Can't wait until Max Brooks' (Mel's son) book World War Z is done with it's film adaptation. Some pretty big money was fighting over the dev rights back in 2006 and the insiders working on it claim that it's an epic up there with Lord Of The Ring. If they stay true to the book it would have to be.; 7/12/10, 3:43 PM

And if they violate that dress code, then the death penalty certainly seems to be a light punishment. I remember that Marxists like to brag that they were Dead Men Walking? I suggest Sarah Palin is the best antidote available.; 7/12/10, 4:05 PM

William said...: As a working class, Irish Catholic I am often offended by the way flesh eating zombies are portrayed in the movies. Compare the way hot chicks treat vampires with their reaction to flesh eating zombies. "Oh, Mr. Vampire, does this moonlight make my neck look too long and swanlike." They just can't wait to join the ranks of the vampire undead. But when flesh eating zombies show up, they grab the shotgun and splatter his brains without a second's hesitation. I don't say that the personal hygiene of flesh eating zombies is beyond reproach, but this does not justify such harsh treatment. America would be a better country if hot chicks treated vampires with a little more discrimination and zombies with a little less.; 7/12/10, 4:14 PM

She and the other Idol singers are on tour, but nowhere near Portland. Probably the crash victims were not Siobhan fans, but dressed that way for other urgent, compelling reasons known only to them..

Must be fun for the ER staff though - even morefun if the cops and ambulance people give them now heads up - just start wheeling the zombie victims in. "Real or fake blood coming out of this ones mouth, Doc? You decide." "I think this one's acually dead. But how can you tell??"; 7/12/10, 4:16 PM

So do most fairer skinned Asians. Dead blacks are a lovely blend of brown and pale gray.

The movies make dead black zombies look darker than actual dead blacks are.

Not to make fun of the dead, but a car full of blacks that rolled off the road and were in full rigor mortis when found and retrieved was a darkly comical sight. Stretchers were not made for bodys in those positions. Nor FD people really good handling corpses still in a seated position once out of their seats.; 7/12/10, 4:26 PM
Anonymous said...: I tell you folks... you'd better heed my warnings... it's Marxist Democrats vs. Zombie Republicans for control of America.

It's important to remember how to neutralize them:
Removing the head or destroying the brain.
It works for either one-- Zombies or Marxists!

Expect to see more Zombies in the lead up to November. We're already chock-full of Marxist nuts.; 7/12/10, 4:46 PM
