How to survive zombie invasion?

1. Be prepared. Have a plan and stick to it.
2. Don’t wander off from the group for any reason. Not even if you hear a child crying.
3. Don’t trust anyone who has wandered off from the group, they could be infected.
4. If there is any sign of possible infection, watch someone very carefully. If you even think they might turn, dispense with them.
5. Practice. Get a game like Left for Dead and practice. Then talk to your teammates about your zombie plan. Make sure it makes sense—nothing like “throw the cat to decapitate”.
6. Have a safety kit ready. You can start with a basic roadside assistance or emergency kit, but add some vitals like a machete.
7. Know where you are going and have several routes to get there.
8. Learn to drive many different kinds of vehicles including, but not limited to: trucks, stick shift, planes, bloats, helicopters, trains. You never know what you’ll need.
9. Make sure your arsenal is ready.
10. Don’t get bitten. Don’t get scratched. Don’t let them near your brains.

And for heaven’s sake, don’t just go to the pub.

What exactly was it that I missed?

When did the culture suddenly become obsessed with “surviving a zombie invasion?” I first started hearing these conversations during the spring. The first time I thought, ‘oh, cool. that’s an interesting conversation right there.’ But then I heard another conversation on the same topic. On the bus, in the hallways at school, on the internet. Everyone started giving their opinions on how they would survive an zombie attack, what they have in their zombie emergency kit.

For god’s sake, someone please fill me in.

Watch the following movies and take lots of notes:

Dawn of the Dead
Army of Darkness
Resident Evil
Day of the Dead
28 Days Later
28 Weeks Later
The Evil Dead
Night of the Living Dead

Go to a Wal-Mart.

Everything from guns to camping gear to food.

@pete: Maybe everyone is playing WoW. There’s millions of us, and there’s a zombie plague running through our lands at the moment. :)

When that day comes…you can give me a jingle and hide out in my super secret tree house I have a sign outside of it that says no girls and no zombies.

I don’t know, it’s one of those things that every set of friends I’ve had (high school, college, post-college) has talked about. I’ve made a zombie plan which each set. Sometimes when we’re out and we see something we’ll modify it because we saw an absurd car or something. It’s just a fun, quirky way to pass time.

put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye :)

@BlueFreedom: You forgot Shawn of the Dead!

@augustlan: I don’t know, Shaun of the Dead might be a “What Not To Do” kind of movie.

@augustlan, i know its picky but is shaun, not shawn.

@augustian. That was a good movie, too. :o)

@joeysefika:it’s not its or is : )

Haha, damn and I cant go back and edit it. (now I look like a hypocrite)

yes exactly that was the point!

Another movie:
30 Days of Night

Make sure you can run fast while carrying a large caliber rifle and or pistol. Load up on everything from throwing stars to hand grenades and make sure you have an ax to chop off the head and or feet and hands. It could get real serious out there real quick. Make sure you don’t back yourself in to a corner and get to the top of the highest mountain you can.

OR

Buy a boat and get to the middle of an ocean or a deep ass lake. Zombies are terrible, terrible swimmers.

Why? What have you heard?

Dammit…I considered looking it up, and was too lazy. Here’s another thing to nitpick:

@Sloane: 30 Days of Night is a vampire movie.

You guys forgot Fido..that’s the best zombie movie hands down

Oh! There’s also one or two episodes of Alias!

They were the first few episodes I saw. Let me tell you, I was SO DISAPPOINTED when it returned to its more regular programming.

FIDO was awesome.

Read this book.

I know one thing…always shot them in the head. Not the leg, not the arm…not the chest. The head people!

judochop..I conquer how come you’re like the only other person that 1) agreed with me and 2)has actually seen it..lurve fashoo

@ad: Did you mean that you ‘concur’?

I did oops..cuz I haven’t conquered anything..yet thank you corrections seem to be the thing here ha

I am a fan of zombie movies.

@Augustian: ... and a really bad one at that…. ;P

@adri027: Oh, yeah. We’re freaking crazy about spelling on Fluther. You have no idea. :-P
