And lo on Thu, 14 Feb 2008 15:42:33 -0000, Invisible <voi### [at] devnull> did

Not really. If it's a confined space then shotgun or grav-gun+sawblade; if  
it's not then the majority of zombies are slow enough to run past.

>>> Yeah, but if you miss, you now have no ammo. Good luck...

Yeah as I said when it works.

>>> Heh. And I thought *I* was strange for having a signed picture in my

I liked the film, I found it internally consistent.


> bought it...

She's not bad.

>> I've got the box-set and that sort of memory.

> My God - you have the boxed set of Xena?

Yup and all the Buffy's, B5's, and X-Files. Not to mention the GiTS:SACs,  
Blake's Seven (seasons 1-3) and the new Battlestar Galactica's. Note  
however how I don't mention Star Trek.

>>> Mildly amusing sometimes, yeah.
>>  Better then Charmed, more scantily clad women too.

> Heh. I hadn't really noticed...

Well actually thinking about the female stars in Charmed perhaps not so  
much so, more leather definitely - well maybe. Whips and swords though!
