    This has always been a good source of pub talk.

    Okay, so you wake up one morning, there's nobody in the house and so you decide to nip down to the shop. Suddenly you're greeted with hordes upon hordes of zombies (The quick ones from 2004 Dawn of the Dead). After gleefully shítting you're pants you run home, change your pants, and turn on the TV where the news is covering a worldwide zombie infestation.

    What would you do??

    Easy I would put into play the plan of action which I had put together based of the recommendation from the book

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Zombie_Survival_Guide.

    And no I am not sharing my plans there is only room in the strong hold for so many and they have been carefully selected by thier skill base and phyc profile.

    I'd find somewhere to wait it out while the Irish security forces did their job.

    Wait...

    I think they prefer to be known as the "existentially challenged"

    On another note, how do you gleefully sh*t yourself?

    It when you **** yourself but kind of enjoy the relieving feeling even if you are slightly embarrassed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,676 ✭✭✭Blitzkrieger


    When you really, really, really, really, really..........really have to go?

    I'd head for craggy island.

    Em............I dunno, I'm trying to be PC here, maybe people like Zombies or..........sorry, I mean the "existentially challenged" community.

    Me, I'd probably lose my mind for about a day and after I gathered myself together I'd get hold of a car and get myslef to the nearset R.D.F army camp and stock up on weaponary..........though that plan would probably fall to pieces before it even begins.

    Yeah, me too.

    If your going down, you might as well be high.

    Me and all my non zombified neighbours would be like the A team, converting all our cars into tanks with whatever materials are at hand and crush the zombie menace.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,156 ✭✭✭DaBreno


    - Feed the wife to the zombies
    - Setup a Harem for myself like Ive always wanted.
    - Raid the local off-licence.
    - Aquire firearms and shoot those I dont like.
    - Amass the greatest porn collection in the country

    Settle back and enjoy retirement.

    Get to somewhere that can only be reached by a ladder (attic room, roof etc) with as much food supplies as possible. If needs be I will do daytime reconasaince missions and ration runs with my trusty 7 iron for back up. Hopefully on one of the runs I will come across some kind of sniper rifle which I can use to pick of approaching zombies from a distance. So basically sit on my roof wait it out for the zombie population to starve to death while I chow down on Mars bars and cans of Bulmers.

    Ah, but if George A. Romero thought us anything is that they don't need their organs at all. They just have an instinct to feed thus we'd be waiting a while until they crumble from decomposition!

    I'd get myself a big dog companion and during the day we (and hopefully a misfit of characters, presumably whatever neighbours are left!) set about in an armoured Transit van, clean our town out and set up parimeters. Though, knowing the Irish somebody would recommend raiding the off-license (as DeBreno suggested) and we'd all go and do that 1st.

    Crack open a cold one! :D

    Never mind raiding the off licence, thats small time. Steal a truck/van or whatever and find your local cash and carry. Pallets of beer and mars bars instead of few measly cases! Barricade yourself in and your set for ages.

    Yea, but raiding a warehouse full of pallets would turn me off. If horror movies have thought me anything it's never go into a dark warehouse (presuming nobody's operating the electricity). Sneaky zombies would just suddenly pop out at ya and then *CHOMP!*

    I'd have to make my way to an army base and load my armoured Transit full of Styer rifles, Beren guns (Rambo-ish guns) and every last bit of ammo! THEN I'd go into a dark warehouse.

    Oh, I'd break into a clothes shop and get some dark clothes like combats and a trench-coat, give you that "I've been through it all" look! :p

    Good point, I should have thought of that, damn it!
    Big ware houses are easy to defend - no windows, few doors which could easily be barricaded with VERY heavy pallets. Enough food and water/beer to last for years

    I for one welcome our new zombie overlords

    Hmm, we seem to be veering onto Dawn Of The Dead territory: People shacked up in a shopping mall living of everything..............sweet!! Though eventually you'd run outta food and ya gotta move!! Oh well, pack up the Transit and make your way to another shopping centre.

    Kill time by hanging around on the roof picking the bastards off! :D

    Anyone who wears a trench-coat in a zombie scenario is asking to be eaten.
    Not for any tatical reasons (though anything flowy is a bad idea seeing as zombies like to grab, then bite), but just because you deserve it for wearing a trenchcoat.

    Hmm, you're right. The Anti-Hero who wears a trench-coat and has a gravely voice (which I don't have, the fags will sort that out) always kicks ass and dosen't care about anyone but he sacrifices himself in the end to let everyone else escape from some bizzare situation cuz he's learned to love. Fúck that!! Every man for himself!!

    Id point them in the direction of the nearest halting site and say 'Start there lads'!! :D

    They exist, they're just electroencephalographically challenged.

    Get food and weapons. Then go upstairs and take a sledgehammer to it to stop them following. Or just go into my back garden, zombies don't clmb walls. Also, go to the local animal centre and release all the animals (particularly dogs) to speed up the decomposition process. Then wait it out.
