    Ahhh they're making a world war Z film

    I dunno what it will be like, but I find it HILARIOUS that they filmed it in Glasgow..I think it was to save budget, since Glasgow already looks like a post apocalyptic city. And some of the population could pass for zombies.

    "since the smoking ban, all the pubs in Glasgow have started puttin out wee tables and chairs, it's lovely, it looks just like Paris!...after a Nuclear war!"

    I am worried about upsetting our scottish friends by commenting on your post but I just had to say that your tattoo is just amazing. Genius work!

    Hehe ta.
    I am Scottish :P We Scottish poke fun at each other and take the piss out of ourselves quite a lot, so it's cool. And that quote is from Frankie Boyle, a glasweigan comedian :L

    Follow Mruntidy. Eat his supplies. Run away when he sacrifices himself to save me.

    :noway: That is dark! I like it!

    Howie and I have planned for this, he's coming to my 80 acre spread in central Nebraska. We can use old shipping containers to build a compound. I have my own well, and livestock. There's no trees, so we can see them coming from about 3 miles out. I have solar panels, and a wind generator. I grow all my own produce.

    Oh, did i mention I have a pretty good arsenal and about 100,000 rounds of ammunition. 50,000 .22 cal, 50,000 asst 9mm, 5.56mm, & 7.62mm.

    I have a pretty stringent process for accepting people, but big boobs are a plus.

    Well, hello there! :love:

    Shame you're on the wrong continent, if all it takes is a low cut top to gain safety, I'd be on that!

    Ah the old "rage zombie" verses "classic zombie"...just to throw the cat amongst the pigeons and get my head bitten off in the process I pitch you all the following question: Can you even really describe a "rage" zombie as a zombie?

    www.zombie.wikia.com says the following about the rage virus:

    "The Rage virus does not directly cause the death of its host, but because the host is solely focused on infecting or killing the uninfected it causes those infected to become disinterested in self-nourishment, which will eventually cause death by starvation. Since the virus causes those infected to act with no regard for self-preservation they will not act to evade mortal danger, such as fire or chemical gas."
    Aw, see, not to start the age old debate but I was going for the classic zombie scenario. The Rage virus has a slightly different plan.

    Points for writing that before I even saw your post, please!

    Well you know mine is fairly similar. I would let you guys all know about the danger and inform my family. I would release my cats (*CRY*) and take the dogs with me for protection.

    I would start out by raiding the health centre for Tim's medication and then head to Charlie's for the guns n' stuff!

    I would then find some where large enough to accommodate every one and TAKE OUT THE STAIRS! Zombie can't climb and providing it was high up enough they wouldn't pile up and get to us. So yeah that's it really, try to gather horses to ride (no fuel needed) and gather weapons that require no ammo and ammo always runs out.

    ALSO I would take my zombie survival handbook with me

    Finally...You need to get your butt to mine to watch more zombie films!!

    Indeed I do need to watch more zombie films.

    See, if we were nearer to Scotland I'd totally take an oil rig and take out the fixed ladders for retractable rope ones.

    Wouldn't the hoards get to know where you are and gather outside making supply trips dangerous though? I think, between us all we would have a good chance. Good call on the Health Centre raid for the wheezey twins medications, I overlooked that! I'd blatantly 'accidentally' shoot a couple of those receptionist though!

    Your knowledge, Charlies guns, Marys fishing, my driving...we just need a ruthless killer-type.

    I am always around if you want to watch films :)

    And yup medication is needed for wheezy one and wheezy two! Also LOLZ, the receptionists in there need shooting...I would totally be up for that!

    Maybe I am the ruthless killer based on the above glee at shooting the receptionist? <_<;

    Maybe O_o

    WWZ has been on hold for a while until June 2013 :sad:

    Im rocking a moat round wherever i hold up as zombies in cages are easier to poke in the noggin with sharp ****
    Travel alone, i was going to take the mrs but seeing as im zombie fodder to her that just saved me a snack pack and a few twinkies
    Tote a samurai sword, razor sharp, silent n easy to maintain
    Paintball guns with ball bearings for ammo, fairly quiet and retrievable ammo plus a clockwork air compressor is available
    Fishing nets to tangle them up in

    Oh and hang around guys in red shirts, they always die first

    If its the rage virus we're all ****ed i dont care how badass you are

    If its your Romero shuffle virus then let the fun begin

    Oh and like i said on my status id rock a giant hamster ball, and some windex

    Uh oh, domestic in progress! :embarassed:

    I don't know how I didn't figure this out before.

    On the weapon front, across the road from my work is an industrial air conditioning repair joint. I have seen them taking in metal cogs the size of dinner plates. We have a blade sharpening machine at my work.

    Lethal frisbees. Silent decapitation devices (Y)

    Also, my other half just pointed out: we live less than 1/4 mile away from a John Deere. We'll be rocking a combine harvester. :smile:

    I'd just hit up Edinburgh castle, great defense but I can escape down the cliff (with climbing gear) if we get overrun!

    plus they have old weapons n ****

    This is what I think about when walking to work in the mornings or performing other such mundane tasks. It got me thinking...what are others' plans for Z-Day?

    Whenever I go somewhere, movie theatre, work, restaurant, I scope it out to see if would be a good place to run to during the zombie apocalypse.

    "Too many windows."
    "Entrance is glass."
    "Top part of all the doors are glass."

    Costco!!! No windows, barricade the doors with giant tubs of mustard, and hunker down with supplies that will last forever!

    Also, you'd get to live in a castle! Once the old world order had been destroyed, I think that would make you the new ruler of Scotland by default.

    At least it's not just me. Sometimes I walk to work and see nobody - no cars, pedestrians, nothing. That wigs me out, like: "It's happening!"

    Am I the only person whose plan involves bears? Seriously, wait for the zombies to surround you, then RELEASE THE BEARS! Bears would probably be immune against any zombie-causing viruses. Even if the viruses mutate to infect bears, there's no guarantee that the virus would maintain its potency. Sort of like how swine flu causes the flu in pigs, but a weak-*kitten* version of the flu in humans.

    Yeah, but...you really want to risk zombie bears???

    I think zombie bears would go after other bears. After all, you never see zombies in zombie films going for the pet cat...

    im thinking of the more basic risk here im not trying to catch real bears either on the off chance i could convince them to protect me from zombies with honey and pic-a-nic baskets

    Good point. I guess someone who is going to risk catching bears, and then use themselves as bait to see bears vs zombies, probably wouldn't be too worried about bear zombies.

    I've been keeping an eye on Bob (my neighbor). Bob is retired and likes to plan a lot. He is also a prepper for all disasters.

    My plan is to take Bob out and loot all his goods.

    Naturally Bob doesn't know. He gives me updates on all the new supplies and resources he has in place. I think my plan is a good one but I will miss Bob!!:-)

    Actually, right now, Bob should be your new best friend....then, he'll share the resources as you can be another set of eyes. Preparedness is all well and good, but everyone needs someone to watch their back. We all have to sleep sometime!

    Also, I'm totally not breaking into Paignton zoo during the zombie apocalpse. Granted, I think bears are easier to find in the states, so may be less of an issue there, but I don't want to get avoid all the zombies only to get ripped to shreds skipping through the tiger enclosure. Especially if there are zombie tigers *shudders*

    All this cold weather got me thinking - my zombie contingency plan has changed, I will move somewhere with a sub zero climate, then every morning I will just go outside and smash off the heads of the frozen zombies with a shovel

    or arrange them so it looks like they're touching themselves *s*******
