This is why quarantine is a GOOD thing

Looks like the Zombie invasion has been confined to the US and Europe, at least for the time being.

I suspect this is because no self-respecting zombie wants to spend that much time on a plane. It's bad enough when you are alive, I can't imagine what it's like when rigour mortis starts to set in.

If they ever do make it to Australia, I'm not that worried - it's hard to lurch at a decent speed when your body is contorted like a right-angled pretzel. I certainly doubt they could manage the stairs to my apartment.

Still. Perhaps I'll go out and hunt up Shaun of the Dead Zombie killing instructions, just in case. Better safe than sorry, after all.

confused? And yeah, we're a little bit behind in Australia...

Yeah, I freaked out a little bit earlier thinking there were zombies coming, but it was just rowdy college drunks. Thank goodness for living in Australia!

Stay safe!!!

We had about 30 students dressed up in zombie gear a few weeks ago on campus to protest...something. The important thing is that we had zombies.

Uh-oh, and this is without having won the infinite rocket launcher in Resident Evil 4. Curses!

hee :-) i think according to the shaun of the dead manual you need to decapitate them. i didn't notice any in north london yesterday, but then i'm the one that most resembles a zombie in my neighbourhood at the moment. it's a good thing no one tried to chop my head off when i went out to the shops. actually, funny enough i'm living in crouch end at the moment, which is where shaun of the dead was set. so i'm doubly lucky.

Oh, yeah, *you* don't have zombies. Well, don't get too comfy- right angled pretzels or not, you have any *idea* how hungry they'll be after flying all the way to Australia with nothing but airplane food and a few flight crew?

This morning, the highway was littered with them, clutching their mocha cappuchinos, and talking on their cellphones..wait, that was the commuters. The zombies were the ones lurching along the side of the road grasping futilely at bumpers.. Actually the drivers around Boston seemed to relish the challenge and honors were about even.

But once I got into work, it was rough. Currently there are several clawing at the employee entrance. The ones that tried to assault the lobby were given employment applications to fill out, though, which seems to have stymied them for the moment. (They're having trouble with the 'prior experience' section.)

Gyah, thank you, for supplying the link so now I know why the hell zombies are running rampant on my flist.

It's probably a good thing that I missed this... I really didn't need to get distracted with zombie fantasies overtaking the uni two days ago. If uni did get infested, where do you think would be the best place to hole up?

Maybe it's time to buy a chainsaw.

Luckily for us all such catastrophes tend to start in America. They're a catastrophe magnet for evil and devastation, methinks.
