I think one reason people obsess over a possible apocalypse is because we don’t feel like it’s all that far away sometimes. It probably won’t really be zombies, but, you know…
This site has a series of 15ish minute talks by some of the most interesting people in the world, and is a wonderful antidote when the more real, less silly fears start to bug you.
Try one. You’ve got just enough time before the Tylenol PM kicks in.
This is funny and a polished-f-ing web comic:
Bad decisions in horror movies are not so far from real life, sometimes. I saw William Saturno give a lecture a few years ago. He got into all the papers because he found some Mayan Murals. I loved his description of how he and his guides managed to get stranded and almost-dead in the Guatemalan jungle in the process:
“How one gets two days into the woods without food or water is, you make a bad decision. But that’s not enough, because there are opportunities to turn back, and you simply don’t. You need to make a series of bad decisions. In fact, you need to be committed to making bad decisions again and again and again, and then you need to put your faith in other people who also make many, many bad decisions. It’s not easy, but we did it.”
A Zombie Emergency will be declared no later than 6 p.m. on any given day. At 9 p.m. on that day, Zombie Emergency Plowing rules begin.
Hide on Day 1 on either side of non-zombie Emergency routes (these streets DO NOT have the red sign: Zombie Emergency Route).
Do not hide on either side of the street with the red sign: Zombie Emergency Route. Zombie hunters will clear (shoot anything that moves) on those streets first.
After a street is fully plowed to the curb, feel free to escape via this street, even if Zombie Emergency rules are still in effect.
Fully plowed means the street is completely cleared of zombies all the way to the curb. Zombie hunters may come through more than once, so make sure that it is fully plowed to the curb before escaping.
Yes. There is always box head…
But this one’s my favorite. It’s called The Last Stand.
We’d love to hear your favorite.

a. This Daily Show clip about the Berlin Wall has a good joke involving zombie nazis 7 min 30 seconds in.
b. Tim is performing in the Splendid Things Show at the Bryant Lake Bowl. It’s every Monday. You liked us every Friday in October? You can see hiiiiiiigh qualiteeeeeee improv (Splendid Things plus a guest group) every Monday. And go see Tim and Doug Neithercott as the Gay/Straight Alliance this particular Monday.
Troy is in Europe… AGAIN…
Tim is having a quarter-life crisis.
Damian is fine.
Aric was our special guest for the year.
We will be back to answer those scenarios. No fear.
Also clips from our last set are coming soon.
I’ve got an idea. Our final show of the year is today, the day before Halloween, Friday at 10:30.
That is the perfect time
Trust me, dude. It’s gonna work.
Thank you in advance to all of you who have come out to see us this year. If we crash and burn tonight, I’m still super-proud of the shows we’ve had so far. Fingers-crossed! Improv!
And thanks to everyone who wrote in submissions to our contests. Check back after today. It’s not over. We’re going to be answering the scenarios that were given to us in this last contest idea, and figuring out other ways to have entertain you all year on this blog.
And if we can’t, we’ll just delete it. Or something. Improv!
Undead Love,
Damian
DEAR GOD send us scenarios! We are feverish to answer. We thirst for the quenching of your thirst for entertainment. Your thirst is our thirst. Our thirst is heavily dependent upon yours and, of the relvant thirsts there is a proportionally– Okay. Look.
We also want to award you tickets to our show. So that’s a bonus. If you live in the Twin Cities. But give it a go. Twin Cities or no.
Only…It’s just that, this one scenario is taken:
Handsome plaid-wearing Robot, savior of humanity, has trouble killing humans, even if they’re undead.
We’ve taken a scenario from last week’s honorable mention, Paul R. We’ll be posting our responses soon. He’ll be receiving two tickets to see our final show this Friday! You could win tickets to our final show, too! Send us a scenario. The final drawing is this Wednesday!
We want to know the things you think of. We know you think of zombies. Don’t be afraid. Get it out.
It could be as simple as, You’re trapped by Museum Hospitality in a room in the Louvre and you know it’s time to leave. Like in this video:
Hey! Send us a scenario! Win free tickets! We got some good footage of the last show. But it’s always better in person… Sadly. Otherwise we’d do this in a free room at the library and just put it on YouTube.
