What’s up dudes,

For those of you who don’t know me, I have a love for all things that deal with Zombies.  Really.  Movies, books, comics, I don’t care.  It all comes from my viewing of Night Of The Living Dead when I was seven years old and developed an irrational fear of zombies.  Yes until about 2 years ago, I really was scared of the dead coming back to life as they did in that horror classic.  Afraid to the point that I had a hard time entering the cemetary when my parents passed away.  The remake of Dawn of the Dead with the super fast zombies did nothing to help me or my irrational fear.  I have since become obsessed with them.

So a while ago my girlfriend and I were talking, you know, just regular crap, when I started to write down ideas for some blog topics.  Of course out of 5 topics, 4 dealt with zombies.  Anyway, one of the topics became name 5 famous people that you want to survive the WWZ, (World War Zombie).  Now for this exercise, we are going assume several things.

 - The zombies have been defeated and are completely wiped out.

  - There are enough members in your group to insure repopulation of the earth.

 - No one in your group is an “expert” in anything.  All members are for lack of a better term, “Average Joes”.

Now it was interesting when we talked about our choices because neither one of us could come up with a woman who would make the list.  All the famous woman were either in fields like politics, (which we don’t need), supermodels, (we have woman to repopulate the earth), or actors, (we aren’t making movies for a long time).  So don’t think that we weren’t looking for woman to put in there.  We were. 

The men on the list are also older for the most part.  That is because they have the life experience which will help for the reasons that I list when I say who they are.  While younger men might be around longer, they do not have the experience that can make sure the skills that they will teach are taught correctly.  So without any further ado, here we go……

-         Ted Nugent – The motor city madman.  This was my first choice, but my girlfriend being younger, was also quicker and said him first, so I have to give her credit.  You might find better, but you won’t find anyone else who is the “total package”.  He’s an incredible marksman not only with shooting weapons like hand guns, hunting and semi-automatic rifles, but also the bow and arrow.  He is an expert hunter and tracker.  This of course will be essential.  He is a political conservative, which provides for a fundamental political philosophy, and of course, the man shreds some guitar.

-         Jackie Chan – A master of martial arts.  He will provide the spiritual guidance that is inherent in martial arts, along with a great self defense and exercise program.  This will help with keeping the group in shape, able to defend themselves, and of course, have some sort of spiritual meaning toward their lives that didn’t depend on some sort of religion, which I would not want introduced into the new society.  To have religion introduced is to have infighting.  Being spiritual provides all the good of religion without having all the doom and gloom.  Something that is very import, to me at least.

-         Lee Stroud – For those of you who don’t know who this guy is, he is, (drum roll please), SURVIVORMAN!!!!!  That’s right.  The guy from survivorman.  This guy is awesome.  He can provide all the skills we would need to survive what would be the first few years of reclaiming the world.  Going out and exploring the world.  Survival tactics will become important as we start to “let our guard down”, thinking, since the zombies are defeated, we have nothing to worry about.  Wrong.  That will be when we are going to need it the most.

-         David Allen Greer – Simply put, we need someone who is funny.  And when I say funny, I mean constantly funny.  Humor will become incredibly important during the beginning of the post zombie earth.  There will be a lot of depression for all kinds of reasons and we need someone to inject humor into our sad lives.  The reason I pick him is because he has always been funny.  Everyone finds him funny.  Not just ghetto kids, or rednecks, or the intelligence community, or people on one side of the political fence or the other.  He is funny to everybody, and everybody will be need to be able to laugh.

-         Stephen Hawkings – Yes I know that he is a quadriplegic, but the bottom line is that when we are trying to return the world to normal, there will be a lot of scientific works that will need to be deciphered for those of us who are just not smart enough to understand it.  We need to make sure that all of the scientific advances that have been made in the last 50 to 75 years are not lost.  There needs to be someone to explain it and educate us to understand what those theories mean.

There you have it.  The 5 famous people that I think would be important to have in the new world that we zombie survivors plan on making a better planet than it was before hand.  Let me know what you think about my choices and who you would choose for your five famous people.  Thanks dudes and remember, it is coming.
