Emergency Alert! Lucky is in desperate need of zombies on Saturday August 16th following the lake swim.  The “Zombie Cause™” is filming a sizzle reel for pitching itself as a reality show.  Lana Turner was discovered at a soda fountain; therefore you could very well be discovered as part of a horde attack (probably not).  This could be your ticket to Hollywood lights, fame, success, fortune (sadly we are referring to future fortune, which you will be propelled into as this is a non-paying gig). So here are the things you need to do to help Lucky out. (we need about 50-60 zombies for our horde so bring friends – you can tell them they will be handsomely paid as long as you do the paying). If you have never seen a Zombie Cause video then check out this commercial that the Zombie Cause filmed for the Zombie Survival Store. (short edited versions of this are currently showing as TV commercials locally – at least the ones that weren’t banned).  CLICK HERE

1. Sign up at Lucky’s house over the next week  during the swims, email him your intent to participate or leave a dismembered hand or foot with your name on it at his doorstep.
2. We will be prepping zombies after they finishing swimming (swim starts at our regular 7:45am time). Non- swimmer zombies should arrive around 8:15 for makeup.
3.The film shooting will be from about 9am to 11:30am. We will have a full professional film crew on site (This is a serious film shoot)
4. We will have drinks and refreshments for all zombies.
5. Don’t wash hair or shave (the longer the better)
6. We have zombie clothes but if you have your own feel free to bring them. No Logos on clothes. Don’t cut clothes with scissors only tear or rip the clothes. Really dirty / muddy clothes are the best and really beat up muddy shoes are excellent.
7. For swimmers we will ask most men to go shirtless (You may insert your own witty comment about our female swimmers here, but I am not going there).
8. This can be a family affair (just like the Ebola virus), but if you are bringing children they must be able to follow directions and especially not smile (we will have smile police and if any zombies are smiling they will be pulled and set on fire.)
9. Don’t apply your own zombie makeup we will give you the look you need.
10. We will give everyone some SWAG at the end of the shoot for participating.

Many thanks for your help on this. Lucky

We have been so successful clearing the Zomberosa of zombies, that we don’t have enough to film our Sizzle reel. Help us out on Aug 16th (perhaps your last chance to do something unique this summer). We will infect you with zombie animation virus. film you, head shot you and then burn your corpse on our lawn, doesn’t that sound fun.  See above for more details.  How to be a zombie click here.

Congrats to Karen Llorens! our newest member of the 100K Club and it only took six years from the day she first signed the wall. That means we will induct you into the 1000K club on Aug 8, 2068, I will start baking the cake.

One up-man-ship to the extreme.  So  you think you are a  Cronut™  expert because you took a little bite of one on “Cronut Wednesdays” here at Luckys Lake Swim? Don’t be fooled. You are not a “Jedi Cronut eater” not by a long shot.   Lucky,  although, now  does carry the title of “ 5th degree master Cronut™ eater” and the following photo doc-u-drama shows you exactly how he did it. You may all now bow before him as he is clearly your gustational superior.

First you must walk to New York city (barefoot). Then arrive at precisely one hour before Dominique Ansel Bakery opens where you will be greeted by 100 people that have been waiting in line two hours before the bakery opens. A man then comes out with a tray of non-cronut baked goods and tries to temp you in getting out of the crount line into the regular bakery goods line (we all know beelzebub when we see him) I rejected temptation.

How long is the line you ask ? Well, every one kilometer or so there are chalk ads for professional line waiters. Don’t be seduced by these ads.  There is no honor in eating a cronut provided by a cronut enabler. 

After waiting an hour and a half another fellow comes out of the bakery and starts counting the line. He gives some goober a long skinny loaf of bread and screams to everyone in line after that person “NO CRONUT FOR YOU – NO CRONUT FOR YOU” Then he starts whipping the crowd with a 27 inch riding crop, telling them to come back tomorrow, but with more respect for the line. The man holding the bread loaf (I thought it tasted a bit like plastic) was the last to be served cronuts that day.

So you finally get inside the bakery and you realize they haven’t actually finished making your cronuts yet (limit two per person).  I think they were threshing the grain when we were outside.

So after over 2 hours I finally get my cronut™. Was it worth it? See below.

What happens when you bite into an original New York cronut. Not photoshopped . . . I was a bit disappointed in that I didn’t hear angels sing too.
