THE ALAMO vs. MEXICAN ZOMBIES!

NOTE: We were not trying to cause offense to any particular race, so up front, we’re not serious and we apologize to offended minorities, or majorities, who…uh, take offense. Especially Danish people.

People have been asking for updates for the past few days, and we finally have them. Pictures, and dare I say, a video, of the gingerbread creation. For your enjoyment, let’s go through the building process.

 EVERY year we have a picture of Liza trying to work with dough, and somebody else trying to distract her.

For this year’s gingerbread creation, we only made 4 batches of gingerbread, and only used 3 1/2. This is compared to last year’s Titanic, which used something like 10, and then the before, which used something up in the range of 35 to 40 batches. This gingerbread mix is not made to be eaten as we skimp on ginger, molasses, and any other ingredient meant only for taste. Plus, Liza had a cold and was coughing in the mix.

Look at how confused he looks. Hee hee hee!

There were only four of us this year working, because Neale was up in Davis and Keith decided he hates my guts. So the crew consisted of myself, Derek Webb, Taylor Weiss, and Liza Dally. Later on, Maddy and Ayse would show up and help out, Ayse helping with the cleaning up (which is why she gets a big star in my book, although she also made things much messier, which you’ll see later on). But, I’m supposed to give Keith a special thanks.Thanks Keith.

I put this picture in there to show the general lack of laziness that was present. I’ll be damned if I make this people look like they worked the whole time.

 

 I think there is a tradition to appear to be working…

Ayse came over to help paint mustaches onto the Mexican Zombies’ faces, which proved to the world once more that I’m good at telling people what to do, but not really good at actually doing anything. Ayse’s mustaches…brilliant. Mine looked bad. You could say I painted mustaches as well as I could grow them. OOOOOO! She then proceeded to get frisky with me and paint black on my face, and then I retaliated, and then the above montage happened.

They ground up gingerbread to make the ground (with a light sprinkling of cinnamon)

My favorite zombie Mexican. We call him Jorge, in honor of our not-so-Mexican-Mexican George.

Of course Santa and Jesus helped fight for the Alamo. I think it’s a chilling realization that their combined powers were no match for the Mexicans.

It’s a Dubak, from STAR WARS A NEW HOPE! Shut up.

 We do not endorse the eating of this gingerbread. We know what went into the batter. It’s not pretty.

This video took 5 hours to upload, and the first time there was an error after 90% of it was uploaded. So in total, this video took me 9 hours to upload. I hope it was worth it.
