At Large / Breaking News Yesterday in Victoria

Posted by on Sun, Oct 2, 2011 at 10:50 AM

Zombies marched on the parliament building. There was a cocktail conference. And topiary.

Unlike the few hundred other zombies, who took smoke breaks and played hacky sack, the young girl on the right stayed in character the whole time.

I'd be careful about the photos with Cuban rum -- it's a felony for you to buy it, even in another country where it's legal. You could be liable for fines of up to $250,000 and ten years in prison. What a fucking joke, eh? And, yes, I have Facebook pics of me with a bottle of Havana Club in my hand, so I'm a hypocrite.

Aren't zombies over yet?

The young girl who stayed in character looks like the young girl in The Art of Noise's video for "Closer to the Edit."

It clearly states in the Zombie Handbook that hacky sack is forbidden.
