Last Friday was the second annual Tweet Like a Zombie Day, as well as the 71st birthday of maestro of the undead George A. Romero. 

Now that the dust has settled and we've had a few days to get all the #brrraaaaaaaaiiiiinssss out of our system, we've looked back over the Tweeting hordes to pick out a few our favorites. Did yours make the cut? Find out after the jump.

Many of you shared the wisdom of the walking dead:

And while we appreciate the Zombie Pride demonstrated in this next one, we have one small (human) bone to pick: nobody in Shaun of the Dead was an American, undead or otherwise, so don't boycott poor @edgarwright!
