So my wife has been reading some AR-15 forums to see why I spend so much time on here.  It seemed like 2 out of 3 random links she went to had some reference to "Being ready when the zombies come..."   There were even pictures of magazine and ammo stockpiles and inspirational posters with tons of weapons on it stating that "Zombies aren't going to kill themselves..."

So my wife wants to know why everyone is "preparing for when the zombies come" when there is no such thing as zombies..  She actually looked worried that ARF.com was filled with nutty people..

I explained to her that zombies were a metaphor for anything you need to be prepared for.   If you are prepared for social unrest, war, storms, pandemics, etc, then you don't have to worry about what life throws at you....including zombies...

She gets it, but still thinks the whole "Zombie Thing" is retarded.

Oh well.   I tried...

Zombies is a metaphor? Really?

I thought it was just a joke answer to "why do you need this" or that some people actually believed it.

Shoot....I've justified purchases because of nightmares about zombies.

My wife thinks the zombie thing is funny.  In fact, she about died laughing when she showed me this pic in an email she got.

I had my wife read this.  She agrees w/ your wife, so there we have it. 2 out of 2 Arfcom wives think the zombie thing is retarded.  After showing her the baby zombie pic above, she extended her condemnation to say that "all of ya'll are retarded."

There are still zombies looose up in Bartow from the Army train derailment back in 2005.  The government is still denying it.   I personally know K.A.W. who owns the farm near the wreck.  He has taken out 23 zombies himself.  He has a necklace of teeth to prove it.

That is why I carry two Taurus Judges rechambered to 12 ga.  I load them with slugs.

I think the whole zombie thing, which I am a huge fan of, is a way for us to fantasize about being able to take on faceless hoards of sub human's without remorse. Because, face it, if they weren't zombies they'd have to be real people. It's OK to actively plan for and think about mowing down crowds of zombies, but not people.

I must be a lucky man, then.  Whenever the wife sees me opening a package from UPS, she asks "Zombie preps?"

Isn't that illegal?  I know that a man can't have more than one wife. I assumed a woman couldn't have 2 husbands.

For anyone who doesn't believe in zombies, come to my neighborhood at night, during the day they are just crackheads, but at night all the do is walk around with their hands out mumbling shit.

I know for a fact the last things I'm going to hear in my life are the sounds of my feet shuffling through a pool of 5.56mm brass, the bolt carrier locking back as I expend my last mag, and a crunching sound as a zombie crushes my skull to the cries of "BRAINS!!!!!!"
