clipping coupons, like the old lady i am wont to imitate, i was rather startled yesterdaty. it seems the ad section of my local staunton paper had printing problems, and the black ink did not come through in the glossies, as evidenced in the coupon below:
a little weird but no big deal, right? then, i turned the page, only to gasp when i saw this:
seriously, how terrifying is this weird orange zombie girl?
We've had a little Scroobius Pip love here before. I wanted to pop you over to an interview that was on the radio this evening. Interesting to finally learn the meaning behind "Thou Shalt Always Kill," as well as confirmation that Simon Cowell is an idiot.
worth noting, perhaps, that his first day was also a 'perfect' show — every game won. and by the look of the highlights, both wheel spinners won 1,000. as best week ever said, bob barker is going to have carey killed. really. rigging the game on the first day.
also, at first i thought this was a joke. but it seems to be real — cbs almost picked up a show called 'babylon fields' this fall. which was about zombies. a zombie-type csi, if you will. no really.
or: how i learned to stop worrying and love the white space.
my mind is going. i can feel it. i can feel it. my mind is going. there is no question about it.
it's funny how the colors of the real world only seem really real when you viddy them on the screen.
fate had determined that he should leave none of his race behind him, and that he should finish his life poor, lonely and childless.
all work and no play makes kurt a dull boy.
(i'm keeping it together by listening to this song on repeat)
as the newly-installed resident English expert, I've been getting a lot of requests from my kids to decipher and/or explain English lyrics. problem is, most of these lyrics seem to be words or phrases randomly inserted into Japanese songs pretty much for the hell of it–and most of the ones i've seen so far make only the barest grasp at sense. (though to be fair, the same can be said for a lot of our hometown lyrics as well, i'm thinking. any takers on the most nonsensical lyric uttered by a native English speaker?)
it's sort of like dropping a 30-gallon Hefty bag full of vegetable soup off the roof of a tall building. you can understand the fact of what it is, but the WHY of it eludes you.
anyway, here's today's case in point, the chorus taken from a song called "maggots" by The GazettE (sic).
Sanction to a dirty sow
I'm not your shit box!
Sanction to a dirty sow
It is different!
You are fat maggots!
it took me about 30 minutes to explain this chorus to my student, and the whole time i kept thinking to myself…
"hey, man, i can totally see zombie hitler groovin' to this".
Check out the zombie Hitler reference here… assuming you don't get sidetracked by the pictures of Jessica Alba, that is. (Yes, Tripp, I'm talking to you.)
Did the zombie Hitler concept originater here at MoG? I'm curious.
the way that i remember the MoG origin is that it came a from an absurd conversation between Tripp and myself… as for whether there is a zH that predates this, I would bet money on it even though I can't think of one. there certainly have been zombie nazis though: you can kill quite a few of them in the Metal Slug videogames.
zH shows up a ton of places online, so while we thought of it independently, others have too. what google doesn't return is anything but mog for the combination of zombie hitler and robot jfk. so i think we can claim that one easily.
i don't know what to say about this. there is something here, something about the japanese schoolgirl fetish, when crossed with zombies. something to say other than 'ow, my head' — something about niches culture, trends overstaying their welcome, etc.
but really, im so amazed by this trailer, no logic is helping me assemble it in my head.
(and, even better, i got to use the zombiedanceparty tag)
what blows *my* mind is that it's apparently based on a novel of the same name. the scary thing is that i try to picture that book, and i almost can…
way to go, though. from the look of it, these are just the sort of zombies who could use a good dance party.
and for the record, i've thought about it, and i think it's very clear that jfk robot would beat zombie hitler on any given day of the week.
i have no doubt either, but damn if i wouldn't want to see that fight anyway.
Did you just make a superficial zombie Hitler reference just so you could use the Zombiedanceparty tag?
no, no, it was a deep and meaningful zombie hitler reference.
as are they all, really.
i think i am beginning to smell mascot. or rotting flesh. maybe they are the same thing.
