Atheists & Agnostics
Related: About this forumPoll: What would you wear during the zombie apocalypse?
We are discussing this on Facebook and I think I would raid an outfitter's for close fitting, durable athletic wear made from breathable synthetics. Jeans are heavy which is good for protection but cotton absorbs sweat and doesn't dry very fast. I would also make sure most of my arms and all of my legs were covered so my skin would be protected from scratches and bites.
*Yes I know there are more important things to discuss but we can chew gum and walk at the same time. A pleasant diversion can be cathartic.

(57,349 posts)I'm a long time contributor to this group and am among friends. I have it on good authority that the hosts don't mind pleasant diversions.
Feel free to hide this thread if it upsets you.

(12,285 posts)I'm not sure what zombies have to do with Atheists & Agnostics.
beam me up scottie
(57,349 posts)Buy since Zombie Jesus is a touchy subject I thought it would be more appropriate to put it here instead of in the religion forum.
Over the years we have discussed countless different subjects and shared personal thoughts and observations that have nothing to do with atheism in this group, in fact that's why most of us are so close and are friends outside of DU. Why on earth would I stop now?
* note to jury
Disclaimer: this is the atheist and agnostic group where we poke fun at religion. If Zombie Jesus offends you it's probably a good idea to avoid this group during Easter.

I'm asking as a host who's pretty particular about protecting the safe haven nature of A&A.

(18,312 posts)specifically since I believe I'm the only person on the planet who knows what Jazzy Jean Leggings are.
Heddi
(18,312 posts)although I say that. Maybe a sports bra, just to cut down on chafing and so I could run without bruising my face and knees

(57,349 posts)I would never wear another stupid underwire but I might decide to go with a sport bra to keep the girls in place when I run.

(57,349 posts)The best of both worlds. And I hate "jeggings" too.
Heddi
(18,312 posts)None of them look like jeans. They look like leggings. I have a pair that have mountains on them. Since I work from home (heh hehehehehehhhehehe) my work outfit has gone from PJ's (Scrubs) to, well, leggings and t-shirts. From one comfortable outfit to another ha ha haha! Also at least working from home means no bra and no shoes, either. I don't know which item of clothing I hate more: shoes or bras.

(57,349 posts)The shoes are the first thing to go when I get home, then the bra.

(18,219 posts)I bought a pair, and loved them so much I went back and bought three more---one in every jeans color they had. Then I dumped the "real" jeans in the charity pile.

(57,349 posts)(paraphrasing) I don't have to be able to outrun a zombie, I just have to be able to outrun you.
I saw a t-shirt that said "I would push you in front of a zombie to save my cat."

(22,340 posts)The problem is two-fold:
1. They never stop. All they have to wait until you can't go anymore. Kind of like persistent hunting.
2. Hordes are the problem. Which can usually be avoided if you are smart, but once you get more than a couple, you are likely in big trouble.
But, seriously, you're going to pull a Shane?
beam me up scottie
(57,349 posts)Pull a Shane? To save my cat? Absolutely!
Goblinmonger
(22,340 posts)And, truthfully, if it were either I die or I put a bullet in the knee of the random guy next to me so I can get away...blam blam motherfucker.

(57,349 posts)And yeah, unless I was with a loved one I would probably be pulling a lot of Shane.

(11,686 posts)You just need to remember to double tap.
beam me up scottie
(57,349 posts)But eventually we're going to run out of bullets, when that happens we'll have to use clubs, knives, swords, etc and constant exposure to blood spatter and gore can be hard on fabrics.
Doreen
(11,686 posts)Just make sure you double tape. Oh, enjoy the little things also.

(4,033 posts)...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.

(57,349 posts)There are plenty of other varieties of escapism but there's nothing like a good zombie apocalypse to get the creative juices flowing.

(50 posts)I would probably wear what I normally wear. Cargo pants. Matches? Got it. Multi tool? Got it. Knife? In the belt. Two way radio? Right leg pocket. More bullets? Yep. Map? Back pocket. Phone/video player containing zombie movies for training purposes? Left leg pocket. Space remaining for scavenging? Oh yeah.

(57,349 posts)A knapsack would just slow you down and if you were separated from the group you'd need the basics. I would add a water bottle with filter and/or purification tablets. And some rope. Oh and duct tape.
