Zombie Lurch

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the it-only-takes-braaaaaaains dept.

user_granstro writes "Madison, Wisconsin is the next city to face the shambling undead hordes. At 2pm on Saturday, October 22, zombie fans will assemble in full costume to kick off Zombie Lurch 2005. Organizer Maddie Greene, a self-styled zombie expert, says of the event, "I think that any bystander could jump right in and become a zombie with the proper groaning and limping and attitude.""

    I can understand the dupes. I can understand the trolls. But NOT posting a time-sensitive story such as this is ridiculous. This was yesterday, mr. editor.

  3. Hey, we found the MIT time travelers convention! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    Unfortunately, the effects of time travel are quite deleterious to one's physical well being. Symptoms include advanced necrosis, body parts falling off, sudden craving for human brains, etc...

    Why not go for the triple play and dupe this as well?

    It wasn't nearly as exciting as the Post-Homecoming Game Zombie Revelry in the Streets that happened yesterday evening. Zombies lurching down State Street may be kind of cute, but it can't compete with the awesome power of thousands of zombies in red shirts shambling aimlessly around the city, consuming unholy quantities of some unknown urine-colored substance (possibly the sustenance needed to keep them alive since all the brains in town had locked themselves in and shuttered their windows for the weekend?), driving like spastic blind chimpanzees at incredible speed all over town, urinating on the sidewalk, and so on. It turned particularly exciting around 10:00PM - about four hours into the event - when many of the males began fighting outside bars, presumably over alpha status.

    You do have to consider the fact that zombies are real. So in a sense they are advocating slavery.

    (Not really, I just had to make a point)
