...is this Saturday. Looks like it's going to be a nice day, so I was contemplating riding my bike down. Anyone else going?

What does a vegan zombie crave?


GRAINS.


What does a plumber zombie fix?


DRAINS.


What does a triathlete zombie do?


COMPLAINS.

^this made my day.


stefb

wow, that is pretty close. i think i'll be checking it out.


not too sure if i'll be zombied out, unless a hangover counts ;P

HEAD PAINS.

I find it interesting that part of our culture is obsessed with a fictitious plague, when millions die from real diseases in other parts of the globe


I guess starving kids and people dying from malaria just aren't as entertaining because it's not a perceivable threat to the western world

Yeah, it's a darn shame that the ZombieFest folks are wasting all that time collecting canned goods for the Community Food Bank. What an utter lack of social consciousness.


reddan
2012-10-09 19:28:48

Thanks for the "heads up". Kind of glad I won't happen upon this randomly in the normal course of my day.


edmonds59
2012-10-09 19:42:36

In the case of actual pain, there is "ASPIR-aINs..."


"I guess starving kids and people dying from malaria just aren't as entertaining because it's not a perceivable threat to the western world."


Or, perhaps there is nothing entertaining about it... period.


Now where were we?


Corporate zombies want CAPITAL GAINNNNNS!


Underwear gnome zombies want your HANESSSS!


headloss
2012-10-09 22:20:05

I... I just couldn't figure out any good puns, so I had get in touch with my tri-side and COMPLAINS!


Most of you know I can be pretty crotchety; I need to move in with old people zombies so we can also shake our CANES!


But on a related note, somebody was filming some zombie thing on East End Ave Sat or Sun that involved a bicycle and I was like "Pffft, what could you possibly do with zombies to distinguish yourself as a filmmaker?"


@Reddan

Point taken. I guess large masses of people can do silly things and look charitable as long as they bring along a can of food. The Furries should play that angle.


It really shows the state of things when we look to a group of pretend hipster zombies to feed our hungry and assemble a water balloon fight to work against poverty in Haiti.

Musical comedy could be fun. Nothing like a little soft-shoe, a well-sung verse, and a backup chorus of animate cadavers belting out the REFRAINS.

Yeah, I really hate it when a bunch of people make efforts to be charitable while having fun.

Bike Pittsburgh Zombie Fest Thread ENTERTAINS

Musical comedy could be fun.


Two Duquesne alumnae wrote an awesome zombie-themed opera a few years ago. It was successful enough that they had three separate runs in Pittsburgh.


But on a related note, somebody was filming some zombie thing on East End Ave Sat or Sun that involved a bicycle


I bet to zombies, a bike helmet is like the crunchy candy shell of an M&M.


Oh, and what kind of infrastructure does a zombie cyclist want? BIKE LANES. (Yes, this gag is showing some STRAINS.)


steven
2012-10-10 06:24:02

This running gag is something my commenting upon can no longer... ABSTAIN.


2012-10-10 11:14:31

Honestly, if you're looking for a zombie musical look no further than...


Evil Dead: The Musical


mrdestructicity
2012-10-10 11:30:28

I think the zombies will be coming to town on AMTRAK...

uh, wait...


edmonds59

Oddly enough, zombies seem to be able to drive cars.

LANES

When beating a dead horse, it's best to use the REINS.


[Edited to add:] I love running gag threads, even when the novelty WANES.


reddan
2012-10-10 18:33:42

it may be time to have reddan declared clinically INSANE.


2012-10-10 19:04:34

it may be time to have reddan declared clinically INSANE in the memBRANE?


Wouldn't take much effort for me to FEIGN insanity. And a nice stay at a sanitarium, doing some peaceful arts and crafts, could be restful. Perhaps some knitting...pulling yarn from its SKEIN...


Ok, I'm done now. The pun-monster has been SLAIN.


reddan
2012-10-10 19:15:12

aw, i missed the fun? but puns are my DOMAIN.


well, that ought to kill whatever novelty REMAINS.

Ah, the fun never stops. Is it miracle, magic, or merely legerdeMAIN?


reddan

Don't hug a zombie or your spandex kit will have STAINS.


pseudacris
2012-10-10 22:19:32

2012-10-10 22:25:23

And, when coping with a zombie plague, always follow Rule 18 (Limber Up), lest you suffer SPRAINS.


reddan

@pbeaver


What? AbSTAIN?


mick
2012-10-10 22:26:52

if it's getting to be too much just turn off the internet...

or move to BAHRAIN

Who would DEIGN to call this "too much" ?!?

Saddam Hussein

The only way to ask him involves means most ARCANE.


reddan
2012-10-10 22:34:57

Indeed: to raise the dead might be considered PROFANE


pseudacris

^ But would it be HUMANE?


teamdecafweekend

Dunno, but I bet it'll be hard to SUSTAIN.

OW!!!!!!!


2012-10-10 23:10:11

Are you in pain?


2012-10-10 23:24:13

In a boat they'ed be the COXSWAIN

On a roof they'ed be a weather VAIN

In the deep south they'ed be told to ABSTAIN

Do you need some novaCAINE?

You think so? Please exPLAIN.


reddan
2012-10-11 16:18:18

well, i thought page 2 might have been the puns' BANE, but that idea seems to have gone down the DRAIN.


hiddenvariable
2012-10-11 16:48:24

Quite frankly, you couldn't elevate the level of discourse here with a CRANE.

@pbeaver-I recently saw a shirt I desperately want--"Keep Calm and Carry IoCANE."


2012-10-11 18:25:57

It's amazing, the random bits of trivia one RETAINS.


Sadly, I suspect this will prove to be just another of the posts that @pbeaver DISDAINS.


reddan
2012-10-11 18:44:17

But why, when the topic's GERMANE? Maybe pbeaver merely FEIGNS DISDANE.


(I bet they don't have zombie threads like this in Portland, though they might in SPOKANE.)

This thread should be monitored by our BP friend JANE; I think she’s from MAIN, but I did see her eating chow-MEIN, so my recollection might be in VAIN.

Are you saying that how it's spelled doesn't match how it's spokane? If so, I'll take the blaine.

buffalo, this board doesn't have nearly enough IPA. i kept meaning to get in here with some for marko's /?k?ks?n/ from page 1.

nope, i guess not, i'm going back to hiding under the bed.

Be careful not to tilt the bed too much, or the mattress may slide off the inclined PLANE.

I think this GAME has become INANE, and I'm going INSANE with a MIGRAINE.


How long can we SUSTAIN?

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.
