[Groin guru]

do you guys classify evil dead 3 army of darkness as a zombie flick?
Or seperate category for necromancer?

Nope. Not zombies. Own sub category like vampires are.

This has become your go-to for a guaranteed point like a Kyrgios serve.

But let's be fair - we've all made speculative calls that went awry.

I mean, I wanted us to draft Rohan ahead of Cunnington..

Don't buy it!

Go get a bottle of methylated spirits, and dilute every 100ml with 25-30 ml of water and then you will have ~75% ethanol solution than you can spray on surfaces or your hands as sanitizer. If you apply it to your hands then apply a little hand moisturizer after it has dried. Once again, thorough washing with soap and warm water is the preferred choice for hand sanitizing.

Only one thing to be cautious about with the ethanol solution, it is flammable, so take care around naked flames and sources of ignition.

Hey mate I made up a batch of the recipe you recommended (30% Aloe Vera gel & 70% metho. Toss in a few drops of tea tree oil.). Should it have claggy shit in it? It’s like the aloe and metho didn’t bond or something. Doesn’t bother me, I just want to make sure I did it right.

Also the chemist told the mrs not to use it because she can get sick... I told her she’s not supposed to drink it lol

"God help me, I've got Covid 19"

Does that go to our score or theirs?

We were hooked on for weeks, then a god almighty roar,

Frankie kicked the line, sent the IV splashing round the room..

Of course density matters but Devo's figures are not particularly relevant. Australia's population is 86% urban. Italy's is 70%.

The definition of Urban in Australia is pretty loose. A bush village with about 10 houses counts as urban.

Indigenous missions do ad well, even if they ate basically a small town west of whoop whoop.

Hey what method did you use, did you throw everything together and mix with a spoon or something?
I haven't tried that but I have a feeling you may want to start with the aloe gel in a bowl and slowly add the metho

Maybe not for the Young-ens but for the older Guys:

Men’s magazine Playboy is shutting down its US print edition after nearly seven decades as it reels from the coronavirus crisis.
Already facing significant financial troubles, it was virus which sounded the death knell for the magazine’s print edition, the company said in a blog post.
The upcoming spring edition will be the last for the magazine, which was renowned not only for its nudity but also interviews, in-depth political coverage and fiction.

Edit: Hang on, where were they?

A generation ago when Bob Wilson helped edit Playboy the saying "I only read it for the articles" was genuinely valid.

His strategy was to get people in with t&a then secretly try to make them smarter by exposing them to all sorts of ideas.

Sweet, so zombies are only a product of a bite/blood transfusion?
no grey areas, no walking dead armies, which always puts me at odds with is ‘dead snow’ a zombie flick, as it’s based on cursed nazis stealing gold.

Australia is not flattening the coronavirus curve

The nation’s infection rate is climbing much faster than Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan. So what are we doing wrong?

The dearth of domestic production of test kits is what is undermining our policies atm.

No. I spent a year in a small Japanese village where I was trained by a skilled Samurai known as 'Katsumoto'

We aren't in the US so weapons and bullets will be hard to come by. Plus they make noise and attract other zombies/people. I will only go out at night with my Katana and night vision goggles. The zombies won't be able to see and I'll be able to kill in silence.
