WEBCAMS 28 -- How to Prepare for the Zombie Apocalypse story by GoNoAmmo written by GoNoAmmo and Jordan Krumbine A - The Dude B - The Chick C - The Zombie Realist A Pop quiz: how would you survive a zombie apocalypse? B A zombie apocalypse? A Yeah, zombies. B Why are you asking me about zombies? A (like it’s the most ridiculous thing he’s ever been asked) Why am I asking you about zombies? B You know I don’t even like zombies. The whole undead, rotting flesh thing ... seriously, that’s just gross. A Look, it doesn’t matter if you think it’s gross or not -- what matters is survival. B Survival? A Okay, can I tell you something? B What’s that? A You are a beautiful person, but you will be the first to die during a zombie apocalypse. I’m not saying that you’ll be AMONG the first, I'm saying you will BE the first. B Well, if you’re trying to disarm me with your wit and charm-- A This is serious stuff! And if you don’t knowledge up, you will be DEAD. B You’re not gonna let this go, are you? A There’s about five different ways there could be a zombie outbreak, so I want to make sure that you’re properly prepared. B How considerate. A What, is that sarcasm? B You have to admit, it’s pretty peculiar that you care so much about me being prepared for a hypothetical zombie apocalypse. A Oh, I’m sorry, I just assumed you wouldn’t want to DIE. Was I wrong? B Okay, you’re DEFINITELY not gonna let this go. Fine, uh, yeah, assuming that a zombie apocalypse was actually happening, I guess I would probably start by raiding a gun shop, okay? A What? Ah, no! B Really? What’s wrong with raiding the gun shop? I’d need weapons to shoot all the zombies during a zombie apocalypse, right? A Well, yes, but there’s a fatal flaw to your plan. B I’m pretty sure it’s in your head. A What? B The fatal flaw. (shakes head) Nevermind. A Assume you go to the gun shop nearest your home. B Assumed. A This place also happens to be the nearest gun shop for about a thousand other people and it’s a fair bet that a few of them are going to get there before you. B I’ll be sure to move closer before the apocalypse. A Assuming the shop isn’t cleaned out by the time you get there -- or if the owners haven’t barricaded themselves inside in order to protect their livelihood, thank you very much -- anybody who DOES have a gun is likely to know how to use it a hell of a lot better than you do. B So what you’re saying is that the odds of me getting some guns are nil. A Minimal, at best. And don’t forget about the zombies. B What about them? A Well, while you were futilely trying to procure a firearm, a horde of the undead are literally creeping up behind you. Odds of surviving this scenario are practically nonexistent. B And here I thought you loved me. A I do! That’s why I’m trying to help you now! Forewarned is forearmed, never more so than during a zombie apocalypse. B I hate you. A Not as much you’ll hate all those zombies gnawing on your lower intestines. Now what’s plan B? B Plan B? A You gotta have a plan B. B Assuming I can’t get any firearms? A That’s pretty much a guarantee. B Well, I’d get out of town, then. A (snorts) Yeah, you and everyone else. B (weary) Okay, what’s wrong with trying to get out of town? A Only EVERYTHING. All that traffic will create a bottleneck that’ll jam the roads. Everyone will be going nowhere fast while the ranks of the undead start grabbing some meals on wheels. B FINE. Then I could lock myself in my house. Lock the doors, board up the windows. I’ve got enough canned food to hold me. A Yeah? For how long? Zombies never stop. They don’t need to eat or sleep and they never get bored. They are literally capable of waiting forever. C Hey lovebirds. Talking zombies? B Sadly. A I’m trying to explain that there are five different ways a zombie apocalypse could happen and that we need to be prepared for each one. B You haven’t done anything other than tell me how quickly I’d die. A Because you’re not prepared! C I wouldn’t worry about anything. As scary as a zombie apocalypse might sound, it’s just not realistic. B Yeah, that’s what I said. C No, I mean zombies can totally happen but a rampant plague that leads to the apocalypse? Very unlikely. B (rolling eyes) Oh, god ... C So you definitely need to be prepared for a HANDFUL of zombies -- it would be pretty embarrassing if you died in an outbreak that never even came close to an epidemic. A Wait, wait, wait. What the hell would keep it from being an epidemic? C In a nutshell? Zombies have too many natural predators; they can’t function in heat or cold; biting is terrible way to spread disease; and they can’t heal from day to day damage. A Why is biting a terrible way to spread disease? C Oh well, you remember that one time when that dog got rabies, and then a day later, every single other dog on the continent had it, except for a small band of survivors huddled in a basement? A (confused) When did that happen? B That DOESN'T happen C It doesn't because it can't. A ... seriously? C (shrugs) Seriously. A (disappointed) ... huh. B You were really taking this zombie thing seriously? A I take SURVIVAL seriously. B Well, I guess I’m sorry we burst your bubble. A ... I guess I won’t need my boat. C You have a boat? B When did you get a boat? A (shrugs) I’ve had it. B In order to survive a zombie apocalypse? A I have it all stocked up and was going to take us down to the Ten Thousand Islands in Florida. It was the perfect plan. B (thoughtful) Huh. C An island off the coast of Florida. That doesn’t exactly sound terrible. A Too bad there’ll never be a zombie apocalypse. C Too bad. B (a thoughtful moment where she realizes how nice a zombie apocalypse could be; then a mournful sigh) END HORBAWRONG STUDIOS RELEASE NOTICE:
