        From the looks of it they’re now inside that zombie gator.

    It is an interesting world where someone can be experienced in surviving exactly this situation, but still not yet be good enough at it.

    Remember: Any plan where your hat eats you is a Bad Plan.
    But then, being eaten by a juju gator isn’t much better.

        Nya? I thought you Jaeger-types liked a bit of ultra-violence, nyao. Being eaten by a hat, wouldn’t that just be a warmup for you guys, nyao?

        Oh, and say hi to Krosp for me, would you, nyao? He’s such a handsome tommy… {purr}

        Given what the streams around these parts are like, I think they’re actually up it now. Possibly without a paddle.

    And that, ladies, gentlemen, and those yet to decide, is why you don’t tempt Fate; for Fate has giant zombified crocodylians at its disposal, as well as a sense of humour…

    Well, he WAS swallowed whole, so at least he wasn’t torn to pieces. And if he routinely carries a small oxygen tank, an underwater welding torch and a HUGE amount of antacids – well, a crocodile’s stomach might be the safest place to hide out for the next few minutes…

      True, however, the “chawmp” was in blood red… doesn’t bode well.

        I wonder if their new color vision lets them see the chromatic implications of sound effects.

    (TUNE: “You Belong To Me”, Pee Wee King, Redd Stewart, and Chilton Price)

    See the hungry zombie crocodile!
    Eating Sewer Santa, zombie-style!
    Now digesting in the zombie bile!
    He’ll be zombified!

    First, the engineer said, “Follow me!”
    Then got eaten, boots and all, oh me!
    Hope the zombie croc won’t swallow me!
    I’ll be zombified!

     Sad, our leader fell … in combat!
     Mad, the science do-ing that!
     Bad hat!

    Found the entity for which we seek,
    But survival chances looking bleak!
    Now we’re li-te-ral-ly up s**t creek!
    We’ll be zombified!

    Given the running children’s literature motif, am I the only one who thought of this?

        Not by a long shot. But perhaps in a time zone that allows you to comment a lot sooner.

    There’s Hat hair and Bed head
    There’s Cowlick and Split ends
    Nappy and Kinky, Disheveled and Lanky.

    But do you recall…
    The most famous hair-threat of all…

    NarNar, the rogue hat zombie.
    Had the teeth all tucked inside.
    And if you checked for its pulse
    You would have to say it died

    All of the other zombies
    used to laugh and call it names
    They never let poor NarNar
    Join in an zombie games.

    Then one stinky sewer day
    Sewer Santa said
    You should follow me tonight
    Then your future will be bright

    Just then the NarNar jumped him
    With a zombie Crock-o-dile
    NarNar the rogue hat zombie
    You’ll live on in his-to-ry

    Does Director England’s first name happen to be Harry? I looked but I couldn’t find it.

    Because if it is, we can say, “That’s some bad hat, Harry.”

    I really wasn’t expecting what appeared to be a zombie of a mammal fur to be able to transform into a full-sized zombie alligator. That’s one heck of a secondary form. It suggests that these zombies are either secretly transformers, or that they follow the Big Bang theory of sudden evolution.

      It’s actually a second zombie, not the same one. Still, your theory is better [obscure reference that could come from anywhere].

    You will improve with practice. Like any other addiction, the more you indulge, the easier it becomes to slide deeper and deeper into the abyss …

    Anybody else think of Samuel L. Jackson in Deep Blue Sea?

    Admittedly the hat might be more dangerous than the shark, but still . . .

      I did. In fact, I was going to comment that he’s the Samuel L. Jackson of this story, but I was afraid that no-one else would get the reference. It’s good to see I’m not alone in my insanity 😛

    Aha, rogue hats! A tragically underreported cause of death that claims tens of life every decade.
