How long would you last...

[Tryharder62]

....in a zombie apocalypse? My husband bought those dinners that have a shelf life of 20 years. I think he and I have enough for a month. I don't do well at hide and seek though, so I think I will be dead before I eat em all. I also think I don't want to eat crap for 30 days just to be eaten by zombies after. I've heard that people have saved twinkies for years and they have enough preservatives to last a very long time. That is what I'm going to stock up on. I may be eaten but at least my last meal would be a twinkie.

What kinda zombie apocalypse are we talking about?

Do I have to deal with the Walking Dead zombies that slowly shuffle towards a sound and a bite will slowly turn me in a day or two?

Or am I dealing with the 28 Days Later zombies that will indefinitely sprint towards me like a mob of cannibal Usain Bolts on crack and a single drop of zombie body fluid can turn me in 30 seconds?

 

[pecksniff]

Or maybe a Haitian Voodoo zombie that does nothing but what the houngan makes it do?

Hey, Back to back, ha ha ha ha, hey, belly to belly
Yes my friends
Hey, Back to back, ha ha ha ha, hey, belly to belly
It was a zombie jamboree
Took place in the New York cemetery
Oh, it was a zombie jamboree
Took place in the New York cemetery
Zombies from all parts of the island
Some of them are great Calypsonians
Since the season was carnival
They got together in bacchanal
And they were singing
Back to back, ghoul, belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn 'cause I'm stone dead already
Back to back, oh oh oh, belly to belly
It's a zombie jamboree
One female zombie she wouldn't behave
See how's she's dancing out of the grave
In one hand she's holding a quart of rum
The other hand is knocking a conga drum
You know the lead singer starts to make his rhyme
While the other zombie is rockin' in time
One bystander, he had this to say
"It was a trip to see the zombies break away"
Shah! And they were singing
Back to back, mon, belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn 'cause I'm stone dead already
Back to back, oh, belly to belly
It's a zombie jamboree
And they were singing
Back to back, mon, belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn 'cause I'm stone dead already
Oh, back to back, oh oh oh, belly to belly
It's a zombie jamboree
Hey hey, back to back, everyone we sing, back to back
And belly to belly then back to back
One two three four
Hey, what a zombie jamboree
From Times Square to the Statue of Liberty
Uptown, downtown zombie jamboree
Whoa whoa whoa, yeah yeah
There's a high-wire zombie 'tween the World Trades
A King Kong zombie on the Empire State
But the biggest zombies Tokyo to Rome
The zombies who call the city home
Hah, what they do, huh
Back to back, ghoul, belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn 'cause I'm stone dead already
Back to back, oh oh oh, belly to belly
It's a zombie jamboree
And they were singing
Back to back, mon, belly to belly
But I don't give a damn 'cause I'm stone dead already
Back to back, ha ha, belly to belly
It's a zombie jamboree
I need the chorus
Back to back, ghoul, belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn 'cause I'm stone dead already, yeah
Back to back, mon, belly to belly
It's a zombie jamboree
Back to back, hey
Back to back, mon, belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn 'cause I'm stone dead already
Back to back, ha, belly to belly
It's a zombie jamboree
Sing the chorus
Back to back, whoah, belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn 'cause I'm stone dead already
Back to back, ha ha, belly to belly
It's a zombie jamboree
Do the limbo
Back to back to back to back to belly
I don't give a damn 'cause I'm stone dead already
Back to back, mon, belly to belly
It's a zombie jamboree
One more time, yeah
Back to back, belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn 'cause I'm stone dead already, yeah
Back to back, mon, belly to belly
It's a zombie jamboree

stock up on food, barricade the door and then wait for them to either bloat and explode in the heat or freeze solid in the cold and then get back to normal life.

....in a zombie apocalypse?

Most of the U.S. is brain-dead.

So, I live in one now.

 

[neci]

i die real fast. all the online quizzes say so.

Since I'm in a northern state, I'll be waiting for them to freeze solid in the winter. Then survivors can come out with baseball bats and crowbars and cave in a bunch of zombie skulls. I'll save my 3,000 rounds of 9mm bullets for the spring and summer.

 

[ericalauren]

I’m not sure. Probably not long?

 

[Conager]

Indefinitely.

Well I don't want to get bit and become one. I better learn how to Run! I'm not wacking them or stabbing them in the head either.

Gotta go for the head.

Good culinary skills

Learn to cook zombie with perhaps a dry rub?

 

[Champakian]

Yeah, I have a lot of survival stuff stashed away.
There's lot of game around, so I have very little stored "meat."
I even have a lot of ponds close that can be fished and the river is not far off.

But zombies? Is that a code name for the "woke?"

 

[Chernosoth]

We're over a year into it. Zombies bought all the TP and hand sanitizer. Panic buying may resume as supply chains break and more shelves become empty. If food riots don't happen, we'll still have Black Friday.

 

[Chernosoth]

My husband bought those dinners that have a shelf life of 20 years.

I've seen those described as brick mortar. The preservatives are not easily digestible.

On the street, these are called Meals Ready to Eat. Tryharder already has a cupboard full of this kind of zombie food.

 

[oggbashan]

As King Og I have been dead for thousands of years.

I don't have a problem. Zombies can't kill me, coz I'm one of them...

 

[pecksniff]

But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: [then] came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace [be] unto you. Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust [it] into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Jesus saith unto him, BBRRRAAAAAAIIIINNNZZZZ!!!!! And there was much wailing, and gnashing of teeth, and spraying of bodily fluids.

hey...

....in a zombie apocalypse? My husband bought those dinners that have a shelf life of 20 years. I think he and I have enough for a month. I don't do well at hide and seek though, so I think I will be dead before I eat em all. I also think I don't want to eat crap for 30 days just to be eaten by zombies after. I've heard that people have saved twinkies for years and they have enough preservatives to last a very long time. That is what I'm going to stock up on. I may be eaten but at least my last meal would be a twinkie.

7 out 10 zombie quizzes have me as one of the last people standing.

I have always seen myself dying due to overwelming odds but then the odds been against me since before I was born... so, no big deal.

twinkies are the real zombies. i read about them never decaying so i decided to see for myself. i unwrapped one and put it on my kitchen windowsill. it sat there for 3 years. i keep all of my windows open during the summer so there are always bugs wandering around in my house. nothing ate the twinkie. flies never even landed on it. i had mice at the time, too, and they never nibbled it. it didn't even change color, sitting on a sunny sill. and, it stayed fairly soft. finally i threw it out but i bet somewhere in a landfill there is a vintage twinkie just waiting for future archaeologists to excavate it.

7 out 10 zombie quizzes . . .

Somehow, I am not surprised to learn those are a thing.

Only 3000 rounds ! Or did you mean of each caliber including 9 ?

 

[Sh1ne0n67]

Odd bump.

So far, I am surviving the zombies. I am unfortunately still looking forward to that first kill.

I thought that I was going to get that when I did not fill out my census form,
but nobody showed up. I guess one of my neighbors got their first kill instead.

Then again, maybe the IRS is smart enough not to send revenuers into these here hills
(or they just want to purposely undercount us for big city political control of Washington...).

the zombies...?
or the zombie quizzes???
