In case you missed it, I was searching for the most creative ideas on what a zombie would smell like. The top three entries get codes for CoD:WaW map pack 1. It was a tough competition, but here are the winners.
JanZantinga – A zombie would probably smell like decomposing meat, or maybe like barbecue sauce…depends on what kind of zombie it is. Oh! It might even smell like pizza!…mmmmmmmmmmmmppppiiiizzzzaaaaaa *gargle*
Thomas (no forum name given) – I think a zombie would smell like the funk of forty thousand years, the reek of flesh, and bath soap, because as we all know, bath soap is made from zombies.
Oddfluence - I believe that a zombie would most likely smell like the rotting remains of an armadillo that ate nothing but cat food it’s whole life mixed with the smell of a warm soup of finger and toe nails.
Honorable mention goes to UndeadDog, who gave me a dissertation on Zombie Dog odor. Sadly, you work here and can’t win prizes.
Congratulations to our winners, look for emails with your codes in them soon. For those that didn’t win, better luck next time.

Anyone that has been to PAX knows what Zombies smell like.
Here’s what I sent Dave…
I can’t say much on how a human zombie would smell. They no longer possess the motor skills to toss a stick, so they’re pretty much useless to me. I avoid them whenever possible. I am very up to speed on what zombie dogs smell like, though. Firstly, our breath smells exactly the same as it did when we were living. I mean, you can’t just eat out your own ass and expect to wow the ladies with your minty fresh breath. As for the rest of our rotting carcasses… Have you ever left a bag full of leaves sit in the rain for a week or so? Well, imagine you poured that filth into a bathtub full of vinegar, tossed in some old whitened dog turds and let it marinate for about a 4 days. Then, you used it to lather up a dozen 400 lb. fat princesses and forced them to go on a 20k road march. If, at the finish line, you were to scrape off the resulting muck and sweat and immediately ingest it and throw it back up into a Ziploc bag, you might come close to what an Undead Dog smells like.
