A new study by scientists has suggested that zombie attacks might increase if the current projections of global warming are realized. “If the earth gets warmer, it means longer springs, summers, and falls, and shorter winters,” said John Carpenter-Romero, Ph.D., a zombie-ologist who co-authored the study. “And shorter winters means more time for the undead to prey on the populace.”

Dr. Harrister, the other co-author, and head of Zombie Robotics at Wayward Robot, Inc., explained that cold winters typically stalled the walking dead. “It is well known that zombies can’t operate in cold weather. It freezes their brains.”

The pair calculated a 32.782412% increase in zombie attacks if CO2 increased to twice its pre-industrial rate. “Clearly, this is a very troubling result,” said Dr. Harrister, “If we don’t do something soon, the streets will be filled with blood.”

Is it a Chippendale?

Nope. I don't know who's the manufacturer. We ordered it at "Rooms To Go." It will be here "sometime" today.

Now I need to get all my offspring back to work. Bunch of twerps!

Other than that, how are you?

Poor LoM is BUSY today, setting up her polling place right now. We won't get to talk at all today (her time), and... when she gets up tomorrow I'll be away from a hotel phone... I guess we won't talk again until I land in Atlanta Thursday. Ugh.

When ya comin’ back, Red Ryder?

*ahem*

recliner + Chippendale = male dancer who reclines...

:oþ

[sionnsar]

Thursday night. About 31 hours after the first plane takes off. Ugh.

[Monkey Face]

Whoa. That really sucks.

[Monkey Face]

YOIKS!! You’ve been missed, here!

[Tax-chick]

I got it, just wasn’t sure where to go with it :-).

[Monkey Face]

LOL!

I know. It’s too early for that. I’m sorry ~~ the nausea is back and I’m trying to concentrate on anything that will help me ignore it.

You just happened to be the recipient of my twisted humor!

[sionnsar]

Thanks! I could drop off any moment, when my hosts arrive.

Funny. Was asked yesterday to speak at a conference today. I accepted because I already had a powerpoint I could modify & use, but two messages got crossed so I thought I was on at 4. At 10:45 we arrive and I learn I'm on at... 11! Quick edit and I was ready -- and it even went well. And wound up with an invitation to a dinner party tomorrow night. My India host is delighted -- he'll get to network there.

[sionnsar]

Yah. I just realized that. It was the dinner that messed everything up. Oh well...

I'll send LoM a text message later, once her polls are open and things are somewhat into a routine.

[Tax-chick]

I hope you feel better soon!

[Tax-chick]

I hope you feel better soon!

[Tax-chick]

I hope you feel better soon!

[sionnsar]

Oops. Gotta go.

[Monkey Face]

Thanks! Some days it’s worse than others, and if I go a week without it, I forget how ugly it makes me feel. Then it hits again, and I don’t know what to do with myself. If I concentrate on other things, I may be able to forget the nausea for a few minutes.

:o]

[Monkey Face]

Ta!

[rottndog]

ME??? How could I sully it any worse than "cow patties...?"

Cow patties are inherently green...

};oþ~~~

[Monkey Face]

Until they’re dry enough for fuel...

[rottndog]

Good Morning!

High chance of rain today and for the rest of the week. I don’t mind the rain, but it means I’ll spend the week driving the truck. {:o(
