    Hypothetical zombie question

    OK, I am dragging us away from the accursed great football schedule debate! I was watching tv today and a sudden bolt of inspiration hit me. What if you were in the mall during the "ageless" zombie pandemic. Things are pretty scary outside, huh?

    Well, worry no more! You get to choose who else gets to hold the mall with you! Who would you rather have around, the A-Team or Dutch and the boys (from Predator)?

    This is important...maybe not as important as a high school football schedule that is on screen for 1.05 seconds...but important to your theoretical survival. Think of the downtime too.

    Who would YOU choose?

    A true question for the ages!

    This is important...
    I know, I already agreed with you in my above sentence!

    What ever will the Venn diagrams and magic 8 balls have to say about this doozy of a question? Personally, I have to meditate on it...maybe even do a match up of the personnel involved, if someone doesn't beat me to it. I have a feeling that the inventiveness of the A-Team may just win out, what with the limited resources of a forlorn world on the brink...but they couldn't shoot for shit, so who knows...

    dutch and the predator team. jesse the body could mow down entire hordes of zombies with that cannon he was using.

    but why bother with the A-team or dutch when chuck norris could defeat the entire zombie apocalypse single handedly?

    Yeah, my first thought was that if I needed a team of guys to help me shoot and KILL things, the A-Team would be about last on my list. I am sure I saw them expend THOUSANDS of rounds, but they never killed anything.

    Yeah, but Jesse ain't got time to bleed....

    I would have to go with the Predator team on this one. They may be a little more unruly and undisciplined than the A-Team, and have less inventiveness unfortunately, but they could at least hit targets.

    Me, personally, I would take the A-Team. I'm pretty confidant we could secure the mall with what was available inside. Also, I think Hannibal could come up with a valid escape plan if need be.
    Besides, if those bikers showed up, I think the A-Team could handle the situation well enough. Remember, there would be plenty of downtime too...I think I would get along with the A-Team better.

    See? No pie charts, magic 8 balls, ouija boards or late night phone calls to George Romero! Piece of cake.

    Definetly the Predator team, much for the same reasons Philly stated. The A-Team can't shoot worth a damn.

    Man... I hate all these guys! What a choice... I'd have to pick... my friends, because they have a Zombie Plan.

    Definitely Dutch and the other soldiers from Predator.

    Zombies can't fuck with a gun that can clear the rainforest within 30 seconds...






    ..See...because of the echo...

    Go Go Team Predator.

    While I am disappointed someone already beat me to the 'I ain't got time to bleed reference", they are the best choice.

    First they do not have lame theme music playing every time they go into a mission the way the A team does.

    That 70/80s style van would provide poor defense from an all out assault by the living dead.

    None of their members are afraid of flying. Who wants to drug BA, and then carry him out of a zed infested LZ?

    Indeed they never killed anyone in years on television.

    Face was just too damn pretty.

    There would only be so many cigars going around in a post zombie Apocalypse world. How PO'sd do you think Col. John 'Hannibal' Smith would be doing 3 months into the outbreak? NIC FITS that's how, and none too pretty ones at that.

    Also Murdock is insane and therefore a liability.

    Lastly compare the types of fire arms preferred by both teams.

    On one hand you have the A Team..
    and on the other... real men.

    Hell ya! I would pick them based on Carl alone based off that one shot, and hell I love Jessee. Sure he used to wear a pink boa but so what. He is still a bad mamma jamma.

    Wait a minute....Carl Weathers wasn't a part of Dutchs team! That's cheating. He was only with them for the Predator movie, so you can't count him with the team. No Dillon.

    About the A-Team...I would insist upon the teams theme song to be played whenever action was required. How cool would that be? Shooting zombies to the A-Team theme! 80's style putting stuff together montage as the theme plays! I think we'd have to have a midget with a boom box follow us around.

    Besides, H.M. Murdock is a pilot, so we could fly in and out. Thats one thing Dutch doesn't have...a pilot. D'Oh!
