Is the Zombie Apocalypse inevitable?

Augmerson

And how best we prepare for it? I'm stockpiling things as we speak.

Its the fluoride in the water! It's making me hungry for brains....and cleaner teeth!

endacl

I'm OK. I plan to be a zombie.

Artful_Badger

If it does happen it wont be anything like the movies. Everyone will get infected, go crazy and die. Those that survive the infection will starve to death, be killed by the crazies or kill themselves due to lack of internet.

Itchy. 4. Tasty.

Play through The Last of Us in perpetration. Few molotovs, be grand

The Backwards Man

No, it's a load of balls.

Cookie_Monster

the smart-phone zombies are already upon us, luckily they don't seem to be as dangerous as regular zombies (as long as they have their screen in front of them)

Judgement Day, Sometimes I hope it does come, I'd get a kick out of all those jumped up pseudo intellectuals who only know how to read and write because of the church going to hell.

Oh yeah that turns me on, stoke the flames. :pac:

I'm more worried about a pandemic. We're due a big 'un

If rabies ever becomes airborn we're all screwed. It'll be exactly like 28 days later!

I was chatting with a group of people in a pub one night. they were friends of friends. A bit dull. Someone mentioned a particular place and I mentioned that it would be a great place to hold out in case of a zombie apocalypse. They all have me strange looks. I said, come on "everyone's got a zombie survival plan". they looked at me like i was nuts.

I guess not everyone has put the thought into it. And they'll be the first ones to die.

The place to hold out wasn't the Winchester pub by any chance?

I don't mind normal everyday zombies its the bloody hipster zombies that annoy me, reading Kerouac and wearing those stupid hats.

Tesco's in maynooth. It's all upstairs. has a load of food already there. And if you had electricity you could just stick the travelators that go up into reverse. It'd be like a zombie treadmill. They'd just keep walking on the spot.

johnny_knoxvile

my initial prepartion is to f**k raw meat into my neighbours garden every night, just in case the said zombie plague arises when I'm asleep, buying me valuable time to escape.

My neighbour however has been asking had I notice the influx of badgers and foxes in his garden.

johnny_knoxvile

once the whole thing isnt as boring as the Walking Dead im ok with it.

mawk

Its inebidible!

jimgoose

Plenty kerosene and tinned food. Oh, and a 12-bore autoloader with flamethrower attachment. Bring it on, beeeyatches. :cool:

Eight Ball

By the looks of Dublin's boardwalk the zombies are already here.

hoodwinked

well when it happens i've got everything i need around my wrist! :pac:

travis1976

I shudder at the thoughts of it, after watching all the zombie movies/tv and reading 'the road' , just thinking about it makes me crazy. I have actually some survival plans and materials. I'd last a day. Anyways, in answer to the OPs' question, I do think a pandemic is inevitable, some kind od societial collapse, but not a Zombie Apocalypse in it's true defination

BeerWolf

From my extensive knowledge of film watching history - Ireland remains untouched in all Apocalyptic scenarios. It generally only happens in the US.

All those hours of L4D2/Fallout will soon pay off

Reminds me of 'Dead Rising' on the xbox

Augmerson

I'll head for the Rock of Dunamaise in Laois. Only one way up, height on all sides (151 feet). Has a cistern. Be grand like.

iDave

Maybe we should write to our TDs about this

I wouldn't be too worried.

Sales have gone down dramatically since they shut down Hamsterdam.

I always preferred WMD anyway. It was the bomb!

...they all end up selling wrapping paper around Christmas, so I wouldn't worry about it.

You're not supposed to tell others your plan. The only people you tell are the people you trust.


In fact, day one of the zombie apocalypse I'm burning that place down.

faceman

What if we are already the zombies?

Mr Benevolent

The zombie apocalypse will never happen, sorry to be the one to tell you all. There'll probably be a flu pandemic, but that will be survivable by simply staying at home.

We’re already experiencing the zombie apocalypse over here in the states. But here we refer to them as Liberal Democrats.

So that's what's wrong with the Tea Party types - liberal zombies ate their brains!

Hey, don’t blame me for the comparison… blame Bob Hope.

And I think you are confusing us (the Tea Party) with the leadership of the GOP – whose brains have been eaten. The Tea Party is currently on a more focused mission... sort of like Tallahassee’s quest for the ever elusive Twinkie.

bring it on , sooner the better defiantly an improvement on the current situation

Nah, they're both loopy crackpots.

And "Amerika" should either be spelt with a "c" or a triple k.

Clever, but Amerika, as spelled, is correctly representative of the triumph of the American Spirit against oppressive occupation... perhaps worse than zombies.

yup, i'll find shotgun shells lying around in kids bedrooms too, along with plenty of alcohol and tape

Oh and don't forget sugar!

It's not a matter of if but when. Don't fear though. A specialist Boardsie survival team has been in training for years. Their objective is to save a select list of current Boardsies. To ensure we can protect the core of boards.ie.

I hate to break it to you, but the chances of the Native Americans repelling the oppressive white occupiers are looking increasingly slim.

Honestly, i felt a bit wary of mentioning it. Then i realised i might be taking it too seriously.

As long as once it hits you avoid the
Hospitals: I mean come on, you deserve to be a zombie if you think thats a good idea
Ports: Both air and sea, Unless you're confident of getting there first, but where do you go?
Gardai: If you go to them for help you'll probably have to fill out some sort of statement by the time you're halfway through you and everyone you love will be dead
Churches: All the oul Marys will head straight to the chapel for a mass to pray away the evil dead and they are zombies on the best of days so imagine them after the zombie apocalypse. Madness I tells ya

wazky

In the event of finding yourself in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, get yourself a fat friend, or well anyone you can run faster then will do.

JohnDee

We're at a disadvantage in this country, very limited access to automatic weapons. If most zombie flicks I've seen is anything to go by you need to raid gun store first off, then take your survival plan from there. The old smoothbore shotguns loaded with Rook Be Dead pellet cartridges will be of limited use in repelling denizens of the grave.

GRob1737

I find myself thinking all the time what would i do right now if zombies attacked. Always have a plan when im in new places haha
