Huge "30 Odd" Honor

Deep within the bowels of B'hold Designs... miles beneath the earth's crust... is the B'HQ Vault of Time and History. Within these walls sits a lone scribe whose sole purpose in life is to put ink to parchment and record the chronicles of our company.

In his time, he has recorded births, deaths, rebirths, zombie exterminations, belching contest winners, celebrity encounters, and who's responsible for what smells in the bathroom.

Now, he has something amazing to record.

Somehow, our pals at 30 Odd Minutes have not only tolerated our antics and hijinxs, they've bestowed an incredible honor upon me, as B'hold Designs founder and dictator-for-life.

Yours truly is now... an "Honorary Oddball."

My thanks to Jeff and his crew. They are truly an awesome group of people that do an incredible job... both in their paranormal research, and in their ability to put up with my shenanigans. 

Check it out HERE.

Aim high. Run fast. Thanks Jeff.

Zombies and UFO's

Remember our good buddies from 30 Odd Minutes? Sure you do. They're the good folks who were tricked persuaded to try out the old B'hold Designs zombification machine! Refresh your memory HERE.

Well, imagine my surprise when Jeff paid a visit to B'HQ with a request for design services! Naturally our four-eyed whiz bangs threw down their copies of Cracked magazine and went right to work designing a new computer console, as well as new setups for their Communications and News departments! We spent the better part of a month in their spaceship, taking measurements, installing software, and raiding their break room fridge.

Finally, they kicked us out we finished and the results were not only adequate, but they were also satisfactory! Huzzah!

Jeff and his crew do a fantastic job, so enjoy the show, and see if you can spot the new set designs lovingly created by your pals at B'hold Designs!

Becoming Michonne

The third season of AMC's "The Walking Dead" is fast approaching! It looks to be an amazing season with new characters fresh from the pages of the comic series.

One of those characters is the butt-kicking, sword-swinging "Michonne" played by Danai Gurira. Playing her has got to be an honor, but imagine the work involved!

Check out this video that gives a tiny glimpse into the work Ms. Gurira has put into bringing Michonne to life.

A Stroll Around the Prison Yard

As I mentioned earlier this morning, the fantastic zombie apocalypse drama "The Walking Dead" is returning for season three in just a couple of weeks, and the four-eyed nerds here at B'HQ are giggling and squealing like 11 year old girls at Bieber-palooza.

Here's a cool video of The Walking Dead's Executive Producer, Writer and Creator of the graphic novel, Robert Kirkman strolling thru the set of season three's prison.

The Return of Awesomeness

We are only a few weeks away from the return of the most amazing television show of all time... AMC's "The Walking Dead."

Season one and two were astounding as we came to know, love, and in some cases, hate the survivors of the "Georgia branch" of the zombie apocalypse. Season three looks to blow them both away in terms of action, horror, suspense, grief and full-on fear!

Check out this video of the cast discussing the changes for season three and what it means to their characters!

More Zombie Apocalypse Training

First, the CDC posts instructions on surviving a zombie apocalypse, then the Dept. of Homeland Security does something similar… both explained as "tongue in cheek" ways of promoting readiness for actual disasters.

Now it seems law enforcement and the military and preparing for undead as well.

Security firm HALO Corp. will incorporate zombies into a disaster/crisis scenario at the Company's annual Counter-Terrorism Summit in San Diego geared to more than 1,000 military, law enforcement, and medical personnel.

Training will commence on a 44 acre island, where zombies will harass participants as they try to do their jobs. According to HALO, it's meant to challenge those experts in working under extreme circumstances where people "become crazed and violent, creating widespread fear and disorder."

Of course it's all in good fun, and HALO is merely jumping on the zombie popularity bandwagon… there are no real zombies....right?

Welcome to the "Zombie PX"

A new business has opened up in Palmyra, PA and it's geared for the zombie survivalist in all of us!

Zombie PX considers itself a zombie apocalypse supply store and carries everything from non-perishable food and gas masks to water bricks (stackable containers that can be filled with 3.5 gallons of water).

Along with survival gear, the store also carries zombie themed items like shirts, mugs, and "Walking Dead" action figures!

Not awesome enough? How about the zombie mannequins throughout the store, including one that actually pukes into a barrel? Need to see more? Check out the full article HERE.

So, running low on bowie knives and jerky? Head on over to the Zombie PX, and tell them they need to stock THESE.

Your Zombie Apocalypse Dream Team

Someone sat down to interview three of the stars of Resident Evil: Retribution... Milla Jovovich, Michelle Rodriguez, and Boris Kodjoe... and asked them a great question. Who would be on your zombie apocalypse dream team?

Check it out:

While their answers might be a little goofy, I think it's a great question and a fun way to get a conversation started no matter where you are. Think about it.

Get dragged to the opera? Ask the bored husband next to you who would be on HIS team. Before you know it, the fat lady is singing.

Trapped at Wal-mart  on a crowded Sunday afternoon with cranky children? Ask THEM which cartoon character they'd like escorting them thru the seas of undead. They'll STILL be discussing it long after you've checked out and started the trip home.

Interviewing people for a job?? Talk about the greatest interview question of all time!! Nothing can give you insight to a person's brain than what supermodel they'd like riding shotgun thru the rotting streets of zombie town! 

Who would YOU want to take along?

Homeland Security: "The Zombies Are Coming!"

Relax, they're not serious. This declaration is actually part of a public health campaign to encourage preparation for actual disasters. They're thinking, if you're prepared for a zombie attack, then you'll probably be ready for about anything else that comes along.

This comes on the heels of the CDC's social media campaign for the same purposes.

Encouraged to use the threat of the undead, emergency planners are trying to motivate people to prepare for real disasters… hurricanes, earthquakes, etc. Some of their recommendations include keeping a change of clothes, water, medicine, and flashlights.

So, let me get this straight. All over the world we hear stories of this new "bath salt" drug turning users into brainless, flesh-eating ghouls, and now both the CDC and Homeland Security have "jokingly" told us to prepare for the zombie apocalypse? Could they know something we don't?

Better grab the bottled water and tylenol while you can. Oh, and maybe one of THESE, too.

Amazing Zombie Prank

This video has been around for a while now. I first saw it a few years ago, but forgot about it until re-discovering it recently.

Is this real? I don't know... BUT, if it is, it just might be the world's most amazing prank ever.

Sweet Rides for the Zombie Apocalypse…Terminator Edition

Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger just picked up a new truck. Apparently the traditional vehicles that the average person drives weren't large enough to handle picking up the dry cleaning, or running to store for power bars and whey protein.

The former Terminator, a long time fan of military-grade trucks, just dropped a cool $250,000 on the customized Mercedes-Benz Unimog pickup.

These aren't sold by Mercedes in the U.S., but are used around the world in construction, forestry and even the military. Apparently they're really good off-road.

I wouldn't run to check ebay for one yet, as they aren't legal on American roads and can barely top 60 mph even if they were.

Here's video of one very similar... just not as tricked out:
