Are you ready for the Zombie Apocalypse?

I’m not, but I’m getting there. I’ve been slowly stocking up on canned and dry food for a few months. Nothing crazy, just a can of soup here and a package of dried fruit there. At this point I think I have enough food to last for about a month. Water is crucial too, and my kitchen looks a scene from Signs where water is left out all over the place.

I’ve got tear-proof screens on my windows which won’t stop a bullet or tree branch, but should hold up to zombie hands pretty well. I also purchased a bunch of plywood that I have stored in my garage for a quick solution to reinforce the windows. The attic is also fairly stocked and I’ve left some food, ammo, and a hatchet up there. I need some road flares, new sleeping bags, and a propane camping stove. Maybe some toilet paper too. Been looking at buying a fold up aluminum ladder to move from one roof to another, but maybe I should get some fence poles like in Tremors. The ladder would let me move around in my neighborhood for days without hitting the pavement.

Got plenty of weapons, but I really need a combat shotty for close encounters. Right now all I have is a Benelli over/under, two Smith & Wesson Sigmas (9mm), a long range 30-30 with a scope, and two Bowie knives. The Benelli would do the trick, but only having two shots before reloading is going to be a problem. Half my ammo is in the bedroom and the rest is piled up in the attic. In the next few weeks I’m tying to stock up on batteries and MagLite bulbs, as well as some extra mags for my guns, but I feel like I’m missing something crucial…

Speaking of food…

All this talk of nachos got me thinking “You know, I should really talk a little bit about burgers.” Well, the nacho talk as well as the fact that my wife is currently on her way home from work and is going to stop at In-N-Out to grab some din din for us. I know In-N-Out is mainly a California thing (although they have a few restaurants in Arizona and Nevada, too, I think) but man, have you had their burgers? If not, you should really plan a trip out to California. Just for the In-N-Out.

McBullshit

Its the last week of class, finals are coming, and there is a lot of work to do. Having a lot of papers to write, and a presentation to work on, the next couple of days are going to be pretty much the same. Walk back from class, grab lunch to go, work, work some more, break for dinner, work.

Usually, on the way back from class, I just walk into a nearby McDonald’s that just happens to be along the way. Double Cheeseburger, fries, and a soda. Good snack food, brain food, and poop food. Its simple and gets the job done. Fills you up until you empty it in liquid ass.

But enough about poo. Today was a particularly strange and saddening day for me. Walking in and looking up at the menu, I saw something different, something new. ‘McDouble’ in place of the old ‘Double Cheeseburger’. Same price, it was on the dollar menu. I inquired as to what exactly a ‘McDouble’ was. The lady behind the counter was gracious enough to answer my question in the normal intelligent way McDonald’s employees do.

“Is A Dohble Cheeseburrgur.”

Okay. I ordered two. Got back to my room and opened the cheap wrapping on them, and took a look. They look the same but something…something was off…I looked from top to bottom.

Bread
Meat
Cheese

Then it hit me. Sonofabitch. They took away a slice of cheese! Immediately I did copious amounts of research. The new McDouble is in fact the same as a double cheeseburger, but they took away a slice of cheese.

Is the economy so bad that McDonald’s needs to cut costs??
