Getting ready for work today, I popped on the local news channel to see what the weather had in store for today.  Leading up to the forecast, I kept hearing this tease about how much cooler it was going to be today, and this week in general.

“Sweet,” I thought to myself.  “It’s really been hot.  I could use a break in the weather a bit to enjoy the outside and perhaps get some over-due yard work done.”

Then, after all of my waiting, the trusty weather guy shows up in front of his green screen.  “It’s going to be significantly cooler today,” he says.  And then the graphic pops up: Today’s high: 95 degrees.

WTF?!?  Significantly cooler = 95 degrees.  Sure, it may have been pushing 100 over the weekend, but I don’t believe that from 100 to 95 qualifies as “significantly” cooler.  It’s still hot as crap.

Would you say it’s significantly warmer today if the temperature went from -15 degrees to -10 degrees?  No!  You’d say, “it’s still cold as shit out there!  Bundle up or die!”

So perhaps a 5 degree turn to a weather guy is “significant.”  And perhaps it can be, but what the hell are you thinking telling me it’s going to be significantly cooler today when the temperature is still 95 degrees?! 

I guess it all boils down to the fact that I just don’t think like a weather guy.

The King of Pop is dead.  Lets pay tribute to him here on ZombieChatter by featuring the very best Zombie Music Video ever created.

Best friends in stories often play the most pivotal roles. Unfortunately, they are often the unsung heroes, so today I wanted to take the time to recognize these individuals that have single handedly held together some of the greatest books, movies and T.V. shows. of all time.

5. Watson & Holmes (Sherlock Holmes Series)- I mean come on… where would Holmes be with out Watson. How many mysteries would not have been solved? How many times would Holmes not made it out of a situation alive? nuf’ said
4. Indiana Jones & Short Round (Temple of Doom) – Who could forget ever forget the famous line… “Hang on lady, we going for a ride?” Short Round is awesome in Temple of Doom. He is funny, a bad ass and ultimately saves the day when he snaps Indiana out of his evil trance with a torch. I always have to fight a tear off in this scene when Short Round says, “Indie your my best friend.”
3. Chuck & Morgan (T.V. Show Chuck) – Morgan is Chuck’s rock. He is not the smartest or the best looking or the toughest guy, but he has heart. He is the perfect genuine loyal friend for Chuck in a world of deceit, spies and guns. My favorite Morgan moment is when he accidentally turns in his boss/Mom’s boyfriend to a bad situation and one of the funniest Godfather omage ensues… good stuff.
2. Old Yeller and Friend (Old Yeller)- They don’t call em’ man’s best friend for nothing. I had to include a dog in this list and what better dog than the original classic. Old Yeller was every boy’s dream dog growing up. He saves you from danger, he’s fun and always has the “crazy happy” love for his owner.
1. Sam and Frodo (Lord of the Rings) – Well being one of the greatest epics of all time I had to save the best for last. No character in the history of stories got crapped on as much by a friend that Sam. You have to give Frodo a break due to the whole evil ring deal, but still Sam put up with a lot. Sam is the #1 best friend due to this and the fact that he carried the fate of the world on his shoulders, literally, to save the day (which is the most memorable part of the series for me). Sam also gets extra credit for being a little guy.

This is for my Red Lobster fans….who likes cheese biscuits!!!

First to Worst to First!

Talk about bringing it! I unfortunately was not there last night so I have no details of the utter domination that team Snapple Caps unleashed on the world of Trivia, but talk about regaining our dignity and striking fear into our opponents! I’m sure they’ll be quivering when we show up next week!

Nice work & congrats!

Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) has made a habit of running from what scares him. Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) doesnt have fears. If he did, hed kick their ever-living ass. In a world overrun by zombies, these two are perfectly evolved survivors. But now, theyre about to stare down the most terrifying prospect of all: each other.

Never before has a date in history been so significant to so many cultures, so many religions, scientists, and governments. A global cataclysm brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors.
