Surely, this, if it doesn’t kill my characters first, will make a dent in the Predator?! (Thanks, Dave Larsen.)

I want that. As long as I’m not on the business end.
Last summer I went to visit a writer buddy of mine. In his day job he’s homicide detective. Anyway, we were supposed to have made it down to the shooting range to play with MP5s and other assorted boomsticks, but ran out of time. Sigh.

That’s some serious firepower. Me, if I had to go up against the Predator, I’d pack a pair of .500 Magnums.

Agreed, but how often do we know when we’re going to have to go up against a Predator? Most of us would be stuck with just our Bics. ;-)

What the hell is that thing firing? Why make a gun that seems to, at the very least, punch the shooter in the face? Actually, scratch that question.
When the zombie apocolypse comes, I want to be the side kick of someone toting that. Not the side kick that dies, the other one.

Dave Larson: I just read your comment and doused my computer with a mouthful of Sunny D! Too funny. If that were the case, It’d just be a matter of putting your head between your knees and kissing your ass goodbye. Now, a Gillette Mach 5 might even it up a little . . .
Tess: OK. The computer just got a second shower. I’m gonna have to find a blog where there’s less danger of LMAO . . . my monitor can’t take this (not to mention my keys ae going to gum up now).

Tess:
Every time I see “Tess in Japan” I get that Tom Waits song “Big in Japan” stuck in my head.

Tess, you need this: http://amazon.com/gp/product/1400049628/ref=s9_flash_image_seed/105-4690746-0191602?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=0YM6D94DGKT8SF9VN5C8&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=311498401&pf_rd_i=507846
The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead by Max Brooks (this is actually on my “to read” list).

Hope no one minds me listing these, but here’s an interview I did with Max Brooks: http://mattstaggs.blogspot.com/2007/03/interview-with-max-brooks-author-world.html
As well as a review of World War Z:

Warning – the review is pretty badly written. Not my best.

Cool. World War Z is on my read list too.
Thank you, sir.

Way ahead of you Ennis, I have me a copy of the Zombie Survival Guide, yah huh.
Matt, I am big in Japan. First time in my life I’ve ever been tall. Being able to see over people is a great thing.

LOL!
