It's called media desensitization. When the zombie apocalypse arrives in 2012, you'll be glad you were prepared.

He says he'd like to be a professional zombie exterminator, and he's narrowed down his list of questions he'd ask the client at first phone contact that would help him ascertain just what kind of zombie he'd be dealing with.

I am prepared for the coming zombie invasion. I have taken note of every grocery story along my work commute that has barred windows and doors. They are the places you want to hole up. Thousands of rounds of ammo + grocery store = surviving the invasion.

And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Simon, a person rarely gets an opportunity to tell you that you have an incomplete knowledge of a subject. Here's a link to wikipedia, a good place for you to start to maybe learn something.s1m0n wrote:The smell.mutepointe wrote:What is it with us and Zombies? I know what it is with me.

If that Voodoo Zombie showed up over 10 years after they died, there could not have been much decomposition if the family still recognized the person. And if the townfolk didn't mention nothing about the smell, perhaps there wasn't one. Geesh Simon. Read a book or something.

Re: Odd News
Way back in the 80s, when my life was taking a *very* different path, I found myself living for a few months in a house in Parkdale (a then run-down and dangerous part of Toronto) with several other men, one of whom I'd befriended in a bar, and all of whom were a couple of decades older than I. As you might imagine, not one us was doing all that good a job at the game of life.
One of the guys had the two attic rooms, along with about a dozen (or maybe more likely four) cats. He had no litter box, and the cats didn't go outside. It *really* stank. No one else ever went there, or even tolerated him leaving the door open at the bottom of the stairs.
Apart from that, tho, he was a lovely guy. A one-time journalist (he'd have said "newspaperman") working for Canada's finest broadsheet, who'd finally drunk his way out of a field as drunk-tolerant as that. He could be funny, witty, interesting, whatever. What he couldn't be was on the ball enough to clean up the sh*t.
"How can you live up there?" one of my other roommates asked.
"That's easy!" he said, opening another beer. "I get to the top of the stairs, and it hits me, and I think 'that stinks!' And then about a minute later I stop noticing the smell, and I'm good until the next time I come back downstairs..."

Re: Odd News
It's so easy to laugh when it's not YOUR life - uh, whatever. Zombies face all sorts of difficulties and prejudices, and as has already been admitted here, are trafficked in for domestic work and abuse. Even animals have rights. Zombies should have rights, too. A march for Zombie rights was protested by Pirates, and there are a lot of Pirates here at C&F. Pirates get to sail where they're not wanted and pillage and go "Arr", and no one here says a thing. But the Zombies continue to be oppressed, and it's only because the're sort of dead that this is complacently perpetuated and ignored for what it is.s1m0n wrote:I suppose he could move in next door to a tannery.
