In our more self-consciously human moments we scorn these concepts. We try to transcend these notions that tie us to our base, material existence, and we seek finer essences that remind us of our divine qualities as thinking beings.

It’s happened to all of us at some time in our lives. We’re star-gazing on our porches, parking at Makeout Overlook, or trying to find our kitty-cats in our dark backyards, and it dawns on us: We are completely unprepared for the zombie pandemic!

Guess what it is. You will get something very cool in return. I lied, it will probably suck, and may very well be a PS2 game that you will never want to play. On the other hand, who knows, it could end up being Mario Golf. Or a candle. Or a bag of flaming turds on your doorstep.
