Velociraptors.
I do this with zombies. The place Nick and I live right now would be absolutely indefensible against zombies - damn picture windows. My old apartment on Broadway was better, but I don't know how long one can really hope to barricade a wooden door from the '40s against a hall full of the shambling undead.

I say we fling watermelons at them to distract them! With a TREBUCHET.

Or some sort of FUNK BOMB.

Our place is a buffet table for velociraptors and zombies. Basement apartment. :/

Also, we have a second-floor apartment with one narrow stairway for access. Plus my one housemate and myself have nice sharp things (machetes, swords) relatively handy. We'd be okay against zombies.

Velociraptors, however, would be a problem. Lil' bastards can JUMP.

I think we have shovels. I think that's all we have.
I liked watching Nick play Dead Rising and explaining to him why a weapon with a long reach is always better when dealing with zombies- what, they don't teach these things at Brown?

I once laid awake at night scaring myself thinking of how zombie-proof my apartment is. It's a garage apt, so there's only the one doorway at the bottom and therefore pretty zombie safe, I think. With proper supplies Mark and I could hold out well, especially since we're in the country and so it may take awhile for the undead masses to reach us.

Hopefully it would hold up well against velociraptors. I think our windows would be above jumping range...

I can't even think about velociraptors. At least with zombies you can hold out until your hideout is penetrated (hard for silly purposeless zombies to do) or you have to leave it, but velociraptors will find you anywhere. =_=
(XKCD has a series of hilarious raptor comics.)

You had an apartment on Broadway? Was that your secret life?

[ursako]

Okay, fine, OLD MAN. So it wasn't actually ON Broadway. Way to ruin my hipster cred.
