Zombie Fortress In Ireland

Irelands Zombie Fortress

Downpatrick Head, County Mayo, a very popular sight seeing site. It is the location of an ancient church founded by St. Patrick himself. Legend has it that a chieftan refused to convert to Christiananity and St. Patrick struck the ground and the sea-stack you see in the picture formed. The chieftan was stranded on the sea-stack.

When the Zombie apocalypse occurs, (And it certainly will) this particular real estate is the perfect Zombie fortress. The sea-stack once supported life as an expedition found remnants of a hut, tools, and walls. Some simple supplies to stock the stack beforehand will allow your team to live Zombie free for a long time. When supplies do run out, using pulley ropes to lower yourself down to sea level, you can return to the mainland to reload supplies.

Even if your fortress is found out by zombies or humans, the sea-stack is easily defended. Zombies cannot climb and any people wanting to loot your possessions will find it impossible to gain access.

I'm forulating my survival supply list now.
1- Guinness beer.
2- Soda bread.
3- Irish stew.
4- Irish whiskey.
5- More Guinness beer.

Walking Dead Prison Door Scene Video

Looking like a scene right out of AMC's hit series, The Walking Dead, this Dark Zone scene has zombies (Walkers) bursting through a prison door on their relentless quest for flesh. This is an extremely lifelike Halloween prop when set in the right conditions. One of the best I have seen at the show. Walking Dead season four airs Sunday 9pm EST.  Happy Halloween

Zombie Outbreak In Ireland

Ireland Infested With The Walking Dead

In the event of a zombie apocalypse, not even the Emerald Isle, Ireland, would be spared the horror of the flesh-eating walking dead.

Zombie Fortress - Floating Zombie Barge

When Zombies Attack

As I have stated before, it is never to early to prepare for the Zombie Apocalypse. A vital part of surviving the horde of zombies is securing a Zombie Fortress impregnable to the horde. This intriguing design is named The Zombie Barge. The barge is self contained with different cargo on each ship. The barge can sustain a small amount of people for many weeks before coming ashore for more supplies.

The barge has electricity, both solar and water turbine, fresh vegetables grown on the barge, chickens, cows, and plenty of fish. The barge has living quarters, work area, storage, Jeeps, weapons, medical supplies, everything you need to survive.

The beauty of the floating barge is its mobility. The barge can move up and down a river, say, the Mississippi river to avoid zombies from collecting at the shore waiting for the barge.

There is plenty of room on the Ohio river. Should I begin constructing my own barge or are there design flaws in this fortress? Let me know in the comments.

Happy Halloween

Zombie Crawl And My 2000th Post

It was late in the evening and my best friend Gumby and I were walking home from the bar. Suddenly I got a text from my son saying a zombie outbreak was in progress and the city was being over run with the walking dead.

After absorbing the news, we picked up our pace to return to my zombie fortress, (Yes folks, I have prepared for the zombie apocalypse) when a horde of zombies blocked our path.

The zombies spotted us and we stopped in our tracks. I tell Gumby that I was glad I decided to wear my Nike running shoes. Gumby, looking frightened out of his mind said, "It doesn't matter what type of shoes you're wearing dude, you're not going to outrun the horde. There's to many of them."

I replied back to Gumby after doing a few quick stretches, "I don't have to outrun the horde, I just have to out run you!"

PS: This is the Grassy Knoll Institute's 2000th post. How befitting it is during the Halloween season, posting about the Zombie outbreak, and me throwing Gumby under the bus. (His nick name is sled)

I want to thank everyone past, present, and future who have visited my secret lair and shared a few laughs with me. I truly appreciate it.

Happy Halloween

Zombie Fortress #1 - 2012

Zombie Safe House

October is Zombie Apocalypse preparedness month and the Grassy Knoll Institute is actively exploring several options available to survive when the outbreak occurs. To survive, your fortress must afford you the ability to come and go but have peace of mind that the Zombie horde cannot penetrate. Of course, we are using the original George Romero movie, Night Of the Living Dead type Zombies as our template.

Our first offering is an abandoned missile silo site. Please inspect the photo’s below to expose any weaknesses in this fortress and thought process. We will let you know in the comments before the outbreak does occur. We promise!

Is this a good choice for a Zombie fortress or are there better options out there. Remember, the outbreak can happen at any moment. In fact, it could already be in process right now. (I hope you are not at home sitting in the dark all alone right now.)

Happy Halloween

Zombie Apocalypse Fortress #2

.....

It's time to get serious about your Zombie apocalypse fortress. You never know when the Zombie horde will begin moving in your neighborhood. Having an impregnable fortress is only part of the equation to successfully survive a zombie apocalypse.

The zombie out break may last for months, even years until the zombie body breaks down enough to prevent mobility. Your fortress must not only be fortified from zombies, but also afford a small amount of normalcy to the survivor holed up in the structure.

Notice the photo on the top left. When there are no zombies in the immediate area, this fortress has the ability to open compartments to allow sunshine in, fresh air, to replenish supplies, to expel waste and allow a small semblance or normalcy.

Notice the photo on the right. When zombies are in the area, the compartments tightly seal preventing zombies from getting any traction whatsoever. The thick slick walls are sound proof preventing zombies from hearing what is happening inside. As time goes by, the zombies will lose interest in the fortress and move on to the next area.

Happy Halloween

Request For Ghost Hunters To Investigate

Dear Jason and Grant of Ghost Hunters. I am writing to you in hopes that your paranormal team can come to Youngstown, Ohio and investigate the basement in our just moved into office building.

Several weeks ago the Grassy Knoll Institute secured a larger building that became our secret lair and Zombie apocalypse fortress. However, we weren't the only tenants in the building.

As we began to clean the space and tear down several walls to fortify them we began noticing objects being misplaced. (Hammers, saws, bricks and mortar) At first we thought we had merely misplaced them ourselves in our hurried pace to complete the fortress outer structure. Until one evening we captured something startling on our perimeter webcam. It only last a second a two but it clearly shows an apparition floating around the doorway against the back wall.

We hope the Ghost Hunters team (TAPS) can assist in explaining the suspected paranormal happenings here at our warehouse before the Zombie Apocalypse begins. We don't want to be trapped inside with this entity.
Our scientists believe the Zombie Apocalypse will begin in Youngstown, Ohio on October 22nd right before sunset. Be prepared.

Happy Halloween

San Francisco Fog - Something Lurks Inside

Patty and I were in San Francisco recently and we stayed at the Holiday Inn on Van Ness Avenue. (BTW, the hotel restaurant was never open the entire 5 days we were there) Now I have heard tall tales about how thick and how fast the fog rolls in from the ocean. The three photographs below were taken from our hotel window, (What a view huh?) in the span of an hour. Now I believe.

Photo one: An almost clear view to the ocean and the city including the San Francisco cable cars can be easily seen. (Click the thumbnail for a much larger version)
Photo two: The fog rolls in quickly engulfing the city.
Photo three: Total immersion of the fog.

I told Patty we should hurry down to the street so we could meet Adrienne Barbeau, Jamie Lee Curtis and Janet Leigh. She looked at me puzzled like I had gone mad. I explained that San Francisco used to be an old fishing town built over an old leper colony and when the fog rolls in the former inhabitants (Zombies) come back and exact revenge.

That evening we had a hauntingly good time. The Fog is the true San Francisco treat.

Oldest Milky Way Candy Bar Discovered

Oldest Milky Way Candy Bar Ever

Every now and again I get that “Chocolate” urge and venture down the hallway to the Las Vegas vending machine. I call it Las Vegas for it’s a gamble if you receive something after you feed it money. I inserted my money and I selected the Milky Way candy bar. As the candy bar fell into the slot at the bottom I mumbled under my breath, “Winner, winner, chicken dinner.” The above photo is what I received. WTF!

Where the Hell did this candy bar come from? Had I somehow awoken in the future in a post apocalyptic zombie outbreak. If so, I’m lucky to have found a treasure such as this. I could now live to fight zombies another day.

Dejected, I went back to my office, placed the candy bar on my desk, took out my cell phone, and snapped this photo. I then sent it to the printer, 8X11 size in color. I then went back to the Las Vegas vending machine and taped the photo of the Milky Way candy bar on the glass where everyone can see.

It was on…

Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
