Yep. We have a small assortment of tools we use. First it gets whacked in the head with a small mallet, then it's held down and scaled with a tool that looks like a potato-peeler. Next we cut off the head and slit it along the belly. The internals are pulled out and the ribs/spine are cleaned with a special pick. After this we cut off the tail, the upper and lower fins, wash it, and wrap it to be frozen.

Monopoly and Clue are my two favourites.

We've got a nice cottage on the lake we visit each summer. The lake is full of Bass. My father and I go out fishing every other night. As long as the fish we catch is of a reasonable size we'll keep it and eat it. We don't fish for sport; if we get a fish it'll be tomorrow night's dinner. Unfortunately there are times when we catch fish that are simply too small and we have to release them. Yes, there is a chance that they will die due to stress or injuries but it is fairly low.

Personally I don't watch anime but some of you may find this site useful if you're looking to watch the show.

Welp, looks like it's time for me to pull out the old Dark Tower quote. I swear there's a thread on this every month or so.

Yeah, that is the one thing I was thinking about when I was formulating my plan. Under ideal circumstances I'd travel with no more than two other people. This would allow us to work in shifts, with one person keeping watch while the other(s) sleep. On my own I'd stick to very rural environments where the population density is extremely low. That way even if I was found, I wouldn't have to deal with more than half a dozen zombies. I'd probably end up sleeping in trees using a makeshift hammock device. I know that if I were to hole-up somewhere it would be either a wholesale outlet [i'm thinking Costco, most of their stores are huge brick fortresses with very few ways in] or a prison. I really think malls are a bad idea, there are far too many huge, glass entrances for one person to barricade. Boats are an excellent idea if you're a proficient sailor. I know nothing about life at sea so I'd probably die :( Not to mention the fact other survivors that fled to the sea may turn to piracy.

Weapons: My primary weapon would be an M1-Garand. Used throughout World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam it is one of the most reliable firearms ever created. General George S. Patton is quoted as saying the M1-Garand is "the greatest implement of battle ever devised." The key to survival is avoidance. With a rifle as my primary weapon I am able to defend myself without having to approach a zombie. If I am forced to fight a close quarters battle, I want simple, reliable weapons. Therefore, I've chosen the Colt Single Action Army [Peacemaker] as my backup firearm and a USMC-grade KA-Bar combat knife. The blade is not serrated, I do not want it getting stuck inside a zombie's skull. Defense: Once I've got my weapons, ammo, and water I'm headed towards the nearest motorcycle dealership. There are two reasons for this; armour and transportation. First I'll be looking for a mid-weight touring bike. This will be much more effective than any four-wheeled vehicle. Once the zombie outbreak is at hand people will flee, roads will become jammed and car accidents will occur. A motorcycle will allow me to travel great distances without having to worry about fuel [which I can syphon from parked cars] or blocked roads. Noise is the one drawback but I will not be taking it anywhere near urban areas. Since I'll be riding I will need protection. Lucky for me, most motorcycle shops sell jackets, pants, and helmets. The jackets and pants are made of leather or demin and are all kevlar-reinforced. They are designed to protect you in the event of a high-speed crash and they are more than able to withstand several bites. Hiding Place: I will not be hiding. When it comes to zombies the rules are simple; you stay in one place, you die. I will be travelling non-stop, avoiding urban areas unless I need to replenish my food/fuel/ammo supplies. Technique: Avoidance. Stay away from highly-populated areas as they have become full of zombies. Do not engage zombies in contact unless completely necessary. Theme Song: "Golden Years" by David Bowie. For the record, if these are fast/smart zombies like the ones in "28 days later" or the "Dawn of the Dead" remake there is no way any civilians would make it through a global outbreak. :ohnoes:

How about this? Your cat has been killing your neighbours - prize winning - pigeons. You either get it declawed or put asleep. Its not like we WANTED to have them declawed.. (currents cats arent declawed anymore, they cant hunt anything anyway) Why are prize-winning pigeons in a situation that allows them to be killed? One would think they would be placed in a cage or outdoor enclosure for their own protection.

Never declaw your cat. It's a horrible procedure that is the equivalent of cutting off each of your fingers to the first knuckle. There are many ways to keep cats from scratching that are cheap and effective.

I never gave them much thought until I saw March of the Penguins. After watching it I had a new-found respect for them. Crazy marches across a billion miles of ice and whatnot =D>

I've owned three cats during my lifetime. Two American Shorthairs and one Maine Coon. The Maine Coon has more personality than any cat I've ever known. I would highly suggest getting one if you can. Our little guy was found along the highway with his brothers and sisters. Their mom gave birth to them and died a few days later. Luckily they were saved by the local vet and we got him for free :D He's only a year old and he's already as big as our five year-old shorthair. The vet thinks he's gonna be well over 20lbs when he's fully grown :shock: His hair is awesome, he's got a huge fluffy coat. Like the wiki page says, he has a big poofy chest, poofy legs, and a monsterous tail. He doesn't meow like a normal cat, he makes this strange "Hhhuuuhhhh???" noise instead. So cute. He's also extremely playful; his favourite game is fetch. We've got a bunch of little squishy balls we buy him and he plays fetch with us. Throw the ball down the hall or stairs and he'll run after it, pick it up in his teeth and bring it right back =D> Unfortunately we don't have a digital camera or I'd post a picture. He's all black with a white neck and tummy. He looks exactly like this: Here's a full body shot of a small female, notice the tail. She's not puffing it up because she is scared, they are out like that all the time:

Yep, I will be getting a few of them. I've seen people that get tattoos of their children's footprints after they are born. I'll be doing the same. I'll have them on my shoulderblades. Here's an example of what they can look like, this one is on the guy's arm and the picture shows it horizontally. Mine will be vertical along the shoulder: :thumbsup:

French Wafflecakes. Mix up some Pancake batter and spread it over a waffle, making sure some batter gets into each nook and crannie. Throw it on the stove for a few minutes so the pancake mix solidifies. Then dip it into the egg mixture and place it back on the stove. Cook until golden brown and serve with syrup, jam, or powdered sugar :thumbsup:

Nothing special, I'm Canadian.

Yep. We had this great class in highschool; it was called "world religions" and we got to learn about all the major religions. It was very informative.

If you've seen Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back you'll probably remember the which is a tiny offshoot of the movement.

We have a similar TV [720p/1080i] and the same package from Rogers and I love it. I would love to see what the channels look like on a 1080p HDTV. Unfortunately, the stores around here carry very few of them and the ones they do have are way too expensive :cry:

That's why you run these kind of operations from a country that has no copyright laws and won't work with the RIAA/FBI. :shame:

I thought the cover system was a nice step up from the one in games like Kill.Switch. However, I was very dissapointed in the AI. Enemies didn't seem to know how to use the cover system as well as they should have.

Blame Fox "News" :shame:

If my friends initiated the fight, then no, I wouldn't help them. But in this scenario his friends were attacked first, so I'd definitely help my friends (though I'd advise them not to annoy anybody by calling them 'pie eater') I understand where you are coming from. Growing up, none of us would back down from a fight. Even if you got beat up you would get respect for standing up for yourself and taking it like a man. As a kid we would let two guys fight it out without anyone getting involved and afterwards the matter would be settled, regardless of who won. However, I would never get in a fight today. If you watch the news you will see countless stories of gang jumpings, stabbings, and the like. People no longer fight fair and that's frightening. It's gone from "any fight you can walk away from" to "any fight you can survive."

A fair number of them are non-smokers who suffer as a result of someone else's smoking.

The helmet itself does look horrible but I can't wait until this type of thing becomes a standard in gaming. Heck, the possibility of using three monitors for some games is pretty awesome, this is just amazing. Triple monitors look like this: http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/gxm/p ... shots.php# http://www.guru3d.com/article/Videocards/337/4/
