Sooner or later you sort of figure out that you are a zombie after all.

Or, well, I hope you do. I suppose the other option is to just keep living the lie...

For me, the writing appeared on the wall (see Daniel 5:5 for that Zombie reference) when after leaving the Feds, and after joining a slew of eRep Political Parties, it was the USWP who quickly reached out to welcome me with a greeting and something to do. I guess it takes a Zombie to know a Zombie.




Now come to think about it, I have been looking more and more Zombie-like as the months have passed.

Here is me in the early days:

...wasn't I cute?

But lately...


...you really have to admit it. I'm a Zombie and I barely even realized it.

But that's the funny thing about Rainy Sunday. She sees things few others notice. And wouldn't you know it, along she came the other day. The conversation went something like this:

RS: Hey Gnilraps, you look terrible.

Me: Yeah, that's what everyone's been saying lately.

RS: Come to think of it, are you sure you aren't just... undead?

Me: Kommienezuspadt

RS: I thought so. Go grab a box of evil over there and get to work.

Me: HA HA HA HA HA HA!



And that's the true story of how I found out.

Who's next?

My goal is to recruit 20 more Zombies by the end of this month.

Contact me for your box of evil.


"Underground"
by Tom Waits
Rattle big black bones in the Danger zone
There's a rumblin' groan down below
Below the mine shaft roads it will all unfold
There's a world going on underground
Underground

They're alive they're awake
While the rest of the world is asleep
Below the mine shaft roads it will all unfold
There's a world going on underground
Underground
Underground

All the roots hang down
Swing from town to town
They are marching around
Down under your boots
Below the gopher holes
Where they all unfold
There's a world going on underground
Underground
Underground
