Wait, are we walking about the Romero-style shuffling zombie or the new, modern methamphetamine zombie?

And also, how the hell is it that I know how to spell “methamphetamine”?

Lastly, why am I asking questions (which, by their very nature, invite response) when I’m trying to kill this thread?

Pardon me, Deputy Death. “Thank you” is actually two words. I thought you’d like to know.

Unless you were going for an Elvis-like “thankyewverymuch” kind of gestalt, but that’s an entirely different thing altogether.
