Zombie Roundup
Wednesday, April 1, 2009 at 9:33PM I'm having a busy week and I don't really have my poop in a group to pull together a REAL post, so I thought I would share with you the things that people share with me.
That's right, the zombie things. That people send me. Because obviously they all really hate me.
For instance, did you know there is an entire organization dedicated to zombie preparedness? That's right, I'm not the ONLY whack job out there. Other people think dead things are coming to get them, too, and they're even going so far as to put together task forces. With tanks. And face shields, for the ones that like to nibble.
Peggy knows I like to read, I mean who could miss my rave review of World War Z? So she sent me this link to Pride and Prejudice (and zombies). Didn't think Jane Austen did zombies? Oh yeah, you were wrong. So very wrong. I think I'd seen that before but this time I actually read a few pages and...d'oh. I may have to buy it.
I'll be sending Peggy a bill for the therapy required after that.
Robin at Cinnamon & Honey figures me for a stiletto girl, so she sent me a link to these: Zombie high heels. Possibly she also thinks I'm a drag queen?
A while back Erin, the Head Bag Lady at Durtbagz, sent me a link to her new 'zombie crossing' t-shirts. Because obviously, zombies have the right of way. Unless you're driving the tank. Then I think you win.
And, just in case you thought this was all getting too silly, here are 5 Scientific Reasons a Zombie Apocalypse Could Actually Happen. Because that kind of information is EXACTLY what someone with my fear and rabid imagination needs.
You're welcome.

I'm off to find something zombie AND spider related to forward you now. You're welcome.
Hey I just started reading World War Z, I asked the lady at the book store for it and she had no idea what it was, when she located it for me she looked at the cover and said "Oh my" and kinda shoved it at me...I guess zombies aren't for everyone!!!
I need those shoes.
um.. yeah.. that's me up there.
the hubs was hacking my machine again.
To totally ignore Zombies in plain English is just sacrilege.
Here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVnfyradCPY
I don't want you to be unprepared.
I have to say I'll skip the links. What I don't know can't hurt me. I'd rather be surprised.
oh! Poor Keely! I hope that you can sleep after looking at all of those links!
So I started reading this, but I had to take a shower, so I stopped reading it because I knew I would be looking for any movement outside my bathroom window. And now I had to stop reading the links because I am supposed to be going to bed. But I am certain I will be up forever listening for the slightest crack of a twig. Damnit! Maybe I should just have a very strong cocktail!
Thank you for sharing your new found knowledge and warnings with us. I am always one to be prepared
So I'm not actually going to read the 5 reasons because I'm a wuss, but it freaks me out to know there are 5 out there.
Yeah, I'm gonna be needing your address cuz I'm totally sending you that book! TeeHee...If you can't sleep, you'll probably be up writing and, well, that just benefits everyone. Your welcome internet!
ok ... i'm just gonna leave and pretend that this never happened ok? 'cause i really don't need anything else to freak out about in my life right now. mm-k? bye.

Here ya go Keely! I saw FoN's suggestion about spiders & zombies...and I found a linky just for you!!
and I love that t-shirt...
Just when I thought that I was going to have a bad day, you post about zombies and I am happy again!
Thanks! (Yes, I am weird...)
We work in Detroit. Bear and I have an elaborate plan if we ever win the lottery. We are going to pay bums and hobos to dress up like zombies and have the worlds largest paint ball tournament.
Somehow, my home seems to have zombie repellant. Never seen one around here. So I'm ahead of the game, right?
Eh...all you really need to survive the zombie apocalypse are
1: the location of the nearest WalMart/Target/other supercenter (preferably one that has both a grocery/dry goods section and a sporting goods section)
2: a really big truck to get you there
Just avoid the malls - lots of stores but too many entrances!
Didn't Captain Dumbass mention something about Pride & Prejudice with Zombies...? I think he did, a few months back. Ha! I'll have to check out the stilettos!
I've got enough crime in my area to worry about zombies too. I'll stay away from those links and books and shirts.
Ah Keely, I knew I could count on you for more zombie info.
I live for it these days.
Gah.
do the zombies from shawn of the dead count? cuz their my fav
;-)
Hey, at least this drag queen would have some frickin' awesome shoes! :)
Damn it! I found an awesome zombie picture I was going to send you the other day but forgot.

BTW, I told my sister, Melanie D (2nd comment) about WWZ and apparently she doesn't listen to me at all. Bitch!
You can never be too prepared, I say. I'm heading over to buy my face shield now....
Wait. Tell me you've never heard of a Zombie March. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_walk
People dress up and flood the streets as zombies.
