    First off: after about three days, all the Zombies would be permanently dead. This is a proven fact. Nothing beats apparitions like ammunition.

    Then we would eat the zombies, instead of the other way around. Sure, they wouldn’t taste all that good, and that’s why you want to stockpile Tabasco© sauce.

    Remember when salt was worth its weight in gold? Me neither, but I read about it on them internets tubes.

    Actually, I thought it was a cut-away illustration of a single structure!

    And I thought: “I want!!”

    I’d like one the Titan I missile complexes out in Eastern Wa. They were the biggest and craziest damn things you can imagine.

    There’s an old Titan silo complex up at the Sutter Buttes, it was for sale a few years ago – dunno if they found anybody crazy enough.

    Replace the Cessna 172 w a P51 warbird for *Zombie mowing* and you got your answer to the qwestshun, “Where is John Galt Colonel Jerry?”

    Sutter Buttes? Almost midpoint tween Sacto-zombies and Frisco-zombies! {…blow all the dams on the rivers fm the Sierra mountains an you got a island in the CA. central valley original swampland! Could make good income fm restoring the old paddle-wheel ferry boat running, again, from Bakersfield to Frisco—as fast as Moonbeam`s highspeed railroad…}

    #2 is good for moles & such. You can see also that it’s a converted missile silo from the left-hand part: slide-away doors on top, central hollow part, right side separated by blast doors….

    The Cessna has a shorter takeoff run…..

    Re: #7…

    According to the police department, Brown, 55, [Ted Nugent's drummer] reportedly stole a golf cart after a Bangor concert featuring Nugent, Styx and REO Speedwagon at Bangor’s waterfront pavilion.
    Brown, who was reportedly intoxicated, evaded several people who tried to stop him and somehow picked up two women along the way, the department says on its Facebook page.

    Now THAT is ROCK & ROLL!!!

    P.S. Did you ever hear about the bass player who locked his keys in his car? He had to break the window to get the drummer out.

    I remember when Keith “The Loon” Moon bought a hotel so he could trash it without police involvement…

    Col. Jerry, SIR!: When I get un-elected to be the President of Everything™, I will, personally, appoint you to be the HNIC of ‘Zombie Mowing’. I’ll even provide, by Executive Order, several hopped-up P-51 Mustangs, locked and loaded, SIR! Just because I can.

    And that’s a promise you can take to the Starbucks© (but don’t expect to get a free cup of coffee from it).

    Mount 4 .50caliber machine guns on each wing of a Cessna 172, along with the ammunition and I guarantee that the takeoff distance would be considerably greater than a P51! (…depending on density altitude, maybe similar to a 1953 Studebaker pickup truck liftoff speed……)

    At 90 degrees on the Chino airport runway, I raised a P51`s landing gear at 1500 feet of takeoff roll….

    Don’t think we can hide from the Obammy zombie hoard, they will be disguised as IRS agents. Maaybe one of the islands far from the tax zombies? I’ll likely just bleed out all my money for them and die penniless. Not to far from that condition now thanks to ole #2.

  15. Posted July 10, 2012 at 2:54 pm |

    Not to disagree with the Colonel, SIR!, but the take-off distance for the Cessna 172, with 4 .50cals on each wing, would be exactly Zero, SIR!, because its wings would fall off from the load before it could even make it to the taxi way, SIR! My own brother is a certified A&P mechanic, with college degrees and everything, and he has confirmed this for me.

    I have, personally, flown several Cessnas, including a 310, which was a handful on account of them twin engines, (what were they thinking that day?) and while I found them to be adequate (barely) transportation, they are never going to be WarBirds.

    I also knew a retired Marine Colonel(RIP) who flew in all three wars of that era (including a stint as a ‘spotter’ in a Cessna in Viet Nam). One of the relics he had out of all of that was the clock that he yanked out of the P-38 that he crash-landed in fucking China, SIR! As far as I know, it still keeps perfect time to this day. Try that with a Cessna.

    Perhaps you knew him. His name was Matthews, SIR!

    I could take it!

    Yea-ah, I was jist josin Hog. BTW, you think a Cessna 310 is a handfull, try flyin one on a single engine! The primary purpose of the spare engine is to git you to the crash site! ;)

    Me and mine will do quite fine here at the Lair…. Suburban, but high point, defendable, and MONGO hates interlopers…… More interlopers, less MONGO food I have to scrounge…… Yannow?

    Oh, duh. At first I thought the bottom part of the pic was the underground part of the top part of the pic, and I thought: “How cool is that?”

    Also, after careful study, I decided part of the illustration is missing, because I did not spot the:
    - armory,
    - movie room,
    - kickboxing room,
    - room for all the garage sale lamps,

    - andddd….. the velvet padded rumpus room?

    Russia is sending warships to Syria, the MB is going to destroy the part of Egypt that pays the bills, Iran is building and wants to deliver The Bomb, China is deflating and about to burst, America and Europe are bankrupt and run by idiots who want to tax and borrow even more, our military is overextended and landlocked in the Hindu Kush in a no-win nation-building boondoggle and we have a complete moron as president running the free world into the ground while pandering to the 50% of our population who still think he’s the Messiah. What could possibly go wrong? Why are we looking at fortresses and retreats?
    TUA, you have some coordinates for your destination?

    Apocolypse (Vombie or otherwise) or no I want to live here

    This place was up for sale in 2009, and the had more pictures of the inside. I was absolutely beautiful. It is my dream home.

    I asked the REAL pilot of the Cessna 310 how far this plane would fly and he said, “all the way to the crash site!”

    Pilot jokes. I hate pilot jokes. Especially when you’re still up in the air.

    But as long as we’re talking Cessnas, here’s one that ain’t a joke: My good friend Danny, a former 747 pilot for Pan Am, decided to start a charter service with a 172 out of Boeing Field up in Tukwila, WA. One day he got a flight from some woman whose husband had died, and was cremated His last wishes were that she scatter his ashes over Puget Sound. You can probably see where this one is going already.

    Sure enough, the ashes all came right back into the cabin, creating a cloud of Dead Guy that was impossible to avoid. He and the widow were both coughing and gagging, as you might well imagine.

    Danny said that the worst part wasn’t during the next week that he spent, meticulously cleaning the ‘remains’ out of the cabin, including taking it all apart and even using Q-tips around all the little pedals and moving parts, etc. No, he said, the worst part was picking his nose for the next two weeks, and pulling out boogers consisting of aforementioned Dead Guy.

    Where do you flick them?

    Where do you flick them?
    Why, over Puget Sound. Or at least off the end of the pier into the Sound.

    OMG you’s guys–(as some here in the U.P. would say)– this starts out as a post about which is your castle and ends up with picking body ashes out of your nose—-now I have to try to wipe this smile off my face and I’ll have to try to explain why I’m chuckling to myself for what someone might think there is no reason.
