Frac Attack

Apart from the piss-poor makeup and the fact that zombies most definitely cannot talk, I really have to congratulate Frac Attack: Dawn of the Watershed for being amazing.
Watch. Enjoy. See the local faces. See the local scenery. See the local children dressed as zombies. Ignore the nonsensical conclusion.

I'm a surprised and very disappointed that I did not hear about this until now, missing the screenings in December. You'd think this is the sort of thing someone would have mentioned.

The Best Facebook Groups Devoted to Zombies


Lets face it, zombies have become an internet meme. While at the same time, Facebook is clearly on a path to global domination. So it goes without saying that there are many Facebook groups centered around the topic of Zombies. In fact there appear to be far too many of them. So please allow me to present to you the BEST of the crop. Join as you see fit. 


Ok, let's get started with a fun one, because we all need a little comic relief sometimes.Though this group is categorized by it's creators as "common beliefs and causes" I using my expert opinion to denounce it a joke. Though it is a good joke. Ladies and Gentleman...




Next we have a very serious group.  I briefly joined this group because I felt it was a good idea to encourage the development of undead defense infrastructure by our government, though this is admittedly a long shot.
Unfortunately the group does little to encourage this sort of political action and instead it's discussion threads center on more asinine topics such as "Can Asian's become Zombies?" and "If you have sex with a Zombie are you at risk of becoming one?".  The answer to both of these questions are almost definitely YES. 


With 136,501 Members, the next group is by far the largest. 
So true. This group takes a light hearted approach to the impending apocalypse. However, it includes serious discussion topics on survival techniques. You could do worse than to join this group. 


The next batch of Facebook Groups makes me excited because they take a brilliant and very piratical approach to organizing. 
Regional Zombie Survival Groups  
This category of groups include:

Regional organizing is key because your neighbors are both the first threats to your safety, as well as your first option for assistance. A well prepared populous starts in your neighborhood, and with a regional survival group you can ensure your neighbors are as prepared and knowledgeable as you are. I'm strongly considering starting a group for my town.  I encourage you do the same.




Dishonorable mention to the H1N1 Zombie Resistance group.

How the Time Flies...

My goodness, it appears to be March already, so naturally it's time to post some of those Halloween photos.

My excuse for waiting this long is as follows:
Before Halloween my beloved brick of a camera finally ate it. Now I have a brand new gorgeous powershot. However, somewhere in the middle Halloween happened so I had nothing but my camera phone to document the awesomeness.

But now thanks to my good friend Jerry I have some quality photo documentation of this year's Zombie makeup. This year was extra special because not only was I a zombie for Halloween, so were my two best gals.

Please enjoy the following photos to your fullest possible satisfaction.

Me as a Zombie in a tux.



 One last shot for realism.
