Walk Like a Zombie day

Page: (1)2

18:18 / 19.05.04

I'm proposing to found Walk Like a Zombie day.
It should happen! It's so much more fun than talking like a pirate, and that gets a whole aaaargh me hearty sodding day to itself!
There are numerous variations, from the head-lolling shuffle seen in Sean of the Dead, to a Hammer Frankenstein-inspired arms-out lurch, to that strange skittering rictus from 28 Days Later (blood-vomiting optional).

It could be the next big thing. I want you people to assist me with marketing: I'm thinking badges, bloodstained T-shirts: "UNDUDE! IT'S TOTALLY WALK LIKE A ZOMBIE DAY!"

Hmm, let's have a parade, we can play Thriller and stand on a lorry doing an extremely simplified version of the dance.

Oh! Eep! I am speechless!

I will have to show my gratitude by shambling and groaning.

(Wooooowwwww.... Taaaaaa....)

Cool! We got a date for this?

Alex's Grandma

00:03 / 20.05.04

I think a Monday would be good.

I'd prefer a Sunday, as I generally walk like a zombie anyway then.

Surely you choose a date rather than a day of the week?

Olulabelle

06:05 / 20.05.04

I'd ask her if she likes Zombies first though.

07:58 / 20.05.04

Well, I'm tempted to ask for it to be on my birthday, but that usually falls around International Women's Day and I don't think International Walking Zombie Chicks - actually, that does sound bloody fabulous. But unadvisable.

But I'm entirely open to suggestions.

What about Thriller-esque dance routines? Or a rousing Evil Dead singalong, all the old favourites, like "We're gonna get you" and "Dead by Dawn".
Or some tunes from the new musical, like "Do the Necronomicon" and "Look Who's Evil Now".

I'm very mildly spastic*, so every day is walk like a zombie day for me. Fuckin' wannabes.

*No shit

17:14 / 20.05.04

We could use the joy of international zombiewalking to fundraise for Scope, but I'd be surprised if they'd take the money (rather than, say, poking us with a stick in the eye for taking the piss).

Ok, how about June 1st, day after bank holiday, " braaane, can't find mine... " start the summer as you mean to go on, that sort of thing ? And in London anyway, I'd like to suggest that the first annual march of the zombies is held on Westminster Bridge, with everyone wearing dishevelled office clothes, lightly sprinkled with purple dust. Well if we're serious about this, it does need to generate headlines, godamnit.

All the necrophiliacs I've talked to support 'Walk Like a Zombie Day'. June 1st sounds great.

Maybe it can happen before or after Easter Sunday. Everybody's in the mood for resurrection anyhow...

23:42 / 20.05.04

Are we going with June 1st then? Should we start spreading the viru- er, word?

Olulabelle

23:51 / 20.05.04

But what are we actually having? A parade? If we are then Keggers needs to make T-Shirts.

Say, if I was a Conversation Mod and really anally retentive, I would move that this be shifted to The Gathering, owing to over-use of the word 'MEET.'

You can't say MEET in The Conversation.

Come on. Get with the program.

Bed Head

23:58 / 20.05.04

Psh. Zombies don't meet. They coagulate.

Saint Keggers

23:59 / 20.05.04

Well seeing as how we're still discussing the concept of the idea of the Walk Like a Zombie Day and have not yet decided on what's to be done...this is the perfect place for it. Once what has to be decided has been decided then a gathering thread can be made reffering to this one, if such a thread is warranted.
As for the Keggers should make shirts....keggers can post a big pic of the smaller one so everyone can make their own shirts as there is no way I could possible make the shirts and send them to the wanting 'Lithers in time for WLaZD. (That and Keggers aint rich enough to do that!)
Get with the program indeed!

I think it should be an international thing, like Talk Like a Pirate day. T-shirs would, therefore, be optional.

Olulabelle

00:45 / 21.05.04

I can't even begin to tell you how much this conversation is making me laugh.

Yay, you Barbelith people whom I would never have met but for here. Yay you!

Saint Keggers

00:58 / 21.05.04

Yay us!

"Arrr!"...shuffle, shuffle, drag. (Its talk like a pirate while walking like a zombie daY)

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

01:08 / 21.05.04

Zombie pirates are the best.

Saint Keggers

01:10 / 21.05.04

Giant robot zombie pirates are super-best!

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

01:13 / 21.05.04

Oh yeah, giant robot zombie super pirates rock a snow leopard's ass.

Saint Keggers

01:15 / 21.05.04

Yeah.. I think I have an old anime drawing of one of them rocking a snow leopard's ass. I've never seen such a satified look on a snow leopard before.

Bed Head

01:35 / 21.05.04

Do these giant robot zombie super pirates come from the future, or another dimension? That would impact precisely how much they rock.

Saint Keggers

01:36 / 21.05.04

Well I think its blatantly obvious! They come from another dimension...in the future!

Bed Head

01:42 / 21.05.04

I knew you’d say that! You fell right into my trap. You’re - you’re one of them, aren’t you? A CIA mole, attempting to infiltrate and destabilise (if such a thing is possible) our global ‘walk like a zombie’ project!

What have you done with Keggers, you fiend? (*attempts to pull off your mask*)

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

01:45 / 21.05.04

They come from another dimension...in the future!

...IN SPACE!!!

Saint Keggers

01:47 / 21.05.04

THAT HURTS!!! Of course I'm one of them! How else am I supposed to bring them down except from the inside? Jeeze! You're quite new at all this machiavellian machinationery arn't you? Ofcourse now that you've forced me to reveal myself they're sending they elite death goons after me. I shall have to assume a new identity and start all over.
You've wasted the last 11 years of my life!
