My Elves are Different is doing an incredible job tracking all these weird action stories going on right now. A lot of people are using the Z word. C'mon foks, can't be zombies. As much as we'd all like to live in a world where physics can be suspended and things like that can happen, we don't. Get real.

A zombie did NOT eat my dog. The guy next door is high on something new.

Still can't get through to 911. Tried the non-emergency line, and that's busy, too. I keep hearing random gunshots outside. Not that unusual for this neighborhood, but not exactly normal, either.

Wish I had a gun.

0.o

Zombie attacks or otherwise are not permitted until I've had more coffee. Gah.

Try using your old record collection.

Or a nice big shovel to whack in the brain pan.

That's working better than the guns so far.

Lifehacker had some suggestions a while back (Apr 1, 2006 I believe). The one most effective was the humble lawn mower. Not a riding mower - too ungainly - but a push mowe. Preferably something like a 3hp 18-inch Wal-Mart special (Snappers are too heavy). It's light enough to swing by the handle, if necessary. Great for crowd control.

A gas-powered weed whacker with a brush-cutting blade attachment is also great.

Others: electric hedge trimmers, electric knife, "Ditch Witch" with the blade turned upwards (though they too are a bit ungainly).

Good luck! They're totally avoiding this building. Don't know why. The aura of evil might have something to do with it.

Sigh, I live on an Island. They are stuck on the mainland. I have never been so glad to see the river flow.

The bridge was cranked up, so no cars can get over. I hope my parents get it.

Excellent! Shake up a warm Coke, slam it on the pavement, instant zombie bomb!

I agree- any notion of this being "zombies" is completely ridiculous. It's probably some weird viral marketing thing.
