WTF? (an totally new name for a blog post)

let me start off by saying: i'm sorry. i'm really sorry. but just one more stupid thing off the internet:

but this one has a REASON! yes, that's right, a whole reason! this will sound familiar to some of you.
so a couple years ago i was wandering around town looking for trouble as is my habit when suddenly i saw something out of the corner of my eye and i looked around to see it. it was a monkey. i am still sure of it. it was a ring-tailed lemur. i am as sure of this as i am sure that i strongly dislike caviar. it had run from a public pavilion the stoners hang out under to a car in the parking lot twenty feet away. it was running with its butt up, a thin white-and-black striped tail was straight up behind it. i followed and tried to get a good look at it but couldn't before it ran into a tiny little space that i couldn't go. see that animal in the picture? probably the same thing!

HOW TO TICK PEOPLE OFF

yes, i know this is pretty much what i did the last post, but i'm doing it again. deal with it. the creepy thing is just how many of these i (and hooligans like myself) already know and very often do (see #11 14 26 31 etc.)

Zombie Haikus

blood is really warm
its like drinking hot chocolate
but with more screaming.

Wake up to the sound
Of puppies being eaten
No more chewed slippers

If zombies smoked pot
maybe they would skip the brains
and settle for cake.

The day I died you
tried to put a bullet in
my head. You missed. Lunch!

Brain eating monsters
Make disappointing lovers
Because of the fear

Zombie Haiku by Dylan Thomas
Do not go gentle
into that zombie plagued night.
And take the shotgun.

Zombie Haiku by William Shakespeare
To bite through the skull
or beat it against the wall?
That is the question.

Zombie Haiku by Edgar Allen Poe
Beside of the sea
I killed my Annabel Lee
because zombies do that.
