The first zombie attack has been reported in the States.

AIBU to want to drop everything, pick DS from school and run home?

I read about this earlier...freaky as fuck >_<

We've started sharpening our machetes...

ScarletLadyOfTheNight01 · 28/05/2012 12:48

And NO you are not being unreasonable...

Psammead · 28/05/2012 12:49

You'd think they would have a better grasp of clear English at the Guardi.... Oh wait.

Grin

Horrific attack, though.

SnowieBear · 28/05/2012 12:49

Thanks, Scarlet... I don't know what scares me most, zombie armaggeddon or the response from MN to my first ever AIBU Wink.

ScarletLadyOfTheNight01 · 28/05/2012 12:51

I judge my friends on their zombie survival plan...if they don't have one, or it's not up to scratch...I'm not interested Grin

Funnily enough, my first AIBU was a zombie one.

SnowieBear · 28/05/2012 12:53

Yup... using AIBU as an early warning system, I can just see it...

Sorry but am howling at the advert underneath the piece - 'Step outside and meet your neighbours for the Big Lunch'...

SnowieBear · 28/05/2012 12:59

Bloody hell, I hadn't notice that one... fantastic!

Should have given me warning, it's the second time today I have had to mop my desk after snorting spilling coffee. First time round I discovered one of my new client's surname is Wanklyn Shock.

HA!

I once worked answering phones and a woman called Mrs A Cockaday phoned up...I have never stifled a giggle SO hard in my life.

Callisto · 28/05/2012 13:06

OMG. That does indeed sound like a zombie attack. I guess the poor bloke in hospital will 'die' and then come back as a zombie. He will probably infect loads of hospital staff and patients who will then go on a rampage in Miami. If the National Guard/airforce/FEMA/CIA don't contain it we're all screwed.

Not sure what will be worse to hear - nothing (ie news blackout) or of more attacks.

SnowieBear · 28/05/2012 13:09

Scarlet, cannot help but seeing it as a fantastic double-barrelled surname for a short story a la PG Wodehouse. I can imagine Bertie Wooster getting into all sorts of scrapes trying to avoid getting married to the daughter of rich widow Mrs Cockaday-Wanklyn.

Losing the zombie angle somewhat, aren't we? Maybe we are so well prepared we are utterly relax in the face of imminent attack?

Oh crap!!! I better start stocking up supplies

ScarletLadyOfTheNight01 · 28/05/2012 13:11

We've got our plan down pat...My parents house is zombie proof and they have an allotment. We also have veggies growing in the garden if we get stuck here.

Get the Max Brook's Book "How to survive a zombie apocalypse" or something similar. It's got everything you could ever need to know

SnowieBear · 28/05/2012 13:11

Callisto. You've got it in one! If Miami was not already a no go area, it should be now .

YANBU, I got a shiver when I read it!

So in order to prepare us for the coming zombie apocalypse, here is a little game....

The only weapons you have available to fight off the undead is what is immediately to your left hand side where you are sitting now.
I have my wedding photograph, baby monitors and my make up bag. Think I might be doomed!

ScarletLadyOfTheNight01 · 28/05/2012 13:14

I have a TV remote and a mobile phone. And a book about a zombie detective called Nekropolis....

Obsessed much?

Wheresmycaffeinedrip · 28/05/2012 13:14

Where's the MNetter who had the OFRS link and the map of the dead??? Pleeeassssse we neeeeeeed u !!!

WilsonFrickett · 28/05/2012 13:14

I have a notebook. I can paper cut my way out of anything.

PomBearWithAnOFRS · 28/05/2012 13:15

Ha! Glitter I see your wedding photo and I raise you a Pterodactly (named Ptarquin) Grin and a blue plastic comb. Now if only Ptarquin was a real live trained attack pterodactly I would be all set to save the world...

ScarletLadyOfTheNight01 · 28/05/2012 13:16

I have a she-lay-lee (or however the hell you spell it, Irish club type thing) hanging in the cupboard on my left...that's not far away. It was my Nan's by the way...I'm not a hooligan.

StealthPolarBear · 28/05/2012 13:16

He's lost his life "right now"
:o

anychocswilldo · 28/05/2012 13:17

Mmm is it time to initiate my zombie apocalypse survival plan? Time will tell......

SnowieBear · 28/05/2012 13:17

Well, I've got a document with Mr Wanklyn's name upon it, a half-empty can of diet pop and a fork. Mobile phone also to my left, but a bit further away, on top of my diary.

If allowed to use right hand side implements, I can always twat them with a mouse.
