I was working on this week's further entries - all scholarly and lah-dee-dah. I even went through Dr. Stone's book on Original Enlightenment again! Yellow markers and notes in the margin....I was all ready to "wow" everybody with my fabulous research.....and then...and then....
My boss had a book in her bookshelf......
It was
I took it off the shelf....I opened it up...I began to read.....
Oh, God, no, no!!!! (gurgle, gurgle, slurp, moan, gurgle)
I'm an intellectual! I'm intelligent! I'm not supposed to get sucked into books like this! What about my reputation!?!?!?
Oh, God, no!
The zombies, the zombies......the Zed Heads, the Dead...known to American Marines as "Zack".....not "Charlie"....Zack....
Don't fall asleep on the ground, or they will find you and shred you! You have to destroy their brains or they keep coming at you. Thousands of them, lurching in hordes, sinking to the bottom of the ocean and not dying....eyeballs dangling....viscera dripping....still they come, still they clutch...grabbing at any human they can and devouring her alive until the poor human dies and becomes....Oh, God - no!
One of the walking dead!
Some of them died behind the wheels of their cars, strapped in, and they become the horrible, dreaded "grabbers", who are too stupid to undo their seat belts but strong enough to grab a passing mortal and take a healthy bite of the poor person's arm! Gnawing him to the bone as he screams! ! Infecting him with the virus! And that can only mean......another one of the walking dead!
Regular weapons don't work....true heroes are the ones who go at the undead with axes and cleavers and split their seething skulls! Smashing the black, viscous residue of their brains!
Agggghhhhh!!!!!
I'm a Buddhist! I'm a pacifist! Victory Over Violence!
Gurgle, gurgle, slurp, slurp.....
Help...help....zombies....ate....my...ichinen......
Be human, be safe, be cool

Posted by: Michele at May 17, 2007 06:04 PMI dunno - any bookseller, I guess. I will re-animate my ichinen over the weekend.
Yer pal, Byrd in LA
Posted by: Byrd in LA at May 18, 2007 08:50 AMI love that book! I read it last year - and I hear a movie is coming out. It's by the same author who earlier did the Zombie Survival Guide which is also worth checking out.
Since my daughter and I play a zombie tabletop game (where you have to get through a city full of zombies and make it to the helicopter before the other players or before your shotgun ammo runs out - Monopoly has nothing on this game - this book really grabbed my attention.
Oh, and there is even an audio CD of the Zombie War so you can drive around and listen to it - or better yet listen to it on the headphones at work while doing brain numbing data entry.
Brains! Brains! Yummm!

Ryuei,
Any podcasts out there? Sounds like perfect fodder for the morning commute....
And, Byrd... you're in the City of Sin down there Hollywood way... you may have something there with this "Zombies Ate My Ichinen" plot....Maybe your ichinen has just gone under cover and is looking for another source of cash flow for you... (wink wink, nudge nudge).
