Lawn Darts, Not Land Mines

Scenario:
Y
ou’re in the back yard, listening to the sizzling of the steaks on the grill. The fence around the backyard is sturdy and full of wood. This can mean only one thing. LAWN DARTS!!!! Hell, if those bastard police can’t see you, it ain’t illegal. One rousing game of lawn darts after the other leads to a dead squirrel and two dirty lawn darts. Is that wrong? No. But you know what is? That zombie that just crashed through the fence. What do you do?
What you should do:
Well, considering the fact that being heavily armed and owning a lawn mower is old hat, you’ve got something new to bring to the party. Of course, this isn’t the normal party where you make out with someone in a closet for seven minutes, simulating life after death in an effort to get some action
. This is a party where everyone is there to destroy zombies and only fun can be had by doing it.
Luckily, just in case you were going to make out with someone for seven minutes, you brought a tooth brush to stay fresh. As it turns out, zombies hate tooth brushes. Especially if they are lodged in their skulls. Blizzaam. Now, not only do you have a zombie to torture and destroy, but you have a zombie with a tooth brush lodged in its skull, teaching all zombies a lesson. There is not a place in a party for zombies and we aren’t afraid of becoming savage beasts to keep it that way. Hell, I didn’t even have to roll the dice to tell you that my plus 10 toothbrush was going to obliterate the zombie.
What I would do:
Well, obviously I have some lawn darts. Do you know what that means? I have a six pack of beer… in my stomach. Oh lord I feel the buzz and nothing
feels better for a buzz than killing some dirty, stinking zombies. And the best way to do it?
With my eight foot long blow dart gun that I stole from an African kid with AIDS. He didn’t have anything in the world but that blow dart gun, but I figured the kid had AIDS and didn’t need to have anything in the world because he had AIDS and that was going to take anything anyway so I relieved him of it. He cried but as Jack Handey once said, “That’s how his people are.”
I used the blow darts to stun the poisonous tree frog that is super poisonous in a poisonous way. Now, knowing that zombies are only subhuman, I added to the poison that I collected from the poisonous tree frog a special toxin that I call love. God how I love to watch a zombie carcass burn. Does that make me insane? No? Good. Does knowing that they used to be human make me insane when I enjoy it even more because of it? Oh, damn.

(Overall Rating: 4 out of 5)
your left stands a zombie; in the door to your right stands a giant grizzly bear eating a kid. What do you do?
Need I say more?
about is the zombie and the bear, which may become the dreaded zombie-bear at any moment. Luckily for me, zombies do not fancy animals so much and is less likely to bite the bear. The bear is frothing at the mouth by now in anticipation of serving some bear jelly and is unlikely to tear into the zombie, immediately. This will give me the time I need to kill them both with the free miniature sword I received from the nachos purchase. It won’t be easy to kill a horny grizzly bear with a dull miniature sword, but by God I am going to do it. Total loss of life if executed properly: one bear. All in all, it’s a good day for some nachos.
