When I first saw this, talking about zombies killing "Tom," (and from
someone named "Bob" no less, I couldn't help but think about the song I like
to play while we're playing Zombie Fluxx:

Re: Your Brains
---------------
Heya Tom, it's Bob from the office down the hall 
Good to see you buddy, how've you been? 
Thing have been OK for me except that I'm a zombie now 
I really wish you'd let us in 
I think I speak for all of us when I say I understand 
Why you folks might hesitate to submit to our demand 
But here's an FYI: you're all gonna die screaming 

All we want to do is eat your brains 
We're not unreasonable, I mean, no one's gonna eat your eyes 
All we want to do is eat your brains 
We're at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise: 
If you open up the doors 
We'll all come inside and eat your brains
--------

I figured it was an on-purpose reference to the song!  :-)

Here is one I'm kicking around....



"Kill Tom" - creeper

You can not win if you have this card.
If the Rules or Goal currently allow for your victory, discard all rules,
goals, creepers and/or keepers from all players that would satisfy the win.

This card moves in the counter-turn direction any time the goal is changed



As a clarification of the name of the card: back in college, on poker night,
I had created a game where the last card turned up was wild. But if you had
that card in your hand, it killed your hand.
One of my friends, Thom, would always have a winning hand and (every game I
can remember) he would get killed.
We renamed the game "Kill Tom"
