Happy Tree Friends = twisted humor

I haven't been much for writing these last few days. I can't seem to get my brain to focus long enough. Old age perhaps? Anyway, I have spent some time surfing the web in hunt for kickin' zombie sites. Sites filled with blood and guts. Sites dedicated to dismemberment.

You know - cool shit.

And guess what? I found it. Them really. Happy Tree Friends.

Now don't let their name fool ya'. They may be happy, but they are anything but your friend. Great for Saturday morning cartoons but only if you have a twisted sense of humor and are not easily nauseated. Luckily, both of those criteria are a part of my genetic makeup. Probably 'cuz I was dropped on my head repeatedly as a kid.

Not a believer? Let's try one on for size:

Needless to say, this first video I saw sucked me right in like a fat kid on a candy bar. And not just one candy bar either; we are talking the whole f'n box! I had to see if they were all as captivating as this one. All as bloody. All as inventive. All as cute.

WOW! I have hit the mother load of cartoon horror! My husband is convinced there is something wrong in my noggin' for enjoying such twisted humor as this. I told him he need not be concerned; just be sure to sleep with one eye open. One can't be too safe these days.

So why not check it our for yourself? They have oodles of clips to choose from; all equally funny, all bloody, and all original.

Anybody got a GOOD theme?

So if any of you have visited my blog in the last few days, then you would know it has been in "maintenance mode." It would seem the theme I PAID for is CRAP. I had been having minor trouble with it since day one but have learned to live with those problems.

Well, on Friday night I started getting database errors. In trying to work with my server host, or host server, or whatever the F they are called, we ascertained it is yet another problem with my theme. Needless to say I am not a happy camper.

SO yet again I am on the hunt for a theme I can be happy with that will not F up. Translation - yet another theme I will pay for. Cuz as you can see from this one, these free themes totally blow. And I have tweaked this one LOTS - it looked way worse right out of the gate.

So I am on the hunt for a great theme yet again, be it free or otherwise. Feel free to let me know of any great wordpress themes you know of.

And please don't abandon me during my ugly stage. I promise to have a face lift before too long... I hope anyway. At least I will tweak this one to look half way decent.

Zombie Killers

I realized something today. Not all of you visit my blog for the content.

Some of you visit just because of my charming personality and sparkling wit. Of course it helps that I am easy on the eyes, but being as I am not one to toot my own horn, let's move along, shall we?

The point that I am making here is that by not visiting my blog for purposes of content, you are missing out on a lot of cool information about me, the real reason you came to visit in the first place. And if you don't click on the various pages, you will never know the true extent of what you are missing out on.

So I wanted to bring to you one of my pages, because it, because they, deserve their 15 minutes of fame. Ok, that might be a stretch since it will only take you about a minute to read it and not 15, but you know what I mean.

Let's not waste anymore time with idle chitchat. Here is the page of my protectors:

I am a firm believer that no home can have too much protection. Being as I have no children who can be enlisted for perimeter detail, I have utilized my dogs. Allow me to introduce them:

Killa' Kong

(full fledged chihuahua)

"King" Kong (aka Bong-hit) was best man dog at my "wedding." I use that term loosely as I opted not to have a ceremony. We had a small gathering of family and just signed our names on the dotted line.

On our honeymoon, all 3 pounds of him protected me from a bad beggar man. His bared teeth and deep throaty growl let that scraggly dude know exactly who was boss, and it was evidenced by the beggars very quick retreat.

That alone let me know that I had a killer on my hands. I was not worried about zombies. No sir'E!

Since that time, Kong has aged and added a gazillion few pounds, but he'll still take you down at the ankles. Watch out for his teeth! Take it from me, they HURT!

Killa' Bruiser

(unique dachshuahua = a dachshund/chihuahua mix)

"Bruiser" of Hearts (aka Boozer) is Kong's back up. He may not run very fast but once he gets his jaws into you there will not be any letting go! He will rip your throat out without so much as a hint of remorse.And then when Bruiser is done with you, well, he might even lick up your spilled blood as if it were a fine aged wine.

Much like zombies, Bruiser does not move very fast as his dachshund legs are somewhat bowed and stubby. This does not deter from his fierceness or dedication to protecting the home base, and I dare you to test this statement by attempting to enter the back yard. You might find yourself a bit humbled and a lot mangled.

Killa' Zoe

(true blue rat terror terrier)

Zoe (aka Zozo) is the bitch of the family (not taking me into account, of course.) She rules the roost with an iron jaw and doesn't take failure as an option. When she isn't busy keeping the other dogs butts in line, she's scaling the perimeter of our 1 acre corner lot, making sure there are no breaches without her approval. I might need to add that any breach would not meet her approval unless it's the pizza guy! I promise you though, you want her on that wall; we need her on that wall!

Don't let her 9 pound delicate frame fool you. She will no sooner rip your head off with her extremely strong under bite and piss down your neck than she will blink an eye. And if that doesn't frighten you then it should. 'Cuz she in one vicious beast in a very cute cow costume! Talk about a wolf in sheep's clothing!

Killa' Zeus

(100% corn-fed boxer bulldog)

What can I say about Zeus? Well, I probably should start by pointing out that he is 80 pounds of gentle giant and wouldn't hurt a flea. He might lick it to death, but not intentionally.

Yes, Zeus is a giant lummox who thinks love and good looks should rule the world. He is of the unfortunate belief that zombies can be saved by simply winning them over with sad puppy eyes and slobbery kisses. He tries to reinforce that belief to me every night when I get home from work, but so far I have managed to maintain the discipline of zombie killing versus zombie conversion.

Obviously we are still working on turning Zeus into a true killer, however we do not feel we should strip him of the title. He is one of the family after all, and the family that bands together, stays alive together.

So there you have it. Aside from these weapons of mass destruction, I have a couple guns, hammers, axes, gasoline, and a few other items that can be used in the fight for survival. I feel relatively safe in my corner of the world.

How 'bout you? Are you protected?

The Basics of Zombie Survival

You know, people make fun of me when I talk about the potential of a zombie apocalypse. They make fun because either they do not believe, or they are too afraid to entertain the possibility. I say to hell with them. Let them make fun of me because in the end, they will probably be of the un-dead variety and I will have the pleasure of the final word. For those of you not understanding what that means, it means I will get to blow their zombie heads off.

So for those of you who are more open minded, I wanted to point out some of the basics you probably already know but don’t really think about. By doing this, and reviewing it, we will be more prepared and effective when the need arises.

Hopefully it never will, but who’s to say what lays in wait for us down the road, right? So let’s not waste anymore time.

Certain weapons you will want on hand even if there is no zombie apocalypse. After all, we are a nation of thugs, pedophiles, serial killers, rapists, and God only knows what else, so do yourself a favor and stock up. Some weapons you have already though you may not realize it, such as a shower curtain rod. Especially the metal ones, versus the plastic ones. The plastic ones are probably sturdy enough to pierce a zombies head, but to do so with one repeated might weaken it. Metal ones would be a lot more durable so you might want to consider swapping them out if yours is of the plastic variety.

Other weapons you may not realize you already have are tire irons, fireplace pokers, golf clubs, ice picks; although with things like ice picks and meat thermometers you are going to have to get up close and personal to a zombie to be able to strike a stopping blow. Not a lot of people can handle that proximity and the added risk for becoming an un-dead. Not to mention you have to be a really good aim to work this close up. It's important that you know your limitations, and arrange to protect yourself in spite of them.

Weapons you might find in your shed or garage would include weed whackers and lawn mowers (if you don't believe me on that one, just watch Dead Alive. You will never look at your lawn mower the same way again, I promise you!) The problem these two items pose are either a. they run out of gas, or b. you have to plug it in and your range of effectiveness is limited to the length of cord the "weapon" is equipped with.

I would highly suggest that now, before the worst has happened, that you take stock of what is in your home that could prove to be effective against a zombie. A large umbrella perhaps; a hockey stick; a ski pole; a baseball bat. If you are like me, you have a lot more crap weapons laying around than you realized.

I myself am a firm believer in guns, and have made it a point to frequent the shooting range on a regular basis. I didn't start out with the intention of zombie annihilation; I started out as an 18 year old hot confident female living on my own in the po-dunk town of Disgusta, Georgia. That alone was reason enough to arm myself, and if you ever lived here you would understand.

As time passed however, I realized that understanding and respect for a gun would not only protect me from criminals and rapists, but be advantageous in the war against the un-dead!

Whether you are a republican or not, you have to see how greatly your chances improve when you are properly and knowledgeably armed. Shooting a gun is way different from knowing how to shoot a gun. One gets the bad guy killed, the other gets you killed.

You will also want to make sure you are adequately stocked in the food department. Now bear in mind you might not be able to cook or even have electricity so you will want to make sure the food you have for emergencies can be eaten raw, or right out of the can (BONUS! I now You now have an excuse to eat Vienna Sausages and not get picked on for it!) And make sure your supply is sufficient to last a couple weeks. You never know how long it will be before you can venture out to restock supplies.

Another item you won't think about straight away but really need to make sure you have plenty of is water. I wouldn't suggest you load up on milk cartons of water and leave them sitting in your garage until they become handy as unfavorable bacteria and things of the like can build up and contaminate your supply. No need for added problems, however I would suggest that you keep empty containers readily available so at the first sign of trouble, you can stock up and be ready for it.

Now if you are anything like me, you are probably thinking you need to make sure you are stocked up on booze. While I completely agree that in times of trouble, nothing soothes like a good glass of vino, or an ice cold amber beer, but that is not even close to being realistic in the event of a zombie apocalypse.

For starters, you, we, need to be coherent and have all of our faculties alert. Although booze would be strongly craved by me some of us, it would not be conducive to survival. As well, diet Pepsi soda would not be a good staple drink as it tends to dehydrate a person, and that could prove to be very detrimental as well.

Something else you want to make certain you have on hand is a really good first aid kit. I'm not talking about those 1.99 specials you find at Wally World either. I am taking about a real first aid like the military would use. You'll want a full first aid kit. Make sure it includes a sufficient supply of bandages, antiseptic cream or spray, burn ointment, rubbing alcohol, and gauze. You will also want basic pain pills, bug spray, bean-o.... just make sure you have whatever it takes to squelch any odd ailments you might suffer from. The last thing you need when being hunted by zombies to get an attack of the shits. Sorry to be so blunt, but it's life. Deal with it and prepare for it.

You will want to make sure you develop your cardiovascular health in addition to your stregnth. Some of you may be opposed to exercise, feeling it's more important to develop the mind. That's all well and good but I can promise you the last thing you want is to be too winded to run away from a gaggle of zombies, or too weak to drive a shower curtain rod through their stinking un-dead brain. I am also pretty sure you do not want to be the one, bitten and bloody and turning, with regret that you didn't use that treadmill sitting in the corner of your room. Or that you took the elevator when the stairs were just as assessable.

You might be thinking that you are in the clear because even though you don't exercise, you have a car or a motorcycle. Well, let's look at the obvious, shall we?

Firstly, cars and motorcycles make lots of noise. That's a homing beacon to zombies. Secondly, cars and motorcycles will run out of gas, and then where will you be when the only pump you can access is surrounded by brain sucking zombies? Won't happen to you, you say? Well I say why tempt fate?

And thirdly, with everyone wanting to flee the apocalypse in their vehicles, there is bound to be accidents and mayhem resulting in traffic jams, accidents, and damned rubber neckers not understanding the urgency of expediency thereby ensuring their demise, which could in turn, mean your demise.

As for potential survivors you might meet in your flight, demand that they strip down past their skivvies to make sure there are no hidden bites they don't want to tell you about. If they refuse, kick their soon to be zombie ass out of there. If they agree, for god's sake, don't take this opportunity to have a free for all love fest. Stay focused people!!!!!

And for you woos-bags out there, you gotta sack up! Know that if your loved ones, be it your friends, girl/boy friends, spouses, brats kids, parents..... whoever it is..... if they are biten they will turn! It's not optional and it's not curable, so sack up and leave them behind to suffer the fate of being a murdering flesh eater. Of course, if you are a cold hearted bitch/bastard strong person who does not want their loved ones to suffer such horrific fate, then put a bullet in their brain. Just make the first shot count so you don't waste valuable ammunition.

As stated previously, this is simply the basics. I have other valuable learning tools noted here and here, and there is still so much more not yet written but I am working on it. Hopefully I will have us all adequately prepared before that dastardly day ever comes.....

Until then, be sure to check back in. Some people may be too afraid to talk about the potential of a zombie apocalypse, either due to fear of a straight jacket and padded cell, or the fear of the possibility. Either way, you only have to read about it on my blog, and I won't tell a soul you stopped by......
