I’m honoring a commitment ceremony on Independence Day. Kinda ironic, huh? Well, I don’t think of my blog wife, Thoughts Appear, as a ball-and-chain but more like a partner-in-crime. And to prove it, today I’m letting her steal the show.

When Amy, aka Zombie Princess Leia, asked me to write a guest post, I knew immediately what to write about. Zombies.
And since the zombie apocalypse is rapidly approaching, I decided to rewatch a classic zombie movie for survival tips: George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead.
Step 1: Identifying Zombies
The zombie experts in Cumberland, Maryland (Thoughtsy’s Fun Fact #1: I went to college near Cumberland.), describe zombies as…
- Mis-shapened people
- People who act like animals
- People in a trance
- People who eat flesh
If you’re still unsure if someone is a zombie, there are two tests to administer.
- Zombies are afraid of fire.
- Zombies lick their lips when you pour salt and pepper on your arm.
Step 2: Escaping Zombies
Here are the escape tips I learned from the movie:
- Beware of headstones when running in the cemetery.
- Don’t let a woman drive the escape vehicle. She’ll wreck it…after driving 5 feet.
- Don’t let a man drive the escape vehicle. He’ll catch it on fire.
- Maybe just forget escape vehicles and wait for rescue.
And finally and most importantly…
Step 3: Zombie Karma
If you tease your sister in the graveyard, a zombie will eat you. (Thoughtsy’s Fun Fact #2: I have a brother who teases me…a lot.)
Now gimme your best zombie face. Here’s mine.
