1. I'd have to go with the city.
I live in TX so I see zombies (of the repug kind) every day.

32. Is Fort Bliss around there?
I was there for, oh, eight lovely weeks once. I was the zombie then though.

Edited on Wed Jun-20-07 04:45 PM by A-Schwarzenegger

9. No, they wouldnt. Not if you took them with you.
Their way is paid by anonymous donor, they have their own rooms. But you have to spend at least two hours a day with them out and about. I think it would be interesting to see London with a zombie, but it's up to you.

19. My attitude is warped because of "Night of the Living Dead"
George Romero did a great disservice to zombies.

23. He certainly did.
A lot of those movie zombies are my cousins. (Seriously, they were paid $5 each to 'act weird' which was mainly the norm for them) Real zombies are much brighter.

20. It's a misconception that zombies cannot get excited.
Take a zombie to the Grand Canyon sometime. Put a blindfold on him and walk him to the edge and then take the blindfold off. You will have one excited zombie on your hands.

17. What's with the anti-zombie attitudes around here?
I'm thinking of offering a round the world tour but you have to take a zombie couple with you. They wont try to eat anybody, their way is paid, they have separate rooms. You just have to walk around with them for two hours every day and not act like you don't know them. I'm surprised at the prejudices being demonstrated.

24. The OP is being revised inthread.
I perfer not to edit the OP or the title, so as not to confuse people or others who already answered, or people or others who are answering, or others. At first it was merely a anthropological question, but now it is evolved into a socio-anthropological one, due to attitudinal revelations.

26. An arm and a half's length.
And they can't really even raise their arms at full-length.
OR you can take them with you on the trip, and then they have
pledged not to eat you or anybody else's brains for the duration
of the trip.

28. Imagine strolling Copenhagen Boulevard at sunset, arm-in-arm with a zombie.
Steetlights flickering on, Danish floating in the air, admiring perhaps wistfully jealous glances from the international passer-byers...

30. But I've already been to

(insert name of the city here: my immediate instinct was to name Los Angeles, but a more true example from my own experience would be Indianapolis).

39. zombies not on my life list, easy choice here
i would go to the distant city

if the zombies had feathers and were rare, it might require a little more thought, but assuming they are rotten remnants of human beings and thus do not inflate my bird list by even one additional species...screw 'em, i'll see 'em on teevee
