Married with Zombies read-along: Week Two
1.In Chapter 6, Sarah and Dave raid Amanda’s apartment for guns… When they come out they run into their super, Mr. Gonzales, when he tries to attract Sarah: What does she hit? Do you have one of these? You could totally bash some Zombie brains with one! Show me whatcha got! If you don’t have one of these, then anything that you would find in a hallway of an apartment building!
I don’t live in an apartment, but my office building has a fire extinguisher! I’ve heard they are pretty heavy, so I don’t know that I could actually bash a zombie’s brain with one, but you better believe I’d try.
2. In Chapter 7, Sarah and David are watching a news report of the zombie attacks when the doctor on TV attacks the reporter… The news crew steps in and starts bashing the zombie with a _______, grab the nearest similar object (whatever’s handy) that you would use if you were attacked at WORK!
This is my office, and as you can see, it’s a very tiny space. At work, I’m currently in the middle of sorting all my files, so if a zombie attacks me while I’m there, I’ll be able to paper cut it to death. Or I could grab my apple paperweight and bludgeon the crap out of it.
3. Chapter 8… Amanda, Sarah and Dave are preparing to head out of town, and while they’re getting in the car, three zombies attack them! Sarah bashes one with the butt of her shot gun as instinct takes over, so whatcha got? You’re getting in your car, fleeing the city- zombies attack, no guns or knives… What are you going to use to defend yourself??
Gah! If I was attacked while getting in my car, I’d be SOL because there is nothing useful in Polly (that’s what I named my car). Oh, wait. I suppose the umbrella in the trunk might come in handy, but if not, I could always throw my bike on a zombie. Wait!! What am I saying? Throw my bike? Never. I’d rather be zombie meat than harm my baby.
P.S. The picture is of my car – Polly, my bike – Shiva, and Shiva’s twin sister. LOL
4. In Chapter 9 & 10 there aren’t any zombie killings… That we could replicate!!! So, give me a couple of your favorite quotes from Chapters 5-10!!!
I’m listening to the audiobook of MwZ, so catching quotes is kind of hard, but I love the chapter titles. The marriage advice and zombie survival tips mixed together are so funny.

Your office looks nice and cozy. You might be riding that bike to flee the zombies since the freeways are clogged. At least you have a fire extinguisher. I am doomed!

Your office looks so cosy- I love it!
My car’s name is Bessie
I think you could definitely do some zombies some damage- love the pics!

You know those paper cuts hurt more than anything. You might totally win with that idea! All you need is lemon juice to complete the torture! bwa ha ha!
I’m also so sad that you haven’t named Shiva’s twin! Plus, I’m glad I’m not the only one who has named her cars. One was Tigger and the other was Big Blue.

Zombie death by paper cut is epic & tragic. An apple a day is supposed to keep the doctor away, not kill ya. Totally love Shiva. So proud of you. My Shiva hasn’t been touched in about a year. *sigh* and most recently was shoved through the sheet rock into my dining room from the garage. I don’t think that is a Kama sutra move at all.

I think an apple a day will keep a zombie at bay! I mean at one point they were all pupils in school and some teacher at some time was nice to them. So in the back of their zombie minds they could never harm someone who appears to work at a school. What? It sounds perfectly logical to me.
Do you have a bike tire pump? I think that could do some damage and is probably in your garage or trunk

See, you and Charley are so much alike! You totally named your car AND your bike! Did you name your belly button? And that apple on your desk is so cute. Too bad you’ll be needing it to bash in some heads. And if I have a fire, you’re going to need to come and save me because I have no fire extinguisher. Yes, you’ll need to save me. Not the fire department, YOU! LOL! *HUGS*

Love your pics. The apple paperweight is a definite win. It is so shiny, I wouldn’t want to lose it LOL! The bikes are a great idea. I love that. Fire extinguishers seem to be quite an issue with us LOL! We really need to work on that LOL! Oh, I just thought about my tire iron. That would also be a great weapon. Awesome post hon, thank you for sharing

” so if a zombie attacks me while I’m there, I’ll be able to paper cut it to death.” LMAO. That paperweight looks much heavier! And I don’t blame you for not throwing your bike, that baby will come in handy when the gas runs out!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Paper cut it to death… Freaking CLASSIC! I love it!
Dude, I guarentee you that if I got ON a bike- I couldn’t ride it. Maybe I could get one with training wheels? Would you be embarrassed to ride with me?!?!
xoxo

Moving on, your office is so clean! Yes, we can definitely be friends now
I think it’s adorable that you named your car and bikes. Do you do this for everything?
