this.... is officially my favorite thread on goodreads to date.

also... I'm torn.... should I watch the Zombie Strippers On Demand or spork myself repeatedly in the eye socket. I can't decide.

After putting down WWZ a few weeks ago, thinking I wouldn't bother finishing it, I have picked it up again and I'm so glad I did. There is a lot more great stuff in the last 1/4 of the book. I guess I just got burned out after reading most of it within a few days and not being able to get enough sleep at night due to creepiness factor. Reading this book is kind of like being slammed against a wall repeatedly and then left whimpering in a corner. I can hardly wait to claw my way through the last brutal tidbits of it.

Alfonso... the dog food is for my dog! I have a Golden Retriever and if the zombies come the cats can fend for themselves but I'm taking that doggie with me in the Hummer! And he sure as hell isn't eating my caviar.

Fredstrong, Cookie... baby come with me... you can share my weed and wield the short sword when things get hairy. Bring single malt and some Guinness, ok?

1) water bags and either iodine or a filter
2) hiking boots, Hinds polypro pants, wool socks, REI jacket, silk thermal wear, good hat, fingerless gloves
3) Hummer
4) Glock .40 automatic handgun and lots of ammo
5) Celtic combat sword
6) caviar, luna bars, oat cakes, dark chocolate, peanut butter, beef jerky, dog food, swiss army knife
7) sleeping bag & pad (if I'm gonna die I'm gonna die comfortable)
8) weatherproof matches & firestarter blocks
9) iPod
10) opiates, tequila, cigarettes, killer bud & rolling papers. It's the end of the world, why be sober?

That's super disappointing to hear Cookie. I have been looking forward to "I Am Legend". I'm still holding out hope... I'm pretty easily frightened. LOL

Woot! Cookie... that's totally the Jesus that I want to know. The Jesus who thinks gay smut written about him is funny.

Okay, maybe Beatrix Kiddo wouldn't kill Jack Sparrow... maybe she would make him her personal love slave and they would sail the seven seas making passionate monkey love all around the world ever after. Howzat?

Brendan, Alfonso says that hating him won't make you pretty. Apparently Alphonso wants you to be pretty for him. Now kiss and make up. : )

Well of *course* Jesus is all about the love, which is why he takes Judas from behind in the shower. Judas resists, but only to make it interesting. He's been waiting for this a long time. Egging Jesus on...

There's the beginning of your Jesus/Judas slash, Cookie. If you want more I'll write something really dirty and email it to you. I'm sure I have a couple of friends who would lick my toes for a whole Jesus/Judas in OZ fic. Good thing I'm a pagan, and already going straight to hell when I die. I'll be in good company there.

If Beatrix Kiddo was that easily distracted do you really think she could have performed the Five-Point-Palm Exploding Heart Technique on Bill, the love of her life? Johnny Depp in eyeliner *is* a very powerful weapon... however... Ms. Kiddo has been ninja trained to focus through pain, hunger, fatigue... and, yes, even eyeliner.

Cookie, okay, you have a point. But you never know. Jesus never went to prison at Oz. He could be pushed to the brink. I think an AU exists where Jesus gets all up in people's stuff in the shower. In fact, I'm going to write some fan fic where Jesus takes Judas from behind by surprise in the shower.

Beatrix Kiddo would so kick Capt. Jack Sparrow's narrow little booty. Puleeze.

Bunnies are evil incarnate. Did you know that their urine can eat through metal? Did you know that the Germans used rabbit urine as a biological warfare agent?

Or maybe midgets.

Fast Zombies are the SCARIEST THING EVER!!! 28 Days Later made me curl up in a fetal position and rock back and forth like an autistic person. But could I stop watching it? NO! I had to see how it ended so there wouldn't be fast zombies chasing me for the rest of my natural (or unnatural) life. Of course, it didn't help that then I went to go see 28 Weeks Later where they come back and it ends with them invading Paris through the Tube. Dude... I'm still certain Paris is crawling with Zombies.

Cookie: 100 points for "vienna sausages"

Brendan: 1000 points for "a pimp of zombies"

My daughter insists it's obviously a horde of zombies, duh, mom. But I agree with Natalie: plague of zombies seems most appropo.

I don't mind dead things that talk to me. As long as they aren't telling me to kill little children.

Yay! Beatrix Kiddo!!! She'd make mincemeat of those zombie hordes.

Alfonso... Brendan IS a big hater!!! He especially hates flamingos.

And Monica... you said it girl, Jesus IS the original zombie. Jesus will eat your brains given the chance. And dude, don't let him bite you, whatever you do. Also, don't drop the soap while you're in the shower. Just sayin.

Cookie: OMG I know your terror!!! Sometimes I think to myself... is this salmon bat hanging on my wall enough to protect me in the event a zombie should crash though the very thin front window pane leading to the front porch? At other times I have been known to say, while wandering through graveyards at dusk... who has the keys? I always hope the answer is ME! (ie not Johnny). Also, I am fairly certain that all woods, in the dark, are filled with zombies. Luckily, when you are outside, you can always run.

Hmm... either Conan the Barbarian or Highlander. Added bonus being... they are totally hot. : )

Fast zombies are totally way scarier than slow ones. 28 Days Later scared the bloody hell out of me. I thought it was a great film though. And yeah, WWZ was written very realistically. It was one of the best things about it. So much detail. Very impressive.

So... I'm reading "World War Z" and I can't sleep at night when I'm done reading. The last time a book creeped me out this bad was reading "The Excorcist". This is the second night in a row I am awake and worried that Zombies will come crashing in through my back door, covered in sea weed. It has reminded me of how, growing up, I spent my entire childhood terrified of Zombies. The reason for this was that at the age of six I watched "Night of the Living Dead" with the older kids in the commune where we lived... but only HALF of it... so for the rest of my childhood there were Zombies roaming the woods, just waiting for night to come out and eat my brains.

I'm all grown up now, okay? And I've spent nights alone in the wilderness with only a tarp, a swiss army knife, and a hiking boot to defend myself from bears, lightning, and wolverines (okay, so there are no wolverines left in the Sierra's, but you get the point). Why on earth do Zombies still scare the living daylights out of me??

Does anyone else in this community share this deeply primal, irrational fear of Zombies?
