Imagine the zombies you could kill

Yesterday, working from home, I didn’t venture much into the outdoors. Mostly, I left to take The Boy to school, and then pick up my niece from daycare. Both times, though, I heard a helicopter. I couldn’t see it anywhere over the woods behind my house, but I distinctly heard a hovering helicopter. My first thought was that the DEA was out scanning the woods for hobby farmers again, and I pretty much stopped at the first thought. Then I left for work this morning (there was some other stuff in between, but seriously, who cares).

Yeah, yeah, I know. What the hell is that? Honestly, I nearly drove past the dude with the stop sign holding up traffic. I had to hit my breaks so hard I stalled the car. All this happened, mind you, while I fumbled for my camera phone and cursed myself for not having my regular camera in the car with me.

I tried to get a better shot of it, but as you can see the zoom feature on the old camera phone sucks big donkey gonads. When I saw the giant chainsaw suspended from the helicopter I nearly crashed again. Why haven’t we seen one of these things in a zombie movie!?

I realize these photos don’t do it justice, so I found this video. Seriously, that’s one badass piece of machinery.

If they’re still around tomorrow, I’m going to try and get down there with my real camera and get some decent photos. Honestly, I had no idea something like this even existed! I mean, wow, could it get more dangerous for the pilot?

Note: I think this explains the inexplicable power outage that happened yesterday at my house; the power went off and on long enough to knock me off line, reset the satellite TV and every clock in the house, and bum my niece out, who was watching Spongebob. I bet you the knucklehead hit the line.
