Many homes are equipped with simple protective devices such as first aid kits, fire extinguishers and blankets, perhaps firearms for home defence.
But it is received wisdom that, whenever the Undead are on the loose in large numbers, no-one is prepared, resulting in a lot of running about, screaming, and gore.
Now, BorgCo can offer the foreward-thinking householder a real alternative to dying a grisly death, or worse, not dying. Simply send off for your Undead Home Proetction Kit, which will be delivered to your door by courier within 48 hours.
The kit is a sturdy brightly-colured plastic box, about the size of a large suitcase. It is clearly marked with luminescent panels to allow it to be located quicly during the inevitable power cut/lightning storm/meteorite shower.
On breaking the seal, and opening the lid, a further luminescent marker shows the location of a push-button on-switch for the internal light. Turning on the light allows a clear view of the contents:
On top is a plastic folder containing diagrammatic and large-print instructions in the language of choice. Underneath this are a number of pictographically-labelled compartments, to be opened depending on the nature of the threat.
For example, lift the lid with the picture of the wolf on it. Beneath, you will find a .38 special hammerless Smith and Wesson snub-nose revolver, preloaded, and 50 rounds of silver-jacketed soft-nosed ammuntion. Beside it is a cartridge-loading water pisto/hypodermic injector, CO2 bulbs, and half a dozen vials of Wolfsbane solution.
Under the bat symbol is a pack of vacuum-packed garlic, half a dozen stakes, a mallet, and another pistol/hypodermic; but this time, the vials are filled with Holy Water.
Under the Zombie symbol, there is a variety of Carribean herbs and spices, a cricket bat, a small chainsaw, and a can of premixed 2-stroke fuel.
Look under the Mummy flap, and this time the pressure gun is a minature flamethrower, along with a pair of toughened steel wirecutters (The trick is to sneak up behind the mummy and cut the safety pins holding the bandages. Once they start to unravel, mummies tend to trip over their own feet, and are easy to despatch).
In the centre is a lid marked "?" containing generic items: A selction of crucifixes and other religious symbols, a variety of taboo foods (in case of Muslim, Hindu or Jewish vampires), a bell, book and candle,. a selection of holy books from all the major religions, a video camera, latex gloves, a flashlight and batteries, distress flares, and contact details for a number of legal practices specialising in mental health cases, because local law enforcement are NEVER going to believe you ......-- 8th of 7, Nov 06 2008 zombie survival kits http://images.googl...&btnG=Search+Images [Laughs Last, Nov 06 2008] Subchairian dwarf Ringsmoke[Zen Tom] introduction of the subchairian dwarf to HB.

Ah, you want the marine version; fully equipped for dealing with Monster Giant Squid, Ghost Ships, Great White Sharks, and Zombie Pirates.
If you buy the Home and Boat kits at the same time, you get a discount.
Don't worry, [lurch], there is a roll of duct tape in the "miscelaneous" section.-- 8th of 7, Nov 07 2008 Well actually duct tape could be very effective to immobilize them. Your classic Zombie is slow and plodding as in "Night of the Living Dead" (1968 not the 1990 color remake) so it would be very easy for a quick footed subchairian dwarf (link) to tape the legs of one or more of them together thus causing them to take a tumble. You then position yourself behind the fallen and watch the rest trip over them all pile up as they come after you. But watch your back.
However if you are dealing with a mutated faster Zombie then you have to resort to deception. You wrap the duct tape totally around your body and walk like the classic mummy as in "The Mummy" (1932 Boris Karloff not the 1999 Brendan Fraser remake) and the mutated Zombies will turn up their noses at you and breeze past.-- theGem, Nov 07 2008 //Look under the Mummy flap// Eeew!-- DrBob, Nov 07 2008 [zen_tom] recently bought a metre long 18th century British cavalry cutlass *just in case* there ever is a zombie apocalypse and he has nothing to repel them with from his flat.
Tell 'em [zen].-- theleopard, Nov 07 2008 Sounds like [zen tom] has his wits about him. Thus far my zombie survival kit is ridiculously unprepared, it includes a survival guide written by some SAS guy, a first aid kit and manual, a zombie survival guide (although frankly I think there are one or two things even this book doesn't consider), a bowling pin (in the absence of any worthwhile weapon) and various minor additions such as tape, string, torches etc.
You may want to consider that, especially in the case of zombie apocalypse, this suitcase will essentially be a beacon, bringing every corpse within 20 miles shuffling to your position, and that chainsaws aren't really your best bet in said apocalypse.
I'd also like to mention that //Under the bat symbol is//... the city of Gotham in distress.-- fridge duck, Nov 07 2008 [8th of 7], you need to get out more and meet "people". Yes, most of them will run away because you smell bad and your mother makes you dress funny, but keep at it. It's called "society" (apparently).

Oh, and [theleopard] it turns out that a wickedly sharpened, metre-long strip of tempered steel designed for wildly metering out indiscriminate death during a cavalry charge is actually more than a bit tricky to manoeuvre threateningly within the confines of my flat - either I need to find a smaller sword, or I'm going to have to get myself a bigger flat.-- zen_tom, Nov 10 2008 Shelagh, you're not wrong - a sabre it is - but a cutlass would be much better for confined zombie stabbage.-- zen_tom, Nov 10 2008 // wickedly sharpened.... steel designed for .... death during a cavalry charge //
<Tucks thumbs in waistcoat pockets>
<Stares at [zen_tom] over gold-rimmed half-moon glasses>
<Clears throats>
A cavalry sword is, contrary to popular belief, NOT sharp. It is, however, very heavy.
Cavalry swords are intended to inflict blunt-force trauma (crushing) injuries. The momentum onf the horse and rider, combined with the heavy, curved blade, causes major fractures in the upper skeleton, principally arms, ribs, collarbone and skull. Such injuries to not have to be fatal to be sufficent to remove the target from the battle as an effective.
Sharp swords, which would cut through clothing and tissue, have a tendency to "lock" when they cut deep into major bones. The result is that the cavalryman suddenly finds the additional mass of his target literally attached to his sword. He must either then (a) release his grip on the sword, disarming himself, or (b) risk being unhorsed, with his primary weapon disabled.

// A cutlass at close quarters //
Most edged weapons are fearsome at close quarters; their major problem is that they are ONLY fearsome at close quarters. Unless you are a highly skilled practitioner, even knives and throwing spears have relatively short effective ranges.

I imagine that sometimes it's fun to walk around eating live brains. You know, there are descent hardworking people who become zombies too, so why should they have to suffer from borg attack just because you're selfish and want to keep your little basketball shaped brain to yourself? Geeze, it's like nobody even cares about what zombies want, it's like they're treated as second class citizens just because they have cannabalistic tendencies. Somebody should definantly call the ACLU about this zombie discrimination.-- quantum_flux, Nov 13 2008 // second class citizens //

Oh yes, and we'll put a mirror in the box, too.-- 8th of 7, Nov 13 2008 Well, you need to share your brain with the undead people who don't have brains. It's called hellfare, I'm bringing you into the 21st century kicking and screaming if I have to. You really only need 10% of your brain anyway, it would be immoral to use 11%+ of your brainpower since everybody needs to succeed.-- quantum_flux, Nov 13 2008 //You really only need 10% of your brain anyway// <klaxon noise> "Urban myth statistic alert!

Crap, I didn't realize there were real life zombies when I said that thing about the ACLU and hellfare, 8th_of_7 you got to believe me on that one. I'm moving to Australia if the USA ends up passing hellfare legislation with Obama in office these next 4-8 years.-- quantum_flux, Nov 14 2008 Unabubba, Australia has wildlife for me to look at. If both governments have nationalized Hellfare (eating of brains), then it doesn't make a difference other than the scenery where I live, wouldn't mind living in a Communist country even if it has good scenery (and they all have expensive government funded park type scenery and expensive architecture buildings/public transportation....FDR stuff, really).-- quantum_flux, Nov 15 2008 // Australia has wildlife for me to look at. //
It certainly does. However, you should consider that the wildlife in Austrailia will not onl;y look back, but then make sustained and determined efforts to bite, poison, or other wise dismemeber andf consume you.
Blue Ringed Octopus, Pacific Sea Snake, Funnel web spider, Great White shark, Stonefish, Crocodile (salt water), Crocodile (brackish water), Crocodile (fresh water), Crocodile (swimming pool) (VERY unlucky), ... and many, many others ......-- 8th of 7, Nov 15 2008 // Redbacks are less so //
That's so reasurring, to know that even though they're all over the place, lurking under beds, verandas. and dunny seats, their bite is not actually lethal, just very very painful and unpleasant.-- 8th of 7, Nov 15 2008 So, why did you ever leave your job with the Australian Tourist Commission ?-- 8th of 7, Nov 15 2008 "Australia: More Than Just A Country, A Cruel Prank On Entomophobes As Well !"-- 8th of 7, Nov 16 2008 And next week on "Out back in the Outback" we will see an Australian Zombie who received 10% of a brain through Hellfire legislation battling a pack dingos.

It's not just the wildlife, you know. There's also the plants - in particular the stinging tree, and also "wait-a-while" <amongst others>. Whilst wait-a-while is really only a nuisance - a good tangle might end up in a few stiches from some good deep cuts - a hit from a stinging tree will bother you for months or years. The sillica spines contain a neurotoxin - so not only do the spines stay inside your flesh for a long time, they also slowly release poison. My grandfather worked in the logging industry and tells stories of loggers getting substantial exposure (say full frontal chest and face) and eventually going crazy from the pain - some were known to have committed suicide as the medicine at the time could not treat the recurring pain. A horse that walked through a thicket of stinging tree would generally have to be shot.
Lovely stuff, speakling from experience.
Lastly you didn't include box and irukandji jellyfish, possibly our two most.. successful killers.-- Custardguts, Nov 17 2008 This is all making staying here in the USA and fighting zombies sound all the more appealing to me. Has Australia ever thought about nuking itself to oblivion to kill all of its stupid wildlife and stinging trees? I know, how about a hydrogen bomb, that ought to get rid of the crazy wildlife there.-- quantum_flux, Nov 17 2008 Are any of these things good to eat?-- Mony a Mickle, Nov 17 2008 If you have a level 3 or above environment suit handy, I can personally recommend the fruit of the stinging tree.
Very sweet.
Crocodile too, is very tasty. It's an extremely lean, high protein meat that I really can't compare to anything else I've tried.-- Custardguts, Nov 17 2008 // you didn't include box and irukandji jellyfish //
It wasn't meant to be a comprehensive list, just an illustration; and we didn't include the plants because they don't actually come after you "with intent" - they just lurk, brimming over with malice and toxins and sharp edges.
// how about a hydrogen bomb //
The UK tried a few times, back in the 1950's, at Maralinga. No good .... the local bugs just lapped it up, just grew bigger, nastier, more tentacles .....

Erm, on the gun purchasing front, I've often wondered about the process...handing over the money(a), receiving the gun(b) and the ammunition(c), what's to stop anyone from using (b) +(c) to retrieve (a)?-- not_morrison_rm, Jun 09 2012 There are more of them behind the counter, with the vendor, than there are on your side of the counter, while you're standing there, shaking a few shells into your hand and trying to load them into your new, unfamiliar weapon.-- UnaBubba, Jun 09 2012 BTW, [8th]... this is a little self-referential, surely? Given that the Borg are already "undead" by definition.-- UnaBubba, Jun 09 2012 The biological components of the Borg Collective are very much alive, we'll have you know.-- 8th of 7, Jun 09 2012 Deader than Britain's empire, old boy.-- UnaBubba, Jun 09 2012 [nmrm], in the US it is illegal for a sporting goods or firearms retailer to sell both a firearm and ammunition in a single transaction, or directly after the purchase of either. At the very least, the purchaser of a firearm must physically leave and re-enter the store in order to purchase ammunition for it, and of course if the buyer brings the gun back in, the retailer is free to refuse their business. I imagine it is much the same in other countries (I'm pretty sure Canada has the very same laws, for instance).
Also, as previously mentioned, there are many other guns behind the counter. The ones you can see are not loaded. The one you _can't_ see is.-- Alterother, Jun 09 2012 In small towns where the vendor and purchaser are probably well known to one another (and indeed are probably related) this is probably more honoured in the breech than the observance …
Easier to just help yourself to weapons and ammunition from the gun rack of one of the several pickup trucks, parked with the windows down and the keys in the ignition along the kerb. Don't worry about the very large dog sprawled over the passenger seat. He's just a big old softie, really. Probably.
Compare and contrast this with the experience of standing in a queue at a bank counter in a small Austrian ski resort and realising that a man in the next queue paitently waiting to pay some money in has a high-velocity hunting rifle slung on his shoulder…-- 8th of 7, Jun 09 2012 [8th], have you personally attempted the act you just proposed? There's this thing about people who live in small towns; we look after each other...
Even if the dog is a big softie, you won't make it five steps before somebody says "Hey, Mister, what're ya doin' with ol' Hank's thutty-thutty?"
And then a particular brand of rural community hilarity ensues.-- Alterother, Jun 09 2012 //this is probably more honoured in the breech//
Ha, I get it!-- ytk, Jun 09 2012 Eventually ... this must be the slow class.
// a particular brand of rural-community hilarity ensues //
Actually, a particular brand of rural-community hospitality ensued.
Local approaches stranger staring enviously into pickup truck.
"Howdy !"
"Oh, good afternoon ! That isn't an <obscure, old and very rare/interesting firearm>, is it ?"
"Sure is !"
"WOW ! I've only ever seen pictures ... does it have the <obscure but interesting technical feature> ?"
"Sure does ! Wanna look ?"
"OOOOOH !"
Local, Visitor and local's huge, fearsome-looking but actually very friendly Dog repair to nearby watering hole to meet local's gun-loving mates.
Many hours later, bunch of amiable drunks stagger from bar, including Visitor who is now "Full Honourary Local", swearing eternal comradeship and exchanging names and addresses.-- 8th of 7, Jun 09 2012 I assume this happens, [8th], right before the big party on the riverbank, where the visitor is repeatedly invited to "Squeal like a pig, boy!"
Is that your experience of the typical interaction?-- UnaBubba, Jun 09 2012 No.
The Visitor is invited to consume even more beer, assist with the BBQ, and experiment with a number of interesting projectile weapons, while at the same time learning some new campfire songs.
Apparently the "Squeal like a pig, boy!" business is reserved for those contemptuously referred to as "City <spit> Folks".-- 8th of 7, Jun 09 2012 Yes, simply _admiring_ a local's firearm is liable to lead to a good time and quite a bit of rural hospitality, of which your description is remarkably apt. However, reaching in and touching the gun without permission, as first proposed, will have a decidedly different outcome.
As for the Deliverance scenario, we only do stuff like that upon request. It's not compulsory.
// "Full Honourary Local" //
It takes a bit more than that to acheive such exalted status. Just being deemed 'Good People' doesn't mean you're one of us. You're still 'From Away'. If you buy a piece of land, build a house, move here to live full-time, marry a local and raise a family, you'll be a 'Transplant', which is about as close as it gets to 'honorary local'. Your kids will probably be locals, if they're good kids.-- Alterother, Jun 09 2012 Aha! It is sometimes difficult in a country where owning a firearm is in the field of theoretical concepts to know what actually does happen. `
<..goes back to tinkering with wood-chipper with alternate silver blades/wooden stakes, the mechanism lubricated by a holy-water gel with an admixture of garlic..only loses one finger..>-- not_morrison_rm, Jun 09 2012 This idea is coming to life (pun intended) in the real world [link]. However, it is only a partial solution being proffered and I think that the Hornady Manufacturing Co. would be well served to engage [8th of 7] as a consultant(s).-- AusCan531, Jun 10 2012 [nmrm], mostly what happens is a lot of people own guns and don't do very much with them. The majority of gun owners go through less then one box of ammunition in a year. Some people never use them at all.
One very interesting thing about living in a 'gun culture' (which does not apply to all of the US and Canada, but definitely to places like the area where I live) is that I can walk around town with a loaded firearm and nobody bats an eyelash--even the high-tech military-fetishist assault rifles I build barely attract attention--but if I go down to the store with a sword on my belt people start to get very nervous.-- Alterother, Jun 10 2012 //people start to get very nervous//
You would probably get a similar reaction if you were to wear a 12in, hot pink, strap-on dildo tied to your belt, I would venture.-- UnaBubba, Jun 10 2012 I'll test your theory at the earliest opportunity.-- Alterother, Jun 10 2012 Film would be good.-- UnaBubba, Jun 10 2012 Adding to your collection, are you [UB]?-- AusCan531, Jun 10 2012 //Film would be good.
Please, please no film.-- not_morrison_rm, Jun 10 2012 Good for close-in work, certainly, with a 10mm gov't or .40 S&W as a back up (much as I love my 1911s, a double- stacked mag would be preferable in a zombie-rich environment). Further out, you'll want a scoped AR-15, SA80, or FN-FAL. One bullet, one brain.
Problem is, you're eventually going to run out of ammo. Then it's down to hatchet work. Don't get any on you.-- Alterother, Jun 10 2012 The results are in! Wandering around town with a 12in, hot pink, strap-on dildo tethered to my belt provoked absolutely no reaction whatsoever from the locals, but there was a goat that kept giving me a funny look.-- Alterother, Jun 12 2012 You need to do it during daylight areas.-- UnaBubba, Jun 12 2012 Okay, but folks are going to think it a bit odd, me going around in the daytime wearing naught but belt and boots, with a day-glo marital aid suspended from my frog. And I'm still a little worried about that goat...-- Alterother, Jun 12 2012 You only have to fuck one goat...-- UnaBubba, Jun 12 2012 //You only have to fuck one goat...//
That reminds me of a joke…
So this guy is in a bar in Scotland, sitting next to a burly red-haired man in a kilt. The Scotsman slams his drink down on the bar, turns to the guy, and says, “You see that stone bridge over the brook out back? I built that bridge, stone by stone, with my own two hands. That's why they call me MacGregor the Bridgebuilder.”-- ytk, Jun 12 2012 Ummm, I think that the same joke [UB] had in mind. I heard it about Con who was the Greek boatbuilder, vinter, winemaker etc.-- AusCan531, Jun 12 2012 But do they call me Luigi the bridgebuilder, I aska you?
