  1. They did, with a link. If you click on it, it takes you to the original. Links are how credit is provided in the blogosphere. Shannon added value with the post title.

  2. That’s not Texas. A Texan woman would have just pulled out her handgun, not run to the truck.

    Silly wabbit. You can’t kill a zombie with a handgun. You need a long barrel, and shot. Though, actually, if it were really Texas, I would have expected something belt fed, which is what you really need.

  4. Good eye, MfK, good eye.

    That reminds me of the old joke about confidence. Confidence is exemplified by the little girl in first grade, intently drawing at her desk.

    The teacher asks, “What are you drawing, dear?” She replies, obviously annoyed by the interruption, “God.”

    “Well, dear, no one knows what God looks like.”

    Without missing a crayon stroke, or looking up, she replied, “They will in a minute.”

  5. I’m hoping the fact that you need a shot gun to kill a zombie ISN’T common knowledge. That’s what I tell people when they ask me WHY I got my CCH!!

    But zombies might explain THIS. Zombies would explain gun fire in the streets!

    No, in Texas, a woman who has been humilated by her man runs him over with his truck. The defense argument that it was not an act of murder or even manslaughter but a case of the gas pedal getting stuck is not believed by the jury when the prosecution in rebuttal presents evidence that the truck was put in reverse for “another pass.”

    My wife asks me, “Why would a woman in Texas want to do that when Texas is a death penalty state, and you hear all time time about how many executions they perform over there.”

    My response was, “Honeeeeee! I want to spend a weekend together in Chi-ca-go!”

    Mind you, Wisconsin where we live is one of the hold-out non-death penalty states (the North-Midwestern Lutheran Belt), and Illinois is a death-penalty state. The reason the joke was funny is that the then Governer of Illinois (that was two governers ago, and the man is now residing in the Retirement Community for Former Illinois Governers in Terra Haute, Indiana). Anyway, that governer (not the guy with the Serb-Dictator hair) had just declared a state moritorium on the death penalty on account of the work of the Innocence Project and a fellow on Illinois Death Row being exonerated.

  7. Actually, Zombieland did start in Texas. Of course, the outbreak didn’t start there, but the movie did. Along with a lesson on the wisdom of “double-tapping”.
