when you make love to another zombie, is it a nice aphrodisiac to eat each other's brain with a spoon?

Well, F that....if we're going all-out fantasy/scifi weapons I'll just have Scotty beam me up.

Then we run everybody on board thru the transporter buffer to make sure they're not zombified.

Then it's "First star to the right and straight on till dawn."

speaking of being freaked out, one night I was totally bored and John Carpenter's "They Live" was on... back then I didn't know anything about him so it didn't alert me to anything.

Anyway, this guy finds glasses and through them he can see who is NOT human. Lots of them, infiltrating our society etc etc. I must have been in a real receptive mode b/c it really got to me. It's not really the ugly aliens and predators that scare me, it was the *possibility* of something looking normal and yet not being normal that got to me. I mean, w/o those lenses, HOW do you know? It could be going on right now and no one could tell...

Just think of the ongoing terror for someone whose had lasik eye surgery. :D

Heh heh

"I HAVE COME TO KICK ASS AND CHEW BUBBLEGUM!, AND I"M ALL OUT OF BUBBLEGUM!"

I love the fight scene in that one... "PUT THE GLASSES ON!" Roddy Piper and this other guy beat the hell out of one another for like 10 minutes because he refuses to put on a pair of sunglasses...

They Live is awesome...

They Live is a great movie (like Carpenter's The Thing). If you get over the awful music (which Carpenter does himself) they're both great films. Add to that Prince of Darkness, which I absolutely loved -- "Susan... radiologist, glasses."

I just couldn't understand {sleep} why the black guy would fight so hard {sleep} not to put on the freaking {consume} glasses.

Who said anything about trapping yourself? You'd always have to have a way out. "Six ways in and twelve ways out" as the book of the same name suggests. It could be as simple as having a sturdy vehicle behind a rolling metal door in a warehouse.

I'd prefer something that would require me to slide down a ridiculously long wire at a high rate of speed, and dump me into a writhing mass of naked supermodels....
But you know, whatever works.

The fight secene in that movie is HILARIOUS. It goes on for 10 minutes? No, it felt more like 40 minutes of endless punching and kicking in some alley for no rational reason. It seems completely out of context with the rest of the film and added greatly to the B-movie flavor of the whole thing. Like when the alien guy in "Plan 9 From Outer Space" goes obviously off script and just starts yelling "Stupid! Stupid!! You humans are STUPID!!" They should have put a message at the end of the fight scene saying, "And now we return to They Live!!"

I go out of touch for a few days, and look what this place degrades down to. Seriously though, anyone knows that to fight Zombies, you need white phosphorous granades like we used in the Marine Corps. They burn through everything, and even burn under water.

My reasoning behind using a phaser as a 2nd-3rd weapon ...
Seems you too stop/pause to fire the damn thing at a target ... the hoard would be on top of you in no time if that was your primary weapon. :) Don't even bother firing the thing if you're wearing a red shirt - you're not going to make it.

No Scotty to beam you up ... you're the sole survior or crash landed among the zombies - you might have the luxury of waiting out a rescue party, but it'll be awhile.

well, I'm glad you guys have figured all of this out....but all for naught.

Becuase what we really need to worry about are the damn VAMPIRES.

Sure, some of these solutions can be repurposed, but many can't.

As usually we're barking up the wrong tree with a different colored paddle...

Vampires are cool, though...

and zombies aren't?!?
















you just made my list...

All the vampires would be too busy shopping at Hot Topic and hanging out at Helter Skelter. No worries there.

Any vampire that looks like Salma Hayek can bite my neck any day. As long as she doesn't go all snakey-lookin'.

Hey Slacker,

I did not know JC was a zombie, that he was coming on to you or that you were resisting. Your use of the word "continue" implies that this sweet zombie love making is currently going on. You just painted a big target on yourself and JC, not only for us humans fighting the zombies but for Tabs as well. Nature hath no fury . . .

My first order of business would be to surround myself with people who I knew I could run faster than.

Alright, but there are times when you're going to be...um...incapacitated. Say for instance, what do you do about zombies while you're sitting on the head?

I always take my Glock with me when I'm on the can. I'd hate to go out of this world "Unforgiven"-style.
