BOSTON — Is Wal-Mart looking to buy warehouse retailer BJ's Wholesale Club? And if it were, would getting a piece of the New England club market be worth the risk of raising red flags with the Federal Trade Commission?
This story first appeared in the April 15, 2003 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Most analysts were surprised and skeptical by the speculation, which surfaced Thursday and sent BJ's stock up 6 percent by market close on Friday, to $13.92.
Spokeswomen for BJ's and Sam's Club declined to comment. Natick, Mass.-based BJ's competes with Wal-Mart's Sam's Club division.
BJ's has 140 stores, 31 of which are in New England. Five additional locations will open this year, according to the spokeswoman. In contrast, Sam's Club has 14 stores and Costco operates 12 stores here.
Darrel Rigby, head of Bain Consulting's global retail practice, called the speculation "irresistible."
"Even if it's not true, it should be," he said. "BJ's needs scale and Wal-Mart needs good real estate in New England."
But Emme Kozloff, an analyst with Bernstein, pointed out such a deal would surely come under FTC scrutiny, possibly causing a big hassle for relatively little gain.
"BJ would be nice for them to have, but what would really be the point?" she asked. "It wouldn't be significantly impactful to their business."
Billy Vigdor, antitrust partner with Washington-based law firm Vinson & Elkins, predicted the FTC would examine any proposal to merge Sam's Club and BJ's.
"They'd look at significant overlaps in store base by metropolitan area and ask whether they compete head-to-head and if so, would they constrain each other's pricing," he said.
And because Sam's and BJ's each have significant food businesses, that would raise the profile even higher. The FTC has been active in looking at mergers between food and supermarket companies, he added. They're also paying attention to big-box formats: A proposed merger between Staples and Office Depot was quashed on the grounds that the two shared the same format and, largely, the same customer.
None of this means the acquisition is out of the realm of possibility. Wal-Mart has been willing to acquire chains in order to grow Sam's Club in the past; notably, in 1993 the company bought the Pace warehouse chain from Kmart. In addition, New England is an attractive but tricky region for retailers. It has some of the nation's greatest population density with some of the highest levels of disposable income, but land for development is scarce and costly.
Wal-Mart shares closed at $54.17, up $1.19, or 2.3 percent, on the New York Stock Exchange Monday, while BJ's closed at $14.08, up 23 cents, or 1.7 percent, in NYSE trading. The Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced a hefty 147.69, or 1.8 percent, to end the day at 8,351.10.

Since one of my friends here is writing about his favorite current gen games, I thought I'd write about my favorite games of my favorite gen for this week, with four given each day.
20. Super Mario Sunshine
Sunshine is far from my favorite Mario game, but at the end of the day it's still a Mario game and I still loved it. The FLUDD was an interesting new mechanic that the game did a pretty good job of keeping fresh throughout the time I spent playing. If the environments could just have had more variety, this would have probably been top 10.
19. Spider-Man 2
Everything in this game is crap except the web swinging. Combat's a mess, the city's pretty lifeless, and the graphics leave much to be desired. But swinging around New York was so much fun it turned this from another movie game into an amazing game. Everything from the speed to the physics perfected what I wanted swinging around as Spider-Man to be like. It's the reason my favorite part of the game was delivering pizzas, nothing but web swinging there. And for some reason, they decided to change the one thing they nailed for Amazing Spider-Man. I don't get you Activision.
18. Jet Set Radio Future
The could very easily have been replaced with the original, but I had to give the slight edge to Future as the better game. Offering much smoother controls in areas completely revamped for its new mechanics, Future is what a sequel should be as it took out what didn't work in the original and replaced it with mechanics that do. It still retained all of the first game's charm, however, as the graphics and music created a sense of style that few other games have.
17. Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse
Name me another game where you can beat a guy to death with his own arm.
Stubbs the Zombie is a character I desperately wish would make a return to gaming. He was hilarious, charming and lovable despite that he was eating the brains of innocent victims. It's something very hard to pull off, but resulted in the creation of a very unique character. The gameplay was just as creative, taking inspiration from Halo of all things as you would raise a zombie army and chuck organs to use as grenades, roll your head around until it explodes, fart (seriously), or have your arm possess someone to use their weapon. If you haven't played it, give it a shot, it's an XBOX original on XBLA and a very unique game.
Also: Destiny looks FUCKING AWESOME!!!! It's now my most wanted game for 2013, even above Pokemon X/Y.

The A-4 retained the A-3's basic structure; however, the newer version's FuG 16 radio resulted in the addition of a ventral antenna mast on top of the A-4's vertical stabilizer. The hinge control moved the aileron up or down according to inputs sent from the pilot's control stick. Even though the Black Hawk and Seahawk bear a strong family resemblance, there are many differences between the airframes. Prada Purse Vitello Shine. The impressive transatlantic flight was eclipsed some five months later by the 'Streak Eagle,' a stripped down F-I5A which set eight time-to climb records between 16 January and 1 February 1975.

Savannah Ghost Tours
Please Note: We are sorry to say that until further notice Old Savannah Tours will not tour the Sorrel Weed House. We are sorry for any inconvenience.
Ghost Tours in Savannah are hugely popular because Savannah is a city built on the dead, literally. Our tour takes you on a 2+ hour journey into the dark side of America's "Most Haunted City." (That's right. Over 2 hours.)
Why us? In addition to a full tour of the most haunted spots in Savannah, you'll have exclusive access to the Rum Cellar at The Pirates' House and tour the Sorrel-Weed house–two of the most haunted buildings in Savannah. In case you aren't aware: The Sorrel-Weed house has been featured on the SyFy Channel's "Ghost Hunters" & "TAPS" and is ranked in the top 10 for "Most Haunted Attractions" and "Creepy Places in America."
The "Infrared Room" at the Sorrel-Weed House is the most popular spot on the tour for ghost hunters from around the world. Watch orbs on the four cameras located in the eerie basement.
Did we mention we've been providing visitors to Savannah trolley tours since 1979? (That's twice as long as our nearest competitor, but who's counting?) And, we're the largest Savannah owned and operated company. By the way, we guarantee no "canned" scripted tours–ever.
Tour Features:
- 2+ hour narrated tour through Historic District
- Pick up and drop off at your hotel
- Dinner at The Pirates' House (optional)

... And by "little people" I mean Speaker John Boehner and NYT Columnist Nick Kristof.
Speaker Boehner's question read "After embarking on a record spending binge that's left us deeper in debt, where are the jobs?" Obama kicked off his answer by saying "Well, obviously, John's the Speaker of the House... he's a Republican, so this is a slightly skewed question." Maybe it would be easier for you to answer, Mr. President, if it came from your frends at the AFL-CIO? No? Alright then.
There were other questions... a cherry picked handful of softballs, all of which could have been (and were, indirectly) answered with a link back to the official WhiteHouse.gov site. If you missed it, here it is, broken down question by question.
The event itself was relatively uneventful. President Obama delivered his standard long-winded responses. He tweeted from the stage, taking time to note that it was an unprecedented move for a President to "live-tweet". Ultimately, it was a way for him to take questions and keep up appearances without dealing with reporters and their messy follow up questions. It was also, however, a novel thing to do, and was able to generate plenty of buzz.
What the White House failed to consider is that the one place conservatives dominate on the "Internets" is Twitter.
Giving snarky Twitter users an #askobama opportunity is like Christmas in July, and the opportunity was seized. GOP leaders and conservative influencers were all in on the game, drawing more and more people in as the 2pm start time came closer. The Huffington Post chimed in earlier to say Republicans were crashing the town hall. (Is it a problem for Republicans to ask the President questions, too? He is, after all, the President of both Democrats and Republicans.) The Wall Street Journal also jumped in, highlighting tweets from the #askobama stream. The President's team had thrown him into the proverbial Lion's Den.
The end result was that it fell a little flat. The "curators" couldn't hand Obama the hard questions, and no one really got any answers. Obama can still say he did something new and groundbreaking. Many will see it as a desperate attempt to revitalize the waning support he had among the youth in 2008, and they're probably right.

Bottom might be around $4
The vast majority of sony's shortfall this quarter came from the movie segment going from positive to negative. Movies are by nature hit and miss, this isn't a long term trend in itself. Good luck if you're waiting for single digits.
Sentiment: Buy
You are right, the movie segment produced most of the shortfall. However, most of the segments also did not turn profit, even though the depreciating Yen was on their side. They still managed to post bigger losses than last year,year-over-year, when the Yen was strong. So this highlights bigger issues than just the Pictures division. If macros were not enough to make you beat last year's weak performance, this says a lot about managements competence to turn this ship in time and make Sony competitive again in the market place.
I really wish Sony to succeed, but they need bigger and more drastic changes. This ship is definitely a very long term play, however, when considering opportunity cost I have to signing-off my position at a 25% loss, and cannot convince myself to own a part of Sony when management is so lousy in asset allocation and ROI record.
Until I see drastic changes in management (since I believe marketing, products, design, brand are still extremely valuable) I will be on the sidelines watching this brave company try and turn things around.
Complete nonsense. Sony's turn-around strategy depends on a successful roll-out of PS4 echo system and we will see exactly how that goes in only 2 weeks which by all indications should put a nice squeeze on those 5 million+ shorts. There should be plenty of signs of growth over the holiday season which should propel the stock up where it belongs. Anything less than $20 billion valuation for Sony is an insult.
My friend, you are right about the PS4 mostly being a success, but you're missing the fact that the game division has almost always only represented 10% or less of total revenue for Sony. So as much as I agree with you on the PS4's success, I don't see that turning the whole company around by itself. It needs further strengths from other areas which at the time seem very weak.
Sony most likely will not drop to 9$, but we need to understand the situation soundly and adjust our expectations. This company needs much more work, and the PS4 with the Xperia line are not enough to turn this ship around.
Good luck, guys.
ure nuts. Unless Japan goes into a severe recession this wont happen. I think you can safely short it to the low teens though over the next few months.
Exactly, Sony won't go out of business, but it won't grow anytime soon. Will it keep dropping? Possibly, cannot tell you honestly.

If you want to sell in 2012, realize the gains and hold the stock, you just sell it and buy it back immediately. All the IRS wants to see is the sale price and date of sale. This is a 'fear tactic'. Nothing more.
why sell it and buy it right back if you can sell it and watch it drop another $100 before january 1st and then buy it back.
It would only apply to those who have a capital gain but want to hold at the current price. It would apply to any stock. XOM, GE, etc. My point is that the news casters are playing this up to be a major downside risk in the market. If you want to sell a stock and get out of it, then sell. If you want to keep the stock and think it will go higher, just do the SELL/BUY in 2012 to protect the current gain from higher capital gains taxes in 2013.
I agree to an extent, but upon selling, the seller would need to pay the capital gains taxes which could be a sizable amount of money. Theoretically, the seller would only be able to purchase 85% (not exact since taxes are based on profits, but good for argument sake) since 15 % would need to be paid to uncle Sam.
For Example:
Let's say for instance that someone sold $1,000,000 in Apple profits. That person would now have to pay $150, 000 in taxes. This is a lot of "extra" money to pay if you didn't have to sell.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Well, you actually agree totally with what I am saying. The investor pays a lower capital gains tax in 2012 and 'protects' the current gains from a higher tax rate. Then simply repurchases and starts with a new basis.

Reviews for Novarossi "Turbo" #7 Long Body Ultra Glow Plug (Cold) [NVRC7TGC]

Novarossi "Turbo" #7 Long Body Ultra Glow Plug (Cold)
This is by far the best glow plug I've used. It is a bit cold, but you would be surprised how often a cooler plug is needed to survive the hard running we do in off road. Just remember to use a hotter 97t for break in and switch to a c6tgc in cooler weather for running, and this c7tgc for warmer weather. it will idle lower and smoother and last so much longer even when run hard. Just remember as a general rule hot weather cooler plug to last in the heat, and warmer plugs for cooler weather to keep the engine running, that's how I remember it.

Just got my nexia after driving it on the motorway I can safely say that gearbox is SH1T!!!! It only does 65mph in 3rd, and 90 in 4th whereas my old Veccy 1.8 16v done 95mph in 3rd.
Does anyone know what gearbox this is and what gearbox I can replace it with?
Aout 80% of my mileage is on the motorway, so a gearbox to suit high speeds would be good.

Community celebrates Marysville's 78th Annual Strawberry Festival
MARYSVILLE — After an extended period of hard work, the 2009 Marysville Strawberry Festival is upon us, and the event's organizers couldn't be more pleased.
Jodi Hiatt is a past president of the festival, who's still active in its arts and crafts. She acknowledged that, in the current economic climate, finding sponsors has been a bit more difficult than usual this year, which is why is she lauded the efforts of the sponsorship committee, and singled out Judy Anderson, Carol Kapua and Angie Miller for praise.
"We all like to think that ours is the hardest job, but the sponsorship committee probably faced the toughest challenge this year," Hiatt said. "We're all committed to putting on a festival with the same level of quality that we've had in the past."
Anderson commended the festival's sponsors as "fantastic," noting that they've been even more generous in their support than in previous years, to the point that even sponsors from previous years, who have been unable to participate in this year's festival, have assured festival organizers that they want to be part of the festival again next year.
"Throughout the year, everyone has really pulled together to help each other out," Anderson said. "We're like a family that way."
Hiatt noted that several new people have joined the festival this year, including Kerry Jorgensen, whose work in coordinating the fashion show has impressed Hiatt.
"It's hard to step into a well-established event like that and just take it on, but she's done a great job," Hiatt said.
A scheduling conflict left the Marysville Rotary unable to coordinate the tricycle race, so festival organizers have had to step up and take that event over this year.
"It's been a scramble, but we have seven teams confirmed already, with a potential for seven more," Hiatt said.
Genie Rinderer, advertising chair for the festival, acknowledged that this year's festival organization has been "a little more hectic" than last year, with "a lot more last-minute changes," but she nonetheless expressed pride in how the festival is turning out.
"Last year was abundant, but this year, people are a little more cautious," Rinderer said. "We're right at the same level of parade entrants that we had this time last year, though. A lot of folks tend to do things at the last minute, and we have two less parade entrants now than we did this time last year, so the parade should be just as good as it was last year."
Rinderer is always excited to check entrants into the Grand Parade, while Kim Mease has been organizing the Kiddies' Parade from Spokane.
Marysville Mayor Dennis Kendall has longtime family ties to the festival, since his daughter was a festival princess "the year that Mount St. Helens erupted," and his wife is a past president of the festival.
"A lot of people don't realize the time that goes into putting together this festival," Kendall said. "It's not just the organizers, but also the volunteer members of the community, who step in when they're needed. There are a lot of old-timers who have seen this thing grow and are still involved, and they come out of the woodwork to help out."
Kendall praised the festival as "a great community effort" that enhances the image of the city as a whole.
"We're a small enough city that we can invite everyone out to come see the parade," Kendall said. "It brings the whole community together, and it kicks off the summer. I always look forward to it."
Caldie Rogers, president and chief executive of the Greater Marysville-Tulalip Chamber of Commerce, settled down in Marysville, when her son was born, in no small part because of events like the Marysville Strawberry Festival. Because her family moved around so much when she was a child, she never developed a sense of having a hometown, and she's come to cherish the sense of hometown that she feels pervades the Marysville community.
"The Strawberry Festival is synonymous with 'hometown,'" Rogers said. "As we grow from a small town into a suburban community, it's critical that we retain that hometown feel, and the heart of that feeling lies in community traditions. The Strawberry Festival is among the best of those community traditions."
Rogers noted that the Chamber strives to preserve that hometown feeling as well, and added that far too many members of communities neglect to take advantage of the events and attractions that lie in their own backyards.
"I would encourage everyone in Marysville to participate in at least one of the festival activities," Rogers said. "You will come away from it richer, and with a greater sense of home."
In the meantime, this year's Berry Run already kicked off at the Smokey Point Plant Farm June 13, with the one-mile run starting at 8 a.m. and the 5K run following at 8:30 a.m.
"We got 81 pre-entries, so we were already looking at a really good turnout before the event," Anderson said.
The festival also conducted its fashion show, June 16 at noon at Leifer Manor.
"We just want to thank everyone, in advance, for coming out to the festival and supporting it," Anderson said. "We all look forward to this festival, all year long, and every year, we're so grateful to the community."
The 2009 Marysville Strawberry Festival Talent Show will take place June 18 in the Marysville-Pilchuck High School Auditorium, with doors opening at 5:30 p.m. and the show starting at 6:30 p.m. Admission will be $5 at the door, with children under 7 being admitted for free.
The Funtastic Carnival will run until 10 p.m. June 18-19, until 11 p.m. June 20, and until 5 p.m. June 21. Carnival-goers should look for coupons offering discounts for June 18.
The Marysville Strawberry Festival Rose Planting Ceremony will take place June 20 at 10 a.m. at the Red Caboose at Fourth Street and Cedar Avenue.
A new event for this year, "Kids Party in the Park," will take place in the Totem Middle School outer courtyard June 20 from noon to 6 p.m. Ronald McDonald will be performing from 12:30-1 p.m., and from 1:15-2:15 p.m., the Marysville YMCA will be presenting Zumba for kids. The Marysville Performing Arts Centre will stage a 2:20-3:30 p.m. show, and the "Reptile Man" will follow from 4-5 p.m.
The Kiddies' Parade will kick off June 20, with registration outside of the Totem Middle School offices, located at the intersection of Seventh Street and Alder Avenue, from 4-5 p.m., judging from 5-5:45 p.m. and the line-up for the parade starting at 5:45 p.m., at the intersection of Seventh Street and State Avenue.
The 78th annual Grand Parade starts at 7:45 p.m., at the intersection of 76th Street NE and State Avenue. The post-parade fireworks display follows that same day, at approximately 10:05 p.m. in south Marysville.

Arik Lee, 30, and Ashley Miller, 20, both of Lake Ozark, were arrested for possession and cultivation of marijuana.
Bond was set at $50,000 each.

These are just some of the many overrated things in the world. But one that never runs out of short supply is NFL teams going into the season.
Optimism is always high in the off-season but at a certain points, the general public and media make certain teams out to be Super Bowl locks when they are clearly not. In this case, some of the teams aren't even locks to make the playoffs.
So with that said, here are the most overrated teams going into this upcoming season.

Explore Sore Cracked, Dry Cracked Feet, and more!
Takes the dead skin right off. All you need is shaving cream and Listerine
As many times as I've been to the beach! I never knew this!! Easily remove sand from your hands by "washing" them with baby powder! This works great for cleaning kids up after playing in the sand box as well!
Many women face the problem with unwanted hair on the face, which can be very annoying and problem for their confidence. Therefore, those women use many options such as waxing, bleaching or even shaving to get rid of the unwanted hair. Laser is also an option, but not everyone can afford it. Luckily, there is ...
Make your own shaving cream. Note to self: this recipe makes for an awesome shave but is very runny. I'm trying more of the thicker ingredients (conditioner & lotion) to see if it holds together a little better instead of turning into soup.
Get rid go dry skin on feet naturally
I recently started replacing my beauty and skin care products one by one. This has Frankincense essential oil which I love the smell.
Silky Smooth Legs Sugar Scrub - Apply a small amount of this scrub before shaving for silky, smooth legs year round!
Make sure that you have 4 teaspoons of lemon juice, 3 teaspoons of plain yogurt, 4 tablespoons of honey, and 1 egg white. Mix all four ingredients together and let sit on your scars for 15 minutes. When the 15 minutes are done, simply rinse with warm water.
DIY Lemonade (Lip) Balm // can be used for dry skin or spider veins at night also!

Concerned about our driving
My mother is terrified of my driving. I have mentioned this before, but it bears repeating since she hates to go anywhere with me, despite the fact I have been driving for more than 15 years now and have only been in a handful of accidents.
It's been years since I've wrecked a car.
She still doesn't like my driving. When the weather gets bad, and it is snowy or icy out, her worry increases seven-fold. When she knows I am out-and-about in bad weather with her grandchildren in the car, she's on tenderhooks the entire time. I have to call her on departing and on arriving at my destination. If I forget, she calls. If I take too long – well, you get the idea.
This past weekend, in the worst snowstorm we've had in years, she and my father decided to trek to Kentucky. They wanted to celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary and decided they would do so by taking a week-long vacation in Nashville, picking up my brother, Davy Crockett, and sister-in-law, Glinda the Good, on the way. (My parents can't even go on vacation to celebrate their anniversary without turning it into a cavalcade.)
I was a touch concerned. I know Grampy Grumpy has been driving for 40 plus years. I know their car is in good working order – Grampy Grumpy is a good mechanic, and he always checks the fluids before a long trip.
I was still worried.
So I called my mother.
"Hey, are you really going to leave today?" I asked.
"Yes, we have reservations, and we need to coordinate with Davy and Glinda."
"Do you have a blanket in the car? It's not like I think you're going to break down or get into an accident or anything. It's just, you might get stuck in traffic." Grampy Grumpy would be highly offended if I suggested he might have an accident, regardless of whether the temperatures were going to be sub-zero and there were six inches of snow.
"No, no, there's a blanket in the back seat," she assured me.
"Do you have something to eat in there? You might get stuck in traffic. If you're stuck and traffic, it would be good to have something to eat if you got hungry." I just needed to maintain the illusion I was worried they might get stuck in traffic.
"We've got that cheese gift set that you gave us for Christmas."
"Good, good, that has crackers and meat in it, too. Why don't you just throw a couple of water bottles in there, too. In case you get stuck in traffic and get thirsty."
"Well, I guess I could do that."
"Do that – you don't want to be stuck in traffic and be thirsty. Think of how grumpy dad would be if there wasn't anything to drink."
"Well, OK, then."
"You want to charge your phone up, too. The cold drains the battery fast."
"I will."
"Oh, and mom?"
"Call me when you get there."

Mercer's Homer Lifts Pirates
PITTSBURGH (AP) – A.J. Burnett allowed one run and struck out nine in seven shutout innings, and call-up Jordy Mercer hit a tiebreaker home run to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 3-1 victory against the Washington Nationals on Friday night.
Burnett (3-2) gave up five hits and one walk in winning his third straight after going 0-2 in his first three starts. He also raised his NL-leading strikeout total to 57.
Mercer's two-run home run off Ross Detwiler (1-3) in the fifth inning put the Pirates ahead for good 3-1. Mercer was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis before the game when second baseman Neil Walker was placed on the disabled list with a right hand injury.
Detwiler went five innings and gave up three runs and six hits while walking two and striking out five.
The Pirates won for the fourth time in six games and the Nationals lost for the fourth time in six games.
Andrew McCutchen had three hits, including a home run, for Pittsburgh. Leadoff hitter Starling Marte and Gaby Sanchez added two hits apiece.
Mark Melancon pitched a scoreless eighth and Jason Grilli shut out the Nationals in the ninth for his 12th save in as many chances.
Washington first baseman Adam LaRoche went 2 for 3 to equal the number of hits he had in his previous 11 games and 38 at-bats.
McCutchen hit a solo shot off Detwiler in the bottom of the first inning to open the scoring. The center fielder has 10 home runs against Washington in 24 games.
The Nationals tied it in the fourth on Danny Espinosa's RBI single. It was just the second hit in the last 23 at-bats for the second baseman.
Indians 7, Twins 6, 10 innnings
CLEVELAND (AP) – Drew Stubbs' RBI double with one out in the 10th inning lifted the Cleveland Indians to their fifth straight victory.
Stubbs, who had four hits, drove a 1-0 pitch from Casey Fien off the wall in left-center to give Cleveland its first five-game winning streak since winning seven in a row from April 26-May 3, 2011.

It amazes me when I actually attempt to take a survey on the web how poorly designed they are. Most of the time I disregard them, but sometimes a product that I like runs a survey and I would like to offer my feedback. I got one of those recently and on the third page, which by the way is already two pages too long, they present this screen. The question being asked is, in essence, "what one feature do you most wish the product had?"
To answer this they provide a list that is so long that it expands over the entire browser. In fact, that screen shot only shows about half of the options available. On a 30" monitor I could not get all the options on the screen at one time. Ridiculous. Dumb. Failure.
At that point, I give up on the survey, and decide it is more fun to write this article. Sorry Strategic Vision, no feedback from me.

ZOMBIE CRAWL: Rocking the Rot (Demystifying Decay in the Undead)
Demystifying Decay in the Undead
With a fondness that the uninitiated have difficulty fathoming, we fans of the undead often find ourselves referring to the zombie scourge as rotters. But the use of such an epithet belies a systemic lapse by contributors to the literature: our rotters don't rot. At least, not in ways that adhere to the natural processes of decay.
Putting aside arguments of suspension of disbelief (after all, we're talking reanimation here!), it's understandable that writers in the genre generally eschew the technical minutiae of decay in their

The Loneliness of the Long Distance Rotter - Are Zombies Self-Aware?
-posted by Saul
The Loneliness of the Long Distance Rotter
Alan Sillitoe's short story, The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, was required reading when I was a freshman in college, and one with which I had formed a profound and abiding intellectual connection. I was a budding scientist working on an ecology project deep in the backcountry above Santa Barbara, California. The site was quite remote, requiring a ninety-minute hike through some fiercely dense scrub along the bottom of a seasonal creek named after the cut it had dug through the rock, Rattlesnake Canyon. I often lost myself inside my own head during those hikes and would be startled upon reaching my destination having only the faintest memory of the ground over which I had just traversed. (At least until the day I stumbled upon an actual rattlesnake sunning itself in my path, but that's different story.)
Suffice it to say, there was a period of time after finishing Runner that I entertained taking up the sport of cross-country. Fortunately, twenty minutes later, the takeout pizza I had ordered was delivered, and sense returned to me. So ended my brief foray — well, mental exercise — into track-and-field.
Fast forward roughly thirty years and once more I find myself revisiting that story, its main character Smith, and the theme it embraced— not of what it must be like to be a working class young man in 1950s England, but the mental processes that Smith uses to escape thinking about his dismal prospects beyond petty crime. As a writer of zombie fiction, I can't help but wonder what it must be like to be trapped inside the mind of one of the undead slogging through the apocalypse, nothing to do but to contemplate a future far bleaker than Smith's, no hope and only the slimmest promise that the slow eternal jog through hell will eventually lead to some blessed salvation.

The lights in the cell flickered, then went off, throwing them all into a dull, gray twilight. The backup generator kicked in, along with the emergency strobes. Stu didn't seem to notice.Eric held up his free hand. "He needs help. We need to call someone."The rattling of the ventilation system came to a halt. All was eerily silent for a moment. Both men looked outside the cell, as if sensing that something had changed.Marco sputtered on the floor.From elsewhere in the block, someone shouted in dismay. Then the racket quickly grew as the other prisoners took up the chorus.Stu turned back and stepped toward Eric again. Marco was holding onto the cuff of his pants, gawping for air. Stu tried to shake him off. "Get offa me, homes.""Wait a minute," Eric said. He could see that Marco was trying to speak. He was gesturing with his other hand out through the bars of the cell. "There's something—"A screamed pierced through the growing clamor. The banging noises and shouts sharply increased. Then came another scream.But Stu was too focused to hear them. He leaped. Eric hadn't been expecting it, but he instinctively stepped back, barely managing to avoid what might have been a fatal attack, but Stu had misjudged the distance and gotten off balance. Eric grabbed his shirt and pulled him down. "Something's happening out there! You need to stop!""It's nothing compared to what's happenin' in here, f**ker," Stu growled as he stood up again. His eyes flashed red. He backed Eric up against the bunk and laid the edge of the shiv against his nose."Now you gonna see what I'm gonna do to you for f**king up my friend Marco."
To be notified of when Dead Reckoning will be released and a heads up for the pre-order discount, as well as other news and offerings, make sure to register for my newsletter, The Tanpepper Tidings.
