But can they look up? Zombie dogs! For real! With sensationalist pic!
  • Here's the abstract.
  • A more brain-hungry dog I have never seen.
  • Send more dog walkers...
  • Stop using the Z-word!
  • Pure oxygen and electric shocks... Sounds dreamy!
  • I've just seen this was posted on teh blue yesterday. I'm sorry, I didn't know. Shite.
  • It's been posted everywhere, tentacle-head; it's the sort of thing to attract attention. :)
  • Who cares if they post it in the blue, we ain't them. That said, I wonder if they got to Kit in time to zombify him after 'ol Palpy gave him a lightsaber belly rub.
  • The zombie doggie scared me!
  • I'm only sleeping...
  • Send...more...kibble.
  • *remembers "Resident Evil", shudders*
  • What's a boffin?
  • A back room boy, a white-coated wonder, a whizzer and dodger, a.....erm..... It's a scientist.
  • If this article became any more alarmist, it'd start flashing red and yellow while screaming "DEWdewDEWdewDEWdew HONK HONK HONK bweeeeEEP bweeeeEEP" boffins?
  • Yes, many died to bring us these plans... oh wait, that's not right...
  • How many of you get the sinking feeling this is going to end up with several of us trapped in a mall? *eyes HuronBob suspiciously*
  • *bites Fes*
  • oh, great, now I'm going to become one. *feels a bit peckish and muses that a bit of raw human flesh torn straight from the still screaming victim doesn't sound half bad right now*
  • *removes Fes' head, destroys the brain* *eats Cornetto*
  • opens Fes' skull, scoops out delicious brains....mmm...brains Wait, this is what scientists are busy doing? Reviving frozen dogs and creating robot lobsters? Well I guess it's better than reviving robotic lobster dogs.
  • WTF is Cornetto? *thumps hollowly on kitfisto's skull, shoves it aside, shuffles off*
  • Cornetto *rubs head / shakes fist at koko*
  • Oh, I'll have one of those. Do they have much brains in them?
  • Fucking grand post! Why do you yokels persist on apologizing for posts that were previously posted on that other undistinguished site? *cough* [shakes a kitten-fist at kitfisto] How the hell else would I have ever read about the cute zombified dogs? I wants me one! A re-born poodle with crispy hair and shallow eyes. Kinda reminds me of those cases when somebody was walking on thin ice, suddenly broke through - - plunged into the icy depths, and was revived an hour or so later (considering the conditions were just right). Rather intersting. I'm reminded of a quote (translated of course) from My Life as a Dog: "It really bothers me when I think of that poor dog Laika. Terrible, sending a dog up in a space ship without enough food. She had to do it for human progress. She didn't ask to go."
  • erm..thanks, smt, I think. koko - the cerebellum ripple is particularly nice.
  • Could you kindly pass one of those corny cornetto confections?
  • Certainly, old bean. Temporal Lobe Surprise or Dienchepahlon Whirl?
  • Ooooh, dienchepahlon whirl! Please please please!! With a cherry on top!?
  • OK, but only if you stop teasing the zombie dogs, you're getting them all excited, and you know the mess they can make.
  • *imagines zombified dog poo*
  • D'ya think it would automatically be like that yellow, powdery kind you see during summer, or would it be a particularly noxious, offal and blood type mixture? Either way, you walk that into the house and there'll be hell to pay, young lady!
  • *drops cornetto* *runs away screaming*
  • *picks up cornetto, wipes off zombie dog poo, tucks in*
  • *crawls back* *begs to have cornetto back, but does not apologize for the hasty departure*
  • *grudgingly relents cornetto, but fails to mention the bits of zombie dog poo still attached*
  • *blows chunks of cornetto and zombie dog poo across kitfisto's face* *sniffs*
  • *gags, swallows*
  • Atta boy!
  • *walks away calmly as-if nothing ever happened while whistling theme song of Old Yeller*
  • How's that for a slice of fried gold.
  • *revels in my newly acquired filth*
  • Ladies and gentlemen, the Filthiest Man Alive!! (Pink Flamingos)
  • See, this is why I keep coming back to MoFi; expansive discussions about zombified dog poo which lead inevitably to gagging and swallowing filth. *sniff* There's no place like home.
  • Pittsburgh? The zombie-creating scientists and the zombie dogs are in Pittsburgh? Man, Romero was right all along.
  • ))) comatose canines immobile mutts permafrost puppies reanimated rottweilers hmm?
  • exsanguinated elkhounds exsanguinated...exsanguinated... I love that word...
  • Flaccid wiener.
  • Zombie Woof.
  • if a real zombie dog puts on a zombie dog mask, THEN what happens?
  • Anyone else up for a rousing rendition of "Dead Puppies Aren't Much Fun"?
  • This is not a kind time for this thread.
  • uh-oh. why, fish tick?
  • shit... *opens mouth / inserts foot*
  • It's a very cool post - just unfortunately timed, is all, 'cause dear beeswacky has a seriously ill dog, SideDish.
  • oh no! i had no idea, i've been gone for a few days. i'll email dear bees. thanks for the heads-up.
  • Check sidebar, SD.
  • *hangs head* Didn't know of bees' ill dog. Sending some get-well vibes across the seas now...
  • Egads, complete horrid timing on my comment above in reference to Dachshunds! It's all good fun until someone gets hurt eh...
  • thanks fish. hope troodle is doing much better, has many more fun doggie years and never ever becomes a doggie zombie.
  • /appologized to bees' ill dog and thinks healing thoughts
  • Damn. I feel like an ass. I don't know beeswacky very well, but I certainly didn't mean to pour salt onto an open wound.
  • YOU SICK FUCKIN SICK FUCK FUCKS
  • Speaking of salty language in wounds. Nice touch!
  • Tests show they are perfectly normal, with no brain damage. I recall reading somwhere that lightning strike survivors also showed up as negative on all the tests that doctors put them through. But they're anything but normal anymore. :: So, do zombie dogs dig up bones?
  • Yes, zombie dogs chew bones, but when they stand up, their legs fall off.
  • Someone where I work mentioned this study, as well: Mice put in suspended animation.
  • Zombie dogs prefer zombie bones. nsfmonkies. fish tick. You given me a lot of giggles, today. Thank you. eh?
  • De rien.
  • Heh. Troodle greatly enjoys rolling is dead rabbit. Or ooooooold horse dung, so I suspect she might find being zombified attractive.
  • Lassie, go get Timmy and put him in the well!
  • Heh. Fab thread, only ruined by koko and sugarmilktea, who I felt lowered the tone considerably. [Glad beesy aint cheesed]
  • Well I thought it was going great until that kitfisto showed up and made it personal...
  • Shhhh! I'm taunting them!
  • I just thought I'd get in the spirit kit :)
  • Then you too shall pay!!! Aiiiiiieeeeeeee!!! (that was a banshee howl, BTW)
  • What strange howling is this? What feral pack of undead hounds approaches? No, worse, it's the monkeys of doom....
  • Leesten to the muhnkeys of thee night. What sweet music they make.
  • *eyes well up, chin trembles* k-kitfisto, I thought you were my ... f-friend ... *hides face in hands, weeps softly*
  • *glances up at Abiezer, winks, resumes weeping*
  • koko...chuck...how could I have been so blind? Please forgive me, my heart is breaking! *over-acts outrageously*
  • *hugs kitfisto, leaves tears and mucous on his shirt, tapes "kick me" sign to his back*
  • What, as well as the one shaved into the back of my head?
  • It was starting to grow in.
  • Thanks. I wondered why I wasn't getting booted up the arse as often. A friend, true and brave is what you are.
  • Ok you sassy dung-eating scalawag, my paws are up! *conjures up last bits of yesterday's cornetto stuck to palate*
  • Ack! You've already done enough by using the word 'sassy'. Gawd I hate it!
  • *realizes that the bits of poo stuck to cornetto remnants, now stuck to palate, have begun to ferment into an extremely noxious adulteration*
  • damn, should have brushed my teeth! *thinks about it...* *offers a paw, cautiously, as gesture of mutual respect* Now, how about getting another of those cornetto thingy ma-jobbers?
  • *suddenly finds smt irresistible*
  • Cornettos all round!
  • *shakes booty to the cornetto-flavored beat* FOOD FIGHT!!!
  • *crams as much Cornetto into mouth as possible before blindly launching rest into the air*
  • I'm putting you all on double secret probation.
  • ROBOT HOUSE!!!!!!!
  • Dahling! It's raining cornetto! Wheeee! *secretly admits to self that this is teh party!*
  • *Dresses zombie dogs up in togas for 'amusing' photographs*
  • So, are you wearing anything underneath that toga? *collapses from all the excitement brought on by cornetto-sugar rush* *enjoys willful zombie dog licking which ensues*
  • *is strangely aroused by that last statement* *is disagusted with self*
  • SHUT UP
  • Chy feels it too.
  • *wipes cornetto from monitor*
  • Zombie dogs are just like regular dogs, except when they sit around the house... They really sit around the house! Dead, I mean! Sit around dead. Around the house. Dead. /suddenly scared.
  • relax Nicky. No danger. Dead zombie dogs make excellent coasters for mixed drinks and cornettos at parties. Likea dis party!! puts hands on Koko's hips and starts singing the "Hokey Pokey" song
  • *puts on 'Louie Louie' / wigs out*
  • *peels open eyes* *shocked to see self covered in whipped cream graffiti* Ok, who did this to me!? And is this party evah gonna end!?
  • A Short Book on Training the Zombie Dog Zombie pups (Canis carrion) are notorious for their willful behavior, however, a good trainer will be able to teach them some tricks almost instantly. Three tricks that these pups do best: Down! Stay! Play dead! Good dog, Stinky.
  • Who's a good widdle fella, Stinky? Stinky...no...no..NO Arrrggghhh.....
  • Zombie dogs don't widdle.
  • No, they just quietly leak.
  • I just got back from Land of the Dead. There were no zombie dogs. There were some very disturbing yet strangely sympathetic zombie people, however.
  • "IIIiiii am about as eeEEEeevil as a Zombie Worm can be!" /already_referenced_by_rocket88 /no_voting
  • That's strange. I could have sworn that I read a sci-fi book from years back that mentioned these flowers growing from whale bones. The story had giant squid in it as well, and mind-controlling aliens. I didn't say it was a good sci-fi novel....
