Z-Day: February 24, 2009

The Dow dropped 250 points today, bringing it to 7,114. Could it drop that much again tomorrow? Probably. But it doesn't need to.

It only needs to lose another 115.

And then...


But let's keep our heads here, panic is what the Zombies want.

It's hard to say where the epicenter of the outbreak is going to be. There's been some amateur speculation among leading experts (my sock monkey and myself) that it will begin in Chicago, where people already have a sort of lifeless shamble to them. I blame Blagojevich for stealing their hope. Anyway.

Monkey, however, suggests that the more likely ground zero is actually going to be in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. If this is the case, then Z-day will occur totally unnoticed, with only slightly more exposed viscera than is usual. Let's all hope Monkey is right, but I'm afraid that there's only a distant chance of a sock filled with cotton batting being right about something this complicated.

But that's all that really needs to be said. You all know the score by now. Remove the head, destroy the brain, don't get bled on,use the buddy system. And hey, remember to keep score. There's no reason this can't be fun.
