"Wesley Wyndham-Price" warns City Council of possible zombie attack. City Creek is vulnerable to attack, apparently.

Good story! Salt Lake City - funny AND beautiful.

Oh my God. That is ingenious.

Have to admire a guy that plays an April Fool on his entire local council. Glad they saw the funny side or he wasn't going to get his bin emptied for the foreseeable future :)

Furball | April 06, 18:29 CET

That is TOO funny. I love that they actually played along with it.

I love it that "Wesley Wyndham-Price" is a Georgia transplant (my home state). I wonder if he has a British accent or a Southern drawl. :)

Yeah, funny, but it should be Wyndham-Pryce.

Garim | April 06, 21:44 CET

Garim, I've seen "Wyndham-Pryce" and "Wyndam-Pryce" (on IMDb), and I don't know which one is correct. I was quoting the news story's spelling in my previous comment.

Does anyone here know the canon spelling?

ActualSize | April 06, 22:02 CET

Nice. Would've been even nicer had no one picked up on the pseudonym.

I've always been under the impression it was 'Wyndam-Pryce.' That's the way closed-captioning shows it, anyway.

QuanticoMVP | April 06, 22:38 CET

Not that it doesn't have its share of typos, but Angel:The Casefiles has it as Wyndam-Pryce. As does "The Watcher's Guide" vol. 2.

Hee! Books! With real paper! Giles would be so proud!

I love that someone did this, and that his real name is shrouded in mystery and legend. He is my hero for today. (ETA: scare quotes around probable misspelling of the name)

BTW, is this really our 16,000th thread? Wowzers.

That is very clever. Sitting through Council meetings can be pretty dry. Felt like a zombie a few times but never had to re-draft the City's emergency plan to protect against them. Very fun.

Well like the saying goes its all fun and games until someone gets eaten by a zombie.

kimkim | April 07, 02:15 CET

It is "Wyndam-Pryce," though they spell it wrong in the comic (which irked me I admit).

ShanshuBugaboo | April 07, 03:30 CET

Gotta love this:

"Then he got specific and all reason helicoptered into the ether."

I'm sure I'll use that.

Nathan says everybody should have a zombie plan.

Anonymous1 | April 07, 04:21 CET

The spelling error was almost worth it to validate the question "is he related to Vincent Price?" Classic.

ninjapigeon | April 07, 04:55 CET

Ok. That made my day!! Brilliant, and kudos the the mad genius that came up with that idea. Well played, Wesley, well played my friend...

Tarheelfan | April 07, 06:11 CET

Oh, those wacky Mormons, first they try to convince us Mitt Romney is Presidential timber, now this, I just don't know what to expect from them next.
