ZAAPS Yahoo Group

Postby Tensen01 » 11 Jul 2006, 22:57

ZAAPS, the Zombie Awareness and Preparedness Society is dedicated to making sure humanity survives the coming of the "infected", through discussion, advice and planning.

Don't get caught unprepared, get ZAAPed.

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/ZAAPS/

An idea spawned by my friend Dawn, who is, honest to god, scared of Zombies... Like, really. She has a plan for when they come and gives houses "Rediness" ratings(Sliding glass doors are bad) and everything...

And she really dug your Homo Mortuis vid... though she's wary of you all now. quote:

"I watched the homo mortuus bit, that was pretty fun. The end was hilarious, yet frightfully deceptive. It's obvious now that the Loading Ready Run 'Team' is in league with the zombies. Now the question is Why?"

anyways, thought you might dig it, nothing really there now, but I plan on putting up pictures of dfferent Zombie types and such, a few vid clips, links :)

EVen if you never comment, you should join.

So, what kind of Zombie is she afraid of? The voodoo zombie, or the bio-hazard "functioning mody with no circulartory system" zombie?

So I'm not the only sad person who does that! As far as I can see, the safest place for me to be when the Infection hits, is at work.
I wonder if I'd get paid overtime for battling the Zombie Hordes...?

I used to do tech support for a hospital. Not really the best place to be if there should suddenly be an outbreak of zombies.

Hospitals are the worst place to be in an outbreak. Cause thats where most outbreaks start.

Exactly. Good thing those computers in the morgue never broke while I was there because they weren't getting fixed on my shift.

Wraith, she's afaraid of ALL zombies, but fast ones especially, i.e. 28 Days Later.

She has a plan for when the day comes, but she won't tell any of us until that day because "What if you become a Zombie... you'll know my plan... and if we've learned anything there's always one zombie who remembers..."

That's why I always keep my trusty pet shark, Sharky around...just in case of zombie attacks.

Prepping for Zombies seems silly to me. Oh, not because they're fictional, just because it doesn't seem efficient. I say, plan for a post-apocyliptic situation where living people, particularly mobs of people, want your vital stuff.

In other words, train, learn how to fight, and most importantly, know how to defend whatever you call home. The great thing about zombies is that they don't have the same verocity or specialized powers like Werewolves or Vampires. If you an figure out a way to keep thinking human beings out, it shouldn't be too hard to adapt it to deal with Zombies.

The only rule is to focus more on the head. Fun fact: 90% of Zombie-related deaths are entirely avoidable, and caused mainly by panic and stupidity.

I'm afraid that's all the real deal Graham. The movie was made in 1979, so CG was barely a twinkle in ILM's eye. Plus, I think those crazy italians just really wanted some dude to fight a shark...dressed as a zombie. What can I say, I really appreciate their dedication to...uh...realism.

Wow, I totally don't remember that. Sounds like something Bill would say though. For shits and giggles.

Btw, was this person retarded?

No, but she was drunk as hell. So were you I guess.
I can't believe you don't remember that, we were giving her such a hard time for it.
It was the shot at the beginning, of the boat, she was convinced it was CG because it looked too good. And she would NOT believe otherwise.

Ok, I gotcha. I believe that was Casey with the "CG" remark. And at that point my drunkness was wearing off; I had a very unwell party guest to attend to.

In any case, she was hilarious!
