I did a basic internet search for EOS and OCS, and I found lip balm and a cannabis dispensary.

If you’re using a TLA (three letter acronym) you should probably recognize that some acronyms are common and have multiple interpretations.

If you’re concerned about people looking like an idiot for asking questions, you should probably be aware that calling people an idiot for seeking information has the opposite result.

You can pour a little paint down the drain, as a treat

George A Romero is definitely worth checking out. He’s earned the moniker “Father of the Zombie Film,” and for good reason.

If you’re into classic movies, I’d suggest starting with Night of the Living Dead (1968). That one really turned heads when it came out. If classic movies aren’t really your thing, Land of the Dead (2005) is a very fun romp.

Day of the Dead (1985) is probably my all-time favourite movie. I appreciate that his movies are not only fun zombie movies, but they also have a message behind them. Day of the Dead is full of existential dread, and touches at the meaning or absurdity of life, and how that means different things to different people.

In each of his zombie movies, although the undead do pose a mortal and existential threat, Romero holds up a mirror to humanity and says that its our innate inability to cooperate which dooms us. It’s a powerful message, and one that seems to have held up for the past sixty years if you follow the news.

Where I grew up, there was a children’s song where the main refrain is: “John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, his name is my name too”

The name John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt is quite unlikely and singular. And yet, this other guy has the exact same name as him

I feel like there’s a joke in here about how the dad is so upset by inaccuracies in costumes, but Michael Myers never talks in the movies
