Random Wordplay for Wednesday 9/3/14

Snoilac.

Used in a sentence:  "After finishing the second season of the BBC's answer to Walking Dead called In the Flesh and seeing how much a role Nortriptyline was playing in it, I couldn't help but think about the drug I manufactured some twenty years ago called Snoilac."

I googled it again just now to make sure that no company had taken my creation (and now maybe if they ever do, I've staked my copyright claim on the interwebs and I can score any royalty funds), and it still looks to be unused.

A few notes of clarification ... first, apparently Nortriptyline is *real* and not a fictional item (although, the effects it has on zombies post-Rising are clearly not yet tested) ... second, if you haven't yet found a way to watch In the Flesh, know that you're missing out on a post-modern take on the zombie phenomenon that excels at allegory and surreptitiously adds biting commentary about the times in which we live all in an environment that realistically tackles the "what comes after" the zombie apocalypse ... third, when I say I *manufactured* the drug, I mean that it was a key piece of an audience participation murder mystery I wrote in college that had a character who took it (and then havoc ensued due to a flooding of his system with serotonin).

You heard it here first ... (unless you attended that show in the nineties, and then you heard it there first) ...
