ZOMBIE APOC WEAPONS BOOK

This book is an extension of a newsletter article I wrote that was inspired by a viewer suggestion on the Yankee Marshal YouTube channel. “If you were in the zombie apocalypse, and were traveling on foot, what are the four weapons you would choose? Melee, blade, pistol and rifle-choose one each”. I wrote the article because it was fun. Once I did that, at three times the length of a regular issue, I realized I still had a lot more to say. I said everything, but didn't have the space to explain my choices adequately.

And you all know how I simply adore explaining everything in detail, even on subjects you didn't realize you simply had to know about. And then, later, writing about it again, in even MORE detail. What can I say? I started writing almost thirty years ago, and didn't have the skill or research to expand ideas past a few sentences. Now it takes me a few books to do so. I hadn't retained what I read, and it took a lot more books to flesh out ideas, to start getting those of my own instead of simply borrowing. I stand before you now, proof that a life spent reading is not a waste of time.

Now, you should all know by now that I am NOT a huge zombie fan. The genre runs amok with lazy thinking and molesting tropes far past their expiration date. It has been so overdone that the horror element is largely absent. Just as “Beverly Hills 90210” ruined the “who are they sleeping with now” drama show, The Walking Dead largely killed the zombie show. I still have good memories of Melrose Place and Beverly Hills. I understand they were terrible TV, but the ex-wife and I pigged out on junk food and took a break from newborns ( and actually got along for a little while-although on her part the Dorito's and dip might have been the main attraction of her lust ) watching the two series. It was pure escapism.

*

You get four hours sleep a night and keep your mind right to resist that kind of trash TV. I don't think I could go back and rewatch them, and I won't. Sometimes distorted memories are best. But The Walking Dead? I have the first few years on DVD and I could never watch them a second time. I'm not sure why, other than, like a “who-done-it” movie knowing the end spoils it for you, perhaps. Or maybe, like nighttime soap operas, it just isn't all that great of a show and only was a one-off. I know the newer seasons I can't even watch the first time. It is just groaning zombies, no tension, no conflict. And recycled villains doesn't help.

*

Yeah, when the best part of a show is the weapon used ( Lucille the barbed wire bat, or even the Mini-14 in The A Team LOL ), your show has jumped the shark. At least The A Team and Melrose Place were pure crap from the very beginning, and never over promised then failed to deliver. I think the sense of betrayal has a lot to do with it. If you start out great, either stay that way or get out while you are ahead. I loved the anthropology aspects of the first few seasons, but certainly not the “milking this for money” central theme of the last ones. But it isn't ALL just Walking Dead, is it?

*

I have watched many a movie and read many a book on zombies. A very few are great, some are good, but most are crap. The genre can still be contributed to, but the overall direction is to wallow in a cesspool of completely talentless hack work. So no one, no I, not you and not even Ross Perot who isn't immune to our whims even six feet under, no one needed any more zombie entertainment. Why in the name of all that is just and holy am I even writing a booklet on the subject? As I said, it was fun. And fun has been a bit lacking as we have to deal with this giant crap sandwich of the central bank getting their toady governors to lock us all down so the elite can skim off the last wealth and then jet away to Switzerland ( New Zealand is for the elite wannabe's like Bill Gates )

( Who you have to laugh at. He was a punk ass bitch math nerd who couldn't get laid, who would have been a steaming pile of nothing had his parents not had wealth. Once he bought Windows and tweaked it so it worked worse, the money poured in and he went into a decades long overcompensation for all his faults, and tried to buy his way into the elite. If he had to kill off whole continents of Darkies with contaminated vaccines to do so, well, by gum, that is what he'd do. And then all the Cool Kid Elites STILL made fun of him and told him to piss off )

*

And besides, I'm LOSING readers during this Beer Virus. What In The Actual Hump? I'm putting up tasty tidbits of prepper goodness for their hopeless asses. Was it the Bottle Bidet article? Did I mock and ridicule Rawles too much? Did I not kiss the wrinkled arse of sell-out RINO Orange Man sufficiently? Not that I've ever really cared about increasing viewership, since it simply doesn't happen. It can edge up marginally, then lose most of the new arrivals once they see a picture of my magnificent hair and realize they can never be as studly as I. I get that. No hate. But to lose them while unemployment soars?

*

So, hey, I might as well just write about what makes me happy, as I usually have, and those that truly want to come along for a slightly psychedelic trip can, putting up with my areas of interest. Sweet Baby Jesus! Can you imagine how boring this would be if I just wrote about standard prepping advice? You pay for the extra thrills, and hence it shall be delivered. If I wanted to be like everyone else I'd grow Hippie Hair, buy an SUV, vote Republican and bitch about my wife who never puts out. I'd only buy freeze dried koala meat and shoot plastic poodle semi-auto goodness. I say, NAY! I shall spit in the face of diversity and embrace the slightly unacceptable. Join me, my long suffering minions!

In accordance with your unstated but obvious wishes, I'll try to keep these chapters posted one or two at a time only, and throw in other subjects in between. Just in case you grow weary or are less interested than myself.
