I've wanted a Vespa ever since I first saw "the Stand". I think a Moped is a good 2nd choice for me. I should probably start shopping now.
Nothing good in the calendar today, but here's an anthem for you all to listen to this weekend.
Well, I made a haircut appointment for tomorrow. I'd hate the world to end and that be one of the last things I did. 
A co-worker will be flying to Alabama tomorrow night. Hopefully her pilot doesn't get raptured.

I've been lazy about reading the calendar's tips, so here's a couple tidbits to catch up! 
WEAN YOURSELF OFF LUXURY ITEMS:Most of us dream of a simpler yet more nutritious diet. Im cutting down on coffee, I need to have less sugar, Im trying to eat more leafy greens are phrases we either speak or hear frequently in everyday life.
Living through a Class 4 outbreak would leave you with little choice. Even in ideal conditions, it would be impossible to grow or produce every food and chemical you now enjoy. To go from so much to zero overnight would be a significant shock to your system.
Instead, begin to cut down on the foods and luxury items you will not have in your new home.
Even without going down a long list now, common sense will dictate exactly what you can and cannot live without.
For example, as much as you love them, tobacco and alcohol are not part of human physiology. Cravings for vitamins, minerals, and sugar can be satisfied with natural foods.
Even certain medications such as light pain relievers can be supplemented with skills like acupressure, various massage techniques, or even simple meditation. All of these suggestions might sound a little too foreign or crunchy granola for our practical, Western society.
Remember though that many of these diet and healing techniques originated not with Northern California burnouts but with Third World societies where resources were and are scarce.
Always keep in mind how spoiled Americans are in comparison to the rest of the planet. Studying the so-called less fortunate might give you some insight into how to handle problems with simpler, if not as comfortable, means.
LIST YOUR GEAR, BE READY TO SHOP:Any competent disaster-survival manual should catalog everything you will need to begin a new life. Always maintain three detailed and up-to-date lists:
1. What you absolutely need to survive.
2. Equipment to help build and expand your dwelling and surroundings.
3. If not all the comforts of home, at least a close approximation. If finances permit, purchase all your items immediately.
Do not depend on catalogs or on-line purchases. So-called express freight is unreliable enough in normal circumstances. What would it be like in an emergency? Keep all this information with your list. Adjust it accordingly. Always have a cash reserve for the bare essentials (the total amount will depend on the prices of your gear).
Even before the situation spirals out of control, checks and credit cards will not compare to the comfort of paper money.

What she said.
I agree. It's part of why I've grown to hate this calendar.
Without coffee, sugar, tobacco & alcohol...Geez. I might as well BE a Zombie !!
What SHE said ^
caffeine, sugar, and nicotine are be the only things that might possibly give me any edge over the zombies...

well, of course we need those too...they'll give my beasties an edge over the zombies. (loved that video!)
I would totally kidnap that dog and feed him maple flavored bacon every day if I could find him...But what about maple flavored bacon? Cat treats? Sorry, ultimate dog tease has been stuck in my head for the past couple weeks.
Part of what makes the dog video so funny is that that is exactly how I think I look & respond when my son's are telling me a story about their antics... I keep telling them we could make a video with ME as the dog... "yeah...yeah? ..and then what?"..SON: "And THEN I bought myself a video game instead of putting gas in your car..." ME: "Ahhhhh Nooooo"....
Time for another very Late Zombie Calendar update! For June 27th, topic is Zombie Attributes;Domestication
I thought this one might be of special interest to Mac!
"The zombie brain has proved, so far, to be tamper-proof. Experiments ranging from chemicals to surgery to electromagnetic waves have yielded negative results. Behavioral modification therapy and other such attempts to train the living dead like some kind of pack animal have similarly met with failure. It will exist as is, or it will not exist at all."

Indeed. They should have contacted me ages ago. I could have saved them lots of time and money.
This is a bold statement with no evidence to support it. Just because their efforts have failed does not mean everyone elses have.
Which chemicals? Where are the peer reviewed journals? Have they focused on transdermal? Intravenous? Sublingual? I submit that the philosopher's stone is out there. If you search hard enough.
This is a prime example of the author's aparent failure to think outside the box. Human medicine cannot prepare one for operating on the undead. The surgeon must center and quiet his mind. Then the supernatual aspects must surely come in to play at some point. So where are those journals? What type of voodoo altar was used? Peering into the dark with a naked eye does not qualify one to assert that there is nothing waiting in said darkness.
EM tech is still in it's infancy. It is a bit presumptious in my opinion to rule it out completely at this juncture.
To the authors knowledge perhaps but this is hardly a closed topic.
This is true if talking about the payment schedule for guests at the casino.
Well, not to speak FOR him but... I think he's delving more into genetic modification. Maybe it will end the debate on 'nature vs nurture' once and for all
The debate has been over for a while now. I just haven't made the populous aware of it yet.
Hey Zombie fighters! It's been pretty quiet around here, so hopefully you're all out sharpening your tools, and aren't being held hostage at Mac's casino!
I thought it was time for some Zombie calendar tips. Take care out there!
Apply the principles regarding police stations, hospitals, and houses of worship to state, municipal, and federal government buildings. Most will be the focus of concentrated human activity, making them centers of chaos and zombie congregation. Avoid all government buildings if possible.
Buildings in poorer, inner-city neighborhoods tend to be more secure than others. Their reliance on high fences, razor wire, barred windows, and other anti-crime features make them readily defensible. Buildings in middle- or high-income areas tend to emphasize aesthetics. What rich city council wants an eyesore in its neighborhood? Instead of ugly, even tacky, safety features, these affluent people rely more heavily on law enforcement and private security (forces of proven unreliability). For these reasons, and if the situation permits, head away from the suburbs and toward the inner city.

I would agree with that, although my first plan would be to run to the hills. (Iron Maiden now playing in the back of my head.)
When I first moved to Phoenix, I had moved into a cheap place downtown; and in the 6 months I lived in that apartment, there were probably a little over a dozen people murdered within a half mile of me (2 within a block); yet I never felt more secure in any other house in the Phoenix area. That complex was like a small prison, and very secure.
