*Yes, this is part 2 of my awards post. Please check for nominations.
This is where I say which bloggers I want with me during the Zombie Apocalypse. Just wait one moment while I don my sparkly dress for the ceremony…
Because every woman should have at least one Vanna White dress that is both inappropriately short and way too tight…
Legal Disclaimer: Nominees were chosen based on skills and mental acuity. This blog does not discriminate based on race, gender, religion, or creed. Nominees understand and agree that in the event of an actual Zombie Apocalypse, this blogger loveandlunchmeat, cannot be held financially or legally responsible for whatever injuries or physical harm may be incurred.
1. NBI from No Blog Intended: I’m not going to lie. NBI was the first and only blogger who both flattered me AND offered me food. Clearly she has negotiating tactics and brains far beyond her age. Sorry, for those who didn’t make the list, but this is exactly how you win my loyalty.
2. Heath from Life As I Know It: Every single blog post Heath writes makes me laugh out loud, even when he’s mocking pregnancy and communism. He’s hysterical! Also, he has a military background, which will surely come in handy during the Zombie Apocalypse. (You really should check out this blog!)
3. Kim from Fresh Daily Bread: Kim’s blog was one of the first blogs I started reading, and my own blog changed a lot as a result of reading it, realizing that blogs could be many things all at once.
4. El Guapo from Guapola: Besides being a loyal reader and writing a great blog of his own, the handsome one is probably even crazier than me. And that’s a high bar indeed!
5. Andrew Elizabeth: One day you’ll start a blog, and you can officially join the team as a blogger. In the meantime, I’m willing to bend the rules for you. I love you that much… Plus, they’re my rules anyway.
FOLKS, YOU REALLY WANT ANDREW ELIZABETH TO START BLOGGING! Trust me on this, and feel free to harass her in the comments. (Yes, that is the smell of a guest post…) She’s a soon-to-be-published author (under contract for several books), she’s funny, and she knows a frightening amount of information about serial killers. Oh, and for those who have eyes, she also happens to be hot! (The Andrew half of the team is also an asset. He’s extremely tall, which makes him exceptional for zombie scouting.)
6. Rollergiraffe: Rollergiraffe writes an incredibly funny blog… And then right when I’m not expecting it, she’ll write a post that actually makes me blink away tears. She’s truly talented. In addition to writing an awesome blog, she also keeps bees and is good with firearms.
7. The Hobbler: I absolutely love the hobbler! I’ve seen enough sports documentaries to know that brains always beats brawn in the end, and there is no one more clever (or more fun) than the Hobbler.
8. Madame Weebles from Fear No Weebles: Madame Weebles knows things. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, her charm and no-how will go far.
9. Amb from Words Become Superfluous: The zombie apocalypse should come with a soundtrack, which Amber is willing to provide. Also, for my own personal amusement, I need bloggers who are well versed in good music, good books, good movies, and who are fun to have around!
10. Mooselicker: He’s crazy and slightly deranged. I’m not sure I’d like him otherwise, but I can see where his dark humor and willingness to think outside the box could be quite useful during a zombie apocalypse.
If any of you don’t already have the following awards, you’ve just been nominated! If you choose to accept this award, you have to say seven things about yourself, and nominate 15 other people. Or something.
Most importantly, you are all now official members of my international elite zombie fighting squadron! Feel free to take a zombie fighting award, and proudly display it on your own blog. There are no rules for this award. However, you should continue to do research so that you are adequately prepared for said events.
*I know there are a lot of awesome bloggers out there, but I’m too lazy to save all of you. See the blogroll for others whom I considered saving. Sorry about that. If I like you, and I happen to see a zombie about to eat your face, I will help if possible. Also, feel free to take some zombie bling for your blog, as raising awareness is always half the battle. (The original image is mine, so you don’t need to worry about copyright.)
Ruminations on Love & Lunchmeat 
I SO wanted to be part of the Zombie Apocalypse Fighting Sqaudran! I guess now I’ll have to be a zombie and eat all you guys.
Oh, crap! I knew I was forgetting people. You may join the team as long as you promise to feed Le Clown to the zombies.
NOMINATION # 11
Yes! I’m always willing to throw a clown under the bus for a spot on the team!
Yes! I’m always willing to throw a clown under the bus for a spot on the team! Do I get badges too?
Absolutely! We must raise awareness for the cause!
Dumb question. How do you get the badge to display on your blog?
You right click it to save. Then you upload it to your media under “add media” in your dashboard. Be sure to copy the URL location of the media file. Then go to your widgets. You pull an image widget over to the side, and add the URL location of the media file. It’s pretty small so you shouldn’t have to resize it. I decided not to put my name on it, but I’m hoping to see it all the place. (Yeah, I’m such a nerd. I know.)
Not to be a realist, but will i really have time to read if a zombie is trying to eat my face?
=)
There will be very little time for reading, but you never know…
A little sad to not be choosen, BUT we’re glad you’re atleast planning to survive!
Sorry, but I didn’t even know about your blog until today…
No worries!
Thank you so much! I will write a post of my own in the next few days to get in the spirit of the fun! Have a great weekend!
Absolutely! Planning for the Zombie Apocalypse is always oddly fun!

I accept the nomination. I also shared way more than I should have. I follow instructions, a bit.
Your post was AWESOME. It mentioned telemarketing surveys, hemorrhoid creams, and cats. What could be better than a post that manages to cover all three of those topics? 🙂
Taking a bow, and it all was such a seamless transition. What is the common theme? It all is a PITA.
No way, know-how shoud Madame Weeble’s no-how be discounted.
Let’s face it. Charm and brains go a LOOOONG way. 😀
Not a bad zombie apocalypse team. You might need somebody with good head-chopping-off or food canning skillz, but other than that, I think you’re set.
I know. I might need to read up on axe-wielding serial killers and see who’s still alive… Any chance you have canning skillz? (Really I’m just so happy to see the word skillz that I had to ask…)
This looks so fun.
x,
Becca
Thanks! I get so much nerdy enjoyment out of writing these zombie posts…
lol you should. We enjoy reading them.
Arrrghhh… you mean you’re going to leave me to DIE????
That’s okay… I’ll find a song to express how I feel at the time and then blog about it 😛
In the meantime, I’m looking forward to checking out your nominees 🙂
What do you want to bet there’s a Morissey song for that?
Just sayin’… 😉
Every Day Is Like Sunday?
He sings “come, Armageddon, come Armageddon” – it could be a zombie Armageddon… 😛
I think it’s really cool that the blogs mentioned are personally handpicked by you. I assume them to be interesting, full of wit and charms as well. I’ll head out and check them out now…
They are each awesome of their own accord! Especially Heath though. His blog should be a national treasure or something.
You have to choose your team wisely. Don’t let them bully you.
I’ll be alright. It’s difficult to bully the person holding the gun…
Oh, and welcome to the blog!
See, most people forget to plan for blogging. That’s where the survivors and the doomed get separated out.
Probably 😉 I’m not typically a great planner, but when it comes to the Apocalypse, you really can’t over plan…
I’m honored. I’ll be like Daryl on The Walking Dead. I’ll keep to myself, do my own thing, but when called upon I’ll get the shit done. I just don’t want that bald woman going anywhere near me. She’s too flat a character.
That’s funny. I don’t like it when bald women come to close either. I worry it’ll be like leprosy, and I’ll go bald too.
Okay, okay, you are officially my favorite! I love anything related to the zombie apocalypse. I am not sure you read my blog where I outlined my lack of abilities I bring to the table should this event take place sooner than I imagined. Bottom line: I love you; I love your blog, and we will reign over the undead!
Nah, you have a military background. You’ll definitely be an asset, and we will kick serious zombie ass!
Woah, thanks soooo much! I feel even more flattered than you were ;). Seriously, I didn’t expect to see my name here, especially not as the first one either. I agree on what you said about Mooselicker by the way.
I’m so ready to fight of any zombie around! We’ll be kick ass for sure!
Oh, no, you were way up on the list! Cookies truly are the way to my heart. 🙂
And we will definitely kick some serious zombie ass!
Ah, gratuitous flattery will get you everywhere! The Elizabeth half of the team will do your zombie bidding (also, she’s handy with headchopping). The Andrew half of the team is probably also ready to do your bidding, since flattery works with him too – especially when it involves any reference to his zombie scouting abilities and/or there is mention of adventures that have the possibility of landing him in jail or an alien spaceship.
Yes, people with sword skills are important. You never know what kind of zombies you’ll encounter, and they could be the type who require sword skills.
I don’t think the zombies are affiliated with the aliens, but I suppose one never knows…
They may not be affiliated but they do use similar tactics to the borg. However, due to their penchant for eating brain matter there are very few zombie rocket scientists, so it’s unlikely they could put together one of those cube-shaped deathstars. Also, diplomacy is not one of their strong-suits.
By the way, I’m also easily bribed with pineapples and/or coffee.
You’re not the only one. There’s very little I won’t do for coffee. By the way, I’m thirsty. Want my first-born child?
Also, nice sparkly green dress. I’m sure Victoria will now think you are really just Tinkerbell in disguise.
Funny thing is when my friend was
torturing mesuggesting that I try on this dress, she said the exact same thing…Thank you so much for saving me from the zombies. I’ll lead the way in my motorized wheelchair. It’s about 400lbs, so I’ll run them over, clearing a path for you and the rest of our team.
Anytime. Wow, it’s that heavy? You are tiny, so it hadn’t dawned on me that your chair was huge. (Small people who don’t drain the food supply too much can also be an asset.)

Wheeee! So. Much. Fun. Thanks bunches for including me in such fab company!
Anytime! Now all we’ll need is a playlist…
Sweet mother of pearl, I missed this one while I was away! Thank you! I shall do my best to keep away the zombies. It’s an honor to serve with you, Lovely.
