Who’s your zombie apocalypse dream team?

Just a fun question that occurred to me today:  Out of all the people you know, which handful would you most rather be stranded with if the real, apocalyptic shit were to hit the fan?

(Not necessarily zombies - the idea isn't to pick for a specific skillset, but rather the people you know who you'd most trust in a full-scale redonkemergency.  And

How big is a "handful"? And what sort of apocalypse? Skill sets matter, damn it!

And just for reference, my Dream Team doesn't include me. I'd be rubbish in any sort of apocalypse. I'm a terrible shot, I've got the Brimley's, and most of my skills relate to computers or philosophy, neither of which are in particular demand should the world be ending.

*sigh* There's always a cantankerous rulebreaker! New rules just for you then:

- you HAVE to be on the team -- you're stuck in the apocalypse! I'm sure we'd all rather not be there, but suck it up. (If it makes you feel better, you aren't on MY dream team; how's that?)

- you don't get to know what it is -- say that you had a premonition or a hint that it was happening, but didn't know how. Pick the people who'd be the best in [insert horrid emergency here], understanding that like you, they have their weaknesses!

- you can pick the size of the handful -- pretend that you threw a dinner party in honor of your premonition; who would you invite?

I rather like the title "Cantankerous Rulebreaker"....

1. Me (And I should totally be on your dream team, because I rule.)
2. The Lovely Wife (because real doctors treat more than one species)
3. Sven, assuming he can bring his collection of firearms
4. John, because he's very handy
5. Cliff, who is like John but with electricity
6. You, because this clearly makes me the better friend. Also, *thbbbbpt*.
7-20. Diverse others to ensure a decent gene pool. You know, post-apocalyptic society and horrible mutants and all.
