I've been waiting for someone to start blasting away at one of these because they thought it was real.

Okay, listen. I am the world's biggest zombies fan. I felt a little weird when it got popular but decided to not be a douche and give it up JUST because it was popular. Why not share my love with everyone?

And then they started doing these retarded zombie walks.

The FUN of zombies isn't BEING a zombie. Being a zombie sucks. You're carnivorous cannon fodder. The fun of the whole zombie GENRE is being the survivor, or best of all, the zombie DESTROYER.

You wanna be hunting the zombies, living it up with no reservation in an Omega Man ferrari lifestyle.

BEING a zombie is retarded. BEING a zombie is not fun at all!

Blasting zombies with whatever happens to be at hand, or better yet still, a well resourced battle team complete with impregnable fortress. THAT is the point.

In short, zombie walks are pretty dumb. It's like having a parade of people KILLED by vampires, not the vampires themselves.

They're completely missing the point!

I read the initial reader comment in that article, and after reading your comment, I can't tell who's the biggest douchebag.

>.>... the zombies are real yet. So let's have fun BEFORE the zombie apocalypse happens man. The dead will rise one day and people will take it seriously. And after everything is dead and the suriving 20 million people begin repopulating the planet, we will be doing the zombie walks again.

Lets see fatty mc dumbass file a lawsuit to stop the zombie walk after he's done trying to stop the fireworks.

I could hear this going on from my house. Zombies walking by all day, some stopping by and wandering into the yard (Chased them off with a croquet mallet). Parking impossible. Loud stage announcer going on and on that we could hear throughout the neighborhood.

You know what? Good. It gives me a warm glow to know there's people having good, clean, weird fun just down the hill. We're used to it in Fremont and I'm all for it, most of us in Fremont are because we like it freaky. It's a good neighborhood that way.

I can't understand how or why anyone (particularly if it's not in your hood) would be upset by this going on. Not caring? Fine. Caring? Fine. Caring about how much you dislike it to comment? Honestly, it's a bit disturbing. Sort of sad. Oh well.

Anyway WOO HOO FREMONT! Go zombies! Happy fourth. Hope they got the record.

KNOW THIS: If you drink of fifth on the fourth you shan't go forth on the fifth.

My obligatory picture post from last year's Richmond Zombie Walk. I crafted a Monroeville Mall security outfit complete with actual Pennsylvania state security badge. Yes, I'm that much of a geek. Still trying to decide on a theme for this year.

Not really... anyways, these events oftentimes goes hand-in-hand with blood or food drives, so they do some actual good, as well as just being fun.

/ I love how the majority of geeks and nerds on the internet actually believe they would be the lone bad-ass survivor in a zombie apocalypse.

Ummm, don't see the problem, looks like you've got plenty of participants willing to play counterpoint in your fantasy and nobody horning in on your lone survivor action.

 
robohobo 2009-07-04 09:35:04 PM  
I kinda hope for a zombie apocalypse. The Earth could do with a good house-cleaning. I'm sure some of you think the same, it's just areas of housecleaning we disagree with. But c'mon, zombies? Awesome. And really, I so believe I'll see zombies in my lifetime,

/also, i just laughed my ass off at a fattie version of 'the bachelor' commercial. Fox is awesome. Fat chicks whining. Always entertaining.

You're missing the point. Being a zombie hunter is fun in theory but as the police tend to frown on your going about bashing people on the head at random prior to any real zombie invasion, no one will really understand your costume without explanation, which makes it kind of lame.

Covering yourself in gore and tattered clothing and lurching about on the other hand is quite fun!

\want to know how the zombie couple in the photo album did their makeup

I just moved into Ballard, right next to Fremont. I can't believe I didn't hear that the zombie walk was yesterday until it was already winding down. I suck at zombies.

1. read the book. hint: its not called 'Omega Man', chuck.
2. people killed by vampires are not vampires or even undead--they're DEAD. so you need to rethink your genres.
3.just cause i can't help myself: play L4D as an infected! great fun.
4.it's called PRETEND, numbnuts.
5.what do you care what they do?

/done geeking out.
