Zombies


Has anyone else in my town noticed?

I think we are in the midst of a Zombie Invasion. It might be that these...things...are from outer space, but they choose minivans and F-150s as their transportation devices. Aliens, I'm sure, would be in flying saucers.

These Zombies look just like you and me. They have this uncanny human look about them, right down to the humblest detail. They wear spectacles, sometimes with those clip-on sunglass accessories. Their clothes are normal-looking, if a little dated. There are lots of man-made fibres and everything seems just a tad too tight, except when they wear deliberately loose-fitting stuff like 'work-out' pants and such.

But they're part of Zombie-Nation alright. Just watch them when they drive. Only the undead could drive as poorly as that. Three-lane changes leaving their arse sticking out; flipping bitches* at random intervals; exceedingly slow progress in fast lanes; exceedingly ill-timed entries onto fast-moving thoroughfares - no, these aren't humans. No living person could possibly be that bad behind the wheel.

Interestingly enough, this Zombie Invasion seems to have started in Michigan. And Wisconsin. And Indiana. It's like all the Zombies decided to take a driving vacation to my town and create as much havoc on the roads as possible. As much as the undead can, that is. Which is rather a lot, as it turns out.

Indeed, they do, Sugar. I forgot to mention that Zombies aren't permanently in their cars - they do exit and do just as you say.

Zombies walking zombies driving. All the same ;-)

Don't worry, the Zombie's will leave in another month or so. Hopefully they will have left a few bucks in Florida to keep the economy creeping along.

The buggers are driving Humvees here Wombat... I'm just glad I don't have to be anywhere near them most times... imagine one of these zombies doing the hook turns required in and around Melbourne???

Sheesh - that's a scary notion haha ;-)

As you know, Don, we couldn't do without our sweet Zombie invasion. I understand that body shops see a spike in business during the winter too :-)

Oh, Belongum, I can just see Flinders Street in Melbourne with a Hummer....or even a stretched Hummer limousine doing that weird turning deal. Talk about hooking up traffic for ten minutes while they back and fill :-)

Scary's right my friend.
