The Cool Things Always Happen After I Move

February 12th, 2009 by skippy

So according to the news a few weeks ago there was a zombie outbreak in Texas.

zombies

Which was followed a little while later by a velociraptor attack in Illinois.

raptors-ahead-road-sign

I will now explain how this is the worst possible combination of things that could happen.

When the Texans flee the zombies, they will probably head North.  After all, it’s currently cold in the North, and zombies don’t produce any body heat.  Which means that given cold enough weather zombies will freeze solid.  And so there will be a mass exodus heading North, with a mob of the living dead in pursuit.

Meanwhile in Illinois the velociraptors will make short work of the population up there.  You see, up in the Prairie State they have some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country.  And when man-hungry monsters start ripping their way through your neighborhood, you probably want something a little stronger than pepper spray.  Plus their state flower is the native violet.  And as everybody knows, the native violet is the wussiest plant in the Violaceae family.  Illinoisan might as well wrap themselves in bacon and soak in a nice marinade, they’re finished.

violahederacea Seriously.  Get a real state flower you pussies.

But once they finish off the Land of Lincoln, what are all of the raptors going to do?  They’re going to go South.  Because dinosaurs don’t like the cold.  I’m pretty sure that was on Animal Planet.

So then what happens next?

The velociraptors run into the zombies.  Okay, well first they run into the Texas refugees, who being Texans are way better armed than the people of Illinois.  Plus their state flower is the Bluebell.  Which as you will all no doubt agree, is exactly the sort of kick-ass manly flower you need to rally behind when fighting Jurassic carnivores.  They’ll be putting up a pretty good defense when the zombies will catch up and outflank them.

Once they Texans have been finished off you will have a large area empty of humans, and full of both zombies and velociraptors.  Since velociraptors are alive, the zombies will try to eat them.  Unlike people, raptors don’t have guns, and will thus be forced to defend themselves with melee combat.  And I’m sure all of you can guess what happens when raptors go close quarters battle against the living dead.

That’s right, you get zombie-raptors.

When a normal person turns into a zombie they move much slower than normal.  Well do you know what happens when a velociraptor moves much slower?  You get a dinosaur that can shamble faster than you could run on your best day.  Plus humanity’s main defense against zombies is our ability to lock them out of our homes.  As we have all learned from the Jurassic Park movies, raptors can open doors.

Basically you get every problem that you have with these newfangled fast running zombies, plus problem-solving abilities and a built in scything claw.

Game over man.

    i think raptors when they become zombies will lose (like humans) the cognitive ability to open doors.
    I dont see why they should be immune to this defect of zombism.

    They’re raptors. That’s why they are immune.

    See, this is why I have a zombie plan. I do not, however, have a raptor plan. I should probably make one. I should probably also make a raptor-zombie plan.

    Oh, and… I lost the game because of you, Skippy.

    My zombie plan IS my raptor plan and my general oh-shit-what-happened-tocivlization plan. The only significant difference when fighting raptors: Theoretically, having large amounts of unsweetened Concord grape juice on hand should help. (It’s a known repellent to all birds, and guess where their common ancestry lies.)

    Rules:

    3. When you lose the game you must say so.

    Bryan reply on February 14th, 2009 3:21 am:

    Screw you man, I was doing really good until you mentioned the game.

    Anyway, we play by these rules.

    1. You have 45 minutes to forget about the game.
    2. If at any point after said 45 min. you’ve lost the game.
    3. If you lose the game, you must state that you’ve lost the game.

    It really pisses people off when you lose the game and there’s about 9-10 other people in the same room.

    Our new thing in physics is being sneaky (loose thug aim) or, even better, associating things with The Game. Anytime my teacher mentions Justin Beiber my classmate looses (No Justin Beiber comments, please).
    It went like The Game->tree stump.

    Problem-Zombie Raptors
    Solution-Saturation bombing with HE follwed by area bombing with 1kTon or less nuclear ordinance.
    Probable Result-No Zombie Raptors and Texas is a glass parkinglot instead of an asphalt parkinglot.
    Possible Result-Radioactive Zombie Raptors.

    Yeah, I’m not sure I like my homeland turned into a glass parking lot (maybe oklahoma or arkansas).

    In addition to all of our guns, we also tend to make sure our trucks have their grill guards. If we can hit a deer at 60 mph and not sustain any damage, those zombies don’t stand a chance.

    On another note, I loved the fact that after the sign was hacked city workers were unable to override the hack.

    That sign doesn’t say Velociraptors it says Raptors. So keep in mind that real Velociraptors are not the size of the Raptors in Jurassic Park they are the size of turkeys. Utahraptors on the other hand ARE the size of the Raptors in Jurassic Park and hell they are named after Utah so you know they lived in this part of the world.

    The reason they didn’t use Utahraptors in Jurassic Park is because they were discovered in 1991 and the Jurassic Park book was written in 1990 and I’m guessing that they weren’t well enough known at the time of making the movie to use them, or they liked the name Velociraptors better.

    Wait a moment, why would the texans run from the zombies like wimps when they have half the worlds arsenal of shotguns, which, most people will note, is one of the best/most common anti-zombie weapon, and by the time the raptors finish off the people of illonois, the texans will have plenty of time to build an electric fence over the state, thus saving themselvs from the raptors. And if all else fails, somebody should bring semtex to our good friends the nuke silos in the land in between the raptors and zombies.

    Didn’t you see what happened in Dawn of the Dead or whatever zombie flick in that series the people are protected by an electric fence? It didn’t work. Also they developed an uncannily spooky ability to walk under/through rivers and other bodies of water.

    my anti-zombie plan involves making sure there’s a clause in my will to cremate my body. I ain’t joining no zombie clan. My anti-raptor plan is to make puzzle doors that you solve to get to the fingerprint scanner. Also auto-scanning turrets mounted around the perimeter of my houses and surrounding my driveway. Preferably my house will be a virtual fortress but I doubt it so I’ll try for a Tremors type house with a cement basement and armor and weaponry room(filled with shotguns, ammo, and swords)

    Problem is that infected will die (being normal humans) in the cold…

    True zombies, animated by unspeakable black magic will thaw in the spring and continue to destroy all they come in contact with…

    (also, you’ll note, if you’ve ever openned a door yourself… humans can open doors, zombies can’t… so I doubt zombie raptors retain that ability)

    Just make a quick call to New Orleans, get some witch doctor dude to come and sort them out and then set rednecks on the raptors. We’ll all have dinoskin boots before the day is out.

    Or we could ask the vampires to help. Or Satan, he probably owes the western world a few favours.

Especially after the decay of becoming the undead…as for being morman…….not sure even depleted uranium can solve that problem.
