    Conceivable they could probably climb, or even use a pogo stick or trampoline to reach someone high up. 

     

    ::laughing hysterically:: I'm now imaginging a zombie chase scene with a horde of zombies on pogo sticks chasing the hapless main character.

    I may be a little low on sleep.

    I can't help feeling they would leave a trail of disjecta membra

    Exactly!

    Thats probably one of my biggest issues with zombie movies, it's like they generally never go past a certain rot level... 

    Like with the Walking Dead... after a while all those millions of zombies would eventually just fall apart... they aren't even seeking shelter, so between storm damage and just regular wear and tear from the elements, you'd figure it would whittle down the numbers significantly to the point that they'd eventually be limited to more recently accepted members of the zombie community...

    And speaking of weather... Do they not freeze?

    They should freeze or at least significantly slow down in cold weather, so wouldn't that be the perfect time to eradicate them in droves? 
    You'd imagine after a while far northern areas would become safer as people would figure that out.

    But diehard fans will poo-poo that idea as "the virus they are infected with inhibits rot past a certain point or the zombie virus acts as a natural antifreeze"... 

    So fine, then why not give them pogo sticks or at least recumbent bicycles (if they aren't that coordinated)... then it's like "No, that's silly, they can't ride bikes or bounce around on pogo sticks"... and I'm like no, that's stereotyping, that's on you, your own ideas about who zombies are and what they can achieve... open your damn mind and hand a zombie a pogo stick and let them show you what they can do... in fact... go hug one or are you too afraid of your own low expectations of zombies?

    But I do that with bears and tigers too... (encourage people to hug them)... after all you'll never know if an animal wants to eat you unless you give it a chance to.

    But yeah, zombies should all eventually fall apart.

    We only see the ones who didn't fall apart, who survive long enough to transmit their virus or curse, or whatever, which leads to the stereotypes we witness in popular culture.  They are not necessarily representative of the Gross Majority rotting in ditches and disintegrating in storm drains or languishing on the last page of PFAD sales.

    Noo, they're full of Zom-B vitamins, so are able to maintain body mass.

    I mean b vitamins don't do that, but these are zom-b vitamins, which I assume are different. 

    Maybe turning into a zombie is something to do with eatling lots of b vitamins, there is no way that b vitamins weren't named that entirely to point this out secretly. indecision

    i can sense the pollen poised to explode.

    ...that should happen where I am next weekend as we'll finally have a week (not just a day or two) of sunny mild weather.  Still need to scrub the remainder of winter out first (not even going to make it to 50° today and will be wet through Thursday).

    Ah, horse with no name...  I remember where I was when that was popular.  I'd dropped out of college in Florida, been a hippie for a while,  homeless for a while, slunk home to live with parents near Buffalo, in mid-winter, early '70s.  Got a job in a 24 hr. quickie gas-only gas station, at night.  Sitting alone in the tiny glass booth that was the "office", listening to radio play that song while the blizzard outside buried the gas pumps.  Developed a healthy dislike of blizzards.  It wasn't long after that that I hitchhiked back to Florida and picked up the pieces of my life.indecision  

    And a couple decades later I did see the Southern Cross for the first time, camping near that big red rock in the center of Australia.  But what surprised me most about the southern hemisphere starfields were those two bright stars that appear like the yellow eyes of some impossibly huge Cheshire Dragon, just before he finally fades away completely.yes  The closest thing we have to those two stars here in our northern sky is possibly the four stars of the bowl of the Big Dipper, or the three stars of Orion's belt but Orion is visible in the southern hemisphere too, sometimes.  But those two stars in the southern sky are very bright and equally bright.  Very noticeable.cool

    I am checking in and now I see a "Join the Community" pop up ad.   Hmmm now I have to decide if I want to join the community or not.

    ...not having a television or being subscribed to any streaming services, one less dilemma I have to deal with.

    The webbrowser I was using was apparently not free. The free browsers I found require a bluetooth mouse which I can't get until I go to a store like Walmmart. I do have a bluetooth keyboard but not a bluetooth mouse.

    ...it was good early on, then disco happened and I retreated totally into classical.  Came back out for a bit in the latter part of the decade with groups like Steely Dan (when they hit their jazzy stride), King Crimson, Alan Parsons, Queen, and ELO. .

    Complaint:  I just dropped out of an on-line auction that I've been following since noon (six hours).  Lots of wonderful, beautiful, elegant stuff.heart  Things I collect.yes  Didn't buy a thing.sad  Anything I was interested in zoomed way past my budget.frown  One thing (a guilded bronze bust of a Buddha) with a starting bid of $100 ended up selling for $2500.surprise  Even soapstone carvings starting at $50 went for $300.  Small carved animals of jade that I used to be able to find (25 years ago) for $50 were going for $250+.  Hmmm... perhaps it's time for me to consider selling my collection.indecision

    Non-complaint:  If my stimulus check had been deposited I'd have probably bought something, but since I was not sure that it's even coming soon, I was prudent and didn't get carried away bidding on things.  And since everything I was interested in commanded high prices, it sort of indicates that I have good taste.  Champagne taste on a beer budget.frown  Either that or all the bidders were complete fools with their money.indecision  Although I have to admit, that this auction was not a mix of low and high quality stuff, it was all high quality so it drew serious bidders with a mind to reselling in their overpriced shops for the wealthy.

    One of the best bargains I got at an auction was at a live auction up here in the "sticks" of western NY State.  On a table full of junk in a barn was a beautiful deep blue carved stone turtle about 2.5 inches in diameter and an inch thick of gorgeous high quality rich deep blue Lapis Lazuli with a sparse network of light gold colored veins scattered here and there through it, sitting on a custom carved rosewood stand.  I kept my eye on it and nobody showed any interest in it, going rather for the old beer bottles and rusty corkscrews, and boxes of fishing tackle.  When that table began to be auctioned I placed myself right in the eyeline of the auctioneer and waited patiently.  When the turtle came up I bid $1.  Only one other person bid on it and stopped at $4.  I got it for $5.  I'd been pricing chunks of raw Lapis Lazuli and a piece that big would have cost $50 uncarved and I don't know what it would have cost to get a custom carved rosewood stand.  I've seen similar sized Lapis carvings go for $200.  I pocketed my blue turtle and spent the rest of the auction with a guilty grin on my face like I was the cat that ate the canary.laugh  So, that was my farm auction bargain story.

    Speaking of blue rocks:  Well, I was anyway...  Here's a big blue rock that can be yours for only $24,000.00 surprise

    "Lapis Lazuli":  Origin: Middle English (denoting a blue dye): from Old French asurazur, from medieval Latin azzurumazolum, from Arabic al ‘the’ + lāzaward (from Persian lāžward ‘lapis lazuli’).

    The largest piece of Lapis Lazuli that I've ever seen, was at some museum somewhere.  There was an entire full sized building column made of gorgeous Lapis Lazuli.  Not as fine a quality as the image below, but still a rare piece.  Ancient Egyptians would grind up Lapis to make their blue cosmetics

    There is a hole in my buckets.  Not the type of holes you think of when one says there is a hole in their buckets.  The hole is at the top so I can put water in it.  I use my buckets for water changes.  My fish will not life a fin to help me do water changes so I have to do all by myself.

    I went to dollar tree to get conditoner and toothpaste.  I got 3 bottles of conditoner but no toothpaste.  I need the conditioner because to keep my hair okay while I bleach it.  I need the tooothpaste to keep my smile pretty.  I got two things of hair bleach and one blue hair dye.  I want to make sure the hair is well bleached before putting in the blue hair dye.

    i've always wanted to do the blue hair thing,

  • starionwolfstarionwolf Posts: 3,670

    I bought She Wolf with dForce Hair for Genesis 8 Female instead of the bunny bundle because She Wolf was cheaper.  I didn't know that DForce hair existed until I saw yesterday's flash sale.
