Maybe the people who make the cast cement crow will make a cast cement zombie? Both would look awesome in your front yard! http://www.amazon.com/BLACK-Statue-Cement-Garden-Sculpture/dp/B001DMC9RQ

Btw – I have TONS of tomato volunteers – do you want some?

I’ve been eyeing that garden zombie on Think Geek.com …can you just picture it comming out of my compost pile! Yay! Maybe it’ll work at keeping the dog out of the garden (until he starts to bark endlessly and I’m forced to get rid of/move it)

My cousin (an avid fan of zombies and vampires) would want one. I could paint some weird vortex looking thing on the wall above her bed and affix the garden zombie to her wall. The nightmares it will surely give her is enough incentive to order it.

(I’m only being slightly sarcastic here…. if I was a bit more morbid and had the kind of money to throw around on zombie paraphanelia I’d actually get it)

Olivia, the SkyMall catalog is found in the seat pockets of commercial airplanes. Back when they had Airfones, you could call SkyMall for free and order junk from the air. Now, you call them or order via the Internet after you land.

What is SkyMall . . . never heard of it.

In fairness to Sky Mall look at any catalog today and it is full of plastic crap. Tonight on TV you can buy the plastic pasta maker with the lid with holes to use as a strainer and you get a plastic chopper included all for 10 dollars, that will sell at a garage sale for a quarter. I also saw plastic rocks in a store today for your landscaping needs. We are doomed to be buried in plastic. g

Since all of all the real plants died in my front flower beds twice and plastic is forever which means it won’t die when I plant it in my awful soil, can I please get a special dispensation for a row of Garden Zombies? It will get my HOA off my case for not having anything in my flower beds.

Unless SkyMall sells the 6 ft tall Garden Yeti (yes there really is such a thing.) then I want a row of those. I can dress it up in season outfits like the crazy people do for those concrete geese in their yards.

I’m not terribly crafty, but I bet I could make that zombie out of clay. I mean, errors on my part would just make it that much more terrifying, right?

Beth, I’m struggling to live a less plasticky life, but you are like a guardian angel on my shoulder, reminding me at every opportunity to find a better solution. Thanks for being my conscience.

The toxic smell from that neoprene face lift mask would make me ill in a heartbeat. How can anyone tolerate that junk? I’m so glad there are alternatives for all the above.

gotta love zombie humor. yes, it’s too bad it’s not ceramic.

I actually just saw that litter box on a website the other day, and obviously everyone made fun of it. as far as putting the litter box against the wall goes, we’ve done that in our house and as long as you leave some space, the cats can get in, they’re very nimble.
