  • De-Animator (lovecraft,,games,,zombie,,flash,)
    • A game where you shoot zombies? FTW! Gruesome and annoying, I warn you. I can't get past 6 zombies. Based on Lovecraft's Re-Animator.

Re: the first squirrel image.

Years ago, when we still had our back deck, I put out some old Quaker 100% Natural granola that had gone stale, figuring the birds and/or squirrels would eat it.

One squirrel came up and began to munch. He started off eating quickly and got progressively slower, but he managed to eat it all, which was a couple of bowls worth of nice, fatty cereal.

Once he finally finished, he dragged himself up to the top of the railing and laid there, just like the one in the first picture of the link you posted. I think he was experiencing overload!

And by the way, Benny Lava did indeed require explanation, and my research led me to learn all about mondegreens. Fascinating!

Thanks for expanding my knowledge, James!

I also required explanation. I love Wikipedia.

I love Toon Crisis because it uses Gogol Bordello as the soundtrack.

I got to 78 Zombies (stage 8) relatively quickly. You have to click ON the zombies, not just in the right direction.

28 zombies on my 1st try. Damn revolver is too slow reloading.

You remember better when you have to work for it a little. :)

Actually I was being annoyingly, but slightly amusingly, facetious.

Thanks Chuck, 58 on my first try after learning that you have to click on the Zombies. No wonder I kept missing. Playing on the laptop was a real drag.

I loved that video, Benny Lava!

Hat tip to Bob McCown for that video, BTW.
