Zombies in the Mall

I got this meme from rhfay:

You are in a mall when the zombies attack. You have -


  1. one weapon.
  2. one song blasting on the speakers.
  3. one famous person to fight alongside you.  


My answers:

1) Atomic bomb. No zombies will be left mobile/infectious/molecularly intact.

2) "Immigrant Song" by Led Zeppelin (aka "Viking Kittens")
Because hey, given a chance to become einherjar, I'd want to make sure the Valkyries knew to come and pick me up.

3) filkertom ... because who else could write a song that would do justice to that news event?

I assumed the objective was to destroy the zombies utterly and the meme requested my choice of weapon. A nuke guarantees success and also guarantees I don't have to explain my actions to anyone who can make trouble for me. (Thor: "DUDE! You nuked a mall full of zombies! Have another keg of mead!") Given a combat mission, I tend not to put personal survival ahead of mission success.

I'd feel bad about trashing the ecosystem, though. Interestingly, Chernobyl demonstrates that nature bounces back rather fast if humans avoid the area.

I agree, filkertom would sing a filk in Odin's Hall that would make all the Gods laugh!

My answers:

1. An atomic bomb.

2. "Freak On A Leash" by Korn.

3. Tom Cruise. I would knock him out, strap the atomic bomb to him, set the timer, throw him to the zombies, and run like fuck. (Can you tell I don't like Tom Cruise?)

1. A flamethrower. I have a bad back, so I'm not so much with the close combat, but burninating the zombies? Cool.

2. AC/DC, "Back in Black." You know, you gotta match your fight song to your wardrobe, right?

3. Mike Tyson. He is the only non-undead person I can think of who is scarier than zombies, and would bite them right back.
