What would you do if your DP was a zombie

He would be a very dead undead thing, very quickly.

Stove his head in with a shovel, no question about it.

extremepie, Michonne's Katana is a fine weapon, but is actually somewhat heavier and slower than a traditional broadsword.

The Japanese had rubbish steel and so had to laminate differing grades of metal together to get a weapon that was sharp and strong. The result was a hefty single-edged cutting weapon that needed two hands to work effectively as the balance point was a long way along the blade. The various broadsword types were made of better steel so they could lighten the blade by making it with fullers (the grooves that some people think are 'blood channels'). The balance would usually be just in front of the wielders hand and it was good for thrust (excellent for zombie defence - even if you miss the eye-socket or nasal cavity, you've still punched the zombie on its arse from three feet away) and cutting on either direction of swing, disabling zombies with soft-tissue damage for easier disposal.

A Katana is better for instant kills, though, as that forward balance point lets you put a lot of power into the swing for a good beheading stroke against a slow-shuffling ghoul.

Yeah, I've thought about this a lot, too. (I'd be going for paired handaxes. Easy to find, low-maintenance, good cutting and bludgeoning and light and fast enough to use one for fending off while you deliver a skull-crushing stroke with the other. Also helpful as tools. A couple of those multipurpose chinese army folding shovels and my apocalypse survival toolkit is complete.)

TBH I probably wouldn't notice, if on the off chance I paid any attention and he was indeed a zombie I would remove his head from his body with whatever implement was close at hand.

I would shoot him. Then cut up the body. Then burn the pieces. Then crush up the ashes, then bury them.

WWMD? What would Mischone do?

I'd chop his arms and tongue off. Break his teeth and jaw. Chain him up and keep him as a deterrent.

And I'd start sharpening my kitchen knives and fashioning something destructive out of DD's water pistols.

If DH was bitten, I wouldn't let him into the house/chuck him out. Zombies freak me out ATM. After watching a World War Z and Walking Dead marathon, I washed the bath so I could fill it with water to drink. My tins and wine stores would last a few weeks.

Can't think about ds.

Zombie as in dead, rotting and decomposing or the other type of 'zombie' that isn't really a zombie because it's still alive but its infected, infective and trying to murder you?

The live one, I'd tie up and hope for a cure if possible, if not possible and we have to run then I'd ask someone (hopefully with a gun) to either shoot him or let me.

Zombie DP, I'm bashing his head in. He's not my DP any more, he's a predator that's hot for my bod in a very horrific way. DP and I have had this conversation, if someone is a zombie then Id kill them to put them out their misery and save myself and/or others.

Bitten people, I'd wait until they turned in case some were immune.

Bear Michonne has a samurai sword, broadswords are heavy & slow has thought about this too much :/

I can already imagine some of you as the Von Zombies. Your nice neighbourhood zombie family. Roaming the streets and feeding on the neighbours.

Chop his head off with a broadsword borrowed from Michone

Did anyone see that BBC drama though where the zombies all came back to life? What if that happened?

On balance I would still smash his head in. Daryl has trained me well.

Depends if the kids had been zombified or not. If they had, I'd let him zombify me. If not, I'd fight him to the death :)

He'd fit right into the crowds in Birmingham on a Saturday afternoon tbh. Nobody would notice.

I'd take his teeth out and make him a nice lead, and he could sleep in the downstairs loo (it has a lock which can be locked from the outside). I reckon he could still work the washing machine and run the hoover round every now and then.

dress him up as me and send him into work

You evil genius Lweji!
Can,t believe how many of you get rid, what happened to in sickness and in health?
The moaning can,t be worse than man-flu can it?
.

nothing as I'd already be a zombie

I don't have a DP, but I can't help musing - what would it be like to be a zombie? All your decisions seem to be based on it being a bad thing, but what if it isn't? WHat if it is fairly peaceful, what with the shuffling and lack of crap conversation, need to work, pay mortgage etc?
I think this needs considering.

Zombies are dead. Debraining them is really just the first stage in laying the corpse out for burial. HOnestly a bit creeped out at all the folks saying they'd keep their loved ones' corpses about unburied/uncremated. Not on.

So, yeah, nearest and dearest are dead, I get started on undertaking the necessary arrangements. DCs first, in my case, the DSs inherited the farmboy build with modern nutrition. They'd be big, strong, dangerous zombies.

Ah, this one is easy - in fact its written into our wedding vows - he gets it in the head with whatever will do the job. Same if I turn first.

I will treasure the memories...!

Zombie DH would be headless quicker than you can say steaknife, although I would miss the ironing.

Zombie DD - well I'd kill her and then myself. No point going on without her.

You may be right, David. Although maybe use Hannibal Lecter's mask? And a lead, just in case he'd wander off.

I,d defo keep him (after sedation and removal of zombie teeth). I need him for carrying Christmas shopping around town.

Ok, so he,d be slow, but you can only shuffle through the crowds anyway. No banal chatter, no stopping at every apple/game store, no stopping to watch T.V.

Yes I'm keeping mine. Don,t know where I'd stand if the apocalypse happens at Easter.
