This week’s assignment from the League: Zombie Apocalypse

doomsday preppers

My newest obsession is Doomsday Preppers on National Geographic Channel, and the obvious rip-off, but equally entertaining, Doomsday Bunkers on the Discovery Channel. If you haven’t tuned in to these shows yet, they are about real-life people who are preparing for the worst, whether it’s solar flares, polar shifts, financial collapse–you name it, these people are preparing for the end of the world. Of course, combine these shows with last night’s season finale of the Walking Dead, and you can bet I am going to Costco to buy a few tubs of mayonnaise after writing this post.

This week’s league topic:

—-

Which TV or movie hero do you want beside you when the zombie apocalypse arrives.

—-

league logoOnce you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Next Monday, I will put up a post here on Cool & Collected with a list of all the contributing blogs. Once that list is posted, if you haven’t already done so, try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote on your site.

By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!

 

(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for joining The League.)

      Jboy, i just saw your post: http://revengefromthecosmicark.blogspot.com/2012/03/league-of-extraordinary-bloggers-zombie.html

      A truly inspired choice. I makes perfect sense to want a beautiful lady by your side–preferably one with an attachment to machine guns. 😉

        Sorry man! MacGyver has always been a fave of mine. Wouldn’t be much good killing zombies but would be a great help in the more basic needs of survival.

          No worries, Chris. I have a solid backup choice that I’m pretty sure no one else will choose. 😉

    OK, I thought about this for a long time, but in the end I still feel safest about my gut choice the Doctor, from Doctor Who: http://www.lifewithfandom.com/2012/03/league-week-6-zombie-apocolypse.html

      I know nothing about Dr. Who, but couldn’t he just take you to another planet or something? I guess that would be helpful. 😉

    OK, work has been kicking my butt, so I’ve missed the last few. I’m going to have to get in on this one, though. (And I watched that Doomsday Preppers show when I was out sick a few weeks ago. Those people are cra-zy.)

      Crazy yes. But I will be digging holes looking for them when the zombies start showing up.
