Zombie Survival Guide
I just saw this book at some store. It's kinda funny. The website is pretty cool too.

3. It looks serious
They try to make it look serious. I read 2 pages and was ready to do battle with the living dead.

5. From Publisher's Weekly, by way of Amazon
Edited on Tue Dec-16-03 03:59 PM by undisclosedlocation
"In this outrageous parody of a survival guide, Saturday Night Live staff writer Brooks prepares humanity for its eventual battle with zombies. One would expect the son of Mel Brooks to have a genetic predisposition to humor, and indeed, he does, and he exhibits it relentlessly here: he outlines virtually every possible zombie-human encounter, drafts detailed plans for defense and attack and outlines past recorded attacks dating from 60,000 B.C. to 2002."

Fonny! Here is link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1400049628/104-9790755-4595101?v=glance

Edit: Whoops, shoulda been a reply to RebelOne. Pardons.

6. Excellent read, but not hilarious
If you're looking for a laugh-out-loud type of book, this ain't it. Brooks actually takes the subject matter pretty seriously-- he obviously loves the Romero inspired world of the walking dead and devotes some real thought on how to survive in it. There are amusing moments, but the book is more geared for folks who enjoy the survival-horror genre (and yes, it is a genre).

If you loved Matheson's I AM LEGEND, King's THE MIST or any of the Romero films-- this book is for you. Read it while sharpening your Shaolin spade!

12. What we got here is a ZOMBY JAMBOREE!
Edited on Tue Dec-16-03 05:59 PM by trof
It was a Zombie Jamboree
Took place in a New York cemetery
It was a Zombie Jamboree
Took place in a New York cemetery

Zombies from all parts of the Island
Some of them was a great Calypsonians
Although the season was Carnival
We get together in bacchanal
And they singing

Back to back, belly to belly
I don't give a damn, I done dead already
Oho back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree

One female Zombie wouldn't behave
See how she jumping out of the grave
In one hand a quarter rum
In the other hand she knocking Congo drum
Believe singer start to make his rhyme
The Zombies are racking their bones in thyme
One bystander had this to say
'Twas a pleasure to see the Zombies break away

Back to back, belly to belly
I don't give a damn, I done dead already
Oho back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree

I goin' talk to Miss Brigit Bardot
And tell her Miss Bardot take it slow
All the men think they're Casanova
When they see that she's bare foot all over
Even old men out into beaker
Find their hearts getting weaker and weaker
So I goin' to ask her for your sake and mine
At least to wear her ear rings part of the time

Back to back, belly to belly
I don't give a damn, I done dead already
Oho back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree
- Harry Belafonte

A lot of World leaders talkin' 'bout war
And I'm afraid they're going too far
So it's up to us you and me
To put an end to Catastrophe
We must appeal to their goodness of heart
And ask them to pitch in and please do their part
Cause if this Atomic war begin
They won't even have a part to pitch in

Back to back, belly to belly
I don't give a damn, I done dead already
Oho back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree
