So, everyone ought to have one, what is your plan for when flesh eating zombies take over the world? If you don't (or even do) have one, I suggest you watch this short public service announcement (Courtesy of Rooster Teeth): http://rvb.roosterteeth.com/archive/episode.php?id=226
My plan, and then we go to a remote spot to wait it out. Basically, I'm running home to Mommy. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I have a powder that I rub on myself that makes me immune to them so I'm not worried whatsoever! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Well if I find a Zombie, I'd break open the Task Manager on my PC and Turn it off. (The Wiki article doesn't explain that a Zombie Server is a can be a whole computer or just a 'hung application' that continues to operate with a trojan intension.)
Zombies taking over the world is a very interesting modern myth! I think it's partly because of a hidden fear of our society becoming zombie like. I don't have a plan, but in such an event I'd rely on my survival skills, experience and training.
Why limit yourself? You need plans for all plausible end of the world scenarios! (But there were fast ones in Dawn of the Dead, so plan for the worst Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! )
If it's the end of the world, I don't think any plan will help. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Apathetic societies are unfortunately a reality. So many things are allowed to slide because people don't feel empowered (i.e. High taxation) of course the apathetic masses don't eat brains, instead the majority of the First world are soothed by the luminescent glow of a Television (or more modernly a computer screen). Thinking of it just reminds me of "They Live!", although I'm not suggesting there are aliens amongst us. As for real life Zombies, Technically if Schroedinger's Cat could of generated a Cat in a Superstate of both alive and dead, it would be a Zombie. Since it's Dead... but living at the same time!
I always thought of living dead as an oxymoron, it's more like - animated dead. But that wouldn't sell many cinema tickets. Didn't think from the quantum point of view though. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I own a 30.06 Mauser (i don't think a 22 rifle will do much) for protection, and I could escape into the country away from civilized life and wait for them to die out. Madeline Island is where I will go. They are 2 miles away from the mainland and they have food and uncontaminated water. A perfect place to hide out.

It's actually curious that both these two great modern myths have originated and are the most powerful in the US - Aliens and Zombies. In the Eastern Europe modern myths which are more powerful among the people are those of witches and energy vampires.
Whiches and vampires? You can't kill those by any mortal means of weaponry. It just isn't fun if you can't unloald 30 rounds into them....and kill them. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
"brian, I want brian.." LOL... love RvB My zombie plan involves getting some sort of weapon and killing my enemies (formerly alive ones..) Then, I suppose I'll get some sort of fast vehicle, go to a medival castle and drink tea.
You can kill them just like any ordinary person, but supposedly they can kill you by putting a spell on you or draining you of all your energy, or making you insane. They are also very, very nasty persons, very evil, very disgusting. For an outlook on Eastern European current day mythology Night Watch and Day Watch are quite good films.
My neighbor is into VOODOO and can reanimate the dead, or a Zombie if you like and also can stop them as well. She made me a special powder that will prevent them from bothering me. In the practice of VOODOO they know how to reanimate the dead and bring them back so if they can do that they can also stop them as well. It's all in the technique of the powder making.

Ive often thought about this topic believe it or not, I even have the zombie survival guide. Slow zombies would be easy, its the fast ones that would suck. However they are all stupid as hell, all you need is a supply of food and drink and a decent perimeter. I live pretty far off in the woods with a well and what not. Hunting game wouldnt be bad, assuming they havent been tainted.
Fast Zombies are actually a bit silly, When you die your body develops Rigamortis (sp?) Which basically means all your joints seize as well as the blood coagulates. Of course a Zombie that's as stiff as a board isn't exactly going to be much of a concern for anyone, since it's hardly going to chase after you. However with Hollywood they had to have zombies that scared people and taunted them, which is why even the slow moving ones seem to suddenly appear ahead of where people are running (And usually because Zombie actors get used multiple times otherwise the budget for a film would be excessive) For the sake of argument though, I'd suggest busting into a Welding Fabrication building and getting a bit 'A-Team' on the zombie front by jury rigging a Garbage truck with a local crematorium incinerator and then just drive round scooping all the zombies up and dealing with them the proper way.
Follow the example of shorn of the dead and use them as trolly boysPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Oh and strider rigamorts goes away after a few hours, not sure how many but i THINK 8 so they may start slow but should speed up when it goes away
