I apologize for being too damn serious.
Actually, it was those red-caped vampires from the Workers World Party that sucked the sense of humor out of me.
Since it's Halloween and I haven't had my candy fix today, let me relate one amusing incident that happened after our Reclaim the Streets party last weekend. After the cops had cleared us off the street we had occupied for over 1 1/2 hours, a bunch of us returned to a street corner near the cops, where we proceeded to give them all kinds of flack. Max, the anarchist squatter and street medic, loudly suggested that we form a "zombie bloc."
He started the chant:
"What do we want?"
"BRAINS!"
"When do we want them?
"BRAINS!"
Our attempt to channel brains for the cops failed, because a short time later they attacked us.
