zombie defense initiative (ZDI)

Just what is the ZDI? We're a group of like minded individuals who realise the dangers presented by reanimated corpses. We enjoy classic and modern zombie movies and literature, and we have lengthly conversations that start with two questions: What if, and What Would I do?

Fact: 99.9997% of all college students are unprepared for a large scale zombie disaster
Fact: No federal funding is allocated towards a specialized zombie defense program
Fact: Preparation is the only provenly effective weapon against the undead

Can you honestly say you're ready for a zombie attack?

Learn the truth about decapitation, the effectiveness of fire, and the importance of a well thought out plan.

Join up with ZDI and form a local chapter. Figure out defense plans and evacuation routes from your dormitory. Assemble a crack team and start training. Study the ways of Bruce Campbell. Its not a question of if they'll rise. Its a question of when.

The Zombie Defense Initiative now has chapters at the following insitutions of higher learning:
ZDI-Boston University
ZDI-University Wisconsin-Madison
ZDI-Colby
ZDI-Fairfield University
ZDI-Central Connecticut State University
ZDI-State University of New York Potsdam
ZDI-State University of New York Binghamton
ZDI-Johns Hopkins University
ZDI-University of Pittsburgh
ZDI-Northeastern University
ZDI-Albion
ZDI-Wagner

Imitation

Someone that never quit putting the shit you had in your room as a kid in their room as an adult.

The bubbly girl put glow in the dark stars in her room like her brother had as a kid, thinking that she wouldn't end up by herself if she did that. She thought that glow in the dark stars made somebody a likeable person. Imitation was what drove all the other things in her life that money couldn't buy and power couldn't intimidate, it always had been.

Panpsychic Imitation Principle

The Panpsychic Imitation Principle, also Principle of Panpsychic Imitation is a panpsychist and extraphysicalist theory and hypothesis that holds that imitations of something tend to have the same panpsychicist and extraphysicalist properties of the original product, being able to reproduce the same properties of the original ones in the panpsychist and extraphysicalist way.

"The panpsychic imitation principle might explains why does crystals and imitations of crystals have the same spiritual properties of each other, but even the panpsychic imitation principle being correct, it's not reason to use crystal healing and similars, but to explain about several spiritual questions related to that."

screw that initiative

To bluntly refuse to start to do an action.

(To refuse to begin another action)

Should I try the French blend? Nah, screw that initiative. I'll go with my regular blend.

"We should go to the mall first." "Screw that initiative."

Imitation

Someone who goes around trying to reject people, to show them the pain of rejection they feel everyday.

The imitation got rejected so much of her life that she began to reject other people. She got bullied so much of her life, that she went out and got badass tattoos and tried to bully other people.
