Suppose the walking dead attacked your house. Would you (a) defend yourself; (b) lock the door and dial 911; (c) write a Facebook post blaming the sequester; or (d) negotiate?
If you don’t know that the correct answer is (a), you won’t survive the zombie apocalypse.
When zombies attack, you’ll need your gun
You may not know this, but the Monroeville Mall — a filming spot for George A. Romero’s 1978 film “Dawn of the Dead.” Is still alive and kicking. Or undead and shambling more appropriately
Now Zombie Runs are the popular thing in the 5K world. All over the place you see these fun runs where particpants skedaddle away from the shambling dead. What is different about one in Athens Alabama is that it is being sponsored by the 1343rd Chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear defense (often abbreviated to CBRN defense or CBRN) company– the type of unit that would be on the front line of any zombie outbreak.
Members of the chemical brigade for a local Army National Guard unit want to show they are ready for a zombie apocalypse, even if they have to create one themselves.
Armand Larive Middle School had what is perhaps the greatest junior high social studies class ever: Zombie Survival Skills. But the killjoy parents and administrators put the kibosh on the post-apocalyptic class, feeling that undead studies were not appropriate for growing minds….http://io9.com/oregon-school-cancels-zombie-survival-classes-ensures-458591332
Poor poor kids…
Well, its Easter, and today, with everyone repeating “He is risen” It will be interesting to see what kind of reanimation of the formerly human vessel we are all use to we could see tomorrow.
I think tomorrow could be a very interesting day indeed. Beware of shamblers, the walking dead the undead, the living dead, the dead, the mobile deceased, shambling skinbags, stumblers, rotters, ghouls, risers, slackjaws, deadheads, the hungry horrors, RHCs (reanimated human cadavers) and….did I miss anything.
Oh yeah, zombies….
(If you see any tomorrow, be sure to let CNN know, and be sure to tweet #zombies if you come across any!)
Sleep well and be sure to have your SHTF plan rushed to completion before TEOTWAWKI. Zoe the Zed doesn’t care that you just need two more weeks to get ready…

WELCOME TO THE END OF THE WORLD!
Disease-K has decimated the world leaving its victims shambling homicidal maniacs. And nestled along the warm Gulf waters sits Gulf Shores…the last outpost of civilization. With looters and thieves preying on the shocked survivors, it’s up to the retirees and bank tellers, phone repairmen and charter-boat captains to put the town back together.
THE SHADOWS ARE GATHERING OUTSIDE OF TOWN!
There, in the sands and marshes of the Gulf of Mexico, the citizens of Gulf Shores along with scattered military units, a downed Air Force pilot, and a lone Coast Guard cutter form the last line of defense against the amassing horde of the infected marching its way toward the sea destroying what is left of humanity along the way.
As summer gives way to the fall and the cold winds blow off the sea, Gulf Shores draws the line and prepares to make the…

Good to see that the Canadian parliament has gone on record as saying that “Under the leadership of this Prime Minister, Canada will never become a safe haven for zombies, ever.” -Foreign Minister John Baird, House of Commons, Feb. 13, 2013.
The list of possible bug out locations on Z+1 just got longer…..
For sale in Pine River, Wisconsin through eBay Motors this week was a 1975 Land Rover Shoreland Series III Armored Patrol Car. With 19,000 miles on its inline 6-cylinder engine and garage stored for the past decade, it was pretty sweet for the collector of military vehicles or those who just want one heck of a camp truck/bug-out vehicle.
It went for $15,999 which was just over what I wanted to pay for it, but still, look at what you could have gotten.
From the descrioption
This is a Land Rover Series III Armoured Petrol Car. Land Rover through Shorts Brothers produced over 900 of these patrol cars. Mostly used for homeland security, airport security, border crossings, etc. This was not produced for military service, but as a security vehicle/armoured car, such as armored car that delivers money to the bank. There are perhaps 10 or so in America. They produced a number of variants, the last of which did not have the upper turret as it was deemed “a bit scary for the public”. Some of these were exported to other nations for airport security etc. and in fact are still in use around the world.
This Land Rover has a clear title and is registered as a collector vehicle and can travel public road anywhere. Insurance is cheap as in less than a couple hundred dollars per year from various insurance agencies that specialize in collector vehicles. Parts are 80% Land Rover and most electrical parts are Lucas and available ( such as similar vintage Jaguars, MG, MGB, Triumph, etc). The guns are dummy guns and can not be made to shoot. More info can be had at Shorelandsite.com as there is an active owners group world-wide. Also there is a great Yahoo group for the Land Rover Shoreland.
Features of the Land Rover Shoreland:
< Armored plate, 8.25mm up to 10mm depending on front or sides. Kevlar floor, armored window shield that can be lowered with bullet proof glass. Armoured side window plates, seat four people – two in the front, turret seat, radio operator. This vehicle as all radios, fume extractor build into the escape hatch behind gunner. Search light that follows the gun site either up or down. You put your forehead against the gun site prism and can see to aim dummy weapons., Turret operates quickly and efficiently with your foot movements. Top hatch has about 3 positions, you can open the back part and have a seat to sit on top with legs in, you can stand with hatch all the way open, or you can stand with hatch half-open and have an armored plate in front of you. Fuel tanks are in armoured back deck. Back deck can be stood on or in theory transport additional people while in transit (may not be legal in all states for people to ride on deck). Tires are run flat tires, in perfect shape with no weather checking. Tires are standard for many security vehicles and could, if needed be easily replaced.
” As this is a non military , security vehicle the armour-plate on this vehicle is made to withstand small arms fire. The engine is fully armoured, sides, top and the grill in front. In fact that grill in impervious to any radiator damage. This armour-plate will withstand a.308 NATO round at 50 meters”
Eh, maybe next time, left my $16K in my other pants….
PS BUY MORE COPIES OF Last Stand on Zombie Island ! (Lol)
No really, I need armored car money.
Austin is a pretty cool place. Back when I worked as a tech trainer for a large telecom company I did training there a few times and just really loved it. 6th Street during SXSW is an experience.
So it doesn’t surprise me that someone found, the day after Ben Franklin’s birthday, a cake decorated with a Zombie Ben left on their porch.
In Austin they sell shirts that say, “Keep Austin weird” and they mean it.
