If you wake up to the living dead walking the earth, what would you do?

You wake up, peak outside your window and notice the dead are attacking the living. You find out wants going on via the news.
Much like in the zombie movies, the dead are walking the early eating the living. If you get bitten, you will become one of them. You are warned that whatever city you live in is now 90% overrun by zombies. Shortly after the broadcast, you find that all phone/TV/Radio/internet are all dead. Communication with the outside world is completely cutoff. It's just you, your familiy, and the zombies. And these aren't the slow retarded zombies that you see in "Night of the Living Dead" These are the speedy **** as seen in "28 days later" If you stay inside your house, there's a good chance accidental light/sound will attract them. It is assumed that they are perfectly capable of breaking through windows.

What would you do in the event of such a zombie attack? Are you prepared?

Ok it's 2:30 am I haven't gotten any sleep, work's in 2 hours...

    Yeah, I'm bored now, too. I have to finish writing this speech I gotta give tomorrow, but as you can tell, I'm desperately grasping for distractions!

    I'd run for the shotgun and a .45 (the Colt King Cobra won't hold enough rounds) first off. Even if they may be attracted to the house, seems like it might be wise to stay inside. I don't know, though, the Suburban is parked in the garage. Might just pile in that and go blazing off down the street, running the crazed things over.

    a. Shopping mall
    b. Abondon warehouse
    c. Local high school or university
    d. Nearest Millitary base
    e. Another house

    Probably depends on how wide-spread this 'epidemic' is. If it's bad enough, we'd probably drive about 35 minutes to go pick up my sister and her family. If they're safety is of no concern, or even after having picked them up...maybe go camp out at the national guard that's about 25 minutes from the house?


    At first nestling yourself down into a mall or HS or university sounds like a good idea, lots of people and buildings and so forth, but they would be unfamiliar buildings, and I'd imagine most of the people would already be infected.

    I'd grab the truck, load up the family, and then hit the nearest Gun Shop/Pawn Shop. I'd do whatever it takes to snag up a Zodiac or some sort of boat, few cans of gas and from there Im shoving off the Pacific. If those **** swim after me, I pray the sharks are hungry.

    I'd call Chuck Norris. Cause nobody (not even zombies) is going to mess with Chuck!

    chuck_norris_1.jpg

    1. Chuck Norris’ tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.
    2. Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.
    3. Chuck Norris is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs.
    4. The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.
    5. Chuck Norris defines love as the reluctance to murder. If you’re still alive, it’s because Chuck Norris loves you.
    6. Chuck Norris isn’t hung like a horse. Horses are hung like Chuck Norris.
    7. If you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you. If you can’t see Chuck Norris you may be only seconds away from death.
    8. Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris instead decided to punch his way out of his mother’s womb.
    9. There are no disabled people. Only people who have met Chuck Norris.
    10. Chuck Norris can win a game of Monopoly without owning any property.
    11. There is no theory of evolution, just a list of creatures Chuck Norris allows to live.
    12. In fine print on the last page of the Guinness Book of World Records it notes that all world records are held by Chuck Norris, and those listed in the book are simply the closest anyone has ever gotten.
    13. Chuck Norris invented cancer because he was tired of killing people
    14. In an average living room there are 1,242 objects Chuck Norris could use to kill you, including the room itself.
    15. Chuck Norris is the only man to ever defeat a brick wall in a game of tennis.
    16. Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding.
    17. When Chuck Norris goes to donate blood, he declines the syringe, and instead requests a hand gun and a bucket.
    18. Chuck Norris has two speeds: walk and kill.
    19.When Chuck Norris jumps into a body of water, he doesn’t get wet. The water gets Chuck Norris instead.
    20. Chuck Norris can divide by zero.
    21. Chuck Norris can set ants on fire with a magnifying glass. At night.
    22. When Chuck Norris runs with scissors, other people get hurt.

    Think about it...this happened several years ago. Seen any Zombies since then?

    Of course you will suffer long term residual hearing loss if you are too close... and your dog will die instantly...

    That's why I would rather call Chuck.

    I read the article about Pittsburgh being unprepared. I would've guessed that it would be a great place to live. Very close to the river which would seem like an optimal escape route from zombies.

    Maybe hit up the mall if they have a sporting goods store. However, I'm pretty sure it would be impossible to know there weren't zombies already in there with you.

    I'm only 6 hours from San Antonio. I figure the Alamo would be a good place to hold out in. Took like 5 billion Mexicans to overtake it the first time around.

    First you have to procure a copy of Max Brooks "Zombie Survival Guide"
    4125B4ZVXHL._SS500_.jpg
    "The Zombie Survival Guide is your key to survival against the hordes of undead who may be stalking you right now. Fully illustrated and exhaustively comprehensive, this book covers everything you need to know, including how to understand zombie physiology and behavior, the most effective defense tactics and weaponry, ways to outfit your home for a long siege, and how to survive and adapt in any territory or terrain."
    With chapters like...
    1. Organize before they rise!
    2. They feel no fear, why should you?
    3. Use your head: cut off theirs.
    4. Blades don’t need reloading.
    5. Ideal protection = tight clothes, short hair.
    6. Get up the staircase, then destroy it.
    7. Get out of the car, get onto the bike.
    8. Keep moving, keep low, keep quiet, keep alert!
    9. No place is safe, only safer.
    10. The zombie may be gone, but the threat lives on.

    SNL staff writer Max Brooks was bored too when he wrote this hilarious "guide" then a more ambitious sequel book "World War Z"
    The motion picture rights were just won by Leonardo Dicaprio (who beat out Brad Pitt's production Co.).

    Bored can be good :D

    What would I do?

    I have given the question tons of thought, and I am currently working on a Zombie Movie (to be shot in March). Anyway, here's my plan...

    48924352ja6.jpg

    The Fubar - the most badass Zombie killing device ever seen.

    Also, in all honesty, I would love a Zombie Epidemic.
    Wake up, shoot some undead, breakfast, shower, kill the undead,
    video games, lunch, set some undead on fire.

    Because nothing is better than mowing down Zombies with a shotgun.
