The Zombie Apocalypse

[PhillyPhanInDC]

I've been procrastinating about running again and think I finally found the right motivation: http://runforyourlives.com/

Me and a few buddies are registered for that. Should be a ball.

This is different from people who dress up like Conan the Barbarian and chase each other around with PVC "swords" how?

[PhillyPhanInDC]

It's a 5k obstacle course with "zombies" thrown in. If they catch you, ala flag football, you ca. Chase other runners around. Obstacles are like what you would find in a zombie flick, get gas to a generator, create a distraction and escape, yada yada. It's around Halloween.

It isn't, but I like it, so farg you.

So basically, it's the same as a big live action D&D game.  In college the people who did this kind of thing called themselves The Society for Creative Anachronism or some such crap.  Had they only known that the market would be in zombie tag, they would be laughing off the haters now.

Wait one farging minute.  Beer?  Beer at a 5K event?  ITS THE ZOMBIES TRYING TO TRICK US PEOPLE.
They know even the laziest will come out for beer.

This is how it starts folks, don't get fooled. 

If you need me I'll be in the anti-zombie house.  Don't come over if you sprained your ankle on your 5K run, because if you are limping.................................

I'm going to start running today and if I can go a week without tearing my groin, I'm going to register.

It's not a straight 5K, the way I get it, you'll stop and start.

I'm going to commit to it then and try to meet up with you when it happens. I'm beyond caring about embarrassing myself anymore, so it will be fun either way.

Actually, there's a difference.  I've done D&D and LARPs (live action role playing), and that is just playing a game.  The SCA people are history freaks who spend hours researching backgrounds for their made up personas.  The ones I met from UPenn were pretty scary, even made their professors refer to them by their SCA names.

The only people who care or acknowledge a difference are the nerds who participate.

Duh.

Saw this on a truck on my way out of the gym this morning:

More proof that New Jersey is a stupid state.  You don't put daily restrictions on zombie killing.  It's good to know that when the Zombies strike, NJ will be the first state to be eradicated.
