Y'all are just jealous because I'm famous (see results #5 and #16).

Just another reason why I'm not a cat person...

Then again, my 11 month old can land a pretty good bite.

Somebody PM me about why people think zombies are a real life threat / concern. I've been seeing it discussed here and there and at first thought it was a joke. wtf, anyway??

The one site they are referring to uses the zombies as a metaphor for whatever EOTWAWKI event you care to hypothesize about.
They are not actually expecting walking dead reanimated corpses, even though those Zombies are just as likely as some of the proposed disasters.

There are things worse than Zombies.

If we are talking about Zombie Squad, it has to do with the origions of the group. It started after watching zombie movies and asking "what if". It has become a metaphor, based on the theory that if you are ready to survive zombies, you can survive almost anything. I would encourage you to take a look at their faq, http://zombiehunters.org/faq.php.

If you start talking about all the heavy stuff, it scares people off. This is a lighter way of looking at it. Right now, zombies are the silly disaster of the day, 20 years ago it was mutants. And if you don't get the whole "zombies are a metaphor" part, deep breath, sit down, take things a little less seriously.

I haven't been on ZS in a while. Ever since I posted my "Final Solution" for dealing with zombies (the one that sent Ironraven off screaming into the night), everything else is kinda anti-climactic.

Fun with chemicals, it's not just for Blast, you know, although my method won't go bang.
