Eeep!

I just pulled up Yahoo to look for a web site and the weather for Cloudcroft is saying snow showers! We haven't replaced my vehicle yet! I just hope that if it does drop the white stuff, that it won't be cold enough for it to stick.

The Halloween Survival Checklist

From wicked_wish:

Run Like Hell, Ask Questions Later:

1. if it shambles
2. if it shuffles
3. if it hisses, howls, wails or groans
4. if it's got a gas-powered lawn pruning device
5. if it has (a). one too many or (b). one too few: eyes, lips, heads, hands, or nostrils.
6. if Rob Zombie did the soundtrack.
7. if you know "fuck-all" about vampires.
8. if it was hideously disfigured by one of your ancestors.
9. if it bears an uncanny resemblence to that hitchhiker you ran over, then left to bleed to death on the side of the road rather than face a DUI.
10. if it's wearing any sort of leather you don't immediately recognize as having come from a cow.
11. if Billy Zane is bald, wearing black, and wanting a word with you.
12. if it's calling from inside the house.
13. if you're the only black guy.
14. if it came from Mars.
15. if it came from the future.
16. if it came with a hockey mask.
17. if it escaped from a laboratory.
18. if it escaped from a museum exhibit.
19. if Stephen King makes a cameo appearance.
20. if it could be described as having a carapace.
21. if you just shot it full of holes, and it's smiling.
22. if Jamie Lee Curtis starts screaming.
23. if one eye is still glowing.
24. if she's wearing a cowboy hat and ass-less chaps.
25. if you need an old priest, and a young priest.


Avoid Like the Plague

1. Corn. It's the crop of the damned.
2. Shopping malls. If the credit card interest doesn't get you, the zombies will.
3. Ghost ships. Ought to go without saying -- but for some reason, doesn't.
4. Any small New England town founded by pirates.
5. Nursing homes in southeast Texas.
6. Oh heck. Let's just say "America in general."
7. Raccoon City. For no reason. You know.


Assorted Tips and Bits of Advice:

1. when in doubt, reload.
2. pick slow companions. remember, you never have to run faster than a flesh-eating zombie--just faster than the person you're with.
3. keep your bigger head in charge: it doesn't matter how hot she is if she's only going to eat your brains later.
4. cheerleaders are disposable.
5. never trust a grown man in clown makeup.
6. carry extra batteries.
7. ignore any twins who ask you to "come and play with them."
8. no amount of lost treasure is worth a mummy's curse. no, seriously.
9. let sleeping wolfmen lie.
10. generally speaking, mad scientists are bad news.

Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder

Probably most of my readers know what absinthe is. They also probably know that it is illegal and considered lethal due to the wormwood content. Well, a New Orleans biochemist would beg to differ. Due to a slip up in European Union regulations, the ban on absinthe went away. This biochemist has disected the drink in gas chromatograph mass spectrometers and is now producing his own in a distilery in France (it's still illegal in the US, which means you can get it if you have the right contacts). His production won an annual contest for best absinthe formulation, so it sounds like he might know what he's doing.
