Here there be zombies

[fiddlergrl]

Athens, TN, has zombies. Or at least, a zombie. How do I know this? Because last night as I was standing on a bar playing "The Devil Went Down to Georgia", I felt a sharp pain in my calf. I looked down to see a grown man biting my leg!!! I figure he must be a zombie, and a hungry one at that if he's going after legs instead of brains. It's the only

Really? Really-really? A man bit your leg? While you were playing The Devil Went Down to Georgia? Really?

I'm... stumped.

[fiddlergrl]

That's my reaction exactly!

Frankly, this is horrifying. I never thought that zombies were a professional hazard... the human mouth is full of human germs. Did he break the skin?

[fiddlergrl]

He didn't break the skin, I was wearing heavy jeans and he didn't have the time to gnaw through them. Though if he had, I would have dragged him to the hospital and had him tested for rabies.

Ah! Obviously a denim-eater! Perhaps a cousin to the Eater of Socks.

I wonder if you could (or should) sharpen the end of your bow...

[jcw_da_dmg]

It's the only explanation that makes any kind of sense.

Really? I'm surprised it's taken this long, given the audiences you play in front of.

[fiddlergrl]

I suppose that's true... guess I better watch my back for the vampire crowd next.

That is pretty fucked up right there.

Yeah, jokes aside (and believe me I thought of them), how did you handle this? A swift kick? And were there any bouncers present who got a chance to relieve pent-up aggression?

[fiddlergrl]

I started by not falling off the bar, because I was wearing my tap shoes which are very slippery and when the dude bit me, I was startled and therefore off balance. Then, I let out a loud and angry, "Hey!!!" which was enough to alert the security guy by me that something was wrong, and he pushed the guy away, not to be seen for the rest of the night.

sheesh

Glad to read you would have the smarts to drag the fellow to the hospital immediately. More likely a problem than rabies would be HIV. Anyway, as someone else said, the human mouth is filled with bacteria.
