You asked for it, you got it!!!!
Stoaty is proud to announce that the first round of ZOMBIE REAGAN!!! gear is available at her Zazzle store!!!
(Can you tell I'm excited? I'm bouncing up and down in my chair like a little monkey while I'm typing this.)
Hopefully on its way - Zombie Reagan stamps. Those have to go through an approval process, so we'll have an idea of which side of the aisle Zazzle falls on if they're rejected. It's not like it's nude pictures of alexthechick, after all...
Update: Zazzle turned down the postage stamps, "Design incorporates the name or likeness of a current or former world
leader or politician, or a local, regional, national or international
leader, religious figurehead, or politician." which apparently was in their guidelines but Stoaty was hoping they'd get sloppy. I don't see any Obama stamps, so at least they're consistent.

I heard if you lick the stamps, it's more than 50-50 the retrovirus goes active though. So be careful out there: and use wet sponges. Oh. And make sure to send your Lefty friends a book of the stamps ...a gift that will keep on giving.

OT: but chortling, Alice over that thread on GOP activism a couple of weeks back. I've been pushing that TCOT report on NY23 to all and sundry in comments since, and a day after I comment in a Dan Reihl post (about Newt), Dan apparently runs with it. And it seems to be gaining traction. Ha!

This would give states a great opportunity to cooperate on the issue by quickly fashioning a World Zombie Organization (WZO) that would codify and promnulgate rules on how to deal with zombies. Alas, the effectiveness of the WZO would be uncertain. If the zombies had standing and appealed any WZO decision to wipe them out, we could be talking about an 18-month window when zombies could run amok without any effective regulation whatsoever. Fortunately, the United States would likely respond by creating the North American F*** Zombies Agreement -- or NAFZA -- to handle the problem regionally.
I really really want a NAFZA shirt now. Oh and the comments are fantastic as well.
the American approach of "die, motherf***ers, die!!" Oh, and British beef would once again be banned as a matter of principle.
I love that part

As a veteran of "Dawn of the Dead" (1977) I can say with reasonable certainty that those of the Italian School would be eaten first.

My first thought was, "I'm pretty sure Obama would want to negotiate with the zombies... find out why they hate us." Then I realized that was unfair. He'd simply continue to follow George Bush's zombie policies and take credit for any success and blame Bush for any failings. Jimmy CARTER would try negotiating with the zombies. And you know what? He'd be our best, most uneaten representative. He has nothing they want.

Zombieland review
Go see it. Now. It's only 81 minutes, but not a single one of those was boring, including the opening credits, which includes pasties. Well, the post-end credits thingy was kinda lame, but you don't really have to hang around for that if you don't want to. And the end credits were unexciting.
I have a new crush on Woody Harrelson. I'm sure I wouldn't be able to stand him in real life. And I don't normally find blond men attractive. But the dude knows how to swing a baseball bat.
More than that, I'm getting into spoilerland. Just go see it now. I saw a matinee, it would have been worth full price.

Damn it ... I, uh, "accidentally" blew all my vacation money before we took advantage of grandparent-babysitting. I meant to go see that while we were in St. Louis, too.

Would any of the male St Louis morons care to take a redheaded gal who posts scantily clad pictures of herself on Teh Intarwebs to a movie? Or have you already left St Louis?

Loved it! Lived up to and surpassed expectations. And yeah, I have never had a thing for Woody Harrelson, but damn, he is appealing in this.

Yep, I loved me every single minute of Zombieland too. We saw it last weekend and the theater was pretty active throughout the movie-plenty of cheering, lots of laughter, even a good deal of applause at the end of the movie. And as a Caddyshack fan, I even got a bonus chuckle out of the bit at the end. Two thumbs up!

Oooh!
Still thinking one of the new characters is modeled after a particular commenter over at the Head Moron's, but the commenter is prettier. From EvilAvatar.
Is anyone else wondering if you can use the chainsaw and the machete at the same time?! How awesome would that be?!

Ace is not a fat, black guy!
Still on the fence about this one. I like and still play the original L4D, but they still have not addressed some bugs and I doubt they will do so now that L4D2 is about to be released. We'll see...

They claim they're going to continue to release DLCs for the original game. To quote a very wise man, "We'll see..."
OK, that was a little too ass-kissy.

Crash Course was meh. I'm waiting for the 4v4 matchmaking they said would be included in the June patch! I think it's safe to say we'll never see that now.
This game has to be truly spectacular and truly bug-free for me to buy.

When the Imperial prison barge Purge–temporary home to five hundred of the galaxy’s most ruthless killers, rebels, scoundrels, and thieves–breaks down in a distant, uninhabited part of space, its only hope appears to lie with a Star Destroyer found drifting, derelict, and seemingly abandoned. But when a boarding party from the Purge is sent to scavenge for parts, only half of them come back–bringing with them a horrific disease so lethal that within hours nearly all aboard the Purge die in ways too hideous to imagine.
And death is only the beginning.
The Purge’s half-dozen survivors–two teenage brothers, a sadistic captain of the guards, a couple of rogue smugglers, and the chief medical officer, the lone woman on board–will do whatever it takes to stay alive. But nothing can prepare them for what lies waiting aboard the Star Destroyer amid its vast creaking emptiness that isn’t really empty at all. For the dead are rising: soulless, unstoppable, and unspeakably hungry.
