To think it is incorrect to refer to zombies as dead

[Lucyellensmum95]

They are clearly not dead! They are moving, breathing, they respond, need to feed etc - they are not dead are they???

Sprinkleliberally. Not daily. Well I guess it depends what you are sprinkling. Anyway, I digress. I think the key here is that they are no longer human and become 'other' and thus dead.

Brains not brians! Although that isn't to say that the re-animated are not able to eat Brians. Anyone can eat a Brian.

i don't know kim, but then if they don't die, do they need to? but yes, reproduction is a criteria of life.

Brian may not want to eat Brian. Or have anyone else eat him for that matter.

They don't need to reproduce because they just have to bite a member of the non-dead community in order to produce another member of their alternative community. FGS people have some compassion.

If it's Brian from the Yoni thread, eating's too good for him.

They are dead...but not in the traditional sense?

Typical MN. Now they start on the Brians....

I wonder if Brian attends to the yoni (plural?) of the re-animated community?

I can't imagine that a zombie has the dexterity for yoni massage

ZOmbie yoni massage with brian.

someone pass me the brian bleach

Well. They have definitely been previously dead, hence their unusual status. But they are now alive. So, "the creatures formerly known as dead" is both snappy and factual.

*BRAIN bleach ffs brian, brian why is brian on my brain, feckin zombies they've learnt mind control

Why do you all feel the need to label them :(

but have they really been previously dead? wasn't there a disease in papua new guinea that resulted in people being buried alive because they appeared to be dead? WAsn't this where the zombie myth started? I think its called Kuru, its a prion disease like CJD and BSE and was actually thought to be passed on via cannibalism.

Oh yes. I saw it on The Walking Dead. Actual brain activity stopped for hours. And Egg from This Life said it.

I really think people need to listen up here. If it wasn't for the OP I would have had no idea how to repel distasteful haribo munching plebs on the bus with the handy placement of a bag. This woman knows her onions.

Speaking of cannibalism, as we clearly were, is feeding left over egg sandwich to the birds in fact encouraging cannibalism? One does wonder.

They are Differently Dead.

I'm not labelling them. One of my most favourite Mnetters is a zombie [wink[

Or even

Zombies have feelings too y'know.

Zombie is NOT dead. Nor is she "ficticious" or "imaginary". Her Yoni has had bits cut out of it this week but is otherwise in fine fettle - or will be once her cervix has healed.

yes but greenpeppercorn - it didn't work! So selective bag placement is not part of my zombie plan!
