Bit The good thing about zombies - doesn't matter what caliber. Just double tap to the noggin. You could get by with a .22. I recommend this: A ruger with an integrated Gemtech suppressor (aka silencer). No need for earplugs. I have one with a screw-on suppressor. You just hear "click" .22 rounds are cheap. Also, get plenty of magazines.  If you want to get them from a distance, go AR15. They are easy to customize and can hold more rounds, but .223 is expensive by comparison to .22

I walk through zombie apocalypse every night in Time Square.
The trick is to have them filmed and then project that on one of those big screens on a building. Assuming that they have a cell phones with which they can take pictures (and they all do, trust me) you're clear for a good 5-10 minutes.
Taking crappy pictures of a moving picture of himself waving is a zombie's definition of fun. It's like cavemen when they first saw their reflexion in the water.

The only reason to fear a zombie apocalypse is if you're not intending to become a zombie yourself (assuming you're not one already).
My understanding is zombies have much better health care and pension plans than the rest of us, so I check the "Z" section of the classifieds every day.
I'm still working on my resume, but due to my almost complete lack of experience with being undead, I'm not quite sure how to word it.

but you're only allowed to apply for those positions if you have already declared yourself a Zombie on the last US Census. If you checked any other box you are not eligible for Zombie benefits.

Fortunately, the world's governments have been run completely by Zombies since the latter half of the 20th century. This, of course, led to a Zombie takeover of the entire Radio, Television, and Movie industries. They were going to take over print media as well, but decided it was irrelevant.
With most of the rest of the media world already ambling aimlessly in search of brains, they will probably come after musicians next.
I'm practicing my shuffling walk and my incessent groaning. I plan to survive by mimicry. Also, it doesn't appear that Zombies eat a great deal of becan, so I plan to live on that, too. Unless, of course, the pigs turn Zombie, but that's just common sense.

Dang! And I just knew the Census and the Zombie Apocalypse were related somehow!

Just amazed they didn't go nuts and wipe each other out. Now I have another reason I'd like to see it. On a side note...living in areas I have, I can relate and have seen the cavemen.

Strange thing...well, maybe not.... is that a number of governments around the world, including the good old USA, actually have a "Zombie Contingency" plan in place.
Saw this little tidbit on the news a few months back. I wonder what it is that they know about that they're not telling us.

I am in NYC a couple times a month. One of my offices is at 48th and 3rd. I usually stay at a small hotel on 50th/3rd - two blocks from my office. It is actually a great city - with out a doubt the greatest city in North America (Chi-town and LA don't hold a candle). But it is quite crowded and expensive and there are rats the size of a great dane in the city. But I love NYC. I think I have been multiple hundreds of times (2x/month for 20+ years - what is that - almost 500?). I only really know mid-town and the upper east. I am totally lost everywhere else. Though I did go to the meat packer's district about a year ago. Found a really great steak place down there. MMM.

In fact, I'm sort of a "tourist" myself here. We've been here since May, leaving in October and back next spring, and we're just so sad that we have to leave, even though we'll get to see cool places and all - we've totally fell for NYC. We're thinking of moving here permanently. At least for a couple of years. I come from a very small town - like, 11 000 people, including the nearby villages. I've lived in bigger cities since, but NY is on a different scale, of course, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I sincerely adore this place. And the people are just so cool (as long as you don't put them behind the wheel). And the other "tourists"... Well, of course, that is to be expected, so I take it all with a grain of salt. I mean, people are people, just not always conscious that the world goes on around them when they stall right in front of you, or bump into you because they're busy texting someone on their cell phone. No real hard feelings ever though. It's all part of the game.

We're in lower Manhattan, right on 42nd, a few corner from TS, so it'd be dumb for me to really complain - I couldn't really expect otherwise. East Village is definitely our favorite spot. We try and go there whenever we have a day off or 2. That's where we'll try to find a place to rent for next year. And it is indeed expensive - I sort of fell of my chair when I saw the same supplements I get at home for $16 selling for $65 at the nearby drugstore. But you eventually learn where to shop. There's always a little store somewhere selling whatever it is you're looking for at a decent price.

Tourism notes for anyone visiting NYC and attempting driving in the city:
1. Cabbies are allowed to do whatever they want. Let them.
2. If you are stopped at an intersection and the light goes green in front of you, an endless stream of pedestrians will continue to cross in front of you unless you start inching forward to show you mean business.
3. Do not be tempted to use the rightmost lane unless you are within ~100 ft of making a right turn. The rightmost lane in NYC is used for loading/unloading, not for driving.
4. If you are looking for an exit for a tunnel/bridge to NJ, follow someone with NJ plates. They are much more likely to know where they are going and how to get there this year than you do.
5. "Merging" is a test of manhood, not courtesy. But do consider point #1.
6. Never drive behind someone with plates other than NY/NJ/CT. They have no idea what they are doing or where they are going.
6. Enjoy the friendly honking coming from behind you.
In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

That's one I had to figure out when I first got here. Where I come from, honking is like, the last thing you do before stepping out of your car and invite the other guy out of his car for a knuckle sandwich. It's like throwing down your gloves in a hockey game - the last step before crossing the line into physical aggression. Here people just honk and honk and honk, sometimes for no apparent reason. Nevertheless, unlike back home, they do have respect for pedestrian - something they could teach to those crazy Quebecers.

Do they respect motorcycles?
I don't know why but I feel like my trip would be something like;
Fly in. Take a helicopter ride to get the layout.
Rent a limo/driver to cruise the sights while I enjoy the whatevers.
Take another chopper fly-by and then fly home.
Sound about right?

If I drove there I'd rent the oldest piece of junk truck I could find.
Horse cop! I'd pull over too. Did ya hit a delivery boy on a bike that hit a pedestrian that got knocked out in front of a motorcycle that clipped a few cars?

Before you leave see Central Park; (I miss that place)
Also take a ride over the Brooklyn Bridge heading toward Manhatten; Awesome view.
Lastly: grab a slice of pizza. (doesn't matter where) :)

Oh I'd have to see the park no doubt.
And I love bridges...I just finished taking a ride on my Harley to Vicksburg and went over the Mississippi. Spent hours low speed cruisin' throught the memorial (Civil War).
I could have spent a few hours just back and forth over the bridge.
I've never seen anybody really make a pizza. Weird huh? Man, all these years and never seen them like on tv in NY hand make a pizza...geeze, I gotta get out more.
Well when I do get out I think I'm headin' northeast. I'll tell the driver to cruise the bridge, stop for pizza and eat it in the park. :) Love it.
