Zombieland

I finally saw Zombieland. It was good. I'm putting it at #9 on my list (so long Cemetery Man). In the zom-rom-com subcategory it's better at the zom and rom than Shaun of the Dead, but not as good at the com. Though there is one element that I won't mention that is brilliant.  It's a spoof on the 28 Days Later non-zombie zombies as opposed to the Romero Zombies that Shaun of the Dead spoofs. No, this has nothing to do with bikes.

As a Pittsburgh resident, the Zombie Capital of the World™, a bicycle is, of course, a major part of my Zombie Plan. It's able to move silently across a myriad of terrains and light enough that it can be carried over obstacles. It may not be swift enough to deal with the Zombieland non-zombie zombies but we all know that those aren't REAL zombies. And bicycles are given high survivability marks in Max Brooks' "Zombie Survival Guide."

Sure, the autodominionists will be claiming Hummers and SUV's and laughing at me while they drive away but you know what a typical rush hour is like. Imagine what it will be like when the zombie apocalypse arrives. The highways will be nothing but a tasty flesh bottleneck.

Remember Rule #7: Travel light.

This has everything to do with bikes! What is *your* plan to escape the city after the bioagent/dirtybomb/zombie/alien attack? I bet it's not trying to drive out on Connecticut Avenue....
