I’d put this in the Pit but I know Giraffe would boot it out for bing too tame or whatever. [This](http://www.theonion.com/content/node/41676) is absolutely inexcuasable! ---

Well, Roethlisberger will be back under center this week, so that should give the faithful reason to be optimistic. However, it’s always a challenge going up against a division leader that has been producing on as high a level as the Beng…:eek: _ **AAAAAAA! ZOMBIES!!!** _ ---

Well, it’s about time they acted on this. Romero’s _Land of the Dead_ was not-all-that-subtly situated in Pittsburgh. It was a blueprint for a zombie takeover of the city, and the inaction by city management is inexcusable. ---

It was a blueprint for a zombie takeover of the city, and the inaction by city management is inexcusable. I lost a friend to zombies in Monroeville Mall. Then, after he came back to life, he caught a bullet in the forehead and fell into the fountain. ---

Do you have any idea how big the surrounding area of “Pittsburgh” is? It was probably up in some of the suburbs of Allegheny County. The second movie was filmed at the mall five minutes from my gramma’s house in Greensburg. ---

How about Zombie Ray Mansfield, Zombie Whizzer White, Zombie Terry Long, Zombie Justin Strelzyk and Zombie Mike Webster? You could field a pretty good zombie Steeler team if you do enough digging. ---
