Just look at the face: it’s vacant, with a hint of sadness. Like a drunk who’s lost a bet.
One of my long-time favorite online friends and bloggers Heather Anne made with the zombie meme today. I had never seen this particular meme before and while I typically shy away from them, as so many of you do, too, the scenario at hand admittedly immediately appealed to my gentle zombie sensibilities.
Not only because I’m a bit of a sucker for “horror” flicks, especially of the well-written and hilarious variety (No pun inteded. Mostly. And by “horror,” I mostly mean “vampire and zombie movies, especially circa 1980 and onward.”), but also because today marks my official four! year! blogoversary, and, well, here at kerrianne.org we believe in (ridiculously long sentences, and) coming full circle.
We also believe in zombies, apparently. Or at least, zombie memes above all others, amen and please pass the flame-thrower.
I remember when I first started blogging I had no idea what a meme was, let alone how to pronounce it. As I quickly discovered, the best of them are the webby equivalents of writing prompts. The worst of them are reminiscent of really bizarre email forwards my family sends me on a daily basis.
Thus, without further adieu I bring you, the zombie meme scenario, which you can feel free to pronounce “maim” as I always have, because this time I think it just might fit:
You are in a mall when the zombies attack. You have:
1. One weapon.
2. One song blasting on the speakers.
3. One famous person to fight alongside you.
Weapon can be real or fictional; you may assume endless ammo if applicable. Person can be real or fictional.

My answers:
1. A working wand
2. Thriller-Michael Jackson
3. Buffy
Your turn. Or else: zombies.
Title via Shaun of the Dead, naturally.
I have zombie nightmares all of the time! I’ll probably have horrible dreams tonight just from reading the word zombie. Aren’t you glad you didn’t pick me to fend off the zombie crowds in the mall?

But I bet you could bake them a delicious cake that would make them forget about wanting to eat us. Bonus!
1. Flame thrower
2. Ghostbusters (Different genre, but it would be pretty funny.)
3. Sidney Bristow (Jennifer Garner - Alias).
Ha! I want YOU to fight alongside me. Oh, and maybe Iggy, too. Scrappy little pug, he can be. :)
I so need to do this on my blog, too.
Thriller! Of course!
i don’t know about 1. and 2. but you can rest assured that i will have Benjamin Linus helping me fight the zombies :)
What came to mind for me was:
1) Hairspray (preferably AquaNet- do you KNOW how toxic that crap is?)
2) Want To Be Starting Something, M. Jackson (but this could be because of the power of suggestion based on yours…second runner up would be Groove Is In the Heart by Deee-Lite just for the funk factor)
3) Queen Latifah (she’s so BADASS)
Best. Meme. Ever.
I am totally stealing this :D
1. Retractable claws.
2. “I Believe I Can Fly” (God help me. A freaking R. Kelly song!)
3. Vivica A. Fox. (I was thinking about “Kill Bill” and her toughness)
