Quote of the Week

It is day 10 of the Third Second Annual 30 Minus 2 Days of Writing challenge hosted by Nicky and Mike at We Work for Cheese and today's prompt is Zombies.  Now march on over and check out the other zombies participants' tales at WWFC!


The website didn't say how much brains--or even how many--I should eat, only that I should eat them in 48 hours OR ELSE. Why doesn't anyone pay attention to details anymore? Would it be so hard to add a simple line like, BTW, Maddy, 3 pounds of brains per week is plenty? Seriously, am I the first new zombie ever to ask?  ― Rusty FischerZombies Don't Cry

In spite of the seemingly endless volume of information at our fingertips, sometimes we still struggle to put the pieces together. It's like trying to make a dish with a critical ingredient inadvertently left out of the recipe.  

Whatever the situation, being well informed always makes a difference. Give us a break...even Zombies need a little help now and then.

  1. I don't know how much a zombie sould eat...but, what happens if they don't? I mean they are dead already...what's the worst that can happen?

  2. My head hurts. I think my brain is slowly being sucked out of my head by a confused Zombie.

    Sigh.

  3. Zombies eat brains? I guess I'm not at risk. :)

  4. I bet secretly, Zombies DO cry.... but they are very private... they do it behind trees.

  5. I really hate it when details are left off of things that are important. Three pounds of brains a week is really too much protein, Linda. No more than 2 ounces per day I think to avoid weight gain.

  6. I should think a brain or so per week would be plenty. You'll also have to take into account the intelligence of the person the brain used to belong to. A smart brain is much more filling than a stupid one.

  7. Mariann- I guess you can't get deader.

    ReformingGeek- Take 2 advil and...well I can't help you with the brain sucking zombie.

    nonamedufus- Me neither!

    Hilary- I wouldn't say that, but they may not like the cold up where you are.

    Katherine- I'd cry if I were a zombie.

    Paula- Ha! Good question.

    Linda- Zombies are constantly deteriorating right? They may need more protein to keep going.

    Ziva- Oh that's a good one. We all need to pretend to be stupid.

  8. I liked what Ziva said. I'm not so fond of the idea of Zombies, however.

    It's fun to read the comments and your replies. However, just visiting all of these posts is exhausting. How are you holding up?

    Again, it impresses me that you take on this challenge each year. It can't be easy, but you're doing a great job:~)

  9. I almost have a little bit of sympathy for the plight of zombies now. We need to invest in the education of all our zombies. No zombie should be left behind.

  10. Sara- I'm putting on my dumb act to stay ahead of the zombies. The challenge is fun, and well, challenging. It does take a fair amount of effort to write, read and comment each day, but it's all good. Thanks for taking the time to read all of these.

    KZ- Careful they'll raise the taxes to support them.
