COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Zombies seem to be everywhere these days.

In the popular TV series "The Walking Dead," humans struggle to escape from a pack of zombies hungry for flesh. Prank alerts have warned of a zombie apocalypse on radio stations in a handful of states. And across the country, zombie wannabes in tattered clothes occasionally fill local parks, gurgling moans of the undead.

Ok, so other than that being a keeper.

He lost me when he said Humanist.

The most evil F**ks, left over eugenicists, manipulative, insecure, not seekers but resistors of truth, rationalizers, story tellers, the way, the new, Freudian frauds, players of uncertainty, the light, and talk about polytheism.

What do you get when everybody is God?

‘House’ IS a Zombie, I swear!

I think also that zombies are hard to personalize. More at dehumanized.

You might have something there...

I think the zombie craze exists because it allows the fantasy of killing without guilt... enjoying it ...

Starve the beast. Avoid buying new clothes.

As I listened to that video, I heard a student use the words “I Mean”. It sounds so familiar. I think the girl heard the word usage from her parents. So many use, "I mean" to explain their point.

“Many have died, last week, on these streets. In the basement of this building, you will find them. I have given them the last rites. Now, you do what you will. You are stronger than us. But soon, I think they be stronger than you. When the dead walk, señores, we must stop the killing... or lose the war.”
