Best thing to do in a zombie attack? Well, logic says one of three things will happen.

1. The zombies hunger for flesh, any flesh at all. In this case, the zombies will devour each other. No worries.

2. The zombies require living flesh. In this case, just stand among them and imitate them. They're the living dead, they can't be that smart. Eventually they starve to re-death. No worries.

3. The zombies require living flesh and can detect it with zombie powers. In this case, just move at an average speed of two miles per hour.

For some reason, none of those options work in the movies. I'm not complaing, bring on the gory scenes!

Wal-Mart is hated because they drive smaller stores out of business with their cut-throat tactics. They sell merchandise much lower due to their volume, but raise prices once the competition is gone. While other chains do this, Wal-Mart is the most successful with it.

And not to mention the fact that they are almost everywhere.

This site might shed a little more light on the issue.

Someone told me it had to do with them using cheap labor to make their in-house stuff...

Still though, I can't really complain about Wal-Mart...There's not really anywhere else within what I'd call a reasonable distance to boycott it.


Frigs: The second worked in Shaun of the Dead...they just only do it in one scene.

Most movie/book/tv/whatever zombies are tireless though, so the idea is that no matter how slow they are, they'll keep coming. You'll get tired, or run out of gas, or something, but they won't.

Realistically though, you can't get something from nothing, so the zombies would run out of energy. Unless they could use photosynthesis... Hmm...

When plant zombies attack!

No, think about it, it could work. Some sort of parasitic, carnivorous plant. It grows on you, takes you over, and wants flesh. When one bites you? You get spores.

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

That's crazy enough to work!! You terrify me, Zakama.

Hmm. Plant zombies. I wonder if anyone has ever thought of it before.

I remember reading a Conan comic back in my misspent youth where he battled plant zombies. Specifically, he and Valeria were sailing by this island where this huge plant-thing resided. I don't exactly remember the details, but it placed these seeds in people's heads and turned them into zombie warriors.

The Expedition to the Barrier Peaks also introduced "vegepygmies," which were humans converted into plant-human hybrids that were basically like zombies (except they used crude weapons).

It's a cool concept, though, and it would be a nice spin on the old zombie tradition. Plants need water, and the human body is a good source of it, and photosynthesis would explain how the zombies kept moving. As to why they bit people, that's how the plants would reproduce. They just wouldn't be driven to eat flesh anymore.

I just pre-ordered the 4th edition box-set from amazon. Was this a good move(I saved 45 percent) or was it credibly stupid? I don't have much experience buying things online, so this is a somewhat new experience. Furthermore, they made me give them my address! What if it wasn't actually amazon?

[Jibar]

I leanrt something important last night.
I can sleep anywhere.
Also, Ms Marvel sucks and Iron Man is a cheating rat who builds momentum too fast.

Oh, and hooray! My last baby tooth came out.
I am now a man.

Yes! I remember that one! 'twere awesome.

...sauce

It's times like this I wish I could start a meme whenever I wished.

Jibar, if I haven't stated me love and awe of your awesome cat-muffiny self let me do so now: You. Rock.
Direct quote and adaptation of Chaucer, Python reference, Lovecraft reference (maybe) and more.
I bow before your awesome sauce.

Awwww, thanks.

[CurlyKitGirl]

Hee, another blush from Jib. But everything I say is true. I may go back and sig that actually.
Who's Ms. Marvel? Who's Iron Man?

EDIT:
@everyone who complimented Agatha: thankee verra much, it's excellent and it probably suits me.

[Skippy]

Who's Iron Man?

Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all,
Or if he moves will he fall?
Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
Well just pass him there
Why should we even care?

He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
Where he traveled time
For the future of mankind

Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfold

Now the time is here
For iron man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved

Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge

Heavy boots of lead
Fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron man lives again!

[I'm da Rogue!]

*plays Iron Man at guitar*

It's the 1st riff I ever learned to play!

That and Electric Funeral.

[CurlyKitGirl]

I should be scared but seeing as I can recite all of the lyrics for 'Dance Magic' I won't be. But I will say I don't really like Black Sabbath. At all.

[Kaelaroth]

Who's Ms. Marvel? Who's Iron Man?

Both superheroes. Iron Man wears a robotic suit with a variety of super-powered, high-tech weapons and gadgets. He was recently played by Robert Downey Jr. in th Iron Man film, alongside Gwyneth Paltrow.

Ms. Marvel was a scientist or something working somewhere NASA-related, who's endowed with incredible physical ability, flight, and energy related powers by the alien race known as the Kree.

[Rawhide]

One word: Awesome
(Will only make sense if you have seen the episode, also, SPOILER ALERT!)

[Serpentine]

XD
You're right. Only that one word...

[CurlyKitGirl]

Thirded. Only the one word needed. Now I want there to be more like that.

[Zakama]

One word: Awesome

I've seen that, it's pretty raw.

[PaladinFreak]

Wow. That is hilarious. I have never seen the episode, but still...
