My Zombie & Me
My Zombie. My Zombie. Wherever there’s brains, he eats. My Zombie. My Zombie. My Zombie & me!
If you don’t remember the My Buddy & Kid Sister commercials from the 80s, you probably think I’m crazy. If you do, you’re already aware that I’m crazy from previous exploits. Either way, I’ve come here today to share with you my day with my new buddy, Larry Jacobs. Larry is a zombie sock puppet, made by Chelle over at Coffee & Zombie Movies.
I won him for having the ugliest weird shit. He’s mine now. Stop winking at him, because it’s awkard for both of us. Check out the pictures from our outing:
Larry likes riding in the truck. He was a little leery when I called shotgun, but he settled down after a bit.
I tried to snap a picture just as the plate was hot on the table, but Larry was *really* hungry. The waitress never did come back. It was weird.
After lunch, we visited the Flea Market to find Larry a friend. This is Dr. Bones. They're all BFF and shit.
Larry is one swingin' cat. He insisted on visiting the swings before us, and I had to use the restroom. He's awfully happy, considering it looks like all the kids must have left him. Oh well, keep your chin up larry. Hold it up high.
Larry took a moment on the slide to enjoy the sun. I sniffed all around, but couldn't figure out where someone was cooking bacon.
Larry's shirt suggests he wished these were brains. He found these at the Flea Market. I must admit, they are quite lovely and squishy.
Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, Larry's new favorite book.
Dreaming Zombie Dreams...
So there you have it. Larry’s mostly hanging around the house nowadays. He’s really taken a liking to Abraham (Lincoln), our cat. He’s very helpful, often getting meat out of the deep freeze to thaw for dinner and has only tried to eat my brains once. He’s such a gentleman.
As you can see, there was a full box of what I’ll call booby-balls, which were like those balls that you squeeze and there is a metallic fluid inside that swirls inside the plastic when you squeeze it. They were $1, so I bought several. Expect them as gifts at the next party. We also bought some homemade treats made from wheat and potatoes, that tasted like pork rinds and looks like bacon. Pretty fantastic. Dr. Bones was picked up in a small manga shop where the proprietor sells these and a few other goodies for a friend who makes them. He was only $20!!!
What would you do if you had Larry for a day?

I would lick his eyeball all day, which I thought you were going to do…I feel let down on some level.
Larry looks like he his in very capable hands.

I would bring him with me when I used the toilet.
…What?

*adding to checklist*
That should curb his appetite.

I would take him into the men’s room stall and wait til someone sat in the next one then scream “OHMYGOD NOT YOU!!!” and then bang on the walls and squirt ketchup on the floor and then stick his head under the next stall wall and do an evil laugh thing.
You know. What I usually do except with this thing instead of my talking hand.

I can picture it now, and it’s beautiful. Toss a couple real human fingers under the wall for enhanced effect. (If you don’t have any on hand, I know a guy)

Well since I DID have Larry for the day/week/month, I grew attached. Larry can be very sensitive and caring. I will miss stroking his silken curls.

Would you like me to mail you a chunk of my hair or brains to make his loss more bearable?

I would wait patiently for my husband to doze off, then tickle his nose with Larry’s silken curls until Rocco woke up screaming. Then I’d make him watch the video I recorded of Larry and I doing the Boot Scoot Boogie on the Brooklyn Bridge.

That was my second choice if the Flea Market wasn’t open…

Mother of god, I was waiting patiently for you to re-emerge and here I have a post that is going to take me weeks to analyze.
Might I add that Larry is even more fetching in person than he appeared initially. You need to subliminally entice hellachella to fashion muppet zombies of Sting, Stewart and Andy Summers for me. I’m still dreaming of that.
If she runs another contest you’ve already won hands down with the boobies and skull bear. What the fuck kind of flea markets do you go to anyway?

Small town flea markets. It was actually in Chesterfield, IN. There was a cafe as well, where a country cover band was performing.
It’s … quaint.
