Zombie Meme

I saw this on my internet travels (here to be exact)  and decided to share:

You are in a mall when zombies attack. You have:

1.) One weapon.

2.) One song blasting on the speakers.

3.) One famous person to fight along side you (Historical or Fictional).

What are your choices?

 

1. A Baseball Bat.  I'll go with Rich from the above link. More free range of movement, less chance of it getting stuck in someone, less chance of hurting yourself. But I'd make it a steel bat. Steel bats don't splinter and break as easily.

2. Something by Evanescence. I'd say "Bring Me To Life" but that would be a bit to self-referential to the situation at hand. Maybe "Sweet Sacrifice" or "Tourniquet"

3. Wow. Like Rich, I can't just choose one. Here are my top three:

Bruce Campbell as Ash:

 

Which really is a no-brainer.

John Wayne as he was in pretty much all of his movies:

 

I mean, let's face it. He always played a mean, onery S.O.B. He was good with guns and if he had your back, you back is had. Who wouldn't want the Duke by their side as the face down the zombie hordes.

Obi-Wan Kenobi, sometime between "Phantom Menace" and "Attack of the Clones":

 

To start, he's a Jedi, which is nice to have on your side when you're fighting zombies. The zombies get too close? A wave of the hand flicks them away. Heck, he could send a display rack flying into a group of zombies from across the mall. On top of that, he has a sword that could cut through anything. ANYTHING.

And this was a tough choice. Anakin/Vader you can't trust. Luke, Mace Windu? Not really sure how good they are. Yoda? I could fight zombies with Yoda. But I wan't this particular version of Obi-Wan. One not that far removed from the guy who was jumping up and down waiting for his shot at Darth Maul but schooled enough to kick some major ass.

Honorable Mentions: Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Dirty Harry, Wolverine, The Incredible Hulk, The Bride from Kill Bill 

Looking at this post, this might be the geekiest blog entry I ever written. And, good lord, have I written a lot of geeky blog posts.

Guess my favorite movies by their quotes.

I got this meme from Redhead Fangirl. Here are the rules:

1. Pick 10 of your favourite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Fill in the film title once it's guessed.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.

Please try to participate. I'd like to see how close people get:

1. Our love is God, let's go get a Slushie.

2. That gives us exactly... forty minutes to get the fuck out of Dodge. Which, if you do what I say when I say it, should be plenty. Now, you've got a corpse in a car, minus a head, in a garage. Take me to it.

3. Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?

4. No I didn't. Honest... I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts. IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD.

5. I dated this girl for a while... she was really a... nasty freak. She just loved to... get down with... sex all the time. It was like... anytime of day... she was like, "Yeah, let's go! I'm so nasty!" And I'd be nailing her and she'd be like, "Oh, you're nailing me! cool!"

6. Oh... one other thing. If you guys ever have kids and one of them when he's eight years old accidentally sets fire to the living room rug... go easy on him.

7. It is not. I resent that. Slander is spoken. In print, it's libel.

8. Take car. Go to mum's. Kill Phil - "Sorry." - grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over. How's that for a slice of fried gold?

9. You know, there's a million fine looking women in the world, dude. But they don't all bring you lasagna at work. Most of 'em just cheat on you.

10. The man is hurting! He's alone, tired, and he hasn't seen diddly-squat from anybody down here. Now you're going to stand there and tell me that he's going to give a damn about what you do to him, IF he makes it out of there alive? Why don't you wake up and smell what you're shoveling?

Get to guessing!

California Blogging Volume Four: The Paris Hilton Dog and Pony Show...and a Meme!

If all of you are sick and tired of the whole Paris Hilton saga, I feel your pain. Try spending that week in Los Angeles, where the story actually qualifies for local news. The story was all over the TV, local news reporters camped outside her house like the paparazzi and you could not escape it.

I am of two minds of this. One, the whole "I'm rich so I deserve special treatment" stuff annoys the hell out of me. I have to deal with that on a daily basis around the suburbs of NYC I live in. Just because you have more money does not make you a better person. It does not exempt you from the rules of common decency or the laws of the land. It simply means that you have more money.

But on the other hand, I agree with the statement "Paris" made where she said that she wished the news media would focus on other news, like, say, the war in Iraq. There is a war going on, you know. With casualties and everything.

But I think the reasons America latches on to topics like these is because they want to get angry about something but are afraid to get angry about the war or the crappy job the President is doing. Railing on against Paris Hilton is safe. Railing on against the war or Bush makes you un-American. I do both, so I may be wrong in this assumption.

But the whole Hilton scandal inspired me to do something for the first time. It inspired me to create a "meme". I am very nervous to present this to you. I am pretty sure I did it wrong, because, mainly, I have no idea exactly what a "meme" is. And Wikipedia was of no help I used red lettering and all the "memes" I saw used white is this a cardinal sin? I don't know. I mispelled "You're", which seems to happen alot in these things. If I did screw up, blame Jeff. He inspired me to do it.

Well, here it is:
