Two for Tuesday: Humor & Creepiness

This weekend’s romp through the Fenton Street Village and the DTSS Farmers’ Market brought some good laughs, as well as a dose of creepiness. Let’s start with the funnies:

Goat Bangers. I don’t think I need to say anything else.

Ditto on this one.
green hairy balls

On top of this, we had what seemed like an abundance of mannequins. I don’t know if it’s some misplaced anxiety or if I’m the only one, but between the whacked facial hair, bizarre makeup, and a Sharon Stone look-alike, the whole place felt like an episode of The Twilight Zone.

And now for our Zombie Fix of the Day:
rc zombieThinkGeek.com now carries a remote control zombie. For the amazing low price of $24,99, you, too, can have an undead minion obey your every command, courtesy of the brain remote. As if that wasn’t enough: “To help your zombie, you can also pose its articulated neck, shoulders, and hips. Just keep reminding your zombie that it shouldn’t eat a big brain like yours; it should eat many little brains like those found in your coworkers’ heads. Because studies have shown that many little meals during the day are much better for you than one big meal.”

    “The New Goat Bangers” would make an excellent band name.

    Dammit! Wish I’d thought of that. Excellent call!

    I bought that vest. I’m wearing it at work right now.

    A shame we don’t work at the same place. We’d be twins.

    I’ve heard brains are also very high in fat.

    Yes, I have been called “fathead” many times and consider myself brilliant.

    We call the non-fatheads POMACS: Persons Of Merely Average Cranial Size. Unfortunately, we’d be targeted in any zombie invasion. Those of us with huge craniums, that is.

    LOL POMACS! I give you much credit if you made that up on the spot.

    I think everyone in the Zombie Walk should buy a remote control zombie and have them all walk up the street ahead of them.
