Just on Flemish radio, reports that he became undead today at age 112. Will post more when I find it. Don’t shoot the messenger when the rumour’s wrong please. ---

Ah, crap. Looks like I’ve been hoaxed. Apparently, the site http://www.generalissimofranciscofrancohasbecomeazombieandwanderstheearthinsearchofbrains.com is fake. Guess it’ll be a while before he rises from the grave to terrorize the living and eat their tasty brains. Damn pranksters. :o I’ll have **Coldfire** edit the thread title accordingly.

:rolleyes: It had been a long time since you did the attention whoring thing. I was actually impressed with you for a while. Too bad you couldn’t keep it up. ---

😕 Why is posting a humorous parody in MPSIMS attention whoring? I wasn’t making fun of **Coldfire** , just using his thread as a joke vehicle. I’m sorry if you didn’t find it funny. I did. Generalissimo Francisco Franco is now undead? 😃 Please, don’t stop enjoying my posts. ---
