Today on Flickr I found pictures of Portland, Maine's Third Annual Zombie Kickball event.

No, seriously.




My heart is full of love.

I think Zombie Dodgeball would be a better event.

Ooo, the poor masochistic zombies!

The thing is, while I think kicking a ball (or at least, having your leg where a ball is rolling) is within the capabilities of your average zombie, picking up and throwing a dodgeball is something only those highspeed ultra-feral ones can do, and they're much more likely to mistake it for a big kidney than throw it. So zombie vs. zombie dodgeball would look like two rows of participants staring at each other mindlessly.

You know, like human chess at KRF.

Just less smelly.

I was thinking more like Human v. Zombies... it'd a one-sided event, sure, but helluvalotta fun. :-D

D'aww! You just gotta love people sometimes :)

PS: Finally got my hands on Audio World War Z. It is indeed awesome.

Fabulous! Have I told you that my wife and I organize semi-regular pick-up kickball games throughout the spring, summer, and fall in Davis Square? You should come some time! I am taking this post as inspiration for a future theme.

Shameless plug: anyone can come...we even have a Facebook group: Camberville Kickball Enthusiasts

Neat. Do you know where in Portland it was held?
