pbray: (Zombie)
[personal profile] pbray
Last month, the University of Florida at Gainesville demonstrated wit and a true sense of priorities, when their disaster preparedness webpage was updated to include plans to deal with attacks by flesh-eating, apparently life impaired individuals, or, in other words, zombies.

Alas, news of their zombie defense strategy brought them worldwide attention, and late yesterday the administration ordered the removal of the information. Most commentators theorized that this was a sign that the administrators lacked a sense of humor, but I can only conclude that the zombie invasion has already begun. Clearly the administration building was ground zero for the attack, which by now will be spreading across the campus.

Good luck, Gators! And my best wishes to the Floridians of Gainesville and the surrounding countryside! We'll be rooting for you...

...and stocking up on flamethrowers and chainsaws.

Such a public service, leading the way for less enlightened states!

I particularly liked the part of the plan where they couldn't decide if losing a significant portion of the admin people would make the function run slower, or streamline and speed it up. :-)

Reminds me of the joke about Megacorp and the troll that ate an executive a day outside Corporate HQ... and no one noticed.

Crud!

Now I wish I had printed it yesterday when I brought it up.

Various websites saved it for posterity, so you can find it via Google. But not quite the same as being able to see it live on their website.

Of course it's a conspiracy!

Anyone who's sat through a meeting with University Administration
*knows* that they're zombies...

Okay...

I just watched the Buffy episode, "Graduation" Part II. Somehow, I could totally picture a college version working at a Gainesville graduation. Only, with more zombies.

Everything I need to know about zombie defense, I learned from watching Buffy.

Come to think of it, Buffy pretty much taught you everything you needed to know about life.

Zombies versus Gators sounds like a Saturday night movie on the Sci-Fi channel.

Of course the gators would have to be real gators, and be 25' long, and both rampaging through Gainesville...
