Zombies Wars!

Part IV, A NEW HOPE 

It is a period of civil war. 

It is the Election Season of '12.

Zombie lovers, striking from hidden ballots, have won their first victory 

against the evil Living Empire. 

During the election, zombie spies managed to infect dead politicians,

 getting them elected by a pathetically unaware general public.

Now pursued by the Empire’s sinister agents, 

Earl Wood and Charles Beasley races home 

aboard two decked out RVs, 

custodians of the zombie political hope,

the only thing that can save their people 

and restore freedom to the dead….

This is a dark time for the rebellion.

Although the zombies won local elections in Florida and Alabama,

Living troops still pursue zombies through swamps and forests.

A third member of the Zombie Party rose up during the elections,

Charles Darwin, the scientist behind the Theory of Evolution.

He won more than 4,000 votes in a Georgia federal contest.

but Darwin lost to Representative Paul Broun.

Can the Zombie recover and get elected to the Federal government in 2014?

Or will the Living Empire crush the Zombie Rebellion forever?

For the real stories, read how Darwin did win votes in Georgia and how a couple of stiffs beat out the competition.

Beware!! It's the Marietta Zombie Walk!!!

Brains!!!!

Marietta Zombie Walk - Braaiiinnssss

In years past, I've watched programs on famous zombie walks around the country.  From Pennsylvania to California, people have dressed up for years as zombies and strolled around streets or malls, groaning for fun.  Inside I wept, for I knew that Georgia was way too conservative for something like a zombie walk.

This year, a group of people proved me wrong.  For this coming Saturday is the first annual Marietta Zombie Walk!!!!   Sponsored by the City of Marietta, the Strand Theater, and a whole lot of other folks, the citizens of Cobb County now have the opportunity to sport fake death wounds while calling out for "Braaiinnsss".

The activities actually start early in the afternoon and continue well into the night.

•  The Earl Strand Theater scheduled four old zombie movies, starting at 2:00pm with "White Zombie".  
• From 2:00pm to 5:00pm, zombie wannabes can show up at The Brickyard to get help with their costume from local makeup artists.  Local photographers will also be on hand to record your zombie moment.  
• At 3:30pm, "King of the Zombies" infests the big screen at the Strand.
• After the walk, the Strand continues the zombie fest with "Teenage Zombies" at 8:00pm, followed by  the world famous "Night of the Living Dead"  at 10:00pm.
• Doodlebugs will be offering yarn zombie dolls for the kids for $1.50.

The real infestation begins at 5:00pm, as zombies from around the area converge on Glover Park, donating canned food for the living.   After all, we need healthy living people if we're going to eat their brains.  Then at 6:00pm, the zombie walk begins!!!

My family and I will all be dressed up for this event, as well as several of our friends.   My son's hoping to have a Zombie Nerf Brigade, and my daughter will be either a Zombie Princess or a Zombie Fairy.  Personally, I am going as a bog standard zombie.  By 7:00pm this coming Saturday, I'll have one more item checked off of my bucket list.
