A Man's Perspective: The Burial Edition

Me: "I want to be cremated. Hands down."

Mike: "Well yeah, everyone wants to be cremated. But have you really thought it through? What if there's a zombie apocalypse?"

Me: "What about it?"

Mike: "A zombie apocalypse. Don't you want to be reanimated into a zombie?"

Me: "If there's a zombie apocalypse, I highly doubt it is going to involve reanimated corpses."

Mike: "What? It's all about the black magic."

Me: "No. It's going to be more like the modern version of zombie, like a disease or a parasite."

Mike: "Why? Because it's cool and hip to be a modern disease zombie? Voodoo has been around way longer."

Me: "It's more realistic."

Mike: "Black magic. I refuse your modern theories and reality."

Me: "If I come back with black magic I'll be like, a dust spirit zombie combination!"

Mike: "Yeah, but you'd still be dust."

Me: "But I would be hard to kill. I'd be little floating particles-- meaning I'd be more evasive!"

Mike: "Still dust."

Me: "I'm guessing you want to be buried because of this."

Mike: "I don't know yet."

Me: "You can't base something like this over the cool idea of being reanimated into the living dead."

Mike: "Yes I can. What else am I going to be doing with my time? I am going to be dead. May as well plan for a zombie apocalypse."

Me: "That is just false hope."

Mike: "No hope when you're dead. Maybe as well be walking around, eating people."

  4. I totally wanted to be cremated. But now I don't know. Flying? Or zombie? How is one supposed to choose between those?

    Then I was just thinking that zombies are kind of boring with their never ending slow lurch. But they DO keep going, right? And nobody would ever call the Energizer Bunny boring, right?

    Crap. I'm so torn.
