Boom! Headshot!

Are you prepared for the impending zombie invasion?
That's the question posed by the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention in a Monday blog posting gruesomely titled, "Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse." And while it's no joke, CDC officials say it's all about emergency preparation.
"There are all kinds of emergencies out there that we can prepare for," the posting reads. "Take a zombie apocalypse for example. That's right, I said z-o-m-b-i-e a-p-o-c-a-l-y-p-s-e. You may laugh now, but when it happens you'll be happy you read this, and hey, maybe you'll even learn a thing or two about how to prepare for a real emergency."

The whole zombie apocalypse started as a joke - the idea was to be prepared for whatever happened, no matter how bizarre or seemingly unlikely.

One of the nice things about living a rural life is the fact that we’re already free of all that urban “help”.
I am hoping for traditional zombies and not the newer “rage” zombies. The traditional ones are slower and easily killed with a cricket or baseball bat or some other club.
:-)
Did you notice that they never mentioned a gun for protection? What would be the best gun for protection from the zombies?
That’s what they want you to think.
I’d go with a sawed-off 12-gauge myself...
I would hate to be living in a large city in these times.
“My son (age 29) and I use that euphemism to describe my preparations for when the SHTF.”
My daughter and I as well (she is 22). She asked me why I bought a place in the country with acreage. I told her; chickens, turkeys, cows, rabbits and a big-ass garden. In case of zombies (civil order disruption, food riots, martial law) me and mine will be ready to take care of ourselves and some of our neighbors.
I use the term “zombie apocalyps” to describe what happens when Obama loses the 2012 election and his brainless supporters take to the streets to “take back the country Obama game them.”
My son and I have this discussion frequently because I’m a prepper and he plays zombie video games. My theory is whatever hold the most bullets. You don’t want your arm chewed off while you’re trying to reload (I stole that quote from a list of things to have in a zombie attach.)
I lot of people I know use that euphemism to describe their preparations for what happens when the welfare checks bounce.
The zombies aren’t coming. They are already here. They’re called liberals.
Personally, the “rage” type zombies represent, at least for me, a greater challenge. :-)
12 gauge?
Boom! Headshot!
Whatever.
Just don’t make me sit through “Dead Girl” again...
Screw the challenge, I’d rather live. I just ain’t that quick.
