World war Z

I am about to start reading this book but before I do I thought I'd ask what you guys have planned for when the zombies come.

I think my only plan is to stay as far away from any FEMA camps as possible.

I would head into the Rockies with a fishing pole and a few other supplies. I would do perfectly fine living off trout and being alone to myself.

I figure the zombie attack will happen right AFTER the Unicorn and Bigfoot attacks, brought on by the flying saucers landing.

Reminds me of another great Einstein quote. Upon the close of WW2 he was asked his opinion on what a 3rd world War might look like. He said:

"If WW3 is fought with nuclear weapons, WW4 will be fought with rocks and sticks".

I know how to brew, we learned it over in Saudi Arabia where whiskey was really hard to find.

You would do well to come to our "Bug out" spot if the brown material hits the fan.

You guys can joke about it but if the elections go wrong this November, "bugging out" very well may be needed.

Tom, it is your responsibility to bring several good looking young Texas women to help us repopulate afterwords...

Joe, I plan to have a bunker, but we'll have to trade addresses and frequencies...just in case.

If you guys need a guy there who knows how to shoot and says a lot of cuss words you should consider inviting slakjaw.

I get tired of these zombie threads. Is it a code for something, like spoon for guns? Who are those zombies everybody talks about all over the internet? Seriously, WTF ???

Aurel,

World War Z is a book written after an actual zombie attack/apocalypse. But "zombie" is a thinly veiled euphemism for the "others" one might encounter after a societal breakdown.
