I just wanted to sat that I really hate zombies. They come into your house univited, eat your brains, get graveyard dirt all over your clean carpet. God I hate zombies. ---

They’re really not very good conversationalists, either. You try to talk to them about _anything_, and their response is always, “Braaaiiinnnsss!!!” Yeah, I _get_ it already! Enough with the “brains”! Sheesh! ---

Ahh but they come in handy in the restaurant business…sometimes you want to make a dish of ladies fingers using real ladies fingers… ---

Zombies really do suck! If you’re the last human in a world of vampires, at least you can go out during daylight hours to run errands, like fighting the rats for the last canned goods in the abandoned grocery stores. But zombies are on your ass 24/7, so you have to go out in groups to forage. You could try hiding out in a mall, but the last folks who tried that didn’t do too well. ---

Yeah, but they sand “Time of the Season” and “She’s Not There.” Those were some good tunes! Zombies aren’t all that bad. ---

Don’t forget “Tell Her No,” that was always my fave. 🙂 I’ll bet Vincent Price would never star in a movie where he had to get chased around by zombies. Wait, or was that Charlton Heston? ---

> [@](#): > > I’ll bet Vincent Price would never star in a movie where he had to get chased around by zombies. Wait, or was that Charlton Heston? Actually, they were chased by vampires and mutants in movies inspired by the same book, _I Am Legend_, a novel in which one man is left alive in a world of vampires. Vincent Price was in _The Last Man On Earth_ (1958), and Charlton Heston starred in _The Omega Man_ (1971), in which vampires were updated to mutated victims of biological warfare. ---

Yah, there was this time when Me, Shaggy, Scoob and the gang were all hanging out at the soda shop when this Zombie busted in all, like, “brains” and stuff. So Shaggy was like “yoiks” and Scooby was hanging from the chandelier. I managed to head-fake the zombie by chucking that mangey Scrappy in his direction, and then Daphne (hmmm… Daphne) had this net and… well, to make a long story short it was Mr. Whittacker, the school janitor in a costume. But I still hate zombies. ---

You cretinous bunch of anti-zombites! Show some compassion. You’re all just prejudiced against the heartbeat-impaired. Zombies have a challenging enough non-life as it is without this sort of hate spewing breeding among the living. One of these creatures may turn out to be a great-great grandfather, or the great uncle who was posthumous awarded the Silver Star for his self sacrificing bravery in WWII! How do you cope with your bigotry then, when it’s a family member? ---

Hey, I’m as open-minded as the next guy, but when someone is trying to eat my brains, I ain’t going to like them. And when it’s a a bunch of people as a whole trying to eat everyone’s brains, then I’ll hate all of them. Therefore, I hate zombies. If they would stop with the eating of the brains, and clean themselves up a little, they _might_ be tolerable. _Might_. ---

Eh, whatever. I have no opinion one way or the other. I just wanted to use the term anti-zombite in a sentence. ---

yes, but even in undead circles, not all zombies are bad. i mean, look at alacia (?) zombie from the events chronicled in piers’ anthony’s Xanth series! you wouldn’t even know she was a zombie if she didn’t tell you. remember, saying all zombies are bad is the same as saying all iraqis are bad. just because they’re in a bad state dosn’t mean they’re bad people! i have friends like that. (zombies and iraqis) anyway, perhaps those zombies calling for brainsss just wanted an intelligent discourse, and knew you were from the SD! at least try to learn someone’s situation before you condemn it.
