Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I would never say coming down the pipe
Why? It's new, and you apparently like those fancy newfangled things, hmm??

I've never heard it as another *think* coming. The -k sound at the end of "think" and the hard -c at the beginning of "coming" just don't work for me. Clearly, it's "thing."

Pike is like turnpike, right?
Don't disagree with me; I am a damn zombie now and I will eat your brains.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I realize that most people didn't grow up where one of the major highways is almost always just called "The Pike," like I did. So coming down the pike just makes obvious sense in my head.

I'm not coming into the office tomorrow, woo! But I will work from home some. So that's good. I just could not be more distracted and less able to focus on work right now.

Yup.
Zombies and Cyborgs abounding on the board.

The main road where I grew up is called "Ohio Pike," so that makes sense to me.
