Thank you for this! I'm having a rotten morning, and you made me laugh. You present a very good case for Team Zombie - I'm in!

This found me on a morning when I'm already feeling like a zombie. So, yay team!

I love how this post raises awareness and also provides a framework for understanding how to work with the zombie in all of us. Oh, the allure of just doing one thing.

😆 Yes, I definitely meant the deeper meaning you took from it. But that level of hyper-focus does have a certain allure hehe

It seems that zombies only come out at night. I’m definitely team sunshine. If the zombies can live in the sun I’m in. Oh wait can I still read? The inability to read is a no go for me.

I think zombies are ok in the day time, vampires are the slaves to the darkness. Zombies can still work on their tan. As for reading, I'm not sure, we may have to consult a zombiologist.

I'm sure I could get used to the people-eating, but what if my zombie brain wasn't opposed to eating cute doggos? That could be a deal-breaker for me.

Hmm, I've never seen zombies in movies eating dogs. I think even in a zombie state we still like dogs more than people 😆

Thank you for the advice. I think I'll pass on it, though. I'm not in love with the look.

😆 True. The look takes some getting used to.

On the other hand, you could just get together with a survival nut, a hot girl and her kid sister and drive around. Shotguns are pretty plentiful and don't really require much in the way of aiming — and they'll take off a zombie head quite effectively...

...and I never liked Twinkies all that much.

Ah the plot of Zombieland. That looked exhausting though 😆. Twinkies are what they are, there's certainly worse foods out there.

Yeah, but the thought of actually eating brains while pieces of my face (and the rest of me) fall off isn’t terribly appealing, either.
