All the rules : including being careful of pretty women!<br /><br />You are right about the ammo. Although you have to factor in that you will be forced to salvage ammo from houses and stores and victims. 9mm might be easier to find since so many choose that caliber or .38 ammo.<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by and chatting, RolandRoland D.

One...Everything you need to know is in Zombieland!<br /><br />One key point often overlooked is to buy guns of the same caliber, so there is less ammo required, and nobody factors in weight.<br /><br />Me, I'd have a .22 pistol and rifle with mags, shorts, and longs, and that'd probably be all the weaponry required.<br /><br />And a knife, preferably a large and small.<br /><br /> - EricEric W.

I know the drought is wrecking on farmers, but I am not a lover of rain since those hurricanes!! I'm glad I could give you a laugh or two.<br /><br />Sue :<br />I hate to hear of your twin banes of droughts and floods -- that's just not fair. And mice on top of that. As for zombies in politics, I think being one is a requirement these days : no indepedent thought aloud -- only the herd instinct! LOL.<br /><br />Siv :<br />Yes, we in the States have bizarre government officials. And our radio evangelists aren't wrapped too tight either!<br /><br />Sarah :<br />I'm happy you got a smile out of this. Every locale seems to have its drawbacks, doesn't it? We have zombies in government here, too! :)Roland D.

I was laugh all the way through.<br />And living in East Texas I know what it is like too. We got hit by Rita, right after Katrina, and then Ike hit us 2 weeks short of 3 years later. After a cat 5 and a cat 4 in less than 3 years, I hope they told hurricane central the party was over and put out the no vacancy sign. Though with the droughts Texas has had a nice depression would be good.Theres just lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01557649636152032566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-39702762097571405592011-05-22T01:32:11.284-05:002011-05-22T01:32:11.284-05:00Hilary :

I thought we were waiting for the world to have ended today .. someone got their dates mixed .. but the zombies I'm sure are lurking out there in the winds .. the black and white kitten would win out - Gypsy would make sure the trip occurred to the ginger biscuit puddy-cat ... I have a simple wait - for rain ... and only need a Macintosh .. not a Mac .. or a Big Mac .. <br /><br />Cheers - enjoy the week ..
