Zen Of Zombie (Zen of Zombie Series)

Page 17

by Scott Kenemore


  A zombie’s silence is his wisdom.

  His moan is his koan.

  His very way of being is his zen.

  Endnote

  While this book may be one of the first attempts to disperse the lessons to be taken from zombies to the general populace, it would not be correct to give the impression that the author is the first to make these observations. Many successful figures throughout history (as well as certain contemporary persons of note) have obviously taken some of the lessons of the zombie to heart, if not become zombies entirely.

  To wit:

  The late Gerald Ford is rumored to have been a zombie for the last several years of his “life.”

  The famously “soft-spoken” Calvin Coolidge was actually a very talkative zombie.

  Terrifying 1960s film actor Tor Johnson was, of course, a zombie—though atypical in at least one important way. (Most humans lose weight when zombified ...)

  Anna Nicole Smith ... Towards the end ... Yeah ...

  Actor and Republican political strategist Ben Stein has built his entire career aping the diction and tone of a zombie.

  Al Gore has lulled many a political opponent into a false sense of calm using zombie-based speech patterns.

  At least one “surviving” member of the Rolling Stones is a very high functioning zombie.

  Rob Zombie is, however, not a zombie.
