Surviving the zombie apocalypse

[andygates]

Must be zombie season again; after getting all bunchy-gusseted over 28 Weeks Later and then positively hopping up and down on my sickbed at the sight of Resident Evil: Extinction, I managed to find the Zombie Squad.  They're real-life zombie apocalypse themed survivalist nutters.  Since all my disaster preparedness has used the zombie apocalypse metaphor since 1988 (Return of the Living Dead Part 2), this looks like a lot of lurching fun.  Now, it's American so of course there'll be too many boom-sticks, but even so, you have to respect any forum which has half a dozen chainmail threads and one - I kid you not - on how best to deal with zombie dinosaur attack.

(My answer: they were talking about a T-Rex so a trench full of petrol, a Zippo and some tasty bait should do just fine.  Zombie velociraptors would be a whole other proposition.)

I'll bet I can train even a zombie velociraptor.

Rolled-up newspaper to the nose and a stern "No!" perchance?

A squirty bottle of ice-cold water is much more effective.

I like that image. More please!

Compound?

Puh-lease.

I wouldn't sully myself.

My bad. Death-black recurve, ma'am?
