Thanks! Too bad about that Nobel (you know I used to think that prize meant something, once upon a time). But, feel free to send lots of cash, without the fancy necklace.

Yeah you want to pick out your own bling anyway.

"1000 bucks to hunt zombies in your park? Where'd you get them?"

My bloody stumps drag over the pentangle, in-out, in-out, ETERNAL shaking.

"THIS is what it's all about!", He cackles.

"I killed a lot of those zombies with my rifle today. Put a bullet in each one!" Headline: 65 Dead After Alzheimer’s Rant.

I'll cut off an ear and mail it to my sweetheart. Oh, I hope she comes to appreciate me as an artist before this corpse rots.

I coaxed a classmate up to the tree house. "Some kids play doctor, but I want to play Medical Examiner. Hold still for me."

Jeff sat at the computer, arranging body parts. Wow, this was a challenge! Perfect score! Mama Dahmer would be so proud!

Clever. I really like this one!

As the zombies ate, Joe Biden snuck away. "Why'd you let him go?" one growled. The other answered, "It was a no-brainer".

"Why'd you decide to let it go?" growled the zombie, as Joe Biden slipped away.
The other spat out, "It was a no-brainer."

You really think that was a Biden gaffe? (and not a planned "go and do what you do best, Joe" order from campaign HQ?)

What Joe does best is make Dan Quayle look like a genius.

Liked the second version better. Found this version skulking about in the wrong topic.

This is clearly derivative of the twabble I posted on Nov 08, 2009:
The zombies were fast, unstoppable, and ravenous for brains. So, in a cruel twist, they bypassed Congress completely.

So you owe me 86% of all royalties you collect on this work.

Also note that Joe "Bite me" is a former congress-critter.

While the gist is similar, the key to this oevre is the phrase "no-brainer", which is original to my piece. However the possibility remains that I was inspired by your original observation of the stupidity of congress. In which case the rest of the population also may owe you royalties.

I think we all agree that Zombies/Brains(or lack thereof)/Politicians is a fairly well mined trope. (I still don't believe for a second that either of you are gullible enough to believe that the "gaffe" was actually a gaffe, and not a planned event designed to leverage Biden's reputation for unparallelled gaffery, thus setting the stage for Obama to come out and say "Yes, I'm for gay marriage and I guess I kinda have to come out of the closet now that Joe over there went and pushed the issue...")

And Joe Bite-me is kind of weak, ASID. Not enough of a phonetic link to be effective.

Gotta be a better play on the name than that, is all I'm saying there...

Huh? "No brainer" is hardly original. Nor is it even originally tied to Joe -- I've heard radio mouthpieces apply the phrase to his actions. Also brainlessness is the key to your piece, not some hackneyed phrase.
