SAME ZIT, DIFFERENT DAY ... AT 7TH AND MONTANA!

Cupid's Arrow missed its mark at 7th and Montana this morning as the Zombie -- known for sitting in the same chair, in the same position for hours on end and for his bizarre taste in women's clothing -- chose Valentine's Day to pop a cog. Shortly after 7:00 a.m., he rose from his chair, waved his fists wildly and started shouting obscenities at the clientele. But not to worry: The Baristas have the men in white coats on speed dial. All it took was one quick call from Barista Tyler and ten minutes later the authorities were dragging the Zombie away, kicking and screaming. "What are we going to do now?," I asked, "Place an ad on Monster.com? Help Wanted: One Zombie ... Experience Preferred ...?!?" Of course, I wasn't serious. Everyone knows we've had a ZIT (zombie-in-training) waiting in the wings for weeks. The newcomer, pictured above, also sits in the same chair, in the same position, for hours on end. Every day he wears the same Pajama Bottoms (green with smiling monsters on them) and a black t-shirt. He might not be as colorful as his predecessor, but give it time I always say ...!
