Randomness

Excellent advice, Slash. Definitely be sure to avoid any ironic death. If you truly enjoy killing zombies (and who wouldn't?), keep your overwhelming joy to yourself, lest you become a posterchild for ironic death.
For that matter, avoid the regular death too.

Regarding comments, yesterday. Even though a gun may prevent hand-to-hand combat, I'd still feel a lot better knowing I can actually hit someone. At the very least, it would be less embarrassing in class.
