Looks like the zombies have already taken San Francisco. I think we may have to nuke the city to prevent their spread.

Settle down, Dr Strangelove- Cali's going to fall into the ocean any day now, and we'll need those nukes to negotiate for supplies later.

Ahhh. Thought it was the new resident evil. The zombie birds were more dangerous than the dogs and even the "turbo zombies" (they sprint like they're on pcp, no shambling along).

Is becoming a zombie a result of a virus or of dying? As I recall the original premise was that there was no more room in hell. Which, considering my workplace, could be accurate.

So are we talking
A) a virus
B) a metaphysical event
or
C) a shifting antigen weapon?

These are all important points that need to be addressed because they all take on their own threads of thought.

If we're talking a simple virus then each individual infected by it should become an imperfect host and eventually those who have a natural resistance to said virus should be immune.

If we're talking a metaphysical event then would the righteous ones just drop dead when bitten and head towards the pearly gates?

If we're talking a shifting antigen weapon then certain species that share physical characteristics would be susceptible to said virus. Yet certain members of both the human and animal populace would retain a natural immunity.

Going back to point B... if you know that your path leads 'up' or towards 'divine enlightenment' then grab a 38 and pop a few before they overtake you. No need for an island If you're Islamic by faith then you have 72 virgins waiting for you (it's going to suck when you find out it's 72 virgin male goats but hey you were faithful) . If you're of Christian faith then you are welcomed to the pearly gates.

Is it your brain they want? Because all of the zombie research I've done show them just generally attacking a human but not necessarily immediately going for the cranium. If it IS the brain that they want I think I'm relatively safe. Well unless they want a good beer buzz more than they want the brain matter.

Bottom line is I'm following Laz and working on my sharp shooting skills. I would like the position of '4 star General in charge of rescuing exotic female dancers who have managed to barricade themselves into the changing room'.

You are waaaay too late for that position. However, I will need a subordinate or advisory board of some sort, and your enthusiasm in this field will serve you well in my Kommand.

With regards to the other stuff- I think, given the current state of medicines and viral pathology (where the cold is incurable, and medication for toenail fungus can and will kill you), a viral zombie seems incredibly unlikely. Moreover, I suspect that any zombie in the transitional period after being infected would suspect toe nail fungus, take the medicine, and die.

As far as SAWs- no one is going to be able to afford them under their current health care plans, and until the pharmaceutical reps start pushing them, and passing out samples at the doctor's office, I'm not going to worry about that.

A metaphysical event, such as possession and reanimation seems the most likely, as this is the typified scenario in which they require brains for the unique chemical properties and nutrients to sustain post mortem existance. As such, I'm still going to shoot anyone who frightens me in the head.

What was your question again?

Indy you dork, that's a movie. We're talking realistic scenarios here, not some farsical remake of a videogame. I can't believe I wasted that much time coming up with "zombie barncats". You're on my ignore list.

lazs II the benevolent... has a nice ring to it huh?

Riots and zombie infestations may seem like a bad thing to some but....

And hubsie... you might want to be a teensy bit nicer to me if you don't want to switch from exotic dancer rescuer to official food taster.

Sure thing Granpa Lazs. Want some zombie barncats? I must warn you, they are not housebroken. Definitely not indoor cats by any means.

I'd would head to Dallas Texas.

I would be surrounded by Texans and that alone would save me.

Cuz it would starve out the Zombies!!!

Everyone knows...

Texans have No BRAINS!!!!

Contrary to popular belief, zombies are not just midless shufflers. They have a leader and a master plan.

I have it on good authority that a boatload of zombie guerillas will land in Manhattan, where they can set to work infecting the local population. The beauty of this plan is its simplicity and stealth, for the entire population could be subverted and no outsider would ever notice a difference.

By the time the attack was discovered, it would be too late, and the entire state of New York overrun. Since even the zomies have standards, only Brooklyn would be safe.

From New York, the zombie millions would fan out across the country. A line might be held at the Mississippi, but only if Human Shields from the west coast do not become involved. Failing that, the uninfected still bearing arms and willing to fight might break the assault by defending the Rockies, supported by military aircraft napalming the hordes as they shuffle through the mountain passes.

Are you saying this is hillary's plan????

Actually, while suspicion fell on Hillary, initially at least, the evidence linking her to the plot is tenuous at best.

Latest intelligence indicates that the plan originated with a lawyer in a little known Boston legal firm; one Denny Crane.

What his motives are is anyone's guess. Crane has disappeared, and the FBI and CIA are desparately searching for him....for obvious reasons.

Oh be serious won't you?

nope.. real zombies are stupid as stumps.

the welfare and section 8 types we see stumbling about in baggy pants are not real zombies.. they have rudimentary intelligence but their bite will not turn the living into a zombie... it may infect tho.

There is no danger that the fake zombies will ever be a problem... most will be turned into real zombies and the rest will starve after they burn down their own homes over some percieved slight or injustice or just for the feral fun of the thing.
