YIKES! You are under a Zombie attack.. →[More:]Without thinking, grab the first thing on your left to defend yourself. Now, what did you kill the Zombies with?

For me, it was a small, friendly cat. I hope the Zombies have horrible feline allergies.

Table lamp... only minimally effective if the fluorescent bulb breaks and glass shards and/or electric sparks have any effect.

But if allowed 2-3 seconds to think, behind the lamp (and a couple other generally ineffective items) are two Coca-Cola glasses (you know that distinctive shape), one filled with multi-colored Flair pens (also ineffective; ignore them), the other containing various office items including THREE rather large pairs of scissors. Don't know why/how I acquired three of them, but now I know why they're there... to repel any attackers not made of rock.

I did my best to kill the one zombie with my iPhone, but I lacked the upper body strength to kill it, and now I'm afraid I w o n ' t b e l o n g f o r t h i

Back scratcher! Ruined the thing, but zombie arms do very well as a replacement!

Yay. I'm going into the zombie apocalypse wielding a paperback copy of "The Saga of the Volsungs". Zombie is papercut and pissed off.(Oddly enough, if I were to pick up the item to my right, it would have been a back scratcher as well.)

12 lb attack cat. Youngun, too, full of piss and vinegar this cool fall morning.

As long as the zombie is willing to play with her, it would stave off its demise, otherwise, it would be slayed by teh cutes.

diet coke can? I guess the stuff is most likely slowly killing me...

26-inch monitor. I suppose it makes a decent bludgeon, but at 18 pounds it's kind of unwieldy. Time to move the shotgun, I suppose?

DVD of Les Revenants. The threat of self-knowledge will repel them.

An 18 inch solid steel bar, wrapped in black electrical tape. It's about 3/4 inches thick. It was used to jack the main drive shaft of a five color printing press if the press got a paper jam. No I don't keep it for zombies. It's here for living assholes. But it would work just fine for the undead type.
