Assuming at the time of reading this, there are reports of strange isolated zombie outbreaks. Wherever you are right now at the time of reading this, is where you would be in the zombie outbreak.
Alright zombies are spreading FAST...so regular zombie rules apply, they can be fast but not faster than a regular human, they do not need oxygen, can live without limbs...destroying the brain destroys the zombie. This thread is not really a game, more an interesting scenario.
A few things can tip the odds of surviving a zombie attack in your favor, if you have any special abilities mention them, such as:
Good physical condition.
Knowledge of firearms/weaponry in general.
Wilderness survival training.
Military service.
police/rescue.
First aid/CPR/medical training.
Martial arts training.
Construction.
Hunting.
Your specific countries military strength.
Anything else you can think of thats beneficial during a zombie attack.
Other facts that might tip the odds in your favor include:
Location.
People in your area.
Supplies available.
Vehicles/ATV's/boats/weapons in your possession.
How often you check the news.
Ability to stay calm/mental stability.
Et cetera...
Go into detail, do you have any special plans for more plausible things such a nuclear war or natural disasters? Would it be you alone, or would you have friends or family to protect. How strong would your will to live be, could you kill zombies of people you knew and be cool with it, or would you fall apart like a pussy?
Ok so based on where you are(or could be within 30 minutes, and if you chose to leave where would you be going?), could you survive a zombie outbreak? As implausible a scenario this is, try to keep it realistic and based on what you would actually do believing it to be real. Take all above facts into consideration, like if you managed to get home could you survive long term? Or for example...if you live in an apartment in New York and never check the news...be honest, you are just plain screwed.
I will go first:
I would take viagra and hop into bed with my girlfriend and screw like rabbits until the zombies get closer. Upon her request I will take her life then mine.
EDIT: BTW the subject title is a nod to Undead Fred. There you go you magnificent bastard!
I don't know how to live
But I've got alot of toys...

Well first I would put on one the t-shirts a friend of mine makes to show them who's boss
I have one!! It has my favorite number and my last name. I'm ready. Kind of.
I think my chances would be decent. I live in an area surrounded by a lot of farmland and woods (for now) where my college friends and I have spent much time discussing a potential zombiepocalypse. The plan here would be to fight our way to the Wal-Mart, which has guns, food, and everything else. Granted, getting there and barricading everything properly would be tough, but it's a plan. At home, I live in one of the most densely populated areas of the US so it would be a wee bit more difficult.
Other than that I don't have much weapon training but have been meaning to hit up a shooting range (mostly out of curiosity but sure, why not be ready for some zombie bastards). I think having a crowbar handy wouldn't hurt. That's my choice for brain-smashing, even if a bat wouldn't get lodged in things as easily. A crowbar could also be used for other purposes, anyway. I know some first aid, am in okay shape, used to run track (distance, meaning I probably still don't tire as fast) and don't eat a whole lot. My friends are quick to highlight the fact that I wouldn't eat a ton of food, haha. I would definitely try to find a place that's got some other survivors rather than trying to set up my own barricade.
It's good to plan for zombies.

Hm. I'm not very athletic, nor I have a firearm or any kind of weapon training, and I live in a fairly populated area. That's bad. However, I live in a fifth floor, with only an elevator and a ladder giving access to it, and a decent amount of food stored, specially given the fact that I don't eat much. The katana I have for exhibition could serve me on an emergency, plus my gamecube with its handle and spiky borders would make a decent head smasher. I wish I had an XBox or even better, a PS3, for self defense, those hit hard. I think I could even make a decent bomb with the butane bottles I have in the kitchen and a few matches. Hmmmm...
Anyway, I'd probably die in a silly way.

Yeah, there's a mall close by and a grocery store by a drug store right around the corner, but I'd be wary of running straight to one of those places since I'm sure most of the city would have thought of that as well. Of course, I'd love to try to lock myself in the mall like IN THE MOVIES, but I'm sure realistically it'd be too dangerous. My weapon choices are also pretty much the same: basic tools and an odd sturdy item or two like a baseball bat. Now, provided the zombies coming after me aren't too closely-packed and I could avoid fights, I'm sure the bat and a hammer would be good for some emergency kills. As fun as it might be, you've gotta avoid wearing yourself out and try not to break your weapons before you really have to. Heh heh. If the zombies are too fresh (which they sound like they are in this scenario), then their skulls probably aren't soft enough to be pushovers just yet.
I'm also in the same "my location kind of screws my odds" boat since I'm in the middle of the city and I know the highway would be miles of bumper-to-bumper traffic with burning cars and twisted wrecks, so I'd be really really limited in terms of driving. I think my only chance would be to barricade for a day or two while the panicked people thin out or get TURNED while I eat food I have here and then grab my backpack and try to get supplies. That's assuming I can't get through to friends and family... in which case, I'm not sure how that would affect things.
EDIT: Oh yeah! I took the test and I'm at 34%. :C
