Doug , I think an intervention is needed here .
Not yet, but I am REALLY sick of Joe Thiesman and his superbeta expialadocious prostate crap.
.
Prostate cancer kills more people than breast cancer, but the breasts get more attention bc they look much better than a prostate.

Todd's first course of action should be to refinish is Block, I think the rest of the board refers to it as a Glock. I didn't think the blue/white swishy thing would stay this long.

yep. Tires of zombies, tires of my being used in front of every business (mylowes.com, myuhc.com, ect.), and tired of facebook and twitter (don't participate.), Worried about what silliness will come next.
Nothing in the past few years has fueled the gun industry like Zombies. I think it's awesome. Whatever gets people into the stores, at the gunshows, or online to buy guns is 100% win in my book. The explosion in AR15 sales in the past 5 years (especially first time buyers) is almost certainly in large part due the ZA.
The ZA is the element of humor that covers up the real primary reason most of us own firearms... that in the end, a firearm is simply a specialized tool with one purpose. The ZA is for most people, just a symbol of the unknown problems a person may be faced with where a firearms is the solution... a tool to be used for a specialized task. Self defense, civil unrest, natural disasters, home invasion, urban defense, terrorist attack, survival hunting, etc.... these are all potentially the modern Zombie Apocalypse.
I never advertise, I don't "brag", I rarely offer advice that isn't asked for, but my answer for all of the following questions people routinely ask me is: "It's for when the Zombies come."
"Why do you have 8 filled propane cylinders under your deck?"
"Why do you have 50 cases of bottled water in the shed?"
"What's all that stuff in your trailer?"
"Why do you always carry a knife on you?"
"What's all that pepper spray for?"
"Why does your kids bedroom door have a deadbolt?"
"What's in the safe?"
"Why do you have so much plywood?"
"Isn't there a generator in the garage too?"
"Holy crap man, how come you have so much peanut butter?"
"Why do you own an assault rifle?"
When I say "It's for when the Zombies come", they instantly understand that I'm simply preparing for the unknown... call it a "disaster" if you like, but they know it's not just for when the power goes out or if there's a big storm. I've managed to get it through the heads of a lot of my friends that they are completely unprepared for what I hope I am. My single buddies just buy more guns, but my family-having buddies become overnight preppers (even if only on a small scale) pretty much overnight. All of this is due the Zombies, and I'm a big fan.

Well put, I just hope the ZA will hold off until after I graduate and can afford to decently prep!!!
When talking about prepping I try to highlight real dangers such as meteors, emp, hurricanes, economic collapse but zombies are a bit more fun and as u will soon realize on the walking dead people are more dangerous than zombies... So to prepare for a za is to prepare for roving bandits etc as well. When the food runs out u will see the real zombies....
As for zombie movies and films they've only gotten better so I don't see them going anywhere anytime...
I actually hated walking dead season two. The comic is so much better... I am hopeful season three will get back to the comic or at least get better.

My only complaint about all the Zombie firearm related items is why must they cost 10% to 30% more than the "normal" versions of said items? Then again, if I could figure out a way to capitalize on the zombie market to make an additional 10% to 30% on the services I provide, I'd do it too. I wonder how many clients would get a kick out of their financial statements and tax returns being printed on zombie green paper in blood red ink?
I think your on to something. I bet you'd get alot of request. Silly as it may sound you'd probably run out of paper and ink.
