15 years ago, the greatest thread TD has ever seen began

RIP to The Great Zombie Manifesto (frick you, Chicken, for allowing it to disappear into the depths of internet hell).

For those not around back then (which is most of you at this point), it was one of the biggest threads the site had seen and was remarkably on-topic after dozens of pages, which was no small feat back then. It discussed a very wide variety of details and strategies to follow should the ZA (Zombie Apocalypse) ever come to fruition.

IIRC, the meeting place was Tiger Stadium, with plans of how to further fortify it and make it safe. There would be tunnel and catwalk systems to accommodate the whores (which was no longer derogatory toward women, but affectionate). There were plans to raid outlying supply centers and whatnot. Mike the Tiger will be a line of defense, as will a moat around the field if TS were to ever be infiltrated. And the last line of defense was blasting Thriller over the loudspeakers and then killing the zombies as they lined up and danced.

I used to have a cliffnotes version of the thread, but I think I threw it out when I left my last job. I do have most of the thread saved into a Word document though, and it's still a pretty entertaining read.

Anyway, I realize that most of you won't have any idea what I am talking. So just know that fifteen years ago marked arguably the greatest achievement TD has ever seen.
