it's my favourite george's birthday today! (takei is my #2 fave)
HAPPY 72ND, GEORGE ANDREW ROMERO!
May you have many more, you delightful zombophile, you!
Seriously, though: I wouldn't be who I am today without this man. We wouldn't have scary zombies today if it wasn't for this man! There would be no zombie video games or The Walking Dead or Zombieland or Shaun of the Dead. When people call Romero the Godfather of the Dead, they ain't exaggerating: the entire zombie genre as we know it is thanks to this dude.
So thank you, George. Thanks for all the nightmares and the laughter and the sheer awesomeness that is the flesh-eating zombie. LOVE YOUUUUUUUU.
