The Zombie Survival Guide

Does anyone else have this book?

I just got it a couple of days ago, and I am more then half way through.

I love it!

Some trivia if you didn't already know it: The author, Max Brooks, is the son of comedian-director Mel Brooks.

I was expecting amusing bullet points so i shall write some of my own.

1. Run the hell away from anyone who looks a bit tuckered.
2. Find a shotgun as soon as possible, nothing puts them things down quicker than a shotgun shell too the head.
3. Stock up on ammo casue nothing sucks more than the click noise when you run out standing next to a zombie or 50.
4. Sometimes it's a good idea to revert to the past... by that i mean buy a big sword you can hack zombies in half with.
5. Get a car or jeep and mount it with armour and nifty paint jobs and spikes and shit, then go pimpin while you run down zombies Carmageddon style.
6. Get a few mates to help ya out but remeber anyone who bleeds will at some stange attempt to eat your brain so shoot them now rather than later and don't pussy out if it's your buddy or your pregnant wife.
7. The mall is your frined so long as there are no zombies in the water fountain.
8. Dispose of bodies casue if you don't you know they will likely get back up again, i rekomend napalm, petrol if you can't find any.
9. Shoot them in the head you idiot.
10. Best to wait out a zombie invasion with lots of food and a secure location, malls are good but military bomb shelters are better.. just so long as the zombie plauge didn't originate there...
11. Don't waist ammo to observe the amusing rag doll effects, conserve ammo and attempt to blow there heads off.
12. Fear running zombies, they can probably run faster than you can.
13. I think knives are a good idea, big fuck off shiney ones. The kind you could use to gut a crocodile.

Feel free too add i think it's an amusing thing to do with my time... probably add some more later.

Numbers 4, 5, 7, 10, and 13 are a great way to fight off the living dead.

If you enjoy getting killed that is.

I've survived many Zombie infestations, all with one simple trick.

Well they don't eat THEMSELVES, right?

So here's my logic;
STEP 1. Cover yourself in mayonaise (tastes and smells like Zombies), tear up your clothes and roll around on a raw steak. Dreadful eye-makeup optional.
STEP 2. Walk around moaning, doing stupid pointless repetative tasks, like banging on a door or a window, or pacing slowly around some stairs.
STEP 3. (Optional) If it is possible, you can actually convince a zombie you are just an extention of their rotty fleshy mutating body. Just cuddle them. They won't think twice. They wouldn't want to make the mistake and... bite THEMSELVES now, would they?

The End! Thank me later!

High hopes thats a good way to not get killed by zombies... but what about all thouse zombie slayers with big swords?

Tarefson · 03-03-2005, 04:11 AM

The best way is to spray fresh meat perfume on zombies, then.

HighHopes · 03-03-2005, 04:51 AM

System Shock, just give those Zombie slayers a nice big wink. Then they'll know. Or think you're a cheeky Zombie and return you some sass...
