BLITEOTW

I've been reading the words of some of the other survivors. And frankly, I'm amazed that some have made it this long.

Most of you who've made it to this point will already know what I am about to put down to text. But just in case, a few things to remember once you stop panicking.

FIREBOMBING the walking dead is a BAD idea if you're trying to defend a position. Zombies are basically meat and fat encased around skeletons ( which are also full of nice and fatty marrow ). Light them up and you've now got walking torches. Whatever they fall against will also go up in flames. Only use the molotov cocktails if you're trying to make an escape.

Axes, machetes, chainsaws etc etc etc ... This ain't the movies people! All those blades can and will get stuck in the bones of what you're trying to mow down. I'm betting 99% of us do NOT possess the skill nor luck to perform a clean single strike decapitation. And the majority of that 99% do not possess the strength it takes to pull a blade from bone before you're overtaken.

Automatic firearms ... the amount it takes to actually mow down a body that doesn't register pain is materials prohibative. Don't waste the ammo. A shotgun will knock the ghoul down but it'll get back up unless you've managed to seperate the torso from the legs. a solid slug MIGHT take out the head.

Your best chances of survival ( if you've made it to a barricaded location ) is an elevated position where you're able to take the time to slowly pick them bastards off.

For my friends in (formerly) densely populated areas ... Good Night and Good luck.

Tall, brick building.

Zombies outside.

Firebombs = hours of fun.

Brick isn't as flameproof as some people believe.

[sirriamnis.livejournal.com]

This is. It was built in the fifties. Even the tile glue has asbestos.

Okay, just make sure to save some of the alcohol for sterilizing wounds.

We pretty much have to call in an asbestos abatement team if we want to hang a picture.

It's not so bad. The ones outside can't get in. And the ones inside can't figure out how to get the headsets off, so they're pretty much chained to their desks.

We'll hold out as long as the cafeteria fridges do.

then we get in a car & head north.

Hopefully we won't have to deal with undead moose...

What's with the zombie posts today? Did I miss it being National Zombie Celebration Day or something? You're the second person on my friends list to post about zombies.

I suggested to my other friend that he head to Capitol Hill to escape. There's not enough combined grey matter there to be of interest to zombies.

And you're making the assumption that it's the "Return of the Living Dead" style ghouls. Those wanted brains and could go after you until they were atomized.

I'm ready. Are you? ;-)

While I'm unsure of the original context of your entry. I lol right at my desk.

Thankfully it is not late at night or I may lie awake til dawn.
