo" (often mis-translated as "the evil eye"). put simply, when someone concentrates on a very cute kid, or your great new haircut, or anything that caught their attention that they concentrate on, often that concentration imbues that person with excess energy - energy that can be taken back by simply touching the admired. if, however, this physical taking back of the energy does not occur, the person affected will usually get a headache, or suffer from exhaustion and even vomiting.

the remedy to el mal de ojo is "sweeping" the person's body with an egg while praying. it is thought that the egg will absorb the excess energy, and after the "cleansing" is done, it is broken into a bowl filled with water and laid placed under the bed at the headboard as the person sleeps.

this is a small remedy that female caretakers can easily provide. which is why "are you a curandera?" is a difficult question to answer. in reality, anyone with a predisposition towards healing can be a curandera or curandero - to varying degrees.

and that, my friends, is "curing el mal de ojo as practiced in northern mexico and south texas 101". tune in next time for "curing empacho".
