    Look at Unity!
    She’s so happy with her cup of poison..

      Three zombies walk into a bar. The bartender asks, “What’s your poison?”

      The zombies eat the bartender as the other patrons watch in horror. But that is only the beginning of the coming madness.

        Three zombies walk into a bar. The ruling revenant of Colma and These United States ducks.

      Turns out she likes poison, it’s just below food on the ladder of things she likes.

    *removes hat*

    Let us observe a moment of silence for the Emperor’s small drinks umbrella. It died bravely in its short, but distinguished, service.

    (TUNE: “Margaritaville”, Jimmy Buffet)

    Swamp’s just a baby!
    I’m thinking, maybe,
    People of Colma can give it some aid!
    With love we’ll fill it!
    But if we don’t kill it,
    What’ll we do with the toxins we made?

    Drinkin’ a fifty-gallon vat o’ chemicals …
    In a highball, with soda and ice!
    A small umbrella makes it real-ly look swell!
    But you know … this is gonna burn twice!

      (Because Margaritaville deserves a second verse)

      KT thinks it’s crazy
      But it’s just a baby
      But better us than A-sig, okay?
      So now the swamp can start evolving
      while our umbrellas are dissolving
      And then we can go on va-cay! (Cause…)

      Drinkin’ a fifty-gallon vat o’ chemicals…
      In a highball, with soda and ice!
      A small umbrella makes it real-ly look swell!
      But you know…this is gonna burn twice!

      So the umbrella is dissolving, oh, oh well…
      As you know… this is gonna burn twice.

    So, Unity might “like food better than [she] like[s] poison”, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t like poison.

      As far as Unity is concerned, poison is food

        Many poisons are effective preservatives. Something persistently important to the metabolically challenged.

    And the scary thing is that this actually makes sense in context! They’re loading up their respective bodies with herbicide, which may hold off the swamp long enough to talk to it.

      And here I was worried that passing through these ‘creatures’ wouldn’t neutralize the toxins.

    Well, you know what they say, if it burns going in . . .

    I like how they’re sitting down to Zombie drinks, and no-one has bothered to actually FEED THE SWAMP YET!
    Just saying: solve zombie problem first, zombie party second.

      Pretty sure that happened in the gutter between three and four

    While the song Little Drop of Poison plays in the background.

    Is it just me, or is the Emp drinking out of a turkey drumstick?

      Well, you know how it is on the left coast. You have a little toke before you start making glassware and the next thing you know, everything comes out looking like food.

    Heheh. Playing around in Shaenon’s back yard, of course fruity tropical drinks come up. 🙂

    Nice touch- the light from the glass shining through Unity’s hands makes them look green, not red. Also, I don’t think we’ve ever seen Unity drawn full-face before- it’s striking.

    I remember reading somewhere about immortal characters drinking poison for the fun of it. It shouldn’t surprise me that the undead would do the same…

    I think that might have been Michael Moorcock’s Dancers at the End of Time.

    Y’know, I feel for the Emperor. I was in a bar in the French Quarter, and darned if the same thing didn’t happen to the umbrella in my drink. The drink probably had a similar chemical makeup too.

    I really don’t remember much else . . .

      Ah, the humble hand grenade. It resembles a mixture of Mountain Dew and kerosene, not only in color and flavor, but in effect as well.

    What’s the betting Sweetheart did all the shouting and organizing to distribute the food, while Tip handled crowd control?
