Oh and for extra credit, lets make this the party post with the MOST comments ever. Do you think Mark Henry can beat out Angie Fox who holds the current record 1228 comments in one day?
What do you think people? Can you make Mark’s fingers bleed? Several other packs of Swag from BBB are up for grabs if you go past the record!

Mark, you are continually amusing. And disturbing.
[Reply]
I don’t know Rachel, Depends on how much Mark liked Zombieland. Heathers is a great movie.
Mark what is your favorite Zombieland moment?
[Reply]
Hi Mark! Welcome to BBB. This is Carol, your moderator.
Well, I am taking Rachel’s warning literally, so will watch the video after I am home for the day.
[Reply]
Okay, I meant to say Carol your D*C moderator…
[Reply]
Mark…. I love you. Thanks for the shout out… more than once… and now I cannot show my sons this vlog thanks to the rubbing alcohol reference LOL My question is who is the leader of the reluctant adults group and do they get a tiara?
[Reply]
* Chuckles * Kudos to Mark. You just gotta love his vlogs because they are so darn amusing! But, I have to agree with him on the movie Heathers. Oh man it’s been ages since I seen that movie.
Hey Mark! Where’s my illegal foot rub!! By the Way, the Bonecrusher book you sent me, the hubs took it. Though he didn’t care too much for it, only to let someone he works with borrow it!
Rach, dunno if Mark can beat Angie. I know he’d give it one hell of a try. But I’m game to help get past the 1200 mark! Even though I should be writing but I’m being a massive procrastinator
[Reply]
Mark,
Do you have any advice for a girl who’s never read a zombie book before and has her reservations?
Oh, and I RSVPed
Thanks!
[Reply]
Hmm. Over 1200 comments. Sounds padded to me, Rach.
Medievalgrrl - Thank you. Come on back!!!
TM, keep checking back…I deteriorate.
Cyd J - I loved Zombieland, enough to crush a child’s dreams of poster ownership. My favorite part was the death of the secret celebrity cameo.
[Reply]
LOL I wish you luck with trying to beat Angie’s record…. but I will prob not be back too many times so that might bring the count down… LOL Better get ahold of Rao and Koren…. they will have to pick up the slack for me.!!
[Reply]
Hi Mark! Sorry I’m on a computer right now that is not video friendly so I’ll have to watch later, but I just wanted to stop in and show support!
-I RSVP’d
5. I participated and voted
[Reply]
Oh, i should mention I RSVPed too, and I’m already friends with Mark on facebook and I was his 1000th follower on Twitter! Where I got my little hand written thing about illegal foot rubs!
Maybe I should ask how good Mark is at GIVING those foot rubs!
[Reply]
Hi Mark!
I’m really looking forward to reading more of your books
I found the first book to be really fun to read.
We probably first met up on the Yahoo Paranormal Mystery Writers group.
(I’m the not quite lurking reader-only-type member.)
I find the greatest reading ideas over there!
So, now that I’ve inadvertently plugged that group …
(Hopefully Karen won’t mind too much.)
… thanks for writing!
The release of the book is great timing!
Uhm … I can’t think of any questions.
Amy T.
[Reply]
Shell- I’m right here and ready to Gab! Where’s Koren at
[Reply]
If Koren shows up we’d have the people that made the majority of the comments for Angie lol
[Reply]
Greetings and salutations
Heathers rocks — one of my all time favorites too! (might have been because I was sooo in love with Christiane Slater at the time, though. LOL)
My laughing at your little bathroom scene, complete with lighter fluid and fire, caused both my kids to come running to see what I was watching. Yes, they’re very nosy - can’t have fun without ‘em either, they feel left out otherwise.
For more giggling pleasure, one of my fav scenes from movie:
J.D.: Well, ah… Let’s take a look at some of the homosexual artifacts I dug up to plant at the scene.
[He picks up a shopping bag and pulls items out of it]
J.D.: All right. Got an issue of “Stud Puppy.”
Veronica Sawyer: Great!
[She laughs]
J.D.: Candy dish. Joan Crawford postcard. Let’s see, some mascara. All right. And here’s the one perfecto thing I picked up. Mineral water.
Veronica Sawyer: Oh, come on, a lot of people drink mineral water, it’s come a long way.
J.D.: Yeah, but this is Ohio. I mean, if you don’t have a brewski in your hand you might as well be wearing a dress.
Veronica Sawyer: Oh, you’re so smart.
I won’t enter the comp — feel WAYYY lucky to have won the last BBB Mark Henry comp and get excited when I think an ARC of Battle Of The Network Zombies will soon be on its way to me! But it’s not like I could watch the vlogs then do a runner. I had to say SOMETHING! It’s because I’ve got a big gob, really.
[Reply]
Hi Mark
I loved you web page and you seem like my kind of twisted guy. Now don’t take that wrong this isn’t a come on or anything, but it’s nice to find someone you could blend in with and noone would say she’s odd, strange, etc. I haven’t read you books yet as I’m new to all this but I will as soon as I can get them. I have to wait until tonight as my job is blocking you sight, damn, yes I’m crazy or at least that’s what one of the guys I work with calls me “Crazy Woman”, one of my son’s calls me the “Crazy Lady” no idea why. …LOL… could be my skull collection (not real ones). Question what made you pick zombies over any thing else? Like vampires, werewolves, ghouls, ghosts, etc…
[Reply]
Gotta love Heathers!
[Reply]
Ahem …
It’s me again!
I DO have a question!
How about that?
What are your favorite boozy drinks?
Heck …
What are HER favorite boozy drinks?
Are zombies allowed to have favorite boozy drinks?
Amy T.
[Reply]
Welcome Mark, Hopefully you have a fun time today. Okay back to cracking the whip on my employees goofing off and not working.
[Reply]
Carol - *waves*
Shell - I’m sorry. You can mute it during that part. And, to answer your question, right now, it’s me and Jaye running the League.
Raonaid - I’ll appreciate all the help you can give!!! *rubs Raonaid’s feet (like a whore)*
Lisa - I’m not gonna lie, all the books are gruesome, but they aren’t scary. You just have to take one big leap and side with the zombies. They’re just us anyway…only deader and funnier.
[Reply]
Not that Rachel doesn’t make things a fun time. Okay that sounds wrong too.
[Reply]
Shell: The League forum moderators have the tiaras.
[Reply]
* Preens getting her feet rubbed by Mark *
[Reply]
Hi Mark,
I have never heard of you before this, but Rachel really seems to recommend. I can tell she’s a fan of yours so you must be pretty dan good.
What got you started with the whole Zombie thing????
I’ve never read any zombie books, but have watched quite a few movies, as a beginner to this what book of yours would you recommend for me to try first????

Love Amanda! Love Live Amanda! May her name (and body) be forever preserved.
Any plans for Amanda paying a visit to a screen (big or small) any time soon?
[Reply]
Just need to show some love! Mark you are truly one of my favorite people on twitter! And thank you for responding to your fans. That is awesome.
[Reply]
Hi Mark
I saw your Zombie movies list to watch. Night of the Living Dead came out when I was in high school so you would have been in grade school (I think) anyway that movie is funny to watch now but back then it was gross. At least the guys in my town thought it was. I thought it was funny that the guys were getting up and walking out because they were sick while I was glued to my seat. Yes, we’ve already established I’m crazy, sick or twisted.
Question? Do you think you’ll ever get any of your books make into movies?
You had good luck writing and getting your books published within 6 months, so there’s hope for a movie, right????
[Reply]
Heya Mark…who’s better Fulci or Argento? Why?
[Reply]
Thanks for spending time with us Mark.
What do you think makes readers so attracted to the undead?

Shell - That’s no excuse.
Rao - I happen to be very attentive to the feet. Oils may be involved.
Amanda L, Rao, Koren and Shell. Prepare to be my new minions, you shall be slathered with zombie love!!!
Amy - Thanks and yeah, love the Paranormal Mystery group!

Watching Vlog #2, my husband gave me weird looks.
[Reply]
Woohoo! I like being a minion! Slather me with all the zombielove you want… Just don’t take my feet.
Shell - ROFL!!! Shell are ya sure about the “foot” rub?
[Reply]
Jo K - I mailed the ARC yesterday as a matter of fact!!! God I love Heathers, I may have to watch it again on Sunday.
Belinda - You sound insane. I love it!!! It was always going to be about zombies, they’re my favorite movie monster. Only ones I could identify with as being scary. Werewolves are scary in their violence but they don’t speak to modern horror like plagues and viruses and stuff.
Amy T - I’m loving a Manchu Mule (Grey Goose vodka and green tea ginger ale). If you’ve read the books, you know Amanda fuels up on straight liquor and often.
Rocky - Hey!
TM - Yeah. It’s true. They stole ‘em.
[Reply]
Thanks for coming to BBB today Mark!
Still watching part two but had a couple of comments. First of all…the Cat Who books….did Lillian die? The last book I read seemed as though someone else wrote it while trying to sound like Lillian. Your thoughts?
Snark..I think you’ve either got it or you don’t. You can learn to overcome manners but if it’s not there you’re SOL. (Would love to get my grubby little hands on the Snark Handbook too! LOL And they aren’t really all that grubby. Stubby maybe, but not grubby)
Wine…hmmm…I’m not a big one for wine but you should try (if you haven’t already and can get it out there) Oliver. It’s made in Indiana and isn’t that bad (like I said..I’m not big on wine so “not that bad” is a good thing). Another good sweet wine is Bricco Riella Moscato D’Asti. Verrrrry good.
That’s all I’ve got for now. I have to go get more candy for tonight so I’ll be checking back later.
Thanks again for playing with us here at BBB!

Hey Mark, I’ve been a lurking fan of yours on FaceBook and Twitter and have recently started responding to your tweets. So, hi and all that from snowy Colorado where, due to intense cabin fever (coupled with not one but two viral infections from two otherwise sweet nieces) I have picked up and started reading your books from the TBR pile. You are snarkilicious! I love your twisted view of the world as it was shaped by your prior work experience (yes, I’ve had those jobs too and I’m living proof of the long-term effects although my focus is human services with the occasional ad hoc therapy session thrown in for good measure). So, question of the day: where do you actually do your writing? Are you a wandering coffee shop writer mooching off free refills and WiFi or do you actually get writing done at home?
[Reply]
Hey Misty! I gotta say you start at the beginning and get Happy Hour of the Damned. Just so you know, Amanda, the protagonist, IS a zombie, though she’s rotting rather slowly. Also! I like to say I’m pro-villainess rather than anti-heroine. So expect her to be brutal!
TM - Bakon is on the menu at Richelle’s party tonight. I won’t be denied!!!
[Reply]
I enjoyed the vlog…very amusing. Nothing like vlogging at the crack of dawn to start your day

Great video once again Mark, I was impressed that you like the Cat Who books, i too have loved them for a long time I read them when I want a break from snarky paranormal. Got to run to work, will check back later to see if you have done any more. Can’t wait for your next book to be out.
[Reply]
Spreading the love on facebook, twitter, and myspace for peeps to come here today.
[Reply]
illegal footrubs?! wtf?! That sounds something a real minion would want! Right Rao??*Blinks* wonders where is the other minions are?! hehe
[Reply]
Oh Mark did you just say party? Let us hear about the parties you are attending or have been to so far this year! Are you going to stay home tomorrow night and trick the kids w/bottles of rubbing alcohol or???
[Reply]
Beth/Bama, the other minions are plotting that T-Bonfire later on today. LOL
[Reply]
Hey rpattzlawyer - what you up to?
To answer Michael and Belinda’s question, sadly we got a no go response from Showtime on the Amanda Feral series. They’d optioned it for a couple of years, hired a screenwriter and got all the way to a table reading before nixing it. Sad.
Synde - Argento is better at building suspense and driving viewers insane, Fulci is more of an atmosphere crazy visuals guy. I’m going Argento.
Fallon - I think it’s because they frighten us, show us what we’ll look like after we’re buried. That they’re risen is clearly an expression of hope for an afterlife. (that goes for vamps, too)
[Reply]
It’s nice that you’re in Seattle. If you do a signing/appearance at Powell’s in Portland, it should be a riot. (I’m in Oregon.) I like your jello shooters–what flavor are they? Yum. I have not drunk a Vampire Wine yet, but I like your honest reviews (I have a bottle for the bottle). I hate most Syrahs for their bitterness. Nothing like chalky bitter oak barrel. Thank you for the snarkiness. Many of us nightowls make a run for the border. They probably keep Taco Bell open for us, just in case we have to go to a protein-free buffet and need a crunchwrap. Dude, not even any cheese? I’m out.
I like the idea of the Snark handbook. My fiance is an aspiring novel writer, whereas I only do naughty short stories for amusement (though I suppose I could put them all together and have an anthology). Yeah, I would not be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at 10 a.m. on a Saturday. We vampires would rather be here at BBB and all up late at night reading too many books instead of waking up at the butt-crack of dawn. I think we made the right choice. 
(I love your post-its.) With the snarkiness, I think you and Stephen Lynch would get along. He pokes fun at the horribleness in the world, too. If we didn’t have a sense of humor, I think we’d all just drop dead.
Keep vlogging and thanks!

RSVPed-I agree 6:30 is early. What is your favorite thing about zombies? Or your least favorite thing? WOuld you survive a zombie attack? According to facebook, I would not…

Amy T - the fashions come from research online, magazines and occasional trips to Barney (luckily it’s right next door to the Seattle B&N)
Shell - you get no foot rub. You get ARC (from before)
Jennifer - Thanks!!!
Rao - Don’t make him watch, he’ll go blind!!!

Oh yeah… the rules and such…
Purchasing Books - already own them. Sorry.
Question and/or comment - done and done (above). Although I do have to explain why I am laughing without the image of a CEO calling it in from a uterus. So comments? Yeah, snark can make life interesting sometimes - instesting like a colonoscopy.

Happy Hour of the Damned sounds good, thanks for the recommendation. I don’t mind at all if how brutal the villian is, makes for a more interesting read. What is this group others are talking about, is it yours??? if it is where do I find it. Going to look up this book be right back.

Mark,
I’ll be back to “see” more, and “hear” things I’ll never be able to get out of my brain. And should.
I set my alarm, I did. 6:03 (needed time for hair and makeup) But hells, look at the time! I rolled in at 11:45. Sigh. Truth? I don’t know a man I could get up at 6:03 for. . .even you.

Up before the crack of noon or 4ish just for you Mark….but vlogs not loading properly….I think it is my computer though so will just have to try try again…..
but it is now puppy playtime or so my dogs are telling me…I’ll bbl
should be intresting to see if the record will be beaten….and maybe this time I won’t lose any of my “Toys”….never got them all back from Angie’s last lil shindig…..they may still be returned anonymously….lol
[Reply]
Mark: I was following Richelle’s bakon story online. I wondered if maybe she had such a hard time because you’d beaten her to the punch.
And what sort of punch would you make with bacon vodka?
[Reply]
Mindy S. - I love that zombies just keep on coming. They’re this unstoppable force. And, no, there’s no way I’d survive. Not a chance.
Virginia - Aw…but you have an appreciation for it!!!
[Reply]
Subtle hint there Mark.
I checked, she’s still around and everyone who has read The Cat Who Had 60 Whiskers seem to agree that it isn’t up to par.
[Reply]
Hi Mark, the videos were funny as hell.
Here’s my questions. Have you ever seen the Evil Dead movies (Evil Dead 1 & 2, Army of Darkness)? And what about half-blooded snarkers? Could that possible?
Thanks!
Oh and I would probably be one of those (cough,cough) 10 a.m.ers.

Heya Mark… I lost track but I may be the first to comment on the evolution of Urban Fantasy.
I think it actually started back with Mary Shelley… I know that’s when the stories for Frankenstein and Dracula, etc. But if you think about it, they were set in the current time of the writer so to me, that fits the definition of Urban Fantasy. They were magical stories told during their current times. Though now people would probably just call them Steampunk. Well, at least Frankenstein.
I think that the label ‘Urban Fantasy’ just didn’t come around until the 90’s.
I <3 the Heathers. So wonderfully disturbed.

Kayla - Are you trying to drive me crazy? That’s NOT the cover. It’s an error. Arrrrgghhhhhh!
Oooh Rao, Beth says you write. What?
[Reply]
Holy crap while I was watching, the number of posts doubled. I was taking a drink when you picked up the Snark handbook and I nearly sprayed my computer with Coke. That sounds like a book that would be revered at my house.
[Reply]
I used to read “Cat Who…” too and felt the quality dropped. I do love cozies, though.

Devon - I am the Oprah, here! Do you want to be one of my book club selections? Keep pimpin’ me out and you shall be! LOL

hey, WHINER!
Don’t you blame me for your Rock Band injuries, pal-lie-O! You thought you could take on the great Dakota AKA Styx Cassidy, didn’t you? HAH! I’ve never had a blister and that’s because this tiara-wearin’ drummer is a GENUIS who doesn’t cling to her styx like she’s clinging to her fading youth
Loosen up, Buttercup!

Awwww, the puppy dog is soo cute.
Inkubus Sukkubus? Is that what you said at the end? I lub that UK band. I couldn’t really hear over the hubs TV blaring.
And thanks to Bama/Beth *stares and taps fingers on her desk* I am somewhat an aspiring writer.. Which I should be doing NOW but I’m procrastinating
[Reply]
Alright. So Rachel has talked me into doing a reading. I gotta figure out what. Hmm.
[Reply]
Yay Koren…. you get my message? Keep Mark busy…. gotta go BBB’ers
Later Mark…. keep one of those shooters for me….
[Reply]
Mark - Writing is a hobby.. but mostly I prefer writing fantasy (kinda DnD style fantasy with the elves and stuff) with a little romance mixed into it.. Not saying I’m the best writer but I’ve been sticking with it
[Reply]
You know… I actually remember the cover about the mouse with a motorcycle. Don’t remember the actual story but I do remember having that book once upon a time.
[Reply]
yeah…ok I think I might agree…Argento..it is..
and maybe you can settle this for me…Wyatt Earp or Tomstone…
2tastes that don’t’ go together??/
Hello Kitty and Andrew Eldritch..
Carl McCoy and unicorns.
[Reply]
Rachel–Well, I’m the uber under deadline Devon Monk, for sure! Thanks for the welcome. Nice diggs ya got here.
Mark– “I am the Oprah, here!” Hahaha! That would be a sweet line in a bio. *hint*
[Reply]
Ok, so I guess I caught up on vlogs and returned to my computer just in time for you to post another one. darnit! I have a question..what is this “Cat Who..” everyone keeps talking about? Oh, and I loved the post it notes and snark handbook! too bad I’m not a writer lol.
[Reply]
Oh that was such a cute book! I loved the Mouse and the MC!
Two things that do NOT go together
Rachel (me) and KY (uh that would be the state Mark, not the jelly)
KY and Espresso on every corner
Church and Rachel (me)
(hear it groaning right around my shoulders wanting to fall in on me and SMITE me)
Was it DO not go together or should not? LOL
[Reply]
Ok… I want that book on snark so either give it to me or give me the title and author so I can buy it!! (Or ask for it for Christmas.)
BTW, darling… what are those funky pubes coming out of your chin? I think you missed something when you shaved. *shakes head* Shame.
[Reply]
Okay, Mark Henry, you are so crazy!!! These things are great.
[Reply]
Hi Mark–loving your vlogs! Will you be in Columbus for the RT convention?
Saw you in Pittsburgh and really had a great time.
How is Seattle life?

Dakota, you didn’t just suggest he “loosen up on the stick” did you? Seriously, are you going to keep lofting those up there? You might want to consider a speech writer for Twitter and blogs.
[Reply]
Devon!
Thanks, glad you like the vamp manor.
You will have to email me soon so we can put you up in lights here like Mark…uh well maybe not quite like Mark.LOL We would love to have you!
[Reply]
Damn you folks are leaving me in the dust. Can’t even take a crap without the comments piling up, so to speak!
Misty. They’re talking about the Glamazombies yahoo group, the link is up in Rachel’s list.
Hey Bea! How are you doin’?
[Reply]
Becky F, where abouts in WV.. I’m along the Ohio River area..Parkersburg
[Reply]
I am not sure if boys can ever *really* loosen up on the stick Zombie Joe. LOL Especially not Mark.
Speaking of loose. I didn’t see too many post it notes on the mug this time around Mark. *snort*
FYI on a totally unrelated topic, it is raining like a mo fo here in the great commonwealth (oh yeah you heard that right commonwealth) of KY. It really is kind of like being right there in Seattle with Mark….where I should be!
*sigh*
[Reply]
Now Mark we are doing our part to help you exceed Angie’s posts! Heheh.
[Reply]
Believe it or not Rachel, my temperature thing on my computer said it’s 79 degrees. It’s suppose to rain later and tomorrow while I take the kidlets trick or treating
[Reply]
Zombie Joe - You can’t go wrong with Suspiria, Let the Right One In, Audition, The Exorcist, The Shining, Halloween (of course), and then end with a trio of zombies Night of the Living Dead (remastered original), Zombi 2 (Lucio Fulci’s masterpiece), and Return of the Living Dead for some fun.
Oh please Shell, I can barely pay for my own airfare.
Hey Gayle Ann - You better be back!
[Reply]
I hate rain on Halloween. It is our 11 year anniversary tomorrow! Woohoo! But we are staying in and builidng a fire NOT like mark does in the bathroom. But in the fireplace of our new pad. Well 80 year old pad. Hopefully nobody nested in there over the summer. LOL
[Reply]
Heck we are at 115 comments now. We may just make it. Mark you may have to set up the blog at Richelle’s party and have people help you. OMG that would be awesome. Get some VLOG footage for us!
[Reply]
Koren’s here!!! Okay. So what are the “Toys” of which you speak? Spill?
[Reply]
OMG I need to stop drinking and listening to this. I am going to die! Maltese and succubi music. Now why don’t those go together?
I would buy Team Seattle merch. =) Also as an aspiring author (hint, hint) it is interesting to see your take on things. Even if it is about late night snack runs and skateboarding kids.
[Reply]
Well, since you mentioned it (and you are we have to kick Angie’s ass in comments)…
What are your feelings on the remake of Night of the Living Dead that was done in the early 90’s?
I own both and like both of them in their own way. Just wondering what your take is on it.
Oh oh oh… and two things that don’t go together. Guys and “loosening up on the stick”. At least I think that is what the cool kids call it these days. At least it is according to Dakota Cassidy.
[Reply]
Loved the vlogs, even if you can’t handle Rock Band. A blood blister? Really? Just put down the drumsticks and walk away. Maybe you can duet with Jaye. I’m sure you two would create a wonderful … um, harmony.
[Reply]
Hey TM - I’d make a big old baked potato punch!
Thanks Becky! I’d heard she was getting up there in years. Oh well. Nothing lasts forever.
[Reply]
When I visit, will you make me a huge brain jello shot for breakfast?
[Reply]
I have to agree with Rachel… Vlog at the party! For those of us who don’t have any parties worth going to in our area! *sniffle sniffle*
Dakota’s awesome too! Though, how the heck you guys manage to do the drums on Rock Band is besides me. Whenever the hubs and boys fire up Rock Band.. I always sing (sadly I wish I could say I had a rockin’ voice)! I let hubs or one of the boys play the drums. Played it once and said “Forget that!”
[Reply]
Hi Mark! I love your description for snarky. I too have a deep love of snark. Some think I am a mean, smart ass but I prefer snarky. Sounds much cuter. I don’t have a Twitter account, but I am signing up today just for you, so you better be entertaining. ;o)

Rebecca M. - I loved the first two Evil Dead flicks, how Raimi recreated the story, all of it. Army of Darkness, a little less so. What do you mean about half-blooded snarkers?
Missy - Where have you been, kitten?
Mindy - I’m tellin’ ya. I haven’t read it yet, but it looks awesome.
TM - Poor Lilian.
Dakota - I’m sending you an envelope full of my used band-aids.

T.M. Thomas we’re trying to get all the gabbers to leak out of the woodwork. Hey! on Angie’s I won a fifteen dollar gift card for being the most talkative. I save up for such events! Usually I’m meek and quiet * whacks Beth/Bama for even THINKING of saying something to that.*

Rach, I’ll keep retweeking to help out.. I’m still trying to enlist some of my friends to come along to help out in this endeavor.. Which means if we do beat the 1200 posts, Angie is just gonna have to have another biker party so we could beat that
[Reply]
Rao - It’s actually the song incubus/succubus II by Xmal Deutschland. 80s goth. Keeping it alive! Like your writing, keep it up. Fantasy romance sounds fun. Is there an EROTIC element, cuz…
Synde!!! This is what you were talking about on twitter. I had to close out of twitter just to catch up. You don’t envision Eldritch on Hello Kitty’s back jousting with McCoy on a unicorn with their lollipop sticks?
[Reply]
Huh, then I may have to go search that out. I love the gothic sounds, but there is a goth band (from the UK) called Inkubus Sukkubus. They perform songs with vampires and pagan influences.
Sadly, no erotic elements. I’ve been kinda shying away from love scenes because like fighting (with swords and such) I am very very weak. I’d write an embarrassing lame scene on that. Just keeping that for last to strengthen myself.
But thanks! I’m a slow writer too. This WIP I have been hashing out on for over six to seven years. It’s undergone several revamps and rewrites.
[Reply]
Devon - Totally. I’m using it.
Amanda - Lilian Jackson Braun’s Cat Who books. Cozy mysteries with cats.
Missy - It’s just called The Snark Handbook, it’s in the humor section. And those funky pubes on my chin are actual pubes. I’ve gotten myself involved in a new sexual activity called “chinning”. It’s not for everyone, so…
[Reply]
wheeeeee ARC on the way
I think you just made this halloween the best EVER!! TY Mark.
Hmm two things that don’t go together:
Brushing your teeth directly before having a cup of coffee — eew!
Heathers and morning hangover cures! LOL
The Osbourne’s and ballroom dancing don’t go together..oh wait. They do!
[Reply]
@Raonaid Luckwell
Saw Incubus Succubus in London, many years ago. Very dark stuff. Inspired to go dig out my old CD’s now.
A Heathers and old Goth splurge coming up, me thinks!
[Reply]
Ha, and back in time for #3.
Yes, I took notes on the vlog so I’d remember what to write. Sleep deprivation doesn’t make for a lasting memory. 
And I like notes. Where were the snarky post-its? 
I like rodent stories, too. In the movies (say, Muppets), they are usually sarcastic and feisty, which is more fun, obviously. Hmmm…2 things that don’t go together…Backstreet Boys and Rob Zombie. Hello Kitty and Goth (though Hot Topic seems to have worked that out and combined at least 2 of my selves). I’m sure there are other things, but my tastes tend to combine things that don’t seem to go together. Like vampiric tendencies and sleep or coherency and sleep deprivation.

@Jo K! I am sooooo jealous! I’ve loved their music for years and years, pimping them out to friends to try out! What are your favorite songs from them?
Vampyre Erotica is what first drew my attention to them. Then I like Witch Hunt; Burning Times, Wytches chant (both), Take my Hunger.. heck what am I saying I like just about any song they’ve done
[Reply]
Rachel - Funny you mention that, a storm is rolling in right now. Wind. Rain. All that shit!
[Reply]
I’m from Indiana and I do drink Oliver wine on occasion…when I’m not drinking rum & coke or rum & cherry coke. Have you tried Oliver’s ‘mead’ wine? Depends on whether you like honey or not.
I actually picked up the first of Dakota Cassidy’s Friends books because of the mention of snark in it on your blog. The cover really WAS a turn off. Authors should have more input on their covers, it so did not do it justice.
[Reply]
You totally are RAO way to keep it going. I’m typing as fast as I can. ARrrrrrggghghhhh!
[Reply]
Oh yeah, and I had the neighbor kid whose dad built him plywood ramps that he fell off every five seconds with his skateboard. He could not stay on that thing for the life of him. I feel your pain, and the ensuing hilarity.
Rao–Well MY short stories are mostly JUST the erotic parts, so hey (which explains why they are a page and a half or so). Must be why they have teams of writers. But yes, they do sound funny, though I’m told effective.
Gotta love a good laugh.
[Reply]
BARDSLEY!!!! I’ll whoop your ass in Columbus!!

R.E.B. - * Laughs * Maybe I should have you do the erotic parts. Now I just gotta find a person who excells at writing fighting scenes, preferrably with swords and stuff.
Kidding. I’ll eventually get them.

Okay everyone. I’m going to try and vlog at the party. We’ll see.

Mark, when are you going to come cook for ME?
[Reply]
Two things that don’t go together?
Well, to continue a theme, bacon and vodka. Until proven otherwise.

Mark - You can do mock interviews at the party. That should be highly amusing.
[Reply]
Two things that also don’t go together?
Me asking Mark when he’ll cook for me after attempting to be snarky earlier in the thread.

Tiah - You signed up for Twitter just for me? Aw… I promise to be offensive, but in a cute way. Like when a kitten takes a shit.

Alicia H -Thanks!!!
Marnie Collette -Well don’t get in an accident.
Jenn - Damn them and their work straight to hell!!!
Darchole - Dakota’s cover? I like the comical look. That’s the only thing I like about the new direction of the Battle cover. Hmm.
Teresa - Thank you and your 15 alters.

Stace - I will cook a spread fit for a queen if you’ll come up here!!! Promise!
Rao - Hmm. Mock interviews. Could work. We might have to stretch this into tomorrow morning for that. Don’t know how I’ll upload them. Takes about 40 minutes to process and get onto Youtube. I also blog! http://www.markhenry.us/blog So that’s an option.
[Reply]
Michele - Hell yeah we do. I feel like we’re stalling at a measly 172 comments. Oh Angie. Why? Why?
[Reply]
Whew. Caught up. Now I’ll record the reading for y’all while you think about why you’ve slowed down in the comments. Don’t make me judge you.

* Sniffles * Been trying to get my friends to come in to help me gab.. Oh where oh where are the other gabbers are!

You better practice up for RT. In addition to cupcakes and Italian hooch Dakota has requested Rock Band. It might be a good thing I am not bringing a car load of people. I may need the room for supplies!

Can you bottle and sell some MARK HENRY CHARISMA? It smells like teen spirit and I want to roll in it.

Mark, one of these days I’m coming back to Seattle. After getting coffee, stoking my book lust at any one of the lovely independent bookstores there, and seeing a high school friend, I’m plopping my butt in your kitchen/dining room for a meal. Don’t worry, I had gastric bypass so I won’t eat you out of house and home, but your meals sound fabulous! (and then I’m getting on a plane to MO to sneak in the Laurel’s kitchen/dining room when @thechickenchic is cooking there).

I have to agree Mark shaun of the dead was Hillarious. when me and my other half watched Zombie land we laughed so hard at the celeberty scene tho the Twinkie scene was pretty hillarious
Rao the voices in my head says the same thing tho that they will answer me back i just have to shut up long enough to hear them

Mark, yes you and anyone else (@StaciaKane, @jkcoi, @mrsellars are you here?) you can round up for a fan con would be a great motivator to get me up there. I love the area anyway, so a fan con is just gravy. I’ll even help out with the cooking just to see you all in person.

Mark, my hubby is not gonna be pleased. He’s already tissy because half the bands I listen to come from over seas, mainly Finland. I may have to check out more of that band.

Yeah i know those are the ideas that get me in to trouble the stories i could tell

* Her hamburger is browning, sneaks from the kitchen* Mindy S, apparently that is the song from their soon to be released album (or already released). I feel like a bad fan for not knowing.
But yeah I love Jyrki’s voice.. He, along with Ville from H.I.M, Adam from Three Days Grace are what I consider my “orgasmic” singers. I could simply sit around and listen to them sing
[Reply]
Mark - You certainly an interesting person. I can’t wait to read something of yours soon.

Hi Mark, I am already FB freinds with you and love following you on Twitter (er, well not realy ‘following’ look in a stalkerish way, but you get what I mean. don’t you?)I love the titles you give your books. Battle of The Network Zombies has to be one of the greatest titles of all time!

Here’s one, is there any food item more flammable than taco shells in a toaster oven?
[Reply]

[Reply]
Christmas cookies that you freeze and mean to defrost, but cook instead in the microwave a pretty flammable too

‘kay, I’d be happy with any of those; especially the book of snark. My family trained me in snark, beginning from a young age. My Mom was an ER nurse, guess what our supper conversations were like!
I’m sorry that I haven’t read through the comments, but my bus comes in 15 minutes (after watching the vlog, which already made me miss one) so it’s either head home or read comments. You can guess which one I’m choosing.
Have you ever seen a zombie movie that you honestly just did not like? I don’t mean some bad B-movie thing, cause at least that’s mockable, I mean something that made you go ‘enh’.
I RSVP’s by the way. I tweeted (& follow Mark & Rachel on Twitter). And I posted it on Facebook (where I’ve been friends w/ Mark for ages, not that he’ll admit it, I’m sure).
[Reply]
oh and I RSVPd too
[Reply]
I’m back! Here’s a song for my wife. Her fave… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JUeAQ_urW4

“Chinning”? I’m sure I don’t want to know. It was bad enough when you informed me what “snoodling” was.
I’ve been rotting in the despair of joblessness… working on getting back into a routine though. And you, loveh.
*smooches*

Bauhaus, the music of the college alternative radio station. I used to catch crap all the time for playing their Bowie cover instead of their own stuff. lol
[Reply]
I’m thinking zombies don’t go with sparkly new ballet shoes. Yep, that’s what I think. Loved your marathon vlogging. I realized when I was listening to you that I first heard of you from Jeaniene Frost when she recommended you somewhere online. Just a random thought.
I’m an aspiring fiction writer at 49 after years of doing nonfiction to pay the bills. Snarkiness does not come across well in nonfiction articles that are suppose to be helpful. I need an outlet.
I’m thinking you are the King of Snark, or perhaps the Reigning Snark Champion, or even the Lord of All Things Snarky.

Back from the hell that is Walmart and am late coming into the “two things that do not go together”.
Hmmm….
For starters….a combo of Bipolar/ADHD and adolescence. NOT good together. At. All.
According to my sister….prunes and 7 month old babies.
I also have to agree based on numerous phone calls, texts and emails on the subject….Rachel and KY (the state not the jelly). Makes for riotous laughter on my part but not so entertaining on her part. (Btw Rach….hubs will be in KY (state not the jelly) next month sometime. If he’s near, can I sic him on you? or vice versa)
Doorbells on trick or treat nights and dogs. They go batshit crazy.
That’s all I’ve got for now. Looking forward to more vloging!
[Reply]
sooo could you quit cupcakes if you were a zombie or would you have Wendy’s problem?
[Reply]
damn becky your day sounds like mine every day of the week 6 kids live here from 18 to a few months tho i still believe walmart is the scariest place on earth yet i love going there humm maybe i can blaim all my wierd issues on walmart yuh its walmarts fault
[Reply]
Things that don’t go together…
Dogs and bubble gum. Dangerous combination. Though I’m still waiting to see if they blow bubbles when they eat it and fart.
[Reply]
Things that don’t go together…
Church bookclub and Happy Hour of the Damned.
*evil grin* Unless it’s a book burning… they might like that.
[Reply]
I RSVP’d.
And… I voted (#5)
Thank you for visiting with us today… I especially loved being able to watch your videos…

[Reply]
things that do not go together: peanut butter and cheese. Talk about sending mixed message to your colon. (was awakened at oh-dark-thirty by a partner who was convinced she was dying…after consuming a double bacon cheeseburger with peanut butter - doh!)
[Reply]
Peanut butter and pickles now that doesn’t go together..
And I’m back and my tum tum is full
[Reply]
I think if I end up a zombie, I’m going to adopt the Wendy solution: eat it all, enjoy it going down, and employ “trained forgettery” of the after effects. It’s kind of what I do now anyway only it’s the 3-bite rule combined with the “be in the moment” to make sure that my entire awareness is focused on what I’m doing with as few extraneous thoughts as possible.
[Reply]
Things that don’t go together…
Anal bleaching and - ok, NOTHING goes with anal bleaching. Nothing. It’s just creepy. Except maybe porn stars. They want to stay pretty for close-ups.
[Reply]
Hey Rao: Peanut butter with either sweet or bread-and-butter pickles is absolutely divine!
[Reply]
Teresa I’ve never been a fan of sweet or bread and butter pickles. When I worked at Mikey D’s in my younger days, they had sweet pickles for one of the sandwhiches. Some idjit, with the manager’s permission goes “Hey try one of these pickles.” I took one, plopped it into my mouth and then dashed to the trash can because I did not enjoy the taste. I’m more of a dill pickle girl
[Reply]
Hey Rachel (BBB), I’m retweeting your messages but it’s from my phone so I don’t know how to let you know…
[Reply]
Another thing that doesn’t sound like it should go together…. Pumpkin chilli. Went to a Pumpkin Festival last weekend, and that was one of stuff being offered
[Reply]
Rao, I agree with loving the dill pickles. They are my definite go-to for pickles when adding them to savory food items. Somehow though I got hooked on adding the sweet ones to my peanut butter and the taste/texture combo works for me now. I admit that I like bread and butter pickles better than just sweet ones. So, peanut butter and dill pickles = fail.
Mark, what’s your opinion on pickles?
[Reply]
what a thing to come back to food products and anal bleaching all sounds like last weeks frat party lol humm things taht dont go to gether
dunno everything always can go together if ur twisted enough to try it and and umm missy id bring happy hour of the damned to a churhcbook group and theyd justs uck it up and pretend to like it cause its the ummm church thing to do or something
[Reply]
i have a werid confession
i love pickles and pancakes together with peanutbutter now sweet pickles thats just wrong
[Reply]
another baaad combo: 4th of July (or electrical storm) and dogs.
Also, waterbed mattresses and cat’s claws.
[Reply]
What abotu air mattresses and cat’s claws
[Reply]
So Mark,
How hawt is Dimitri from Vampire Academy?…
[Reply]
Pickles and pancakes? Now my hubs he’ll eat his pancakes with peanut butter. This is the same man who taught my middle boy to eat his pizza with ketchup
[Reply]
kitty claws on a waterbed mattress = several pin-hole leaks. It’s why my mattress has two (2) quilted mattress pads so my kids (the cats) can enjoy the warm bed and I don’t have to buy a new bladder every 6 months.
[Reply]
air mattresses and cat’s claws = no mattress at all.
[Reply]
yes Rao pickles and pancakes most ppl do the whole are you nocked upthink no im not im just weird its part of my charm or some crap like that
[Reply]
Hehehe. Ooooh I’m liking you more by the minute Beverly!!!! You’d fit right in with some of my friends
[Reply]
ohhhh thanks for that Mark…now that is who I would like to meet on Halloween..but that wont happen unless I go to um Germany.
[Reply]
Dill pickles all the way. But they can go with applesauce or goldfish crackers.
[Reply]
* Ker blinks * Dill pickles with applasuace or goldfish crackers? I’d pass with the applesauce, not fond of it myself
[Reply]
* Hear the crickets chirping*
[Reply]
Another one who appreciates the genius that is Heathers. Would love to know what you’re absolute favorite line from the movie is.
[Reply]
LMAO… You always crack me up MARK.. I think your books are AWESOME and some of the funniest shit I ever read.
[Reply]
Hellloooo from Gritty Tacoma, the home of real zombies! I’m so enjoying your VLOGs, and totally grateful that you weren’t my child, attempting to set the bathroom on fire. Of course, my child did shoot off a rocket in his bedroom..no fire, just a busted window. Fortunately he survived it and now has children of his own..and I am coaching them on fun pranks to pull on Dad. (Yes, it’s proof that mothers do eventually get revenge.)
I’m both politically correct and have been accused of being snarky now and then..normally after a couple of Corona’s, so it may not count. I’m probably not very good at snark because I’ve so often gotten in trouble for it.
I’m an essay writer - aspiring to be able to write more than 700 words before I get boring. I am writing a book..in my head. It’s probably very good, but can’t seem to get it out of my head on paper (obviously I’m either really lazy, easily distracted or recognize that it is better in my head than on paper.)
Two things that don’t go together. I would have said Newt Gringrich and Craig Ferguson, but they both blew that theory last night. Ummmm, I was at a Rascal Flatts concert last night (the Cars song hooked me..yes, I have grandchildren and we’ve seen it 74 times..yes, I counted), and there were many, many women and particular items of clothing that did NOT go together. Uh, I guess you had to be there…
I don’t have any questions ’cause..well, I just don’t have questions. That doesn’t make me a know-it-all, it just makes me zoned out today.
[Reply]
PS..I didn’t do anything of the things I was supposed to in order to win anything. Unfortunately, I don’t follow directions well.
[Reply]
I don’t like pickles. I’ve tried all different kinds but can’t stand any of them. it got rather quiet around here since the last time I dropped by
[Reply]
That’s alright Storms
[Reply]
hi i rsvped. love the vblog
[Reply]
PPS (is that a word?) I also don’t twitter or tweet - intentionally. I’ve avoid twittering since a young thang ’cause in my day (God, I love saying that), women who twittered also giggled and had big puffy hair that required a lot of laquer to hold up) and tweeting in public was considered rude (and usually as a result of eating chili).
[Reply]
Is anyone else out there eagerly awaiting Ghost Adventures show tonight? Me and my elven year old is going to watch it. Neither he or I ever liked such shows before, but it grew on us both.
Myself * whistles innocently* I watch it for Zak. That man has some nice muscles, and yes I like how he antagonizes the ghosts..
[Reply]
LOL StormR
[Reply]
Ack! I can’t watch the flogs I keep on hitting the happy triangle in the middle and it doesn’t let me watch them
I’m so disappointed because I watched the other ones that were posted in the sidebar and they were hilarious. Was expecting a few side stitches. I’ll try later.
I RSVPd and am now a twitter buddy with Mark, so I hope to at least read some funnies.
[Reply]
Hahaha that was great StormR!
[Reply]
What’s Ghost Adventures? I haven’t seen it.
