Romero's Wager

The principle that being prepared for impending zombie apocalypse is the safer bet than not being prepared, as the loss if one is incorrect is minuscule in relation to the reward if one is correct.
"Dude? Why do you have a chainsaw and a sawed-off in your umbrella stand?"

"Romero's Wager, man."

Romero's Law

The point in a conversation of any topic where Zombies or the Undead are brought up. Similar to Godwin's Law, in that, whomever brings up Zombies has automatically lost the argument.
Original Post: "I have a question for you all. When recruiting/interviewing/hiring how do you rank qualities/qualifications of a candidate?"

Response: "I use one based on an old example of a previous work situation, but I leave out the names of clients. Then ask them how they would go about solving it. There is one that I'd like to use to test a persons character and reaction by throwing in something totally random to find out what they would say. Like, there's news that a zombie outbreak has happened in the city, what would you do next?. Something like that would open up a persons true character, but I'm not brave enough to bring that up, maybe you should and tell us how it goes ;D"

The response invoked Romero's Law

Leonardo Romero Syndrome 

A serious brain disease discovered in early 2009. It affects the ability of the infected to speak. Examples of the disease are found in the 2010 documentary "When Lions Attack... Your Brain!" This disease is not highly contagious, but there are a few risks to those exposed to the victims of the disease which have yet to be identified.

The symtoms of the disease are excessive talking, shamelessness, an unfounded sense of self-importance, and an obsession with Lady Gaga. These symtoms can lead to ridicule by those who are ignorant of this terrible disease.
Leonardo Romero, is the test case for Leonardo Romero Syndrome, and is therefore the most severe example of the disease, even though there are some literary examples which prove the disease's existence as far back as the 1500's.
Mr. Romero, in several instances expressed a well developed intellect, but the inability to speak without an entire room bursting into roaring laughter and mutual disbelief. The test subject was unaware (at the fairly developed age of 17 years) of what a Mosque or what Ground Zero were. Not only was he poorly informed. He announced his lack of knowledge to about 30 people.

Sierra Romero 

Sierra Romero is amazing. She's one of the smartest people you'll ever meet, yet she doesn't make everyone know it. She is an amazing friend who will always back you up and support you. But don't be mistaken-she's not afraid to speak her mind. If she thinks you're wrong, she'll tell you. She doesn't believe in love, yet she's experienced it herself.

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.
I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
