The Breakdown of Society

[Supernick]

If zombies took over the world, what would your plans be for both the short and long term? For arguments sake you can have 5 friends or family. Do you take people who have skills in building, medicine etc? Where do you go?

[devilwoman]

first i would take my hubby and kids.
then i would need staff.
a cook to feed us
2 warriors to defend us
a doctor to take care of the sick
cliff richard to entertain us.

I'm thinking I take a few clued up friends, and we try and get to an island. I need someone who can drive a boat, or at least learn how to, and then we can disappear to somewhere that isn't very well inhabited. Must try to kill the zombies on the island, and then we should be safe, bar foraging trips to Tesco on the mainland.
We'll need to get agricultural tools, weapons, and livestock and carve out a new existence. We'll need 2 girls for repopulation purposes on the island, even though it's going to be a very weird family.

zombies should made a hardworking and reliable workforce, doing what they're told and not taking coffee breaks; I should start up a construction company, I think, and hire a lot of them.

Actually, looking around me at the office, I wonder if my employers haven't already cottoned on to this...

[aka pixi]

I would go zombie hunting :D

[~max~]

I'd first save my mum and step dad (both of them skippers, so we could sail to a desert island), my bro and his wife.
Then I'd take: a doctor (can double as a biologist/chemist), a builder, an engineer, a pianist and Bruce Willis (for re-population purposes....:-P).
And of course, I'd be Queen of the New World.

Zombies already have taken over the world, just look at the inhabitants of the white house!

I would have to take:

1) an ex-military or special services hero who has fallen from grace and is now a policeman (a bit like the hero in all Hollywood action movies)
2) my best mate
3) a structural engineer
4) a nurse
5) a gorgeous hunk for 'fun & possibly more' (although nos 1 and 2 could possibly be combined!)

We'd reside on a large, remote desert island somewhere hot. Maybe the Carribbean. With a little boat which is only half hour row to the mainland.

The zombies wouldn't be able to reach us there you see, as it's a well known fact that zombies can't swim, or breathe underwater for that fact!

And zombie flesh, so long as you cook it well enough, is actually very nutritious. So it's not as if we'd starve. :o)

I'd probably fall to my knees and wait to be slain. I don't do very well in a crisis.

Short term plans hide in house hoping zombies don't come crashing through window. Sit around on answerbank and myspace waiting for Supernick to come pick me up for repopulation purposes. Might sort out some good playlists to keep us going for the next 60 years.

Get Pete's car, drive over to Mum's, kill Phil, drive to Goodsoulette's to save her from Supernick, drive to the Winchester and wait for it all to blow over, with a pint of Guiness because I've given up beer for lent! Would anybody like a peanut? In all seriousness I'd probably hold up at work which, according to the prophecy, is said to be fairly bomb proof. Unless zombies had infiltrated the building. in that instance I would have to call upon the help of the management committee from the charity I work for then hotfoot it up to our bothy which is pretty zombie proof being surrounded on all sides by Scottish peat bog, enough to stop an army of zombies from ever reaching us, and would also contains enough museli, pasta, beans, tinned tomatoes and textured vegetable protein to feed 5 people for probably a good 3 months, by which time provided cabin fever hasnt made us turn on ourselves, we'd probably be able to begin harvesting food which we'd planted, maybe a few onions, and potatoes, and with plenty of deer running about we'd get by fairly auspiciously until boredom, midges and rain forced us to seek repose in a nearby villiage where we'd either encounter a barren desolate ghost town, a world that was completely unchanged but for a few playstation playing simpltons or we'd be ripped apart by a legion of undead blood thirsty waking corpses.
