Zombies ate my brains
By which I mean I've been spending way too much time this past week playing Plants vs. Zombies, a hilarious computer game in which you protect yourself from the zombie invasion by planting flowers on your lawn. Put that simply it doesn't sound like much, but it's gotten me so hooked that I even went out and spent forty dollars on a so-called gaming mouse -- after having used a trackball for over a dozen years -- because things just move too fast in the game to just be using my thumb.
The new userpic for this entry is my "Zombatar" ( zombie avatar ), created at the Plants vs. Zombies website. I did the best I could with the hair-style; I don't really have a comb-over, but that was the only option for balding rather than bald. ( Also, I haven't dyed my hair/ mustache purple ... yet. )
After you defeat "Dr. Zomboss", the zombies send you a note saying they're going to give up trying to eat your brains; now they just want to make a music video for you. The the sunflower comes on singing :
(Chorus)
There's a zombie on your lawn
There's a zombie on your lawn
There's a zombie on your lawn
We don't want zombies on the lawn
I know your type; tall, dark and dead,
You want to bite all of the petals off of my head,
Then eat the brains of the one who planted me here.
I'm just a sunflower but see
Me power an entire infantry
You like the taste of brains
We don't like zombies
"I used to play football"
"Road cones protect my head"
"I have a screen door shield"
"We are the undead!"
(Chorus)
Maybe it's time to reevaluate
I know you have a lot of food on your plate
Brains are quite rich in cholesterol
You're dead so it doesn't matter,
Instead we'll use this solar power,
To make a lawn defense at any hour.
"I like your tricycle"
"There's butter on my head"
"I'm gonna eat your brains"
"We are the undead!"
(Chorus)
{The lines in quotes are sung by ( in order ) the Football zombie, the Conehead zombie, the Screen door zombie, the Digger zombie, just a regular zombie, and the zombie dolphin ( who attacks via your back-yard pool ).}

Why yes, I have seen that new Burger King ad with Tony Stewart ( who actually I'd never heard of before he started doing their commercials ) about doing product endorsements...
