hve been forced to ask this by dp and lodger.

If zombies happened what would you do?

I don't have one - apparently this is unusual Have never even considered it.

SO do you have a zombie plan?

Can't eblieve this has been going today as well!

southeastastra · 20/04/2007 18:59

hah jackieno it's a bizarre thread!

they're quite slow though zombies so i'd just run away

singingmum · 20/04/2007 20:37

Apparently I don't have to worry as my Dp and his best friend are Super Heroes
Captain Charisma&
Aquaman
Am unsure how to react to this anymore.Should have seen this answer coming

Flamesparrow · 20/04/2007 20:44

lmao SM!

I keep thinking about how casually my DH pondered (like it was a perfectly serious question) and said "Nah, we'll wing it!"

TheArmadillo · 20/04/2007 21:02

OMG I can't believe this carried on after I went to bed.

You were supposed to mock them not join them.

Me and dp had a really long argument when we went to bed last night as I refuse to believe they could ever happen.

Apparently this thread has helped ensure the survival of the human race when the zombies come - they talk like its really gonna happen.

have just asked dp completely out of the blue and so went the conversation:

pink; so do you have a zombie plan?

dp; (spins around with wide eyes) where did that come out of? of course i have a zombie plan!

pink; (dissolves onto laughter for 5 minutes before pulling herself together and explaining thread) so go on tell us your zombie plan then...

dp; we get on the roof of greenhill school initially, it's close to shops and supplies. we'll need to arm ourselves of course...

pink; hang on, greenhill school is in XXX where you grew up?

dp; yes well obviously it'll need to be updated for here

pink; so if zombies tuned up outside the door right now what's your plan?

dp; we'd get in the car and get up onto the dunnes stores roof

pink; with 2 kids?

dp; normal rules fdon't apply when there's zombies, we can drive the car right up to the side of the building and climb up. initially of course, we'd have to move on when stores ran out, communities would eventually be set up

pink; your zombie plan is shit. come up with a better paln or i'll find someone with a good zombie plan to protect my babies!

he's sulking on the couch now

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 20/04/2007 21:07

PMSL @ pink's DH's shit plan! Driving cars up buildings FFS!

Flamesparrow · 20/04/2007 21:07

lmao!

themoon66 · 20/04/2007 21:16

Ooooh we are saved.... here we go

PinkTulips · 20/04/2007 21:16

oh and apparently it says in the bible that 'the dead will walk again' so zombies are a religious thing

Boco · 20/04/2007 21:18

Apparently you have to suck the eyes out of zombies using a handheld dustbuster, and they can then be dispatched at a more leisurely pace.

pointydog · 20/04/2007 21:28

Have you ever seen a zombie run fast or climb a tree?

I think we are safe

Flamesparrow · 20/04/2007 21:33

DH says they smell you rather than see, so dustbusters no good.

PinkTulips · 20/04/2007 21:34

he's still talking

robots are going to come first apparently, the end of the world will come soon after

apparently if it's werewolves or zombies we're fucked though

and he keeps rambling about guns too.... we live in ireland ffs! what are we going to do, ask the IRA for a loan!!!!

i'm quite upset about his crappy plans, i may have to come up with some myself

Flamesparrow · 20/04/2007 21:42

pmsl - go see FFF2, I feel sure she'll have a good plan!

PinkTulips · 20/04/2007 21:46

good idea

firefly... come back here and share your plan!

madamez · 20/04/2007 23:03

Just popping back in (sorry, been busy building zombie traps in the front garden) to say:
Mustrunmore, tell him it was Resonance FM. They do anything on there.
NQC, don't be silly. Of course zombies come out of graveyards. GO and watch NOTLD 20 times. Remember all those long shots of oozing greying fingers stabbing through the earth.

Oh, and everyone: to boost your chances of surviving in the event of Unexpected Cataclysm, zombies happening or even a bit of a flood, avoid being any of the following: secretly less than 4 months pregnant, hiding a Hideous Guilty Secret, desperately in love with someone who you haven't told (particularly if the love object is of an inappropriate gender), Just About to Go Straight, unreconciled with a family member... these will all get you a drawn out death scene. Of course, don't be unattractive unless mindbendingly so - ordinary-unattractive gets you straight into the front line of monster fodder.

MrsWho · 21/04/2007 12:09

madamez don't forget just about to get in the bath/wearing skimpy bikini

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 21/04/2007 12:28

Pink, do you not think the bible-related reference to the "dead walking again" might be more along the lines of.... heaven... than zombie-dom? Just a thought...

PinkTulips · 21/04/2007 12:41

lol, that's not my theory, it's dp's!

i was way too tired to argue with him last night!

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 21/04/2007 12:47

I know but I assumed you believed it as you appeared so dismayed..

PinkTulips · 21/04/2007 12:51

that said, it is in revelations as one of the signs of the apocalypse so maybe it is zombies

doesn't god raise all the dead to life, judge them and send them body and soul into heaven or hell?

tbh i'm more worried about the 'day after tomorrow scenario' as i hate the cold, think i'd prefewr zombies to an ice age tbh

hippipotami · 21/04/2007 12:58

I think this has got to be one of the funniest threads ever! Have spent the past two days dipping in and out of it, and have roffled, wet myself and sprayed tea over the pc, sometimes all 3 at the same time!!

Keep it up, you guys are all certifiable but in a good way!!

By the way, have not yet asked dh about a zombie plan - will do so tonight when he is back from work.

bran · 21/04/2007 13:15

Just as I was dropping off to sleep last night I was thinking about ds's nursery and how difficult it would be to rescue him from it in the event of a full-scale zombie onslaught in terms of location and layout of the building. Then it occured to me that you don't often see pre-teen zombies in the movies, and I wondered why that was. Also how could you reliably tell the difference between a zombie toddler and a human toddler? Afterall they both tend to walk unsteadily and often aimlessly with lots of incoherent moaning/whinging and a tendency to bite.
