Also, that article failed to mention if velociraptors can work old-style elevators with the cage-type doors you have to open, and then press a button to get to my floor. Also, do they have a good sense of smell, and if they smell the cat box that hasn't been cleaned in a while, will that attract or repell them?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

you should never be farther than 20 feet away from a tire iron.

Re: baseball. How much longer is the World Series? I tried to look it up but all I found were detailed stories about somebody's pitching hand with dirt on it and all that. I just want to know how much longer I have to do without House and Bones.

Baseball's off tonight, but they've played two games so far and it will go to a minimum of five games since they've split the two already played, so the earliest baseball will be finished will be Thursday or Friday (can't remember if they take a day off between games 4 and 5).

OMG, now I have to worry about zombies AND velociraptors? Man!
Not if they go after each other.

Swords are better, unless the velociraptor happens to be wearing chainmail.

How much longer is the World Series?
Through this week.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
How much longer is the World Series?
It can be over as soon as Thursday, but as late as Sunday. So new House next week.

Good point. So what you need to do is cover your floor with sticky stuff. This will delay the zombies just long enough for a velociraptor to show up.
But not vice-versa.

If they're wearing chainmail, then things have gotten so strange that I'm packing a crossbow by default. So I should be good.

Catching up:
Diagrammed sentences in high school. Was terribly bored by it and didn't retain much.
Must go back and edit everything I post to correct errant "it's" and "its" as well as "their/there/they're" confusions. I know which are correct, but first drafts will fly into print by ear rather than brain. Homophones are not my friends.
My SAT verbals are now perfect 800s! My combined scores are less than Buffy's (and hence Jessica's) though. Knowing that Jessica cannot add three digit numbers together, though, is some small consolation.
I write 80's more often than 80s and never write '80s. I don't defend this practice.
I'm also prone to random comma insertion, but have learned to go back and edit them out. Serial commas are unnecessarily anal, however, and I enjoy watching fusty grammarians wail in torment as they are inevitably weeded out by our fast moving culture. Ha ha! I laugh at your grammar pain.
