Once again, I am out of town for a convention so no guitars today. Instead, I'd like all of you to mention in comments the ONE item that you feel is essential during the Zombie Apocalypse that isn't a bladed/blunt weapon or a firearm.
Oh, and if you're in San Francisco this weekend attending Wondercon, stop by booth 619 and say hi.
Good running shoes.
ReplyDeleteMatches or lighter
ReplyDelete(It should be added that I was sitting a couple of feet from Mike as he posted that blog entry, which is why I was able to be the first to post. And say hi to me at booth 619 after you say hi to him.....)
ReplyDeleteLawnmower.
ReplyDeleteCanteen or thermos, ideally with a place to hold some homemade charcoal for filtration.
ReplyDeleteReliable solar-powered vehicle, preferably all-terrain.
ReplyDeleteKindle.
ReplyDeleteBarbecue sauce. Spray it over the people around you and run like frak.
ReplyDelete@TheMindFantastic, in exchange for unshakable sanity you could bring psychopathy. ;)
ReplyDeleteWater purifier, surely?
ReplyDeleteModafinil / Provigil. They're gonna come through while you're sleeping. So don't.
ReplyDeleteExpendable friends. Preferably expendable friends who can't run as fast as you can.
ReplyDeleteAntibiotics.
ReplyDeleteFlame-thrower.
ReplyDelete(If that counts as a firearm, then I choose "Seanan McGuire")
Hostess Fruit Pies and other assorted snack cakes! As comic ads have repeatedly shown us over the years, you can always defeat any hostile group by distributing delicious Hostess snack cakes.

No zombie can resist them.
Couple good things mentioned already, so I'll go with shortwave radio transceiver.
ReplyDeleteDamn you, PCat. I'm going to be thinking about those old ads for the rest of the day, now! :)

ReplyDeleteSummer Glau.
ReplyDeleteA padlock.
ReplyDeleteNarcotics are always a treat.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the Zombie Apocalypse with MDMA!
Stiletto go-go boots. With glitter.
ReplyDeleteElectronic Thumb. Because really, in the event of a zombie apocalypse, what I want is a way to hitch a ride off-planet.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't going to post anything, but the verification word was "bother." I just couldn't resist.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, make mine the Medusa 47 multi-caliber revolver. It's manufactured by the lesser known Phillips & Rodgers and has the near unique ability (Colt also makes a multi-caliber gun) to chamber, fire, and extract 25 different cartridges in the .38/9mm/.357 ammo range. Having a gun is pretty handy in just about any post-apocalyptic scenario, but without the right ammunition, it's really just a very small, unwieldy club.
Oh... and a boat... a big, well-stocked boat. Probably be the first thing I'd "buy" with my Medusa 47.
A good welding torch so I could weld protective metal plates and grills onto my vehicle, home or self. Not directly onto myself of course. Just in case that wasn't obvious.
ReplyDeleteA towel.
ReplyDeleteBite-proof mesh singlet and gloves.
ReplyDeletea L4D pipebomb
ReplyDeleteMountain bike.
ReplyDeleteSimple but effective.
Chum.
ReplyDeleteBruce Campbell. Preferably circa 1985.
ReplyDeleteLots and lots of pet carrion beetles.
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming once the decaying flesh is stripped from the zombie, he's no longer mobile. Perhaps a big assumption.
tea kettle. boiled water only for the apocolypse.
ReplyDeleteA backpack with a solar panel charger. Storage for whatever else I can scrounge and a way to charge up whatever gizmos I find useful.
ReplyDeleteCan't make it to Wondercon, but I just read that Leverage is moving production to Portland in the spring. Welcome to the Pacific Northwest! I look forward to seeing you guys around town, hopefully not blowing up too much stuff.
ReplyDeleteSorry, just realized after posting that last comment that this was one of Michael's posts. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteWell, I was initially thinking "The Zombie Survival Guide" from Max Brooks. But then, I read the comment from Wrongshore of a Kindle. Well, a Kindle itself isn't much use without WhisperNet, but Kindle loaded with Survival books, maps, cheap romance novels, and the complete works of, well, anyone you can find, would be grand. The Only problem with be power. The Kindle doesn't use much power, so a solar trickle charger would actually work.
ReplyDeleteBut, then, I realized, I only get ONE item. So, I started thinking outside my box:
• Ring of Sustenance. (2 hours of sleep a day, no need to eat or drink)
• A Really Good Zombie Costume.
• The USS Enterprise (Nuclear Aircraft Carrier or Starship, either one works for me)
• Project INDIGO (from Doctor Who Season 4 finale)
• Well of Many Worlds
• A Timer (From SLIDERS)
• A Road Atlas
Of those things, most of them are imaginary, and one is fairly impractical in suburban Denver, so I'd have to go with A Road Atlas.
I'm going to tier my answer thus:
ReplyDelete1. Imaginary: a tardis
2. Impossible: one of the upcoming DARPA-developed supersuits for the U.S. military, which has robotic arm and leg extensions, impenetrable smart skin, and first generation cloaking technology.
3. Improbable: Some kind of bite-proof suit, of whatever material.
4. Accessible, if I have the time to look/construct: ghillie suit. Like most folks, I live in the middle of an urban area. I can't outrun or outfight the hordes, so stealth is really the best option. I'm assuming zombies don't stalk by smell.
5. What I actually have laying around: uh, BESIDES weaponry? Yeah, I second "unshakable sanity".
What is WRONG with all you people?
ReplyDeleteJack Daniels, of course!
The damn Zombies are gonna win, because every person they kill swells their ranks. Might as well just get drunk and enjoy the pre-apocalypse orgies....
Drat. Someone else already took Summer Glau.
ReplyDeleteYeah I'm not so convinced Summer Glau would be much of a help. River Tam on the other hand...
ReplyDeleteJetpack.
ReplyDeleteIn my view everyone must browse on this.
ReplyDeleteIt can't truly have effect, I think this way.
