Obambies

I was talking with Stephen (an Obama-ite) at work today about how the pres-elect's followers are just that. They follow him around agreeing with anything he says, like a bunch of zombies. Instead of chanting "BRAAAAINS!!!" like regular zombies they say, "Thiiisss isss an hissstorrric mommmennnnt." (Historic, I assume, based on the color of his skin rather than the content of his character or his policies..... Dream on, MLK.)
So then I imagine Obama telling his zombies to shut up and give him their money so he can spend it on government programs, and they say "But weeee donnnnn't havvve any monnnnney lefffft."
To which he replies, "That's okay, we'll just borrow it. You can pay it back later. Or your kids can. Grandkids too, morelike. But one thing's for sure, I'm gunna spend it!" And the zombies say, "Ohhh-kayyyy. Whaaaat a greaaaaaat day forrrr ourrr naaationnnnn."

Somewhere during that, I decided that the Obama zombies should be called "Obambies". But before writing this post I decided to Google that word to see if I was, in fact, the first to utter it. Ha! I was surprised to find out that I'm probably just the most recent. What does a guy have to do to come up with a new word these days?

Zombie Pub Crawl IV

This past Saturday was the 4th Annual Zombie Pub Crawl here in Minneapolis. What a bunch of crazies, man. I remember reading about last year's Crawl, when the paper quoted the following exchange:

Leader: "What do we want?"

Zombies: "Brains!!!"

Leader: "When do we want 'em?"

Zombies: "Brains!!!"

Heh heh. I thought that was pretty funny. Isn't it just like a bunch of zombies to only have one thing on their minds?
