Frankenstein Hangs Up The Bolts

Frank Hangs up the Bolts

With Halloween just around the corner, (And the goose is getting fat) kids and adults are finishing their costumes for the big party. Way back when Frankenstein was a very popular choice of costume. Nowadays, nary a single neck bolt will be seen for Halloween. Oh, how times have changed.

Instead, there will be hundreds of thousands of people dressed as Walking Dead zombies. As the AMC series The Walking Dead ratings continue to climb as the highest rated cable television program, zombie crawls and zombie outings are a part of our culture. (George Romero would sure be proud)

Ironically, Frankenstein was the original undead monster (Zombie) and is now eeking out a minimal living at the retirement home playing small birthday parties and goth weddings.

Alive...ALIVE...IT'S ALIVE...

Happy Halloween

LURKING, IN THE SHADOWS, ON THE GRASSY KNOLL

Zombie Crawl And My 2000th Post

It was late in the evening and my best friend Gumby and I were walking home from the bar. Suddenly I got a text from my son saying a zombie outbreak was in progress and the city was being over run with the walking dead.

After absorbing the news, we picked up our pace to return to my zombie fortress, (Yes folks, I have prepared for the zombie apocalypse) when a horde of zombies blocked our path.

The zombies spotted us and we stopped in our tracks. I tell Gumby that I was glad I decided to wear my Nike running shoes. Gumby, looking frightened out of his mind said, "It doesn't matter what type of shoes you're wearing dude, you're not going to outrun the horde. There's to many of them."

I replied back to Gumby after doing a few quick stretches, "I don't have to outrun the horde, I just have to out run you!"

PS: This is the Grassy Knoll Institute's 2000th post. How befitting it is during the Halloween season, posting about the Zombie outbreak, and me throwing Gumby under the bus. (His nick name is sled)

I want to thank everyone past, present, and future who have visited my secret lair and shared a few laughs with me. I truly appreciate it.

Happy Halloween
