davywavyWhen out striding briskly across the rolling grounds of Stately Wade Manor, in between setting the hounds on passing poor people and stamping on any flowers I might encounter, I often divert myself by thinking. Last time I went out walking I got to thinking about zombie movies, which led me on to thinking about what I'd do if I were caught in the situation depicted in films like Dawn of the Dead or Resident Evil; i.e. that zombies are prowling the land eating folk, and I'm trying to survive. What would I do? Naturally, zombies are very stupid and slow but they're also persistent and hard to stop so relying upon fleetness of foot alone is a short-term solution. Some way of avoiding being devoured in the longer term must be found, and quickly.
It's a diverting thought - the body of literature on the subject is large, ranging from hiding in a cave with a gun and 60000 tins of Spam right through to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

So this is the question to you all to think about today.
You wake up tomorrow morning to discover that the dead are rising from the grave with a hunger for the flesh of the living. What do you do?

Either that or I'd get gacked when I offended them with lines about dead girls not saying no... ; )

Date: 2004-01-20 10:29 am (UTC)This is if I can get past the cemetary at the end of the road, of course.
If I can't, I'll get a flipchart & stand, & introduce them all to the wonders of pyramid schemes. As applied to feeding patterns. It should have the best chance of persuading them to eat each other (population densities, slowest moving prey, not noticing the occasional missing limb, etc) instead of me.
Taking this to its inevitable conclusion, we'f end up with one enormously fat zombie, who'd need an oxygen tank & motorised wheelchair to get around. Zombies not being covered by the human rights bill (unless the EC's even worse that I suspected), this fat zombie wouldn't be able to get the equipment on the NHS, wouldn't be able to afford it (not having a NI number or any form of income), and so would be stuck like a weeble in my cemetary, unable to move.

Best to be with family and loved ones - only ones you can truly trust in such a survivalist situation. Besides
Followed on hierarchy of needs:

Then again, it would really be hard to differentiate zombies from most of the nightlife in my neighbourhood anyway. ;-)
Addendum...

Oh, and Larissa's family has an autoclave in their home, with an independent fuel supply. Damn ... that's useful.
Yeah, leaving SF at the first chance in such an event.
