An important question

Let's say you were a vegetarian or a vegan. One night at the mall (because it always happens at the mall at night. What were you thinking?), you got bit by a zombie, died and turned into one of them. Now you're hungry. What are you going to eat?

(The question came to me yesterday night as I was watching Casino Royale. It was an interesting Bond movie, quite different from the previous ones, with the exception of the George Lazenby ones and a couple of Sean Connery - mostly Thunderball and the few movies that featured SMERSH as a villain)

In other news, Paul Otremba's book was picked up by Four Way Books. It should be out in the Spring of 2008. Congratulations, Paul.

that is a good question. i think that once you're a zombie you don't have access to the same moral sentiments you did while human. so you wouldn't be a vegetarian anymore. it would be sad for your human self but that's all in the past now that you're a zombie.

yeah, i've already told my friends and family: if i ever become a zombie, it won't be me, and i apologize now for anything zombie me does. for instance, zombie me will probably eat you.

J Smith's and C Banes' responses are in perfect accordance with the text of truth which will provide your answer, Mr. Luong: ZOMBIE HONEYMOON.

Not one of those WMP recommenders generally, but that along with R Kelly's opus TRAPPED IN THE CLOSET are two of my favorite cultural artifacts this year.

There are usually casting calls for Romero's zombie movies in which aspiring "extras" can come and be one of the innumerable zombies in the numerous zombie-horde scenes.

I have dreamed of being an i-pod wearing hipster zombie with a t-shirt that says "Kiss Me I'm Vegan" or somesuch.

Oh how I crack myself up...

That was me, not Rachel. Who actually is a vegetarian...

friend of mine got to play an undead extra in 28 weeks later - coming soon.

i don't think he got to eat anybody though... will have to ask.

the question is a moot point, because even us carnivors don't eat our own kind. once you turn into a zombie you turn into a canibal.

the provoking question is, if a dog turns into a zomdoggie, will he only eat other dogs or will he eat people too?

or, can vegetables turn into zobetables? and if so, what would *they* eat?
