I'm sure theres a CDC franchise in DC or up north somewhere, maybe they could go to the UN building or the WHO? Who knows, could be zombies were originally caused by autistic vaccines or raw milk or something.

For gently caress sake. They are sitting in a 3 mile radius in Virginia just waiting for Handsome Leather Daddy to come kill them.
There are not that many "good guys" left so just load everyone up in the bus, make a supply caravan and loving head west.

I watch a TON of bad horror movies and the worst ones, like TWD, are just boring.

I started TWD the other day just because it's The Thing to talk about at work and I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't watch it and I still can't be assed to care about it. I watched the first four seasons because my ex made me catch up and watch season 4 with her but I've had no interest in going past that.

Yeah everyone is infected but apparently bites just speed it along because a zombie’s mouth is a cesspool of disease.

No it doesn't.

The easiest place for me pull from is Wikipedia, but it matches what I have in some of my dead-tree reference materials.

quote:

The name Wi-Fi, commercially used at least as early as August 1999,[18] was coined by the brand-consulting firm Interbrand. The Wi-Fi Alliance had hired Interbrand to create a name that was "a little catchier than 'IEEE 802.11b Direct Sequence'."[19][20] Phil Belanger, a founding member of the Wi-Fi Alliance who presided over the selection of the name "Wi-Fi", has stated that Interbrand invented Wi-Fi as a pun upon the word hi-fi.[21]

Interbrand also created the Wi-Fi logo. The yin-yang Wi-Fi logo indicates the certification of a product for interoperability.[22]

The Wi-Fi Alliance used the nonsense advertising slogan "The Standard for Wireless Fidelity" for a short time after the brand name was created.[19][22][23] The name was, however, never officially "Wireless Fidelity".[24] Nevertheless, the Wi-Fi Alliance was also called the "Wireless Fidelity Alliance Inc" in some publications[25] and the IEEE's own website has stated "WiFi is a short name for Wireless Fidelity".[26]

TWD as a comic was started as a storytelling experiment on the idea of 'what would it actually be like to LIVE in a Zombie Apocalypse if we had to follow the survivors for longer than a movie'. When you read the first book, the foreword makes it pretty clear they're not sure how long they'll choose to go or even how it will develop, they just wanna try it out.

The TV series takes this concept and absolutely runs it into the ground until you hate it and wished it HAD ended. Robert Kirkman opened a terrible Pandora's Box of pop culture.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


After listening to this song approximately 1,000 times over the past year, I finally realized that Side Pony by Lake Street Dive isn't just about the exuberant and classically carefree hairstyle, but about having a dude on the side.

I learned that caffeine withdrawl / detox takes more than one form. It took me a week of low-level panicing about my abnormally-high heart rate even when relaxing to realize that I hadn't had a tea or an energy drink in the same time span. I normally just get really bad headaches.

I was feeling really good that I wasn't drinking any of that stuff, and wasn't having withdrawl headaches. :(

I just love this picture. The owl is so intent on loving me up that some joker basically lifting it's skirt up down doesn't invoke a reaction, if anything it just makes it angrier at ME.

It's such a good picture I can't believe I haven't seen it before.

Science has shown that once an owl fixates on something it's almost impossible to make it turn away.

But it would have been his birth name if the hospital had let Frank have his way.

quote:

Dweezil's registered birth name was Ian Donald Calvin Euclid Zappa.[5] The hospital at which he was born refused to register him under the name Dweezil, so Frank listed the names of several musician friends. "Dweezil" was a nickname coined by Frank for an oddly-curled pinky-toe of Gail's. At the age of five years, Dweezil learned that his legal name was different, and he insisted on having his nickname become his legal name. Gail and Frank hired an attorney and soon the name Dweezil was official.[6]

Also Zowie Bowie is actually Duncan Zowie Jones because David Jones never legally changed his name to his stage name. Which he adopted to avoid being confused with Davy Jones of the Monkees.

I assume you're talking about David Bowie, and just had a keyboard malfunction of some kind.

I was sorting my music and didn't know if I should file Bowie under B for his "last name" or if I should have done D since it's a stage name. If he never legally changed his name, I guess I should file him under David.

My rule is if your stage name sounds like it’s supposed to be a human name it should be sorted by last name (as every record store in existence surely does with Bowie) but if it’s just an odd name that happens to be two words (Mos Def) then put it by first.
