Battle axes have so much momentum, though -- recovery's a bitch.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just wanna walk onto the train in the morning carrying one of those, with a crazy look in my eyes....
Carrying a fake sledgehammer got all the sidewalk traffic in Vegas, including the drunks, to give me plenty of extra elbow room walking down the street. If I weren't afraid of misunderstandings with the police, I'd take it with me everywhere.
I'm reasonably confident that I could crack someone's skull and squoosh the braiiiiiin underneath with a steel sledgehammer, but it's all too easy to imagine getting a sword or axe stuck halfway through a torso on a wild swing and ending up as zombie chow.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

We used to bring a real sledgehammer with us to softball tournaments, to use for warmups instead of a weighted bat. The opposing teams didn't like that much.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Heh. I remember one of the WW writers talking about having several squad cars show up when he was walking down the street wearing a fake sword while in costume on Halloween.
The opposing teams didn't like that much.
I wonder why?

Hey. New board.
I'd rather have a well-balanced baseball bat than a sledgehammer, for zombies or peaple. Less likely to miss and hit my own leg, crushing leg bones necessary for the running in the opposite direction that is actually my preferred method of dealing with attacking hordes of the undead.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Did the thread die and come back? Is that why we're talking about zombies?

Carrying fake rifles in downtown Detroit is always exciting. Even when the cops are close enough to see that they are plywood cutouts they get touchy.

I vote eighties record collection for weapon of choice.

Are the records being thrown at that the zombies like vinyl discs of doom or are they being played in the hopes the zombies will lose their will to un-live?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Both. Also, you can play a a catchy, danceable tune that is too fast for them to dance to. They will try to dance anyway, resulting in them eventually collapsing in exhaustion/frustration if their limbs don't fall off first.
