Zombie apocalypse - how to handle zombies

[Andy54Hawken]

Supposin' Zombies were real...as in the undead...lusting for brains....

Might be best just to hole up and fortify ...after all dead matter decomposes.
Just wait it out.
But that would make for a boring movie or book...

I went to visit family in Seattle last weekend. I took my kid to the Pt Defiance zoo and was expecting the worst. I was blown away how much they cleaned up Tacoma. Way nicer than Seattle these days.

Admittedly, pretty low bar though

Tacoma has done a very nice job for sure. But as you say, it's a low bar to try and limbo under.

I read The Zombie Survival Guide which was pretty humorous book.

Keizer, the Tacoma of Salem.

Argh! Don't be disrespecting T-Town. Much better place to live and raise a family than Seattle. Or Portland, for that matter.

And yes, in the event of a "zombie apocalyse," heavy equipment operators are gonna be our best friends. Word.

Just finished reading 2nd book of PAW fiction where the protagonists were dealing with zombie humans and rats.

The guy effectively set the city on fire and blew it up with gasoline from a storage facility flooded into the sewer system, then the rats left the city and took over his house on a hill.

Two books.

It occurred to me that there was a simpler solution:

That's the PERFECT instrument for breaking up "mostly peaceful protests"!

Isn't that like comparing STDs?

Looks like I am going to be on the front lines of the Zombie Apocalypse. Twist Bioscience is taking over the old Tek/Zerox campus.

If you see these guys pop into your favorite Wilsonville eatery they are probably there on lunch break or testing the air to see how far the mutant synthetic DNA has spread.





Also, I would advise you avoid the Wilsonville wet market the next time you are in the mood for Bat Soup.

No such thing as zombies!

Yes, but there are lots of democrats.

No zombie movie or book is based in the reality, that if you wait it out, they will just rot away.

Actually, maggots would probably eat them before they had a chance to rot. They would be fly blown in no time. Now that I think about it, zombie movie producers are missing out on an element of grossness by not portraying zombies as walking around with maggots dripping from their eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. Maybe they have? I don't know, I don't watch that sort of thing.

I had a neighbor in Glendale Oregon Pop.960 at the time, put a gob of propane down a mole hill to do the same. the whump felt round the neighborhood the moles came right back but his yard looked like he was doing underground sprinklers!

I'm not so sure, I was watching the news on January 6th...

Back to zombies, if they're Infected rather than true Zombies, then we are all done for. Especially if it's like The Last of Us and caused by spores.

Mask up and you're good!

Depends on what the folks find to do with their spare time. Could look like a midnight Cinemax movie.

Do the maggots become zombie flies?

I mean masks are more to protect people around you so it might not be so effective.

 

[Gigatar]

I thought they were more to protect people around in control of you..?

Have you any wool? I'm outtie.

I was thinking a spore wouldn't get through.

Well, the older zombies DO make pretty rotten targets.
