“CAN YOU DIG IT?!.” This is the rousing battle cry that set the zombie horde loose on the populace.
As some of you are aware, this little Dokugian has been geared up all month in anticipation of this year’s Columbus Zombie Walk! Our intrepid and decomposing leader was hoping to collect 1/2 ton of food for the Mid-Ohio Food Bank, but alas even though we were 300 zombies strong, we only managed to collect 1/4th ton. But on a good note, that is a new record of attendance for it being only our 3rd year.
There were quite a few “themed” zombies; a Starfleet red shirt, several brides, a “mombie” zombie, a pregnant zombie (made even more disturbing by the baby doll's arm reaching out of her stomach), a gaggle of cute zombified kids, a couple of dogs (including one that “played dead “ when shot by a S.T.A.R.S hunter), a politician couple, a stilt walker zombie, a “Suzie Homemaker/Bettie Crocker” in a poofy short dress and then there was us.
I was dressed as a old time diner waitress, complete with coffee pot in my hand and pencil in my hair. My hubby, JC (short for Joseph) wore a sandwich board, which was a treat for the eyes and brain. BRAAAAAAAINSSSSS!!!!!! *giggle*
He loaded the sandwich “chalkboard” with inside jokes for zombie fans and anyone who used to watch old Warner Bros cartoons. A group of "over-50s" applauded him as he passed for the Eat at Joe's sign, since this is also an old black-and-white reference as well. Ahhh, I love old time radio and tv.
The front of the board says:
Eat at Joe’s (with a big bloody handprint smearing over “at” and the ’s)

Me againz! Behind me in the checkered dress is the “Suzie Homemaker/Bettie Crocker” chick! She had a big bowl of blood and a big mixing spoon she dipped in it to "take a taste".
