How about a conversation when going after the undead:
"How do you kill something that's already dead?"
"You don't, you just keep shooting it until it falls apart!"

Or fending off vampires:
"We will need faith in God to withstand these evil minions!"
"Reverend, God did his part when he inspired John Browning to build the 1911 and Winchester to load up Silvertips!"

Giant, alien, crustaceans a 'la "Independence Day"
"Y'know, these things ain't so bad once you get that hard shell off'n 'em. A .44 slug to the head, and then it's time to heat up the clarified butter and get the Tobasco sauce!"

Friday the 13th part 37:
"That sumbytch with the goalie mask and the machete sure was one big hoss!"
"He wasn't bigger than 3 200 grain XTP's in front of 6 grains of 231!"

and finally, the appropriate response to a zombie horde attacking:
"Here come a whole bunch of Zombies!"
"Around here, we call them 'crunchies'. Get in the tank, we're leaving in 2 mikes."

How about "Hey man, forget the headshots on the zombies.....lets see what
the NAPALM does to 'em!"

Last man alive to last woman alive after zombies/aliens/whatever: "well.....
now that THATS dealt with, we'd better see to repopulating the earth
ASAP........"

"Man lookit the way their heads just FLY RIGHT OFF when you hit 'em with
the .50 HE Rounds!"

"Yes sir, we did figure out that the chupacabras had natural armor plating impervious to our .223 munitions. So we stuck together in a group and shot it in the mouth/eye as it was making it's roar at us."

Just watched 'Chupacabras: Dark Seas', and was consistantly annoyed by the actions of the 'heros'. Come to think of it, I was annoyed by the actions of just about every character except the chupacabra, and I was reminded of why I don't watch horror flicks.

>Count Dracula: Where on Earth did you get a Stinger missile?<

I hate to point it out, but this was done in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Big demon thing gets brought to Sunnydale, and legend says "no blade forged of man can harm him". So she comes up with an anti-tank rocket...

Did we do the "Bell, Book and 20mm Recoilless Rifle" gag already?

My wife and I love that episode. Demon goes through his speech about no blade forged, Buffy raises the LAW or Dragon or whatever the hell it was and the demon says .. "OOo whats that do?" Loved that.

You DO have to admit that Joss can write a good script. That scene is priceless, especially Dru and Spike seeing the rocket and diving for cover while the Judge just stands there

Characters from here

pax and Springmom attending NRA convention, go out to dinner in a bad part of town. Of course a gang accosts them.
They offer the gang bangers early retirement.

Best I could come up with:

"I love the smell of zombie guts in the morning!"
"You like the smell of rotting meat and congealed bodily fluids?"
"Damn straight. Reminds me that I'm still alive."

--------------

"My god man, there's zombies all over the golf course! It's like they were in the middle of a game when they changed!"
"So we really don't have to worry about them moving fast, then. Find a golf cart... attach this chainsaw to the side, about waist height... oh, and take this shotgun. In case they're hungry."

--------------

"You ugly bastards look bored. Have a magazine!"

--------------

"You've been bitten."
"What if I kill myself now, but I wake up as a zombie anyway?"
"Then I'll tell you that you should have tried harder."

--------------

[during an intense firefight with the zombies closing in]
"Back in the normal run of things I always wished I could be the life of the party! Now I'm the center of attention, and the only one left who's technically alive!"
"THIS IS SO ****ED UP!"

I remember this from when it started, I spose I should feel a tad old.

I am surprised no one mentioned anything about testing their home brew reloads out.

And actually I am also surprised no one said something about going to the gun store to compare all the super expensive self defense rounds against the old technology that just keeps on putting bad guys down on the ground.

I still like my comment about launching runt into the problem area since she had an awful lot of stuff concealed in a pic in another thread back then.

Then again my girlfriend at the time who is now an ex made a comment about me letting the women do the work while I go check to see that the ice is melting properly in the beer cooler and the entire 12 oz beer is cool enough to consume without undo burping.

She never did buy that excuse I guess.
