In reply to the discussion: Poll: What would you wear during the zombie apocalypse? [View all]NeoGreen
(4,033 posts)64. Other: I'd dig up my old SCA armor and likely wear it...
...for a day before the chaffing became too much.
Then I'd then ditch the armor and be reduced to deciding among the old standard Sword and Shield, Glaive or Katana.
I think Katana wins out as being the most nimble and light weight overall for those quick retreats from the swarm.
But similar to Warpy, I'm older and out of shape, compared to the 20-something competition, and would likely lose a foot race with any Fast Zombies or even some of the Fast Walkers.
Either way, I would go down swinging while trying and knock as many of those damn red-maga-hats to the ground as possible.
I'd do my best Gimili impression at Helms Deep: "Sixteen", "Seventeen", "Eighteen-ah"...
I wish I could end up sitting pretty on 43.

Outrunning a single zombie isn't the problem (sorry, zombie lit is my thang)

I was referring to the t-shirt that reads "I would push you in front of a zombie to save my cat"
