And I think the Gov was bat *expletive deleted* crazy before the Zombie Apocalypse. That kind of crazy doesn't just spring up out of a normal mind.

Had that notion my own self the first time I saw him.  The man has...issues.  And they will only get worse now that he lost his little walker girl and an eye.

  • I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
I think that Walking Dead will be back on in February.

And, besides, Justified starts on 8 January.

Justified is an awesome show, makes me want to go visit Harlan County!

I think that's just an excuse for "men in power" to rationalize bad behavior.  =D

Exactly what would happen in any apocalypse, no more meds for the folks that won't go batchit without meds.
A good litmus test is, if they insist on you being unarmed, they're batchit crazy.

I don't care who they get, but I have a funny feeling that they're going to have a seriously hard time ever finding anyone as good, as scary, and as evil as Mags Bennett.

Absolutely agreed. Pure evil, sweet country grandma style. :O

You know, the funny thing is, I can look at various entries in that chart, and the way the zombie is drawn, who killed it, and the weapon, and know EXACTLY what scene is being referenced.

Darryl's first kill, for instance, just shows a zombie head with the crossbow. That's the zombie that was eating the deer that he chased through camp. Someone lopped its head off with a shovel, and Darryl put an arrow through its eye.

I'm waiting on Justified to reappear as well.
Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

I had a thought which I can't seem to shake.

The title of the show refers to the main characters.  They are the "walking dead" in the sense that their fate is inevitable.

On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

Valid point. If the show creators were referencing zombies, it should have been "The Shuffling Dead" or The Shambling Dead" or "The Gait-Challenged Dead". :lol:

Great video, Ben.  Funny stuff.

a practical question-

how come zombies remain gooey? After, what, a year or more? I can understand not decomposing, or decomposing slower, but why don't they dehydrate?
That is all. *expletive deleted*ck you all, eat *expletive deleted*it, and die in a fire. I have considered writing here a long parting section dedicated to each poster, but I have decided, at length, against it. *expletive deleted*ck you all and Hail Satan.

Presumably they're fresher zombies.
