Day of the Dead

16-year-old Tiger didn’t go out trick-or-treating last night, which made me happy, but a little sad, too. His younger brother’s pillowcase now contains 7 pounds of solidified corn syrup and milk chocolate, but Squirt says he’s getting too old for this stuff any more.

Squirt’s costume: a red tempera paint-spattered t-shirt with the lettering “RCPD.” This acronym stands for “Raccoon City Police Department,” of course.

Yeah, I didn’t know what it stood for, either. It’s just another one of the tidbits of potentially lifesaving zombie facts you learn when you’re a member of the Zombie Surviver Club.

Frankly, if it were my club I’d make the Zombie Survivers stop those endless “Viral Infection or Meteor Radiation?” debates and spend a few minutes learning how to use spell check.
