night of the living dead

[mimesere]

...so, they are doing the Best of Kevin and Bean and talking about What To Do in Case of Zombiepocalypse and people were calling in about their zombie preparedness kits and how they carry machetes in their cars because they don't run out of bullets. It makes me happy! Because if other people do it, then I am *much* less of a freak.

Oh, fox1013, truly SoCal is the land of our people.

Zombie, oh zombie
why was death on vacation
on the day you died?

People are like, "oh my god, WHY DO PEOPLE GO OUT INTO A ZOMBIE MOB WEARING SHORT SLEEVED SHIRTS? WEAR AN OVERCOAT OR SOMETHING!" and I'm laughing and laughing and laughing. Because it's SO TRUE.

Ray makes fun of him a little for it, but only a little, and even so, Gerard makes him learn to wield a machete properly. And Ray's all, "Gerard, I really don't believe in the zombiepocalypse."

Gerard looks at him very seriously and says, "But Ray, the zombiepocalypse believes in *you*."

And Bob, of all fucking people, says, "It doesn't hurt to be prepared."

Ray feels betrayed by this, because Bob is supposed to be one of the practical ones! But Frankie is swinging a machete around with more enthusiasm than control and Bob is watching him with a concerned look on his face.

"Zombies, guys? Really?" says Ray.

"You never know," says Gerard. "Plus decapitation will take out vampires."

"Decapitation will take out anything," Ray points out.

Gerard shrugs. "It's practical, then." And Ray gives him a look that says, "Did you just use the word practical in combination with preparing for the zombiepocalypse and vampires?"

After a moment, Matt says thoughtfully, "It won't help with a hydra."

"Ooh, good point," says Gerard.

Ray thinks he might be in a band of crazy people. "What the *hell*, you guys?"

"Decapitation will just make those fuckers worse," Matt says.

Ray picks up one of the machetes and takes a practice swing with it. "I hate you all so much."

"I think fire works on a hydra," Gerard tells Matt.

"No fire," says Bob firmly. "We'll find a different way."

OMG. IT'S A VERY GOOD THING THERE IS NO ONE ELSE IN THE OFFICE TODAY BECAUSE I JUST LAUGHED SO HARD I THINK I BROKE A RIB.

THANK YOU.

GO MATT!

I think there should totally be a bandom zombiepocalypse. Largely because I find the mental image of all the bands fighting zombies to be wildly entertaining. 'cause of how there are zombies.

[prettykitty-aya.livejournal.com]

well, yeah.

*snerk* Zombies.

The ridiculous thing is, Andy objects to zombies on *principle*.

"They eat people!" he says when Joe points out the conflict in being Mr. Gentle Anarchist Guy while also being Mr. Oh Hey, Look! A Flamethrower! Guy. "For fuck's sake, I'm not okay with eating *bacon*. What made you think I'd be okay with eating people?"

LOL! I love this snippet oh so much. I really need to get together a Zombieapocalypse kit myself and you're right, Gerard would so have one!

"I think fire works on a hydra," Gerard tells Matt.

"No fire," says Bob firmly. "We'll find a different way."

I love this 'cause I basically screamed 'No! Don't give Gerard fire!' when he said that and at the response my whole body was like 'Thank you for thinking Bob.'

I think in general, Bob should just veto anything with fire. Because seriously. FIRE.

*giggles* So, we're slightly less crazy than we thought? This is awesome news.

Isn't it, though? I feel much better knowing that other people are also preparing for the zombie hordes!

(omg, my rock star girlfriend SINGS THE BLUES BECAUSE HE LOVES ME SO MUCH.)

Oh god, I loved this and I don't even read bandslash (well, this bandslash).

Well done, my friend. Well done.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Heeee. Well, there are (potential) zombies. They make everything better.

WHY DO PEOPLE GO OUT INTO A ZOMBIE MOB WEARING SHORT SLEEVED SHIRTS?

I've always thought a nice chain-mail/sharksuit would work well against zombies. . .

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

One of the people on the radio also mentioned a sharksuit.

Clearly, when the zombiepocalypse comes, So Cal will be totally okay.

So cute, and I love the last line. Poor Bob, no fire for him.

You tell 'em, Bob. Hee! This is adorable.
