Everybody knows rifles and sub-machine guns are pretty useless against zombies. You need a sawed-off shotgun to really destroy the brain.Talia wrote:How about a zombie squid anthology?
Or are you saying there are zombies around here? Now I'm worried. I left my Uzi at work.. should I not have done that?
It's the one Norm read on his Geekspeak interview. That's probably where you're remembering it from.tbaker2500 wrote:Drabble was awesome- I thought I heard it before, was it posted here on the boards maybe?

I thought he was saying "bonsai" the whole time.
