What follows is the 3 step program that I prepared in the event you are attack by the undead horde.</p>
<p>Decapitation-</p>
<p>As we all know the only way to kill a zombie is to sever said zombie’s head. With that in mind I have lowered all of my ceiling fans to neck height.</p>
<p>Misdirection-</p>
<p>I have placed “Free Brains” sighs on all of my neighbors doors. I am not sure if zombies can read but if they can my hope is they will pass me by.</p>
<p>Appeasement-</p>
<p>I have posted a sign on my front door that lists directions to my local Walmart. I say that <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="it" href="../tag/it/">it</a> is a store full of brains and is called Brainmart. This might seem cruel but lets face facts. Those people are already dead inside.</p>
<p>Feel free to implement this plan if you don’t already have one, unless you are my neighbor.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gentile reader,</p>
<p>As you may know, I have many odd medical conditions as I have spoken of<a title="http://www.monkeychapps.com/best-way-to-make-friends-and-get-suspended/" href="http://www.monkeychapps.com/best-way-to-make-friends-and-get-suspended/" target="_blank"> here</a>, <a title="http://www.monkeychapps.com/my-stink-eye/" href="http://www.monkeychapps.com/my-stink-eye/" target="_blank">here</a> and<a title="http://www.monkeychapps.com/god-did-smite-me-with-great-smoteness/" href="http://www.monkeychapps.com/god-did-smite-me-with-great-smoteness/" target="_blank"> here</a>. <a title="http://www.monkeychapps.com/disabilities-no-uber-abilities-part-3/" href="http://www.monkeychapps.com/disabilities-no-uber-abilities-part-3/" target="_blank">This</a> is a good one as well. Nothing has freaked me out as much as my latest  oddity.</p>
<p>I was sitting in my favorite chair, legs crossed as I penned my latest missive to Ron Paul to tell him how he has affected my life and that he is nuttier than a chipmunk turd( I write him once a week lest he forget). I got up to get a soda and felt an odd tingle in my crotch (not like that you perverts). I knew this feeling, my crotch had fallen asleep!</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t know this was possible and was scared. Legs or feet that fall asleep are in fact you just feeling in the loss of blood flow to that part of the body but this was localized. Nothing below or above my crotch had this same feeling. I was in full freak-out! I stood up, no good. I tried to &#8220;walk it off&#8221;, that helps with legs but not here. I  paced back and forth thinking if I should call 911.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yes hello, I have severe tingling in my groin&#8230;&#8230;. Yes I know this line is for emergencies and I&#8217;m not joking&#8221;. Thats how the call would go, or so I imagined. I thought it best not to call.</p>
<p>I stopped, thought about it rationally and sat back down in the chair. Just as I thought! The seams of my cargo pants run across my femoral arteries and when I cross my legs the cut blood flow to the arteries. Not much but enough to freak my freak.</p>
<p>Problem solved! Blood flow normalized. I sat back in my chair and crossed my legs.</p>
<p>20 minutes later, you guessed it.It happens again.</p>
<p>I hate ADD.</p>
<p>Gotta go, I see something shiny.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.monkeychapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/leonidas-and-persian-messenger-31.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-562" title="leonidas-and-persian-messenger-31" src="http://www.monkeychapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/leonidas-and-persian-messenger-31-296x300.jpg" alt="" width="296" height="300" /></a>My back was killing me. I had just moved into my new house and all the lifting really tweaked my back. I’m not sure why, I was keeping my legs locked and lifting with my groin as I was taught. I took a hand full painkillers and still could not sleep, I needed a heat pad. I was not feeling pain but I knew I had to fix my back or I would pay for it in the morning. Looks like I was to head to Walmart as it was 4 am.</p>
<p>Walmart at its best is a nightmare, the shallow end of the gene pool laid bare for all to see. At <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="it" href="../tag/it/">it</a>’s worst its akin to a Fellini movie starring the cast of Deliverance. As I walked in I was accosted by some twenty-something stoners driving the Walmart scooters in circles. The scooters are for the elderly and disabled. Cheech and Chong over here seemed to think that the carts were meant for them and not the elderly lady walking in the door. After a few moments of this lady waiting for the stoners to get up and offer her a cart she started to hobble into the store. I saw this and as I had already reached my limit of rudeness and bullshit for the day took action.</p>
<p>I walked over and yelled “Hey, jackball. Get of the cart”. His reply was that there were other carts available and then he questioned my parentage. I tend to act rashly at times and my tolerance for <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="jackassery" href="../tag/jackassery/">jackassery</a> is very low, so I leaned back a bit, raised my knee to waist height and loosed a vicious snap kick to the scooter seat. The desired effect was realized as the hippie went flying. His buddy got of his scooter and I walked the scooter over to lady. She said she was fine and I insisted that she use the scooter that she obviously needed. She thanked me and I wished a good day.</p>
<p>The moral of my story should be obvious by now, I am a complete tool with poor impulse control. That and I think I’m a superhero. A Walmart Superhero!</p>

Brandon! Brandon, come here!</p>
<p>Thats what I heard for five minutes while we were in the Quicky Mart. Your 3 year old was running all over and knocking stuff down while you and your Whiskey Tango (white trash) wife were getting your post methadone clinic Big Gulps. You would just just yell every 30 seconds “Brandon come here” like an hillbilly fog horn. I wanted to yell “turn your fat jowls and watch your <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="crotch" href="../tag/crotch/">crotch</a> fruit, yelling Brandon every thirty seconds does not make up for your lack of parenting “. I chose not to as I just wanted out of there.</p>
<p>I paid and left and I guess you paid as well as you came out of the store as I was unlocking my car. Brandon came running out of the door and straight towards the open traffic. At 2 foot he would run right by me and not be seen by the car that was coming. I glanced at you hoping to see a look of horror as you realized the impending impact but not you were busy playing with a coupon for Skoal Bandits. I grabbed the kid with my free hand and jerked him back from running in front of that car and then walked him over to you for what I thought would be a hero’s welcome.</p>
<p>Not so much. You just squared off and said that I should get my hands off of your son. I asked you if you were sure he was your son because your wife looks like a real goer, know what I mean? Say no more. Nudge nudge, wink wink.</p>
<p>I have since found out that Monty Python references seem to make white trash confused and upset and want to fight.</p>
<p>You raised your fists, started to say something and kicked you square in the nuts. I’m not a fighter, I’m not a lover either but what I am is a cheap bastard and I didn’t want to spill the soda in my right hand. So in retrospect I am sorry I kicked you in the <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="balls" href="../tag/balls/">balls</a> but I felt threatened and reacted.</p>
<p>I hope Brandon is ok and you are feeling better. The soda was delicious.</p>

<p>Was <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="it" href="../tag/it/">it</a> cheap?                                No.</p>
<p>Is <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="it" href="../tag/it/">it</a> as big as a brick?                   Yes.</p>

<p>Will <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="it" href="../tag/it/">it</a> cause brain tumors?            Probably.</p>
<p>Am I a total and complete tool?     Heck yes!</p>
<p>I had a <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="geek" href="../tag/geek/">geek</a> friend that I had worked with at ATT build <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="it" href="../tag/it/">it</a>. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="It" href="../tag/it/">It</a> took almost a year and will probably cause my hair to fall out but now I can jam cell phone signals within 15 feet. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="It" href="../tag/it/">It</a> works on GSM signals as well as CDMA. I feel like <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Batman" href="../tag/batman/">Batman</a> with all the cool gadgets except I have no other skills, I’m not rich and look terrible in black. Otherwise I am so <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Batman" href="../tag/batman/">Batman</a>!</p>
<p>With great power comes great responsibility, well kinda. I decided that I couldn’t just zapp anyone who mildly annoyed me so I came up with the five second rule. At the first instance of annoying me I would count to 5 and then use the jimmy jam if needed . There are a few exceptions.</p>
<p>Guy in line at target that is to distracted by his phone call to pay thereby making everyone in line wait. 5 4 3 2 1 zap. You then spent 2 minutes yelling “are you there” into your phone.</p>
<p>Chick in the elevator that pushed the button for the 43nd floor then proceeded to make a phone call. What are you thinking? We are all in a small box 2 feet away from one another. 5 4 3 2 1 zap.</p>
<p>Guy at the dry cleaners saying how Dreamworks is looking to put you in thier next movie. You are just saying this so that the hot chick that you have been trying to make eye contact with will hear you. No countdown, you have just activated the douchebag clause.</p>
<p>Guy at the DMV. I need to apologize to you. We both had a grueling 1 hour wait and I passed the time by allowing you to contact your party and then zapping. This went on for 20 minutes. I am sure you are an <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="asshat" href="../tag/asshat/">asshat</a> but I am sorry to do that to you.</p>
<p>Hippie chick in the car next to me. The PETA and the pro-choice bumper stickers on your car pissed me off. So its ok to kill a baby as long its not a baby seal? I followed you for 5 miles just to move into zapping range as you started a conversation. Was <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="it" href="../tag/it/">it</a> a bit stalkery, yes but you were a special circumstance.</p>
<p>So, my friends, if you are in trouble and you can find me maybee you can hire the jimmy jam.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am not what one would call a gourmet. Not a gastronomical engineer nor a culinary specialist. My meals are usually ordered through a clowns head of some sort then delivered by a person who&#8217;s lack of hygiene is only rivaled by their apathy. But I digress.</p>
<p>I decide that I need to learn hot to cook bake or at the very least make food hot in preparation for consumption. To that end I hit the grocery store and searched for a home made meal that wouldn&#8217;t tax my limited skills. I settled on fish sticks and coleslaw, best not to set the bar too high.</p>
<p>I got the fish sticks home and remebered that I needed tartar sauce. Whats in that anyway? Just mayo and pickles and some other stuff, I can make that. I took the sticks out and read the directions on the box, heat in oven for bla bla bla. I was already bored and thought that the crux of cooking was just applying heat. Who cares where it comes from, right? That when I saw it, the toaster. It works for pop tarts why not this application. Why hasn&#8217;t this been done before, why not this method on the box. I think the fish people have a deal with the oven people. But I digress, twice now.</p>
<p>Now onto the tarter sauce. A little mayo, a bit of relish and what else? I know it needs something else. How bout those horsey sauce packets I got from Arby&#8217;s? Something else, something crunchy. Baco bits! I love bacon, I love mayo.</p>
<p>Now that I have the sauce time to put the sticks in the toaster, I can get half of a box in here.</p>
<p>Without boring you I will tell you of my findings.</p>
<p>1. The sauce was disgusting, although crunchy.</p>
<p>2. The tensile strength of fish sticks when place upright is greatly degraded. After 3 minutes the oils in the fish turn the coating into little balls and the integrity of the whole stick is compromised.</p>
<p>3. When the sticks are cooked into a toaster said toaster is never the same and will always reek of hot fish oil.</p>
<p>3a. Hot fish oil is a great name for a band.</p>
<p>4. When the toaster ejects the finished sticks all that emerges are thousands of tiny hot and oily crumbs. Its like a ticker tape parade but with steaming fish balls.</p>
<p>After I cleaned up the mess the next words to come out of my mouth were &#8221; ya I&#8217;d like a #3 combo, can you super size that for me&#8221;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I hate the French!</p>
<p>Ya that&#8217;s right, I said it.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know when it started but I recall being 6 and when offered French toast I replied with a hardy &#8220;hell no&#8221;. As I grew older and learned more about history my disdain for all things French grew. I don&#8217;t like their people, their bread, their kissing nor their women. They are all together odorous people (literally and figuratively).</p>
<p>Now, with that said, I wish to recall the story of Lance Armstrong and the sissy sport that he excels, riding a bike. Only the French would raise this sport to the heights it has achieved and only an American could beat the bat-crap out of them in a sport they invented.</p>
<p>Not any American, one who only has 1 nut. He whipped up on Frenchy not once but 7 times! In a row. How proud would you feel that a guy that had a horrible disease got well and then dominated a sport that you invented just so that you would have a chance against other countries? He won 5 times, thought about retiring then decided that even though he was getting older he would have another go at it. He beat them again.</p>
<p>Dear reader, Lance Armstrong is a true American. He took an idea that another country came up with and did it better that anyone in that country.</p>
<p>Now some of you might be saying &#8221; Whoa, slow down there. I&#8217;m sure France had some victories somewhere&#8221;.</p>
<p>I leave you with this and you may decide.</p>
<p>- <strong>Gallic Wars</strong><br />
- Lost. In a war whose ending foreshadows the next 2000 years of French history, France is conquered by of all things, an Italian. [Or at ths time in history, a Roman -ed.]</p>
<p>- <strong>Hundred Years War</strong><br />
- Mostly lost, saved at last by female schizophrenic who inadvertently creates The First Rule of French Warfare; &#8220;France&#8217;s armies are victorious only when not led by a Frenchman.&#8221; Sainted.</p>
<p>- <strong>Italian Wars</strong><br />
- Lost. France becomes the first and only country to ever lose two wars when fighting Italians.</p>
<p>- <strong>Wars of Religion</strong><br />
- France goes 0-5-4 against the Huguenots</p>
<p>- <strong>Thirty Years War</strong><br />
- France is technically not a participant, but manages to get invaded anyway. Claims a tie on the basis that eventually the other participants started ignoring her.</p>
<p>- <strong>War of Revolution</strong><br />
- Tied. Frenchmen take to wearing red flowerpots as chapeaux.</p>
<p>- <strong>The Dutch War</strong><br />
- Tied</p>
<p>- <strong>War of the Augsburg League/King William&#8217;s War/French and Indian War</strong><br />
- Lost, but claimed as a tie. Three ties in a row induces deluded Frogophiles the world over to label the period as the height of French military power.</p>
<p>- <strong>War of the Spanish Succession</strong><br />
- Lost. The War also gave the French their first taste of a Marlborough, which they have loved every since.</p>
<p>- <strong>American Revolution</strong><br />
- In a move that will become quite familiar to future Americans, France claims a win even though the English colonists saw far more action. This is later known as &#8220;de Gaulle Syndrome&#8221;, and leads to the Second Rule of French Warfare; &#8220;France only wins when America does most of the fighting.&#8221;</p>
<p>- <strong>French Revolution</strong><br />
- Won, primarily due the fact that the opponent was also French.</p>
<p>- <strong>The Napoleonic Wars</strong><br />
- Lost. Temporary victories (remember the First Rule!) due to leadership of a Corsican, who ended up being no match for a British footwear designer.</p>
<p>- <strong>The Franco-Prussian War</strong><br />
- Lost. Germany first plays the role of drunk Frat boy to France&#8217;s ugly girl home alone on a Saturday night.</p>
<p>- <strong>World War I</strong><br />
- Tied and on the way to losing, France is saved by the United States [Entering the war late -ed.]. Thousands of French women find out what it&#8217;s like to not only sleep with a winner, but one who doesn&#8217;t call her &#8220;Fraulein.&#8221; Sadly, widespread use of condoms by American forces forestalls any improvement in the French bloodline.</p>
<p>- <strong>World War II</strong><br />
- Lost. Conquered French liberated by the United States and Britain just as they finish learning the Horst Wessel Song.</p>
<p>- <strong>War in Indochina</strong><br />
- Lost. French forces plead sickness; take to bed with the Dien Bien Flu</p>
<p>- <strong>Algerian Rebellion</strong><br />
- Lost. Loss marks the first defeat of a western army by a Non-Turkic Muslim force since the Crusades, and produces the First Rule of Muslim Warfare; &#8220;We can always beat the French.&#8221; This rule is identical to the First Rules of the Italians, Russians, Germans, English, Dutch, Spanish, Vietnamese and Esquimaux.</p>
<p>- <strong>War on Terrorism</strong><br />
- France, keeping in mind its recent history, surrenders to Germans and Muslims just to be safe. Attempts to surrender to Vietnamese ambassador fail after he takes refuge in a McDonald&#8217;s.</p>
<p>The question for any country silly enough to count on the French should not be &#8220;Can we count on the French?&#8221;, but rather &#8220;How long until France collapses?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without an accordion. All you do is leave behind a lot of noisy baggage.&#8221;</p>
<p>Or, better still, the quote from last week&#8217;s Wall Street Journal: &#8220;They&#8217;re there when they need you.&#8221;</p>
