If you remember the Space Squid party invitation<\/a> (don’t forget it’s this Saturday at Frugal Media), I promised everyone that there would be a zombie simulation with real heads. Well, this week I started to panic. <\/p>\n

Usually Fiesta just has a bunch of sheep heads lying around in a pile with a sign that says "Cabeza $3.49 each." But they haven’t had any heads in stock all week. I know, I’ve gone in every day to check. Have you ever asked a nice Spanish-speaking lady if she has any heads? It’s not fun.<\/p>\n

So this morning I made some calls, and it was suggested to me by my frequent Food Frakker deputy that I ought to try Longhorn Meat Market out there on E.MLK. If you squint carefully at the sign you can read the message: "rabbits are back".
\n
\nAnd yes, they had heads.
\n
\nThe pork heads were significantly cheaper than the beef heads (but not quite as cheap as the Fiesta heads). So I only got two. This is the larger of the two:
\n
\nI’m going to set that one on a zombie armature at five foot six and a half inches, the average height of an American adult.<\/p>\n

I also got this piglet-sized head:
\n
\nThis one will go on a zombie armature of three feet eight inches, the average height of a six-year-old.
\n<\/p>\n

There’s been a little bit of confusion as to how the zombie simulation will work. If you bring in a zombie weapon (no projectiles or firearms or anything that’s likely to harm spectators) we will be more than happy to let you take a swing at the simulated zombie yourself. I have some eye protection you can use, then it’s just a matter of giving the video camera a short disclaimer about how you appreciate the risks involved in breaking zombies, and then you’re good to go.<\/p>\n

Any questions? You can get the Space Squid email off the website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ll go in to Fiesta the next couple of days incase sheep heads come in, but until then, the pig heads are quietly defrosting in my fridge where I hope the housemate won’t see them.
\n<\/p>\n

One more thing. I was thinking of giving the two heads names, but there’s so many literary allusions one could use, that I couldn’t pick one. <\/p>\n

Suggestions anyone?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
