Continuing the Honor Roll of Undead-Americans and Other Undead Role Models
Amelia Earhart
Buffy
Superman
Xena & Gabrielle
The Six Million Dollar Man
The Bionic Woman
Robocop
Note that I've expanded my definition of the Undead to include cyborgs, i.e. everyone with an artificial vital organ; actually, I'm including everyone who wears glasses or any other life-enhancing prosthesis, has no magazine subscriptions, and wears out-of-style clothes. You yourself my unwittingly be eligible for my Undead Honor Roll. I think the Undead Continuum can be roughly outlined as this:
|- LESS UNDEAD (MORE DEAD-DEAD) ---> MORE UNDEAD (MORE DEAD-BUT-LIVING) -|
|-Residual Floating Energy Presence ~ Bottle-genie ~ Patron Saint/ Spirit Guide/ Deified Dead Person ~ Poltergeist ~ Zombie ~ Vampire ~ Cyborg ~ Basic Standard Issue Geek ~ Librarian -|

Honoring Our Inspiring Undead-Americans and Their Role Models
For the next few days I'm going to try to make a list of Inspiring Undead for us to think about as we approach the Day of the Undead (Oct. 31) which is followed by All Saint's Day (the day to honor the Goody Two-Shoes Undead, aka Hallows -- the 31st is Hallow's Eve, or Hallowe'en), and then the Day of the Dead (those who may be eligible for the Undead roster if they play their cards right).
Here we go. Some of my Favorite Undead (see definition of Undead in yesterday's blog entry if you need to):
Buddha
Jesus
Elvis
Lazarus
Angel and Spike, Buffy's lovely boytoy Vamp camp-followers
the Virgin of Guadelupe
to be continued...
