Zombie Meme
I was watching the latest podcast from the Totally Rad Show and in their view mail segment they introduced me to a new Zombie related meme:
You are trapped in a mall surrounded by zombies. What one weapon would you have by your side? What song would be playing during the epic battle ahead of you? Who is the one person you would want fighting by your side?
Are we talking realistic here or are we including any person or item from comics, movies, TV and film? If we’re going all out balls to the walls my picks are:
- Weapon = Power Ring from the Green Lantern Corps. An object of cosmic power that is only limited by my imagination? Sign me up! I can think of plenty of ways to take out the hordes of the undead.
- Song = “You’re the Best” by Joe Esposito. I have a soft spot for The Karate Kid so this song always gets me pumped. I’m not ashamed to admit it is sometimes in the back of my head when I am sparring in class.
- Person = T-1000, reprogrammed to protect my life of course. He can morph into any slicing or dicing tool we need to clear that mall of it’s ghoul infestation. On top of that there is no threat of him getting infected with the zombie virus since he’s an Android.
I’ll need a little more time to think about a more realistic answer.

I like your imaginary scenario answers, very very smart.
Real world:
1) Weapon : I was thinking a katana blade, but I’d probably hurt myself. I’m not much for guns, and given that coming into contact with tainted blood will turn you zombified, you want to minimize splatter… so, that leaves fire. Fire has its own dangers, especially in tight spaces, and how long exactly does it take before a zombie brain is cooked enough and it’s dead? But yeah, I’ma go for flame thrower and see how it works out for me.
2) Around the World by Daft Punk, maybe? I dunno, it seems to keep me energized.
3) Person - George Bush, because if someone’s going to figure out a way out of a zombie apocalypse it’s going to be silver spoon suckling dubya. And if he doesn’t, hey, you get to watch George Bush get eaten by zombies, and that’s it’s own reward.
