Youtube it up: May 21st has been marked as the rapture and it is also the day I was born 27 years ago...years ago I would have been scared but now THIS is my reaction:

 

:D:D:D

 

I apologize for those that believe this will happen but it was on my mind and I had to get it off my chest at the craziness of it all. From being in the Iraq war and traveling to different corners of the globe and viewing different religions and cultures I had come a point in my life where I say I believe in all paths to God and all that junk but rapture on my birthday? Not gonna happen. Sorry.

 

End of rant/tirade.

I got like two pamphlets on this crap. They used a bunch of low-key explanations where you have to add this and that and it equals that and you have to subtract 7000 years or whatever with the result and-- bleh.

 

The Bible itself says we're not supposed to predict the end of the world anyway. So they're doing a good job of contradicting themselves by making a memo round the world about it. Wish those people would just give up.

In the grand scheme of things, at least it would be a really exciting end of the world.

 

Second only to zombie apocalypse.

 

And maybe aliens.

 

Depending on how fun they are to fight.

 

Like...War of the Worlds aliens? Not fun. But Alien aliens, where you get to hose them down with machine gun fire? Pretty boss dooms day.

 

 

Dude, you're totally forgetting the nuclear winter apocalypse. Fallout, Mad Max... who doesn't want to wander a barren wasteland fighting mutants and raiders (and mutant raiders), often times with awesome civilian vehicles modified with various pieces of scavenged materials to turn them into tools of war. Personally, I'll take that over the aliens. Not so much the zombies, though, can't beat the zombie apocalypse.

There's a K-Mart near where I live that's the best possible anti-zombie citadel you could imagine. It's pretty much inaccessible except for 2 ramps. It's right off of a highway too. Big parking lot.

 

It makes it easy for rescue to show up (if it exists), but zombies can be kept out reasonably well.

I love you.

 

I've thought a lot about it too. My friend has diagrams on graph paper and everything.

 

There's also an old movie theater on the same random raised platform, so if they have old film reels in there, we can make bombs/fuses. Pro tip: Old film (that, at this point, has probably dissolved into vinegar, actually), burns. Fast. Ever see Inglourious Basterds?

 

Plus, I imagine there's fertilizer in the gardening department that can be used for explosives. I don't know how to make a fertilizer bomb, but we'll have to hope I can find a 4G phone that still has service as I snowmobile over the dead while flailing a machete on my way to the compound...

 

I'm not sure if KMart still sells firearms. I just googled it and everything that comes up is from, like, 2001. Man, they are not a healthy company... They should look into just converting their stores into emergency zombie bunkers and cut out the as-the-crisis-is-happening improvisation. Society would appreciate it.

 

I imagine the same people who still shop at KMart are the "We're all going to die, go buy all the milk and 2 shotguns, Bob" types anyway... :p

Zombies =/= need for guns.

 

Ammo is limited.

 

However KMart does have a sporting section.

 

I'll take me 30 aluminum bats and enough protective gear to handle a direct mortar hit.

Nah, K-Mart's fine. They just got left behind and blindsided by the growth of Target, the explosion in popularity of the warehouse store concept (which is essentially an expansion of their "Super", with better prices), and the dominance of Wal-Mart. Naw, what you need to do is find an easily defensible Target or Wal-Mart (K-Mart don't sell guns). Either that or a CostCo/BJ's/Sam's Club. Warehouse would be awesome with the sniper's perches available. :)

There's a WalMart within walking distance, but it's inset into the ground. Not very strategic. I can always stop by to grab any supplies that haven't already been looted.

Oh man, the number of times the world was supposed to end and then disappointingly didn't *shakes fist*

 

I reckon it's about time they got it right. I mean seriously, how much more of this crappy world are we supposed to put up with.

 

On zombie topic, my choice is to steal a well supplied boat. I've never seen zombies swim or have the presence of mind to operate vehicles so I might just float around until Remi has sniped them all.

Things to beware of: zombies can pile onto eachother in an "unliving ramp", which could give them further access. And, it would only be a temporary shelter. Eventually, the food would go bad and you'd be forced elsewhere.

 

 

This right here, meanwhile, is literally down the road from me: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_EU1pq6GZ8ps/SeL5sbhHXpI/AAAAAAAABIY/3uv_QtoKvso/s1600/Walls_Unit.jpg

 

Virtully impenetrable by zombies, room in the yard for agriculture... I'm five minutes away from a place it'd be possible to ride out the entirety of the zombie acopalypse.

If I were a zombie, that's the first place I'll go... Or perhaps I will time my turning into a zombie to happen, right after I get in.

If you've ever read the Walking Dead comics, you'd know how great a place a prison is to be...except for the prison cleanup required when you arrive. That, and it's a late-survival class area. If you show up too early, prisoners are still going to be there, most likely with no guards due to them not showing back up to work. It's going to wind up being a "give up one evil for another" type situation.

I'm gonna pass on saying where I'd hide out in the event of a Zombie Apocalypse, due to the possibility that some of you fine folks might end up being some of the zombies I'd be trying to hide from, (no offense).

 

I have no idea what a young zombie recollects...

 

but why chance it?

 

:cool:

1. If you're already a zombie, there's no way for you to get in.

 

2. Just for that, even if you're not a zombie I'm not letting you in. :p

Its K-mart. It already is bad. Naw, what we need a zeppelin! Soaring majestically in the sky, raining death down upon our problems!

 

 

 

We'll be safe, Darwin never said anything zombies evolving into undead killer-birds right?

I love how this thread went from "rapture on my birthday" to "how/where to survive a zombie apocalypse"! :D

 

Thats the way more internet threads should go. Take on a crazy concept, and make it fun. :p

 

Also, yeah, I'm just figuring I'll be one of the first Zombies. No point trying to figure out where to go, unless the zombies are all just walkers that you can out run on your knee's. At which point, wouldn't that be just the lamest most boring end of the world event?
