Rage for the fast ones.
Otherwise shuffle as noted.

I think the 'load' option is missing a modifier.

A birght, young Belgian reporter and his plucky dog Snowy seek out adventure and danger while traveling all around the world. That is, until a waffle of zombies storms the building.

Just kidding. I like the irony of an "assemblage" of zombies.

"Congress" brought a smirk to my lips.

"Bleeped text-load" is missing.

I almost voted for "congress", but then I remembered that zombies prize brains and have a goal in mind.

Brent2751111 May 2012 5:52 a.m. PST

I voted for Congress, for Blue Fez reasons.

Bleeped text Load works best.

Congress. Without a doubt.

Yes followed by a government of ghouls

Easy, rush hour in any major metro area.

Congress. Without a doubt.

I would never stoop to insulting zombies with such a term.

Dave Jackson Supporting Member of TMP12 May 2012 5:03 a.m. PST

C'mon guys….its obviously a "shamble"……

Scorpio12 May 2012 6:07 a.m. PST

The Walking Dead comic explains the formation of a 'herd' (and they sort of show that in season two.) Nonetheless, I prefer 'horde.'

Frederick Supporting Member of TMP12 May 2012 8:57 a.m. PST

Shamble or Shuffle sounds good

What about Ramble?

Grand Duke Natokina12 May 2012 12:59 p.m. PST

A bunch will suffice for me.

Stronty Girl Fezian13 May 2012 4:03 a.m. PST

How about a Rot of Zombies?

If you have been to Bedford (UK) you will know a collection of zombies is call 'the bus station'

Nothing on earth could come between them. That is, until a legion of zombies storms the building.

Casablanca:

They had a date with fate in Casablanca! That is, until a legion of zombies storms the building.

Kung Fu Panda:

He's not a big fat panda… he's THE big fat panda! That is, until a legion of zombies storms the building.

The Greatest Story Ever Told:

The Greatest Story Ever Told. That is, until a legion of zombies storms the building.

Dawn of the Dead:

When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth. That is, until a legion of zombies storms the building.

Yes, this is fun!

Its five-year mission: to explore strange, new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before… That is, until a legion of zombies storms the building.
