I think some of the confusion has its roots in time zones. I did start it off on the 13th. I wanted to be first. I like to pick on @Gatopescado like that.🤗 I’ll have to watch my back for a few days ---

This is more than just time zones. Time itself is running faster, slower, looping and diverging within the confines of this thread. DO NOT spend more than 180 seconds here before you close this, or at least click on a different window. And under NO circumstances should you link to this thread from another board. You’re safe for now, as long as you treat this as a harmless “Ha, ha, we’re zombie’ing a Do Not Zombie thread.” But any misuse could trap you in here, where you think it’s ten minutes… but forty years have passed in the outside world. Get out now, to be safe. I’m at 135 seconds, I should be okay. Signing off and closing this window now… ---

I spent my Valentine’s Day here in this thread, when I wasn’t bowling and drinking beer with some cool Dutch guys. But, man, now I’m buzzed and sleepy…think I’ll just lie down here for a quick nap. 😉 ---

“Zombie” is a verb? Shouldn’t it be “zombify”? Or “de-zombie?” ---

> [@Toxgoddess](#): > > “Zombie” is a verb? Shouldn’t it be “zombify”? Or “de-zombie?” In one of Don Rosa’s entries in “The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck” he uses the term “de-zomb” for the removal of a zombie. I like it. ---

We’re not doing Valentine’s Day this year. We just got off one trip, and are heading out tomorrow morning on another. Not even enough time to do the laundry, grabbing different set of clothes for Round Two. ---
