World War Z (Zombie Apocalypse)

So, I've just finished 'World War Z' (great read by the way) and it gave me nightmares.So I got to thinking about what I would do in a zombie apocalypse; how I would hope to keep me and mine safe. This kept me up for hours as I ran through various senarios and solutions (that's maybe what gave me the nightmares).Has anyone else thought about how they would survive and cope if the dead started walkin' and killin' the living?

In my nightmares it is always the fact that 'they' are taking over that gets my goat.And despite your thumbs up for the zombie way of life, they have no sense of humour so I doubt your stand up routine would go down a storm.So you would go from being the dude on stage to one of the dweebs in the audience.

I got the survival guide winging it's way to my house as we speak (amazon willing).Is it a good read?

Word.I reckon some familiarity with medieval weaponry would be the order of the day. Quiet and effective as long as you have strength in your arms.That's the message I got from World War Z: think man power rather than relying on technology. As long as you can keep decapitating you can stay alive.

I for one would advocate shooting dead in cold blood the guy who is bit to crazy (who would open the gates, turn off the power or otherwise some how bring doom upon us all), the city slicker who is out for himself (same doom as above, different motivation) and the kid with the dog (so we would not have to risk all to rescue the kid who tried to rescue the dog).

I liked Diary but I have to agree with you.I'm really glad the film maker guy got his! I did like the way the National Guard soldier got his, too (in Land of the Dead): nice little piece of continuity. Yeah, with an electric heater perched on the side of the bath :eekHow did you know the Texan girl got killed by a redneck?

That sounds like a challenge!Now, to my DVD collection!

Hmmm, well I'm not convinced.All I saw was the red necks killing zombies or people at then end. The girl very clearly had black or brown hair so I don't think it was her.Unless I'm still missing something?

If you listen to the voice over from the charming female lead it clearly states that the footage of the red necks was the last thing downloaded by the foolish film maker.This means that it had to have been downloaded when they were at the hospitality of the guys holed up with the guns who gave them the supplies.This of course took place while miss Texas was still alive.So for it to be here she would have had to drive till day break (the footage is the day) get tide up and shot and the red necks would beam the footage into the past for the film maker to down load it. And dye her hair.Your point about red necks in general is well taken, howerver (with the exception of Hank Hill).

What sometimes happens to me is my mental image of places that I've not been to for a while are reversed to look like a mirror reflection of reality.Memory is a strange old bird.

God, yes

It probably still a very secret place. Once the war was over they would have reverted to type.
