Westlake Hardware stresses zombie preparedness!

Heard a three hour radio interview with Max Brooks about World War Z. They did the first hour "straight", acting like it was a real event and rehashing the aftermath. Unfortunately, I haven't read it yet, but it is on my list of things to do before I get old. Just got to wait until I no longer have kids clambering around my ankles constantly. Sometimes they're worse than zombies. Zombies lose interest after they've eaten.

Yeah, I guess you're right. Hopefully noone takes offense, though.

YES! It's incredible. I cant wait.

College campuses around the USA have been playing this great game called Human Vs. Zombie and it's really intense and great fun. They've been doing it at my school, UW Madison, too and it's funny seeing it in action. Basically, everyone starts out with these orange bandanas that say "human" on them and then if you get tagged by the one person whose bandana says "Zombie" then you have to flip over yuor bandana so it says "zombie" too and start tagging humans. You have to try to save the person who is deemed "the spy" and save them before zombies get to them.

Its been going on for a few weeks now and the students that are still human are now carrying around nerf guns to shoot at zombies, and sleeping on campus. If yuo leave campus for over 24 hours, you are eliminated from the game, so yuo have to sleep on campus over the weekend and try to stay away from zombies in the night. It's really interesting. I wanted to play too but they ran out of bandanas. I guess it gets pretty intense where people get swarmed by the zombies and they have to run through campus buildings and stuff to hide. haha. Heres the rules of the game:

Heres some pics from the games going on all over:

LOL!!!! I just foudn this one at Madison!! I cant stop laughing. This is the huge Abe Lincoln statue outside of Bascom Hall and apparently one human student is clinging to Abe for dear life while zombies try to get him:

sorry to hijack this thread. I just think this game is way too awesome. I want to play it so bad.

(ps- I was lifted onto that statue by a handsome irishman last year ;) I wanted to get up there for a picture and he let me stand on his hands and lifted me up. *swoons* He had a lovely accent. Good times, Abe Lincoln, good times...)

aren't they fun!! I had a blast watching the game going on during passing time from classes. I'd see someone running and being chased by someone else and I had no idea what the bandanas were for. The only thing I didnt like was early in the morning I was walking into one of my buildings (Bascom Hall, actually. The one with the Abe statue) and one of the humans was being chased by a zombie adn he bolted in the door and pushed me up against a wall so he could get past me. I looked at him and yelled "what the hell!?" and he was like "omg im sorry! zombies were trying to get me!" hahaha.

Here's a free download to put us all in the mood. An awesome and timely song by Special School (Professor Elemental's group) called Hungry - re: the zombiepocalypse.

I think he's been properly "tagged", don't you Mehgan?

You people need to stop all this foolishness about shotguns and broomsticks and just call Father Bill and get him to send over 1,000 gallons of holy water. Ever seen a zombie disintegrate in holy water? It's a sight to see.
Or, you can put on a flat cap and white hose and the zombies will run away from you.
