Has it begun?
Just in case, I'm getting a crossbow next weekend.
Maybe i should have stepdad teach me to shoot.

Get a shotgun. Saw it off. No aiming necessary! (so says "Lock Stock and 2 smoking barrels")

You people are so fucked. I've already prepared by buying a bunch of Sarah Palin t-shirts and bumper stickers. The zombies will leave me alone. Oh and crossbows, shotguns, and other weapons require reloading of ammo which will run out faster than you think.
Don't know if it has begun, but it's gonna begin just like this.
You guys are so behind the time. I've been feasting on brains since early last year!
Slow zombies won't stand a chance against moderately prepared people. We're screwed if they're the fast, jumpy type of zombies.

May be embarrassing, but I confess to being totally unprepared for a zombie apocalypse, slow or fast.
But hat's off to you if you are!

Yeah, ever watch Shaun of the Dead? I'll be Shaun when he's going to the store totally oblivious to the carnage around him and probably get eaten when I bend down to pick up the morning paper.

The advantage that bows have over other forms of projectile weaponry is that the ammunition is easily made with pre-industrial tooling and supplies--not to mention potentially recoverable after use.

True. Also, they are much quieter. As much fun as it sounds to be blasting zombies left and right with a shotfun, all you are doing is announcing that a non-zombie is here, come and get it!

Gawker has the pics of both biter and bitee after the incident if you want to be grossed out.
Actually, it's the Land of the Dead zombies that scare me the most. You figure that even fast zombies are still mindless. Sure, I'm pretty much toast because they can run me down, but if I'm holed up inside my second floor apartment with the door blocked up I'm probably ok at least until the water or food runs out. If you get a zombie who figures out ladders though then I'm not so sure and god help me if you get a few zombies and a few ladders with some tactical planning to rush the front and back windows at the same time.

I prefer Fuzzy Navels while killing zombies with swords, but whatever keeps you going.

Exactly! That's why in the movies the slow ones were so much worse. One or two aren't a problem, it's their hundred friends that are the problem and once they surround the mall you're hosed.

Damn, that is a good idea. I guess because it's not really something you would think of first thing in the midst of the situation. Might be a good diversionary tactic though if you wanted supplies. Of course in Land of the Dead they use skyflowers (fireworks) to distract them but the effectiveness wanes quickly.

Which is why a decent sized (say 100' + on the waterline) ship is great for long-term survival. It's impossible to get into the ship from the water without somebody on the ship lowering down a ladder or a line.

Only problem with a ship is fuel. A cruise ship or something sounds awesome but everything is dependent on the engines running and that's going to be a bit of a problem.

One thing I don't get about The Walking Dead is if supposedly everyone still alive is already infected with the zombie disease then why do people who get bit by a zombie with a wound that shouldn't be life threatening end up dying from that wound?
I really feel that a good sharp katana or scimitar would really be useful for decapitating zombies. Mainly because it's a lot quieter. Zombies are attracted to sounds, y'know.

The thing I don't get about The Walking Dead is how those idiots managed to live so long. Oh and fuck Carl! If I tell a kid to stay inside and he doesn't screw timeout, let him find out what being zombie chow is like.

And funny enough, even as rootin tootin Texans, we've always talked about not being fighters during the zombie apoc. We actually have plans: generator, food water from the trucking distribution ports nearish to our house- not the stores, theyll be ransacked first. Most importantly though: booze. For entertainment and medical purposes.
Eventually the zombies will starve, no? Then we can come out, stretch, and start putting up flags on property. mine!

Again, fuel is your main problem. Unless you have a 10,000 gallon tank under your house for the generator it's going to give out a lot sooner than you think. It also will generate noise which seems to be a universal constant in all zombie movies in attracting the undead. Keep in mind your generator will be about the only thing running since power will be out within hours of the outbreak.

Well I don't know about anyone else, but if I'm a zombie I figure I am going to bite people just because I can.

You wouldn't want something as big as a cruise ship - too big a space to clear, too likely that somebody came onboard and died, and now wants to eat your face. Also, too many people needed to keep stuff functional-ish.
Take something small like the USN's 170 foot patrol boats, or a CG 110. Drop anchor at the mouth of a river, and just chill. Swap back and forth between the generators to keep the hours roughly even, and you could keep the lights on for about a year (provided there were some people on board with some mechanical aptitude).
Or if you really want to go big, grab one of the small oilers out of Craney Island. You'd run out of oil / fuel filters before you ran out of fuel. (But since there's a logistics base there as well, you could drop one of the small boats in the water to go find some more out of the warehouse after the zombie hoards all get stuck in the mud under the ship.)

Mybhusband answered the fuel problem, but now I can't remember. I don't think we are posting up at our house. He has a place. It's Texas. We have fuel.
Noise? We'll just turn it off real quick when they come knocking. We'll be like, "nobody's home! There's certainly not any cake!" and they'll get their feelings hurt and leave.

Maybe this is silly, but I thought one of the better ways to defend against a zombie attack (given more than ample time and resources to prepare) would be to have some sort of big grazing animal fenced in around one's compound. Something like cape buffalo or hippos, something that would stomp anything that comes near.

Not so much fridge as water pump. People always talk about starving to death, but you're much more likely to die of thirst, especially in a zombie siege situation because how much potable liquid do you have in your house once the electricity goes down? Here's a hint, your water is pumped to a water tower by electrical machinery. Turn off those machines and your water stops running a lot faster than you think.

Big animals eat big amounts of food. Also, they might just serve as a convenient food bar. Zombies don't feel pain or fear so that charging hippo doesn't scare them. Get a hundred zombies and that hippo eventually gets tired and falls down and then the zombies chow down.

Course, you understand that endgame is you then have to deal with zombified buffalo or hippos.
Remember Brian Keene had a zombified whale in something. Pretty cool.

Shit. I just realized the big flaw in my plan... it's been three years since me & the boys from the Auxiliary shop made up that Zombie Readiness Plan. Now there's only me & the native dude left in the area. That's not going to be enough to do the required maintenance work to keep the generators running for long, which means recruiting other people. And that's where the zombie apocalypse always goes bad.
Since I bought Dead Island on the Steam sale last week, I've learned all you need to defeat a zombie is a swift kick to knock them back, followed by a good smack to the head with whatever weapon I've modded sufficiently.
