Is it actually possible to legally do a #zumwohl on Saturday before 7pm? Can one talk about the elections in any way whatsoever?

When you hear the contents of the #teapottapes, just remember that #HipstersForGoldsmith heard them, like, way before you did
Pfft. I own the Japanese tour bootleg on vinyl.

Meh. It's a shitty mastering job. Okay for a souvenir, I suppose.
The German "Original Teapot Tapes" on the Unbridled Power label is the best version.

Nor may you tweet about being sad (blue), envious (green), courageous (red) or indigenous. Don't mention theatre (act) or what Man U. might do. And only mention New Zealand sporting teams if they place second or worse.

But have you got the White Label?

Pah. Original acetate.

Original acetate.
Yeah, that's a fake. You'd know that if you'd been a fan for more than two weeks.
(Gosh, that sounds harsh, but some hipsters really do speak like that.) -
Bryan Bruce, the maker of the programme that screened on TV3 on Tuesday evening in the Inside NZ documentary slot, has set up a Facebook page to ask all candidates to declare that they will agree to cross party talks on child health after this weekend's coming election.

What's the difference between the ACT Party and zombies?
Zombies are vastly more popular...

Zombies are the walking dead, and ACT are dead men walking?
-
Zombies for the most part realise they are dead ...
-
Zombies are what they are; ACT denies its true zombie-hood.
-
Some zombies really really want to be associated real living things - eh?
-
People might be upset if zombies were annihilated.

One is a shambling, uncoordinated rabble.
No hang on... -
Slaughter and incineration are accepted responses to encountering a zombie.
Mathematical modelling shows that "a zombie outbreak is likely to lead to the collapse of civilisation, unless it is dealt with quickly. While aggressive quarantine may contain the epidemic, or a cure may lead to coexistence of humans and zombies, the most effective way to contain the rise of the undead is to hit hard and hit often.... it is imperative that zombies are dealt with quickly, or else we are all in a great deal of trouble." So not so much difference there.
-
So that's why ACT are always on about the "Brain Drain", they want to build one.

The viral spreading of the undead infection has never been convincing. Truly virulent infections are spread by the living - infections that kill you, and require you to be dead before you can spread them, can't infiltrate populations. The most dangerous viruses are the ones with a long infectious period before you show any signs. Zombieism strikes me as easily containable. Probably the only public measure needed would be to suggest that anyone infected should ask to be tied up, hand and foot, in the final stages of their death. That spares even the grossness of having to smash their heads postmortem. They could most likely get proper funerals, if a cure is not found.
Anti zombie combat is also quite easy. Only with massive weight of numbers are they any threat at all, and even then, finding a simple defensive line will enable even the most lightly armed defense to inflict 100% casualties. Climb to a vantage point, somewhere narrow if you have few numbers, and keep braining them until there's none left. There's no trick too simple to slaughter zombies, they just don't defend themselves.

I'm a fan of 2004's Dawn of the Dead.
Some of their zombies run, sneak around, jump on you from hidden places. But the zombies are still deterred by solid doors and walls.
Much better than George Romero's early efforts (though I still bow down to him as the master).
PS: Walking Dead Season 2 is well underway, for those who wish to go looking for it. A bit inward looking 5 episodes in, but shows good promise.

True, but the influenza virus doesn't chase you around the city on two legs, so it's swings and roundabouts.
