Hey, when the zombies attack, and you pick up your gun, only to find that the clip has been emptied, listen for me. I'll be the guy whistling in the corner.

She did that with a rolling pin?
Oh the pain.
If I could find the laughing simile, I'd use it, so just pretend it's here.

I suppose an insurance policy with Reva and I as beneficiaries is out of the question?

My mother gave me some of her cast iron frying pans.
But she always liked my husband more than she liked me, so I knew I couldn't use them.
But my daughter will be getting them someday.
Now that I think about it, the pans would be good weapon against zombies - if I run out of ammo.

I interrupt the previous thread drift to point out that Laura Ingalls' horse is indeed a health risk for the little tike. The OP is right, we really do need to focus on those poor Ingalls girls.

In any given year, we may have a few cases of rabies found in wild animals in the community. But this year, local health officials are seeing it in horses. This poses a special risk.
It's almost always deadly and that's reason enough for health officials to closely monitor rabies – a viral infection that causes fatal encephalitis.
"Someone gets infected, the muscle gets infected then it gets into the nerve tissue and then it travels to the brain," says Dr. Robin Churchill, a pediatric infectious disease physician with The Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida.
We usually associate the threat in wild animal, such as bats, raccoons, skunks and foxes. But another source is living among us.
"Horses can acquire rabies. Usually about one horse a year in Florida acquires rabies," says Dr. Churchill.
This year is exceptional. In a matter of weeks, two horses in southwest Florida died from rabies.
"This year already in this area we've had two horses, one in Hendry County and one in Lee County. We don't know if that's gonna be a trend or if that's just a coincidence," says Dr. Churchill.
Horses aren't required to get a rabies vaccination because they aren't considered domestic animals. But that doesn't stop people from treating them like pets.
"Sure, she'll nibble. They love to lick the salt off of you, says Anne Peters, a local stable owner.
Anne Peters gives riding lessons and boards horses at her North Fort Myers barn. She's acutely aware of the rabies risk.
"Oh yes, absolutely. If a horse is bitten by an animal that has rabies, it goes up their spinal cord, right to their brain and neurologically affects them. And it goes into their saliva glands and you're putting a bridle in their mouth and dealing with their saliva. It puts horse owners, veterinarians, (horse neighs in back) anybody who's around the horse at danger," says Peters.
Sixteen people had a series of post-exposure shots after coming in contact with one of the diseased horses.
"You do have to have the immunoglobulin injected into the site of the wound, if there's a wound. And then you get a series of four intramuscular vaccinations," says Dr. Churchill.
The odds of a person getting rabies is slim, but the risk is there.
"Even if the horse is sick, they really don't think of that. And a lot of people can be exposed," says Dr. Churchill.

I have actually been bitten by a horse. Can it be that I'm in a state of incubation? Will I be locked in a confinement room with Laura? Or an outhouse?
Wait, at least I'll be protected from some of the violent women on this forum. I feel better already.

Rabid Raccoon Attacks Person in Bathroom: Officials
Public health officials are warning local residents after they say a person was attacked by a rabid raccoon while inside a public bathroom.

Public health officials are warning local residents after they say a person was attacked by a rabid raccoon while inside a public bathroom. It happened last Thursday at the Wissahickon Valley Park near the Valley Green Inn. Officials say the raccoon was trapped and tested for rabies while the victim is currently undergoing treatment to prevent rabies infection. Officials now say laboratory tests have confirmed the rabies infection in the raccoon.
Anyone who has been bitten or scratched by a raccoon while visiting the park should seek medical attention immediately. Officials are also asking anyone who recently visited the park to identify anyone who may have been bitten or scratched by the animal.
All raccoons are potential carriers of rabies. Officials say dogs that have not been vaccinated may be at risk. If you notice any unexplained wounds on your dog you should take your pet to a veterinarian immediately. You should also make sure your pets have up-to-date vaccinations, confine them to your home or yard and walk them on a leash.
“Raccoons, bats, feral cats, and other animals living in the wild may carry rabies,” said Health Commissioner Donald F. Schwarz. “Bites and scratches inflicted by wild animals or stray dogs and cats must be considered as possible rabies exposures and brought to medical attention immediately for thorough evaluation. Without prompt preventive treatment, rabies in humans is fatal nearly one hundred percent of the time.”
Never approach or touch wild animals or unknown pets as most animals will attack if threatened or cornered. Avoid strange animals even if they seem friendly and never try to get a wild animal to eat food from your hand. Finally, feed your pets inside your house and keep your garbage inside tightly closed trash containers.
Officials say no cases of rabies were reported in Philadelphia’s animal population between 1948 and 1989. Since 1989 however, officials say there have been 61 recorded cases of rabies in animals. If you have been bitten or scratched by an animal, seek medical care immediately or call the health department at 215-685-6748.
My question is this: what in the world were those poor Ingalls girls doing in the Philadelphia area? And why weren't they supervised properly when using the outhouse?

Well, clearly they were there for a Philly Cheesesteak and a Rita's, but why on earth did they bring Rocky racoon with them?

Pennsylvania is apparently in a state of crisis. First there’s rabies in their outhouses, and now zombies are committing vehicular crimes. Next thing you know, the Steelers are eating their fans and the ownership comes up with a Shotgun Sunday giveaway promotion to keep the fans coming. Oh the humanity!
'ZOMBIE' vanity plate leads to Pa. stun gun arrest
Police: Plate made her easy to track down

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania woman who allegedly hit a man with a stun gun during a pedestrian hit-and-run was arrested after police say her vanity license plate made her easy to track down.
Allentown police say Yardley Joy Frantz was promptly arrested Friday after witnesses spotted her "ZOMBIE" license plate.
Investigators say Frantz ran into a man and his nephew with her car around 7 p.m., then zapped the man's son with a stun gun after he confronted her.
The Morning Call of Allentown reports Frantz claimed she didn't know who had been driving her car.
Frantz is free on bail as she faces charges including aggravated and simple assault. A phone number for her could not immediately be located.

You know, those poor Ingalls girls wouldn't be in such trouble if they had borrowed a rolling pin from you before they went to the outhouse.

The wdwmagic family may be a bit dysfunctional as we argue about minutiae, but we are one well-oiled machine when it comes to a zombie defense strategy. I never thought that I would shout these words, but, "The Mom, get your frying pan ready, we're charging the rabid zombie hoards!"
