What if you woke up one morning and found that the Zombie Apocalypse was upon us? Would you start scrambling for weapons? Begin hoarding food? Or, like me, start using the "We should have sex before the zombies get us" pick up line at the zombie-proof bunker?
Not Gus. He's battling the brain-hungry horde with his Twitter account. (How very 2010. Or should I say 2KX?)
Furiously tweeting from Miami as
manvszombies since the attacks began (which, if you've ever been to Miami, you know is definitely the place the zombies are gonna hit first), Gus is keeping a "diary of the apocalypse," with daily accounts of his fight to stay human... complete with pictures. (Apparently, and fortunately for Gus, zombies haven't figured out how to track IP addresses or WiFi signals yet.)
Not only do we get random bits of his daily minutiae like "Apparently while I was high last night I ate Twix with salsa" but we also get helpful hints should we get into battle with any undead: "It is not possible to run through a store's glass window like they do in the movies. Bouncing backwards will occur." Good tip Gus.
If you want to follow Gus' adventures (and seriously, the networks are still showing reruns, so why not) you can follow him at
twitter.com/manvszombies. But hurry, because not only is the zombie apocalypse upon us, but there's always the possibility Twitter will go the way of MySpace. And then we're really screwed.
