March in Opposition to the Zombies?

[captainsquiggly.livejournal.com]

So I've been seeing some posts about a Zombie March that supposedly takes place in Davis Sq. sometime at the end of may. But I'm not particularly fond of zombies...


So what if we had a march in opposition with Pirates, our mantra being "Booty not brains"?

I fucking hate zombies. I was planning on protesting it, just as myself. Fucking zombie menace.

[myselftheliar.livejournal.com]

Yeah, dead people. They had their chance, they died. Too bad!

[talonvaki.livejournal.com]

Me, too.

I just make a point of figuring out when the stupid march is and keep the hell out of Somerville till it's over.

They have a counterprotest at the same time each year

My favorite is "Adam And Eve, Not Adam And Gbbbbblagh..."

Counter-protesting is definitely welcome. Although sincere counter-protesting, instead joining in the parody of civic engagement, is probably less welcome.

The real question: If you're sincere in the middle of a crowd of hipsters, does anyone pay attention?

Pirates are the traditional enemy of ninjas. What is the traditional natural enemy of the zombie?

[captainsquiggly.livejournal.com]

Uh. Sure Ninjas can come. Ninjas might as well be pirates with different swords and less clothing. (Depending on what visual you associate with each aforementioned character.

wow you finally replied to a comment! i was beginning to think you were morally opposed or something. or maybe you usually just ignore snark and that is why since that makes up 90% of this community.

I think robots are the natural enemy of zombies.

[skexy.livejournal.com]

no; it's monkey vs. Robot

[duffless2323.livejournal.com]

Hey, you aren't one of the robots who protested last year were you? I was the Zombie nun.

[richips.livejournal.com]

humans. where is it that they do Humans vs. Zombies?

[haptotrope.livejournal.com]

shotguns.

Pirates are the traditional enemy of ninjas. What is the traditional natural enemy of the zombie?

The shotgun.

[oakenguy.livejournal.com]

Well, chainsaws are the traditional anti-zombie weapon, so by extension the natural enemy of the zombie is the LUMBERJACK.

what about pilgrims and soldiers; could they join?

yes it's overdone, that is why i said "obligatory"

[mperrotti76.livejournal.com]

I think this may be a job for the 501st!

EVERYTHING is a job for the 501st!

I recall that on this very journal someone posted photos of zombie march opposition protesters, one of whom held a sign that read, "Adam and Eve, not Adam and blarrrgh!" It tickled me.

So I guess it's been done.

Okay, maybe I should click on the links. Blarrgh!

I think you may be right. Cricketers are at least *A* mortal enemy of zombies. I'm not sure if it's the cannonical one, but good none the less.

[rmd.livejournal.com]

i have actually considered picking up a cricket bat to go with my "intramural zombie hunting league" t-shirt. i suppose a baseball bat would be more appropriate for davis square, though.

[talonvaki.livejournal.com]

That, and also vinyl LPs.

[ayelle.livejournal.com]

Dang, beat me to it.

It's mimes, folks. Mimes!

[davelew.livejournal.com]

The natural enemy of the zombie is the mime.

Can't you just hear this movie trailer:
"They locked him in an invisible box. They ate his friends. Now Steven 'The Mime' Seagal is going to show those zombies what 'silent but deadly' REALLY means!"

Re: It's mimes, folks. Mimes!

[lbmango.livejournal.com]

I would *TOTALLY* root for the zombies in that movie.

Re: It's mimes, folks. Mimes!

[captainsquiggly.livejournal.com]

Oh, the brilliance.

[sparkgrrl658.livejournal.com]

gee, i have an idea, let's try to beat one tired played out idea with another.

oh wait

Marxist philosophy

[davelew.livejournal.com]

Isn't that the nature of the Hegelian dialectic? Tired played-out thesis, tired played-out antithesis, fly-ass cool synthesis?

[dariusk.livejournal.com]

Awesome. (Also, I know you vaguely from Yelp. Yo.)

[sparkgrrl658.livejournal.com]

word, hi :)

[ruxxell.livejournal.com]

i still say they need to fight back by dressing up like the characters in TRON.

[sparkgrrl658.livejournal.com]

i'm not opposed to this. carry on with your plans~

[fangirl715.livejournal.com]

Has it actually been determined that a march IS happening at the end of May? And could someone please point me in the direction of info if so? Thanks!

(Must start sewing outfit now, damn it...)

[redcolumbine.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the Northampton zombie contingent has expressed an interest in participating. They've got pirates out there too. Weird place, Northampton.

[pushupstairs.livejournal.com]

zombies and pirates are both fucking stupid.

[blondeamazon.livejournal.com]

You can't do pirates as the antithesis to zombies! THen I would be all confused and not know what to dress up as!!! Wait! Pirate zombie!!! Then I could join both sides. :)

[mperrotti76.livejournal.com]

And.... This is def the sign that it's over...

[jwatriss.livejournal.com]

What about Zombie Pirate ninjas? One group, so hopelessly conflicted and self-hating that it would be the first and last annual, we hate ourselves and want become inanimate, parade/ slashfest.

[tenshikurai9.livejournal.com]

Would a temporary alliance be formed with the ninjas and declare the zombies a common enemy?

[skippenskop.livejournal.com]

Just because I haven't had the internet for about 5 months until last week and sifting through weeks of posts could take so so long - when is the aforementioned zombie march/zombie march protest/stay at home and being apathetic about marches and protests?
