Something Fishy About That Camel

    Hey, everyone. perhaps the greatest game ever for IOS is Plants vs. Zombies. Today I have been playing the sequel to that game and it is a winner. Yes, Plants vs. Zombies 2 is out and it is a free download with unobtrusive and non-pushy in-apps. There are the normal lovable characters, both heroes and villains, and a lot of new twists. This game is cuter than a spotted puppy pulling a red wagon. There is a bit of subterfuge which you may find amusing, in a historical sense.
    In this version, Crazy Dave has a time machine and he takes you back in time to Ancient Egypt, among other places. There are Pharoah Zombies, Dust Storm Zombies that spin onto the stage, and my personal favorite... I have dubbed these rascals The Trojan Camel Zombies. Here's the recipe. I was doing my thing, planting sunflowers and battling the invaders. Suddenly, I noticed something odd about an approaching camel. There were six legs on this camel! To my surprise, it was actually three zombies carrying a cloth picture of a camel in such a way as to disguise their approach as a harmless dromedary. I immediately fed one of my Peashooters a dose of plant food. He put on a little army helmet and mowed down the Peusdo Camel with a machine-gun-like burst of peas. Disaster was averted. I have to give these guys credit. They took a page from the Trojans who conquered a city with a giant horse filled with men. If their rug had reached the ground, they would be alive today.
     I love the new Bloomerang plant. He throws the boomerang, which should be especially fun for our Aussie friends. When you feed them plant food, their weapons kill zombies on both their outward flight, and their return to your hand... er... stalk.
    Hey, next we go to the Wild West and I am hoping to see a Cedric Gant Gunslinger Plant. Ha, ha. Have a nice day!
     From ancient Egypt, this is CE Wills.
P.S. No camels were harmed during the making of this blog.

The White Chicken Mystery

    The other night I happened to come home very late. It was the middle of the night and I was driving up a steep mountain road. Near the top I saw something white in my headlights. It was standing in the other lane, standing very still. It was a large white chicken. It was probably a rooster because I thought I could see his comb as I whizzed by at my customary pace. He never moved a muscle. This is weird, don't you think?      After a couple of days to consider this phenomenon, I have come up with some plausible answers for his bizarre behavior. 1. He was conflicted whether or not he should cross the road. 2. He was feeling cocky and decided to play chicken with the traffic. 3.He was being hen-pecked at home and had decided to end it all. 4. Someone had egged him on to do it. 5. He had just watched the movie Fantastic Four and decided to try to stop a truck the way that Ben Grimm did on the bridge. 6. He had driven himself crazy wondering if ...

Batman Lives In Washington, DC

    Hey, everyone. I just read an interesting article on Washington Post.Com by Mike Rosenwald. It was titled Who Is the Route 29 Batman? This is a true story about a guy that the cops pulled over. The guy was driving a black Lamborghini with Batman plates. There were yellow Batman symbols on the doors. They had a video from the police car that showed him being pulled over. He was wearing a Bat-suit which he said cost him $5000. His gig is that he visits sick children in area hospitals and hands out Bat-Toys and Bat-books to cheer the kids up.     His name is Lenny B. Robinson and he says that the 'B' stands for Batman. He is perfectly sane and is just a good dude trying to make a difference. He is a self-made millionaire and is currently having a duplicate of the Batmobile custom-made at a cost of $250,000.    It was a hoot, watching the cops having their pictures made with the Bat Guy. Someone asked him where Robin was and he said that the boy won...

Cake Is Better Than Swords

Hey, everyone. On Thanksgiving, we had a get-together here at The Author's Green Retreat. One lady brought a cake which I wanted to show you. It had the look of a Roman Coliseum about it. Inside it was just as decadent...and fun, as ancient Rome. When I cut it open, homemade marshmallow cream began to ooze out in several spots, running over the chocolate cake and peanut butter icing. It is best served warm so the cream is fluid. Very tasty. The same lady, and her children, are people who have played a lot of Skyrim. They gave me some pointers on the game because I am having problems with it. They taught me how to fast travel, and a ton of other things, but the main thing was the armor and clothing problem. This is a little embarrassing, but let me explain. Okay. For several weeks when I played, I would enter towns and everyone I met would comment on my nakedness. I would select a tunic and shoes, whatever, go back around people and they would say something about it. I guess I w...
