furtechI love this meme...
You are in a mall when the zombies attack. You have:
1. one weapon.
2. one song blasting on the speakers.
3. one famous person to fight alongside you.
Weapon can be real or fictional, you may assume endless ammo if applicable. Person can be real or fictional.
1. one weapon: I originally chose a fully automatic shotgun (the Protecta), but if there are a LOT of zombies, my arms/shoulders would be mush in about two minutes...so instead, I'd go with the American-180 submachine gun. The American-180 fires .22lr at about 1,500 rpm creating a stream of destruction, with minimal pain to the shooter. It's the closest thing to a beam-blaster we have today. If the weapon can be fictional, then Niven's "Soft Weapon" (basically a god-weapon blaster).
2. one song blasting on the speakers: Bach's Orchestral Suite no. 3 in D Major (best known for " Air on a G String. ") Just like a classic John Woo movie...violence and elegance.
3. one famous person to fight alongside you: no hesitation-- Gov. Arnold! More specifically, one of the characters he plays-- probably the Terminator! or his character in "Eraser" or "True Lies").
My "real person" choice for #3 turns out to be oddly mutual: Steve G. While not "famous", we both agree that the result would be very much like an "Abbot and Costello" movie. Too much so... so music would have to be different, too-- probably more "R. Crumb" or noveltyhillbilly Bluegrass music. Lots of banjos.
Last bit of funny-- I read this on someone's profile and was reminded why George Carlin was such a genius:
"Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man…living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer and burn and scream until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you and he needs money." George Carlin
And no-- no beef with any religion...just thought it was funny!

As for the music selection, excellent! I adore extreme acts of badass violence set to classical music in movies.
