If the world was over-run by man eating zombies where would you hide,i would hide out in a mall for sure.
An underground bomb shelter stocked to the max with water, food, lots of guns and even more ammo!

If you can have all that stuff at your disposal in a moments notice, ASHTHECAT, then I'm choosing to hide on a futureistic moon base, overlooking zombie controlled earth.
There's a Cabela's not too far from me, in Dundee MI. Lots of guns and ammo and food. Plus it's a big store, so there'll be lots of room to encounter and kill zombies
A place with plenty of food and beverage,comic books, video games, movies weapons and ammo.
2 places: On the roof of my house
and at an NRA convention. Zombies wouldnt make it past the snack bar.
I would hide inside of John Kerry... They would never think of looking there. ; )
I can't even set foot into a mall anymore without assessing its pros and cons as an anti-zombie fortress. If I were hiding in a mall, it would have to have two floors, easy roof and parking garage access and stores with decent shutters. Malls and hospitals seem like the best and worst places to be. Plenty of food, lots of space, readily available medical supplies - but also a potential nexus for a zombie outbreak.
The Olympic Mountains, or maybe a boat or one of the islands in the Puget Sound. More likely just the nearest multiple story building. I still can't go into a grocery story without thinking of Omega Man (which food would still be good). If 28 Days Later is a zombie movie, then that probably is too.
Come ahhhhhhhhn, caption this:

If you can't beat them, join em' I say! Go all Invasion of the Body Snatchers and just pretend you are one of them. I'm sure we would all learn to love the taste of raw human flesh after a while!
Hmmm... since I live in a city where gun shops are fairly hard to come by, most people don't have cellars that can be converted into makeshift bomb shelters and malls don't seem too secure, I'm fairly certain my lack of ingenuity and laziness will result in my transformation into one of the undead in a very short pace. After all, not everyone is going to be a survivor!
But hey, it's not all bad, the work is fairly easy, you don't really have to be an intelligent conversationalist, and if you learn how to duck when people shoot at you, I'm sure being a zombie would be fairly care-free work.
I just hope we get dental.
In some sort of fortified underground facility. With plenty of food, water and guns and ammo.
That's the most realistic response yet. :)
Since this would be an on-going problem that would probably never be solved, the only thing you can do is to try and control it by eliminating all the dead and then being especially careful to take care of anyone else who dies. Unfortunately, this wouldn't be possible in a large city where the dead would probably outnumber the living. I think the best course of action would be to head to an island where you can be sure there are no zombies wandering around. Then, unless you're close enough to the mainland for the dead to detect that you're on the island, you have nothing to worry about. Of course we don't know if zombies could swim, or even walk along the bottom of the ocean to reach the island, but even if they could, there wouldn't be any incentive for them to do so unless they smelled food.
Where would you hide if the world was going to be run by George Bush for another 4 years?
My Mother-in-Law and I both, independently, came up with the only sensible answer to this :
Mars. If someone could give us a lift, that would be great.
It's only a matter of time until Mars will be invaded. Just you wait.
But just imagine, a zombie-president! Many may be smart alecs and say that that is the current one, but just imagine an actual zombie president.
That would make things quite interesting indeed
Where would you hide if the world was going to be run by George Bush for another 4 years?...Mars.
George Bush has a plan to go to Mars :)
He really talked about a plan to go to Mars earlier this year. But he never explained how he was going to fund it, and no mention was made of it again.
As to the OP, there's a local "tourist attraction" tower that's being renovated. During the various attempts to make it popular there have been restaurants located there, and will be when the new version opens, so food and water on a limited basis especially if the power holds out. Limited access once you're up top, just an elevator and a staircase for maintenance and emergency use. Metal construction, so as long as the zombies aren't too smart or too organized it would be good for a short term siege. Unless they are smart enough to build siege engines, find and use explosives, or fly aircraft it's hard to attack there. The water problem would be the main problem with long term use.
For anything longer I'd scout out some of the local leftover fallout shelters (the neraby post office for one), and some churches I know of that have underground areas like cellars and classrooms. There's also a Knights of Columbus hall that could work.
One of the poles, or high in the andean/himalayan mountains!
The effing space shuttle is effing being effing fazed effing out, that's why the Hubble telescope might not be maintained. So the money that we're currently pouring down the rathole of our shuttle program to hug the shore in an exploding rowboat would be diverted to into a REAL space program. That's why he didn't say we're going next week, it's not supposed to start until after the shuttle's fazed out. So essentially, the Mars shot should cost NOTHING (although we should probably expect some over-runs).
The island idea kind of sounds like the end of the "Day of the Triffids" book. I'm not sure if the title of the book was the same as the movie title.
Forget hiding. I'd be a chainsaw away from all my fantasies that involve me wearing pants coming true.
A mall in Texas... yes, I'm ripping off the idea.
The mall would be in Texas because of the mass amounts of weapons they sell there- it's freakin astounding!
Per the Zombie Survival Guide. As close to the Arctic as possible. The Zombies cant reach you because they'd all freeze, and eventually after years have gone by and they've all hopefully deteriorated or starved the world then belongs to the survivors, which of course will be you, your party, and unfortunately all the government officials who abandoned their people and went into hiding in their nuclear shelters. Of course the years of isolation would probably turn you and your party into a raving bunch of cannibal maniacs so you might be able to make easy work of them provided they didnt keep much military with them. So slap on the face paint, jump in your dune buggy, load the machine gun, file your teeth and get ready for a party! bonapatite!
I wouldn't hide. I would just stay in my house, living my life as usual. But, as soon as I heard a noise outside, I would go out into the back yard and say, "Who's out there?" Then, as soon as I heard the noise again, I'd walk across the yard and into the forest and say, "Come on guys . . . stop fooling around." Then a zombie would eat me, just like in the movies. (It would be better if I were a female, because then I could perform the above acts wearing a sheer neglige . . . just like in the movies).
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks of this all the time. If a zombie outbreak occurs I have a plan for level of outbreak, type of zombie, etc. If a real natural disaster occurs I'm screwed.
