As we all should've noticed, June 6th of this year numerically is 6/6/06. Sure, there's been one every century, but it seems the fear is increasing a lot this year, concerning the fact that it's a new millenium, "Signs of the apoclypse" are everywhere, "Sin rates are up", etc. So, I ask you now. What will you do on 6/6/6?

Me: I have aptly named it "Z-Day". I will grab my step-dads 12 gauge, shoot my parents (who are now zombies), jack my step-dads work van, (I know how to drive well enough to drive it on a road where there's no cars) head the local Wal-Mart, picking up any alive humans along the way, shoot the zombies in there, take the one and half foot machete they have for sale there (No shit. They do have a one and half foot machete for sale there.) strap it on my back, go the gun section, get as many pistols as possible, arm anyone I have with me, get some shotgun ammo, then head back to the van, head to Travis Air Force base, where hopefully the soldiers have kept the zombies back. If they have, I am joining up with them, then convincing one of the pilots I can find to jack a jet and head for D.C., where there are probably enough soldiers defending Congress, the President and the House Of Represenitives for us to be safe. If not, then I will find the armory and grab me an M4. All the while picking up anyone alive in the base. If they have some M60's or otherwise good machine guns, I will grab them and set up a defensive position at the Commisary, where I will have plenty of food and water to survive for about a year. It is easily defendable, as there are only three entrance, with the windows high enough off the ground to where the zombies can't get in, and one of the entrances is so tough that the zombies will not be able to get in. There will be watches depending on how many people I've picked up. If it is still only myself, I will sleep near the two entrances (which are only about five meters away from each other), so that if zombies try to break through I will hear. Every day I will be clearing zombies out of the base in an attempt to make it safer. Eventually I will try to find a communications center to radio in for help. When military help does arrive, I will gladly go with them until Z-Day is over. If military help doesn't come, then I will try my best to kill all the zombies in and around Travis Air Force base, and when that is done I will live there until the day I die.

I'll listen to Bob Dylan... Drink... Probably watch pr0n... Talk on NS forums...

Good luck with that. I'm going to get drunk. It'll be 3 days after my final exam at uni, so what else am I meant to do?

Celebrate the 61st Anniversary of D-Day, and remember those who died there. Hopefully take a trip to Pegasus Bridge.

EDIT: Dude, if readin copious amounts of zombie fiction has taught me anything, it is that the President either gets eaten by swarms of zombies before his guards do anything, or he buggers off before thinking of anything else. The WhiteHouse is a bad place to be.

I think you've put way to much thought into this.

That said, my pocket folder will be sharpened & polished on 6/5 just incase.

6/6/6. I never noticed that before. Maybe I can use stupid people's fears and worries for my own amusement, but I doubt I'll get the opportunity.

too much to read. :(

I put too much thought into everything.

Good job.

I guess I'll storm the beaches of Normandy... again... *sigh* :rolleyes:

Ummm... let's see...

It's a Tuesday. I will probably go to work, work all day, if it is nice out eat lunch outside somewhere, go home, put out the recycling, feed the cat, read a book, check my email...

Yeah, that's probably what I will do. On the following day, probably much the same, but without putting out recycling.

:rolleyes:

I will hide under the covers and hope there aren't people rising from their graves. Luckily my graduation isn't on the 6th but the 8th. Hopefully the world will still exist. lol

I'll probably end up mutating into some sort of reptilian monster and going on a blood filled gorey rampage. Either that or I'll play on my computer...Which I should hopefully have fixed by then. :p

Ppp Shaaa. Grab a gun and go zombie hunting. Screw hiding.

well seeing as how its going to be one of those days were weird things happen I guess I will have no strings attached sex with a beautiful woman and get an A+ in some work (hopefully not in the same order:p )

I'll listen to Bob Dylan... Drink... Probably watch pr0n... Talk on NS forums...

Well damn, that's what I'll be doing too.

Remember people:

The undead can be killed either by shooting them in the head, or removing the entire cranium

I'll have my cricket bat ready.

Change Bob Dylan and sure, me too.

12 Gauge, M4, 9mm, M60. I think they will all be adequate.

Make sure to bash their brains out after you knock them down, other wise they'll get back up.

Or you could destroy the entire body.

Anyway, I'll be funding the undead. I figure if I can get on their good side, I'll have a better position when they take over. All you zombie hunters had better stay out of my way.

12 Gauge, M4, 9mm, M60. I think they will all be adequate.

You need something light, servicable and above all reliable. The Zombie Survival Guide recommends 9mm or a semi-automatic rifle, such as a Garand or modern equivalent. Add to this decent clothing, short hair, a bicycle and rations, as well as something to cut/stab with, and you're fine.

i think there's a movie based on 6/6/06 (the omen?). you've gotta wonder if it's one of those movies that hollywood had an idea that a movie should revolve around 666 and release on that date, then built the movie around it. probably going to be awful, not going to bother with it.

Duh, I know how to kill zombies

Destroying the entire body is pointless and timewasting - the head is the only way to completely eliminate a Z as a threat. How exactly do you intend to get on their good side? They're mindless killing machines - they won't see you as any different to any other being with a pulse.

I think I have a maths exam on that day... or something similar...

Read OP. 18 inch machete.

Hmmm. Good; possibly a tad too long, but it'll do.

It's small width wise, but the smallness is good, as it increases the sharpness. After all, all I want to do is cut the zombies head off.

I'll be going to school and worrying about final exams and publics... :(

If any zombies come after me, I'm gonna kill them! :D :sniper:

M4. I think that's good enough to qualify as a "modern equivalent". I just thought of something. There has never been a zombie movie set in a New York-style urban setting. Dawn of the Dead (Remake) was close, but it still didn't have the towering sky-scrapers of New York.

Change Bob Dylan and sure, me too.

Yeah, you're right... I'll probably be listening to really crappy 90s music like I do every other day.

I'll get high and kill people.

Since nothing happend on the last 6/6/06 I wont be worrying

Don't forget about the 6th hour part... the only problem is, in which time zone? *ponders*

EST of course.

see how many mass suicides there are on the news, and play NS

probably be no different than my birthday on 2/2/02

I'll be vacationing in England then...I think I'll actually just be arriving in London on the 6th.

If you can get to Cleveland in time and hold up a sign that says IL Ruffino...perhaps. Otherwise, you'll have to find your own way over, I'm afraid.

I'm going to pray to god! :rolleyes:

Actaully, I plan on seeing the Omen in theaters.

What about me? :)

Come up to Leicester and I'll...I dunno...abandon you in the city centre somewhere. ;)

Since I'm in PA.. I will be there. Are you paying for me?

I have to take my Physics final. The deal is: if you get an 'A' on the final, regardless of how you did all quarter, you get an 'A' in the class. Maybe it will be my lucky day! :p

June 6 is Sweden's national holiday, so I won't be doing much at all. Have finals a few days after, so I'll be chained to a desk at the uni library.
