Oops, I had no idea. Maybe it'll keep them busy enough for you to move the gattlin' cannon to the side so you can take 'em out while they're eatin' Pringles Velcro chips.

Ok Kevin, #25 - Keep emergency velcro strips to "taste". If you've been bitten by a suspected zombie , don't let anyone put you down until they start to taste good.

Speaking of that...

You know what I really hate? I hate all those swim shorts nowadays that have the Velcro flys... and you can't find a single d*mn pair without it. They always feel like there's a piece of cardboard stuck down your crotch.
