Its weird, I've had a loaded shotgun pointed directly at me, been stabbed in the foot, been in sketchy situations with the police, and I've been in three car crashes but I was never too freaked out.  Maybe slightly but not as much as the various situations would demand.
You know what I am scared of? Zombies, I am totally freaked out by them. I don't want to be chewed and chomped by a bunch of smelly ill coordinated corpses, its something I am not looking forward too.
Everyone I know tells me, "well lucky for you they aren't real, huh?" but how do you know, have you ever seen one? Just cause the media doesn't report it doesn't mean it don't happen, I mean, come on it could, if they did tell us there would be pandemonium or something similarly spelled.
Watch the news, you ever notice those strange unsolved murders they report where a person, or persons, are found either murdered and all chewed up, or all with gunshot wounds to the head? The chewing murders could be the aftermath of the zombies, the shootings might be concerned citizens who know all about zombies taking things into their own hands and stopping the plague. Sure they'd say it was gang violence or a cannibalistic serial killer, but what if it wasn't?!
I'm really afraid that one day while cleaning my ears with Q tips I will slip and fall, jamming the Q tip into my ear canal and damaging my hearing, and possibly fucking up my inner ear balance thingy, and that a zombie attack will happen at roughly the same time, leaving me thrashing around on the floor holding my bleeding ear and most likely crying in pain like a pansy when the rotting undead break through and consume me in the bathroom.
Jesus jump roping Christ, I hope that NEVER EVER happens!

Zombies are spooky, but I am totally onboard with your Q-tip quirk. Anytime I am cleaning my ears, I always imagine slipping (or something like that) ramming the Q-tip in my brain, no bueno.

Q-tips are nothing compared to contact lenses. I used them for exactly 48 hours, and finally could not deal with all the poking and prodding around my eyes, and imagining what would happen if I fucked up and impaled one. Glasses ftw.

I don't know about you, but the reverse vampires seem like more of a threat to me....or was that the saucer people or the Rand corporation...
I should really stock up on guns and bullets for the coming apocalypse...

Why were you trying to clean your ear canal with contacts in the first place?

It was back when I was like 16 17ish, skipping school doing drugs all that bad stuff. (sober / responsible now I swear!  )
So me and a friend were looking to buy some weed and had been trekking all over town in pursuit. We met this guy on the bus who said he knew a place so we went with him to his friends house.
When we get there his friend looks extremely familiar but I don't say anything. Now after the purchase these two jerks wanted us to stay and smoke a bowl with them, I didn't particularly want to because I bought my half of the sack for me not the assholes I bought it from, but I decided to stay anyway. So we starting matching bowls back and forth with these cats and I can't get the feeling out of my head that I'd seen this asshole somewhere before.
The house we were in was starting to creep me out, these two dudes apparently sat around with the shades pulled, smoking pot listening to ICP playing PS2 and cleaning their gun collection  They're showing off their guns while we're all smoking and it's making me a bit nervous. The one that looks familiar finishes cleaning his shotgun, loads it and points it in my general direction by swiveling his chair towards me. Is he just facing me, or is this something more sinister? Am I just being high and paranoid?
A little unnerved already from the weed and creepy location I mention that he seems very familiar and ask him what school he went to. Long story short it's the asshole I got into a fight with back in school a few years ago and he blames me for the downward spiral his life supposedly took after the expulsion.  While pointing the gun at me like an asshole.
He eventually put it down after talking a bunch of tough guy shit about how he's not a violent person anymore and is trying to be good and told me to get the fuck out of his house. I'm convinced to this day that it was some pansy ass tough guy bullshit he was pulling. If I ever see him walking down the street I'd be sorely tempted to run him over for being such a dick weed.
in closing, don't point guns like a macho douche, either throw a punch or sit the fuck down.

STOP. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, we've had this debate take over way too many threads already. Zombies are scary.

Thank god I have The Zombie Survival Guide. Also all that zombie fighting practise from Resident Evil helps. Just a question, has anyone else here ever planned what to do during a zombie attack?

I love that book lol. Hilarious, yet lots of practical info.
I haven't planned what to do for a zombie attack, other than blow as many of their heads off as I can. I plan for the more human uprisings, should the need occur to defend against them.

A while back, we had an entire thread on it actually. I think we all agreed to come to Chilliwack as everyone here is a hillbilly or a crackhead and is pretty incompetent to start. We'd fortify my 120 year old house and wait it out.

Finding an island would be a must. I would think the Aleutian Islands in Alaska would be a good place because of how remote they are to the rest of the world. You could live off of salmon like my grandfather did during WWII when he was defending the islands from Japan.

Naw what we need to do is find an offshore oil rig, fortifying a house is useless because if enough mass around it they can easily over run any concrete walls we've hastily erected. Plus the incessant moaning of the damned will starting getting to us and cause us to off ourselves or each other in frustration.

No, you don't want to come here. I live near a big city, in a totally unfortifiable neighborhood. I'll bring the guns and supplies somewhere else. Ross's or Alaska sounds good. |
Come to my college. It's secluded, has almost a 2 year supply of food and well, since I'm going to a hillbilly school, almost everyone here has either guns or Ammuntion

Ha, wasn't this entire premise set up in the Zombie Survival Guide? That book was a fun read. Although World War Z was way better, it's the fucking shit! If you haven't read it, go do it now.

Physics proves the mall is the best zombie hideout after all
So, you're in the midst of a zombie outbreak. Do you head for the hills, or take refuge in a mall? A new physics paper says that hunkering down in a sprawling shopping center will increase your odds of survival.
A new paper from Davide Cassi at the Università di Parma, published this month in Physical Review E, explores how targets might be annihilated by "random walkers." These walkers might be any moving organism that can eliminate a target, but LiveScience notes that zombies are the perfect analogy for these "walkers" — organisms that meander without purpose and destroy any human they happen to come across.
The paper examines the likelihood of the targets surviving — that is, never coming into contact with these "random walkers" — if they remain immobile within various types of structures. One of Cassi's findings is that the more complex the hideout, the less likely a random walker is to encounter a target. This means that hiding out in a building filled with twisting corridors, such as a mall or a school, offers a better chance of survival than hiding out in the open or in more open structures.
Of course, all bets are off if your particular breed of zombie has a talent for sniffing out live humans — or if it's driven by an instinctive need to shop. |

Just watch out for those "mall walkers."
