drive-by post ...

I am swamped this weekend, but this meme has been everywhere, and I could not resist:

You are in a mall when zombies attack. You have:

-- one weapon

-- one song blasting on the speakers

-- one famous person to fight alongside you.

Choose.

I chose:

-- an AK-47 (b/c they're well-constructed, and I've actually fired one before)

-- AC/DC's "Back in Black"

-- I almost went for Jason Statham, but then I realized he'd be a liability against zombies: He's great at hand-to-hand, sure, but hand-to-hand is more likely to get him bitten, and once he turned he'd be a stronger adversary. So I picked Geena Davis: She's an Olympic-level archer.

RM chose:

-- a German-made MG-42: The "world's best defensive machine gun," he says, it has the highest rate of fire (1,200-1,500 rounds-per-minute).

-- theme song from Conan the Barbarian, by Basil Poledouris (because it's "good music to die to").

-- He can't decide between Audie Murphy (he'd have calm, cool resolve during combat) and Ted Nugent (a bowhunter who has that psychotic mania one needs when fighting zombies).
