Sushiesque: Billions of Dead Things

I wonder if Frank made it.

wow its amazing they should exicute order 66 with a lot of clones XD

Awesome find. Its always interesting to find older pictures of the way something will work in the future, and then compare it to what actually ended up being the case.

Wow, that wasn't a question I ever expected my mom to ask. Must be a completely, totally different Katya.

Still a great interview. I usually don't give Beefeater much of a chance, but 24 actually sounds nonboring.

twitter.com/robmarais:

What a delightful read on what goes into my next favorite gin. Classic Beefeater has been my mixing gin for eons. I'm intrigued by 24, all the more so by learning of Payne's care and craft in creating it.

sushiesque:

Not that I noticed. But I was getting over a hideous cold and not particularly interested in the beverages.

quinciana:

Katya's Mom just wants to know whether this is the blogger who would know whether gin was served at Fuzzy's wedding in Maine.

Bryana Dunn:

Every doodad is a doohickey. Half of all thingamajigs are doohickeys. Half of all doohickeys are doodads. There are 30 thingamajigs and 20 doodads. No thingamajig is a doodad. How many doohickeys are neither doodads nor thingamajigs?

infinityisalie:

Even as an insufferable teetotaler, I found this a wonderful read.

alphonse:

whts the answer to i am glass i am superior i am china i am placid pleassseeeeee help

Beefeater:

Hanky Panky is an amazing cocktail. One of my personal favourites. My recipe of choice looks something like this.

2 PARTS Beefeater London Dry Gin

2 PARTS Italian vermouth

2 DASH Fernet Branca

SHAKE All ingredients over ice

STRAIN Into a chilled cocktail glass

SQUEEZE A freshly cut orange peel on top

Awesome Video Tutorial on the cocktail: www.beefeatergin.com/mixology/video.php?video =Hanky%20Panky

jaysays:

I'm sorry, but Zombies deserve the same rights that you and I have - they can't help that they are zombies!!! Freedom and Justice for ALL!!!!

Narconon Arrowhead:

Thanks for sharing. Great post

naomie:

i love u Celine and keep it going u are the best we all love you*

rich:

"opiate of the masses."

Jeez.

Sarah:

You should know that this blog is one of the first sites to come up in a search for the terms, "harvard square" and "crazy people" (I was seeking a couple specific crazies). While I may not have found what I was looking for, I am digging your blog.

sarah:

this is gay

1minutefilmreview:

Wow!

sushiesque:

Oh, you're quite right. I did not read the fine, italic print.

Icarus does not give me great confidence in their products.

rick:

i'm pretty sure that the propellant is icarus.

Pippa:

A couple are driving home in the dark when the car breaks down, the husband decided to walk to a petrol station for help that was a few miles back, so he locked all the doors,windows and boot. On his return there was a stranger in the car and his wife was dead,there was no damage to the car at all.what happened?????

James Price:

Yeah I found this out the hard way. The people who work at the Library of Congress were none too nice about setting me straight. Most of the people that work there do not want to be bothered, I think. The people that registered me and got me my car (of which there were three) were super nice. But everyone else is either mean or indifferent. I shouldn't have even gotten the reader ID (which you supposedly need to even read anything at the LOC) because I've yet to be stopped and asked for it, even at the "researcher only" entrance! Weak.

semele:

Dear sushiesque - is there any way I can contact you offsite to ask for permission to use one of your photographs?

You can reach me at mirlac@yahoo.com

Thanks so much, and it's a terrific blog.

Kathleen:

Still attracting the crazies, huh? It's nice to know some things never change.

sushiesque:

Erin: I just wish I knew what I was up to.

Obo: Why are they on my doorstep?

obo:

They're fantasy sports league prizes.

Erin:

Clearly you are living a double life.

Jamie:

A man and woman go before a preacher in Pennsylvania to be married, but the preacher says,"I can't marry you two." Why?

sushiesque:

perhaps we could meet up there for a (possibly very cold) picnic?

1. no; I was with my parents, and they had their own agenda.

2. I couldn't find it, but I didn't look too hard. I do hope it has not been felled.

bonus: there was an unusual quantity of big green snails clinging to little rocks in freakish clumps.

Gabriel Mckee:

Awww, jealous-- I love Harkness. I rather want to go back there sometime soon. Two questions:
1. Did you go to Sarge's? I rather want to go back there, too. (It's where I bought my first Ace Doubles!)
2. Did you see the tree with the boob?

Gwynne:

I wish you were around all the time so you could document my meals. Well, that and cuz you're awesome.

saima:

can you answer this?

You have a chicken, a fox, and a sack of cornfeed how do you get across with a boat that holds 2 things only t a time.

It both baffling and flattering to see that the last year's long-overdue anti-zombie activism has been taken up by an entirely new group of protesters. It is especially heartening to see robots unite with humans to take a stand against this culture of death.

Despite being out of town for the duration of the event, I contributed some tidbits to the Zombie March 2007 post-post-mortem at Bostonist. Quotes from the community organizers of the undead came from a short email Q&A with the wonderful Halfwaytohuman folks, reproduced here without edits or corrections of any sort:

1. what did last year's lurching accomplish? what do you and you undead hordes hope to accomplish this saturday?

The impact of last year's march was really two-fold. 1- increased awareness: Bringing Zombies out in daylight for all to see really opened a lot of eyes to both the plight and delight of the local Zombie community. and 2 - increased beverage sales at The Cellar - long march = thirsty Zombies.

We expect that this year's efforts will be a first step to creating a global Zombie community - Zombie Marches Unite! That and boosting Chef Will's sales at the new upstairs restaurant The Garden at the Cellar. (note to Will: brains are usually a safe bet with this crowd, but we'll settle for your delicious burgers.)

2. if you do this every spring, the cops could stock up on chainsaws and be ready to fend you off. what is it about may that brings out the living dead?

I don't know if I like the tone of your chainsaw comment - we are cheaters of death by definition and WE HAVE COME TO EAT YOUR BRAINS! Oh and why May? I don't know. . . maybe it's the dead flowers becoming undead, or the smell of brains in the air. I personally died of Spring Fever, so this time of year is especially significant. Getting the community together to lurch just feels right; in my guts.

3. why are the undead so interested in camberville? they could just take malden and nobody would notice.

If a tree falls in Malden . . . who the hell cares? If you know anything about Zombies you will agree that it's not about who notices, it's about brains. And with MIT,Tufts, Harvard, and Leslie College in such close proximity, we are a privileged bunch to be feasting upon such delicacy.

4. why do zombies love breakdancing?

Arrrgg. Breakdancing. "Love" does not begin . . . the lurchy moves are so familiar, feel so good. That Zombies are naturals at breakdancing is a no brainer. Art imitates the undead, or the undead imitate art? I leave it to you.
