I was thinking last night, because the off switch on my brain hasn’t worked in decades, that every nerd nowadays has a “zombie apocalypse plan” just like every nerd back in the day had a “wrongfully arrested and looking at prison plan”.
The former is easier, as it just involves buying guns and ammo; the latter involved “working out and learning karate” after indictment.
I’d be thinking about a lot of non-gun things, like blade weapons that don’t run out of ammo, armor (even motorcycle leather will stop a bite), appropriate vehicle, and places to go (like north/elevation where it freezes!). Since zombies are cold-blooded, you could go around with a chainsaw taking the head off frozen zombies so they don’t reanimate when they thaw. It irritates me that the “Walking Dead” crew doesn’t think of these things, especially since in the “walking dead-verse” Georgia seems to be stuck in perpetual summer. At least go someplace where it’s no so uncomfortable to wear leather or a thicker coat that’s hard to bite through. Geeze.
Although I’ve been tempted, I don’t believe I’ve ever put a bumper sticker or a back window sticker, tailgate sticker, etc. on any of my vehicles in the more than 40 years I’ve been driving.
Or do you mean the lame way that antenna is mounted down inside the bed wall? Yeah; that’s kinda dumb.
For a minute I actually thought the truck owner was carrying a piece of tactical rebar (duracoated in one of the Bloomberg Series colors) before realizing it was an antenna.
I’m disappointed in my realization. Tactical rebar would have been way cooler.
Can zombies read? Is the sticker on the window the moral equivalent of a “Hippy Hunting License” joke sticker, or more like a “cold dead hands” political statement?
And if there is a zombie apocalypse, I plan on using bulldozers and backhoes to make a moat-like walk-in pit trap for zombies, allowing me the leisure to sleep at night without disturbances.
The best thing about the inevitable zombie apockeyclipse is that you don’t have to feel self-conscious about wearing assless chaps, a stainless steel colander face mask, and a green mohawk.
“Dear Diary….er…Journal Entry, After several weeks of asking, the Wife finally convinced me to go on a picnic to the park. Then when I got home I’ve since learned that the world is ending in a zombie apocalypse.
As we both sat with our mouths open watching the carnage unfold before on TV she tearfully said “well….I guess we won’t have that picnic afterall.’ I placed her face in my hands and said ‘Are you kidding? The park is going to be full zombies. It’s going to be the best ******* picnic EVER!”.
Finally going to get some mileage out of that Springfield SOCOM M1A and that shitty Peruvian hardball ammo I bought in the 90s.
Going to bed. Though I doubt I sleep. Feels like Christmas at eleven all over again.
P.S.
Hoping that asshat down the street with the damn barking dog is a Zombie before we go to the park.”
I have that T-shirt! Gave one to a friend. Wife was not amused.
Who wouldn’t be excited? Get out the Mosin sniper and have at it like Zaitsev without the guilt! Bayonet will be handy and I can have the M96 Swede and the R700 F-Class rifle along for the ride.

Easier to ask which one of us it isn’t.

The hardest part about a zombie apocalypses will be… choosing which guns I’m going to wear.
March 21st, 2014 at 2:54 pm
I’d agree with Lance; that is probably most of us. It’s just that not many of us put it on our trucks or cars.

Now the worst thing about the zombie apocalypse would be if it weren’t limited to humans. Zombie rats! That prospect would scare the shit out of me.
March 21st, 2014 at 3:29 pm
I wonder if zombie cats would eat zombie rats?

The #1 most important thing to stock up on for the Zompocoalypse is TOILET PAPER!!
If you cant wipe your butt, why even bother living?

Well, if a Zombie Apocalypse ever happens in America, I sure hope that it starts in Washington, D.C.
It’d be kinda’ like a certain brand of Wrigley chewing gum: “Double the Pleasure, Double the Fun”.

Folks…that ain’t an antenna, that’s called a firestick. You gotta get up to speed on your CB lingo.
I just wish the zombie apocalypse thing would run its course so we can get back to talking about more realistic scenarios…like ET invasions.

I’m afraid I have the same bumper sticker on my driver side back window (without the rifle silhouette)

No worries Jim…I wore that tshirt today at a shoot.
March 21st, 2014 at 9:58 pm
LOL, gotta agree with Lance!

If you don’t understand the problem with the antenna mount, think “ground plane”…

“p.p.s. Just found that tactical thigh rig I bought before I knew they were shameful. Wearing that thing tomorrow to. Open carry laws my ass.”

Yeah, SPQR, I was thinkin’ that must do wunnerfull things for the SWR/antenna gain, heh, heh, heh.
