  1. Of course, the sleezer gave them expired food XD

  2. Chuck acknowledged that the bucket “survival food” was old, with the potential of being bad, but admitting it still had the potential for being good! 🤣
    Con in Pasadena? I had to check, Cali, not TX, tho they have smaller shows at the college, I figured not likely, as Pasadena/Deer Park is in the news again, for all the wrong reasons (again), after an SUV crashed into a LNG pipeline, turning it into a blowtorch.

  3. Dangit! I *know* I put in my name and info!

534 – Compliments To The Cook

Hearkening back to the events of page 269!

Meanwhile, this weekend we're bringing Zombie Ranch to the wide-open spaces. Comparatively. The trade volumes will be among our offerings at the annual Pasadena ARTWalk at Booth #32 in the shady lanes of Green Street.

Science (fiction) marches on…

Ever watched an old movie or television show featuring “future” technology and chuckled because, for example, they considered a phone that didn’t need to be plugged into a wall to be a big deal? Some things like Star Trek‘s replicators or transporters remain the realm of science fiction, but other speculative fiction often falls prey to the march of time. No one’s reanimating dead tissue a la Dr. Frankenstein yet (that I know of, anyhow), but Jules Verne’s flight of fancy about massive submersible vehicles of war didn’t take long to become a reality. Speaking of reanimating tissue, though… https://mashable.com/article/kfc-3d-printed-chicken-nuggets/ American fast food chain KFC has announced plans to debut 3D printed chicken nuggets made from a mix of plant matter and meat grown in a lab. In other words, basically meat cloned from chicken cells. That sort of tech is something we posited for the Zombie Ranch world seeing as livestock is mostly a memory of the past, and now here it is in the, err, flesh. Honestly, this sort of thing makes me wonder if the replicators aren’t too far-fetched, after all? No breakthrough on those transporters, though, so figure on still getting from place to place the hard way for the foreseeable future.
