Paddle.. sheesh.. 
Despite this, enough people nationwide buy it to throw a customer service department with ~3000 employees active at any given time into enormous queues for weeks. Moreso than any other sporting event broadcast on Dish.
As employees we got the cricket pack for free one year and I have to say, cricket is a fucked up sport.

I've never understood Cricket. It seems to be bowling meets baseball, with a little bit of rugby or something.

BetaTested had this to say about Knight Rider:
What about a chain saw? Ash made that work pretty well for him.
Slow - They can weight a good bit and it takes a while to cut through a human limb or head. By that time, other zombies will be all over you.
Ammo - Most chainsaws run on gas. You'll run out of it eventually and will have to either have a tank of gas ready with you or can reach a gas station without a ton of zombies following you and attacking while you refuel. For the electric variety of chainsaw, you have a limited range of movement.

Ja'Deth Issar Ka'bael stumbled drunkenly to the keyboard and typed:
1. Limited Ammo
It doubles as a club and then you're in the same position you would be in with a cricket bat.

2. Draws attention to yourself

3. buckshot is your friend, otherwise you're going to be trying to put a solid shell through a target's head, because anywhere else and it'll blow right through.
quote:
4. Best as a backup weapon.
5. Running still your primary option.
I'd see it as superior to the cricket bat in both these cases. You don't have to wait until they are within biting distance to attack, and it's not large to the point where you can't run with it.

So what's your plan for when I enslave humanity?
Which is cool because alliteration is awsome.
Primary weapon would be a rifle or shotgun.
Your secondary should be a pistol and THEN a melee weapon. Distance is your friend, rather then going toe to toe with an entire Brute Squad of the fuckers.

Well, not when stealth is an issue. A gunshot will alert a whole neighborhood of zombies to your presence.

Scythe is your friend in this instance. And you can always tell yourself as you cut down possible loved ones/friends/neighbors that you're only harvesting a field of wheat!
With a pitchfork you could - conceivably - keep as many zombies at bay as you can keep in front of you. Have you ever seen a zombie wrestle a weapon away from someone intentionally? Neither have I.

Well, the problem with that is it could be very clumsy to use indoors and if it's fairly hefty you'll tire faster than someone with, say, a claw hammer.
When the zombies close in, throw one. They'll stop to eat it, and you'll have time to run. They're also useful for luring large mobs of zombies into places you've rigged to explode, taking out large numbers of them at once.
As for weapons, I suggest a cap gun. Zombies are stupid, and will think they've been shot.

Ideally you're not going to be swinging it around, or doing any lifting. You'd just be poking, prodding and pushing - like some bizarre video game physics puzzle - to keep your attackers out of arm's length.
You simply aren't going to kill a zombie invasion single-handedly, no matter what you're armed with. Survival and evasion.

I'd go for a naginata. You can do all sorts of stabbing and pushing with such, but you can also slash, if need be, and they're not too heavy. Nothing quite like 6-8 feet of stick with a foot and half of blade on the end.

Who the fuck has a combat-worthy naginata in any place where a zombie infestation is remotely plausible? That's just silly.
I have three pitchforks of various lengths and weights. Sean fucked around with this message on 03-08-2005 at 03:20 PM.

I dunno. There's a shop not too far from where I live where I could probably get one or have one made. If we're talking just what's around the house...hrm, I have a hoe, a couple of shovels, and a large dog statue. Also a windmill, there will be no undead incursions on my property.

Fasten a machete to a good pole and you're close enough.
