I dream of the day when I see a pic on facebook that says "The weapon to your left is your zombie weapon. How *expletive deleted*ed are you"

And then i look to my left and see a rifle.

I saw that yesterday when I was sitting on a city metro bus. Everything to my left, right, front AND rear was bolted down...

Majory hosed.

Mind if we make that right? My left side is a printer and a wall. My right side has the good stuff.

I'd be kind of okay, there is a dead 1000va UPS to my left on my desk. I could bash something pretty good with that.

Solid wood tv tray. Yah... That will get me started.

I'm sitting in my office right now, and the only thing worth anything could be my all-metal thermos...

I have my oscilloscope probes. They're kinda pointy, if a bit short.

At first I thought I was screwed, but there's a pretty hefty side table with a glass top. That's a decent start.

I have a lava lamp here on the left side of my desk at work. I wonder if that could distract them as I made my escape.

There's a bucket of spare bronze spark-proof tools- large crescent wrenches, bung wrenches,and screw drivers. I'll manage better than ok.

K Frame · « **Reply #286 on:** April 01, 2015, 07:58:35 PM »

I'm screwed again...

There's an architect to my left. Holy hell I need to weaponize.

Cliffh · « **Reply #287 on:** April 01, 2015, 10:58:43 PM »

Throw the architect at them?

Best I've got is a pair of scissors. They'd at least let me get to the pistol on the right side, and the better stuff in the next room...

Blakenzy · « **Reply #288 on:** April 02, 2015, 05:43:49 PM »

I'm right handed, but to my left I see a wicker basket with receipts, misc. papers and a G26

SADShooter · « **Reply #289 on:** April 02, 2015, 06:11:27 PM »

13 Panasonic Toughbooks in the magazine.

Well, first chance I've had to watch the season finale. I think the Rick and Morgan reunion will be interesting, given Morgan was talking about how life is precious now, then saw Rick plug a guy five seconds after he laid eyes on him.

As for the "on the left" thing, the correct way to do it should be, "within arm's reach". On my left however, at this moment, the most likely weapon is a letter opener, which I guess gives me the seconds I'd need to get to the good stuff. Though since I just want to get the zombie out of my way to get to real zombie stopping stuff, maybe it would be better and safer to just throw the printer, also to my left, at it.

K Frame · « **Reply #291 on:** April 04, 2015, 01:41:43 PM »

"within arm's reach."

Fricking finally!

I've got a 9-shot Hi Standard Sentinel .22 in my desk with a box of Winchester ammo!

Bring it, bitches!

Point #1: If you're going to necro a thread, a zombie thread is about as appropriate as it gets.

Point #2: I dredged this thread up because I just finished marathon-watching half of season 4 and all of season 5 getting ready for season 6. I came here to see what ya'all thought of what I just watched.

Point #3: As to the quote. If you're looking for improvised weapons on a bus, look for fire extinguisher, chocks (especially if they have ropes on them) and wheelchair tie-down straps. The tie-down straps are most effective if the end that latches to the bus can be unhooked easily. Think "toaster in a towel". Bonus points for the emergency triangles. The bases are usually weighted quite nicely.

Unfortunately I'm going to miss tonight's premier. I'm dog sitting for friends, and they don't have A&E. I might be able to get it on my tablet, but I'm not 100% sure. If not, no biggie, as I'm recording it at home on the DVR.

It's on AMC....

AMC? Gremlin, Matador, or Pacer?

They made it a half hour longer to put more commercials in?

No, it was the commercials that made it a half hour longer.

So, what would have been a better way to handle the hoard?

I give them some leeway, because it appears the whole sound sensitivity thing in this case is integral to what's happening in the plot, and the writers wanted this to happen. I'm betting on the "W's".

Otherwise, given the constant reminder of how sensitive the walkers are to sound, they should have known the great risk they were taking regarding potentially creating a forest full of walkers. I don't know if we've had any concrete evidence about the scarcity or not of gasoline, diesel, and other flammables, but there was the potential of just lighting a bunch of them on fire if they were bunched up.

Obviously wouldn't get them all, and probably not even a majority, but it could have cut down on the number of mobile walkers they were luring out of the quarry. Also possibly a brick of .22 to put down a bunch of them (they would have had time while they were fortifying for the march and before the semi gave way).

Tactical thermonuclear bomb.
Yeah...I know....THEY DON'T HAVE ONE.
I don't think there IS a "better way." Anything they did involved an element of danger.

And ..what's-his-name? that got bit in the face at the end.

Anyone not see THAT coming?
