LIVING PURPLE DEAD TERRORIZE CITY
RITE-AID CEMETERY - New Orleans has survived floods,plagues, politicians,
prohibitions, fanatical religous conservatives, and
even (so far) casino gambling. But now, a new
threat, perhaps the most fearful ever, menaces the
city: the walking corpses of laid-off former K&B
workers, the living purple dead.
In an attempt to lay the maroon marauders to rest, the
Mystick Corpse of Comatose will carry the tomb of Katz
and Besthoff on its parade float, topped by the statue
of Our Lady of K&B, crying purple tears as it makes
its way along the French Quarter route. A large
voodoo doll, representing the usurping Rite-Aid, will
also be carried along the way, hopefully representing
a final exorcism for the pitiable purple people.
The Living Purple Dead will make their zombie-like
stagger through the Quarter on Sat. night at 7pm.
Rumors abound, but so far the only known antidotes are
K&B ice cream, K&B liquor, and shopping exclusively at
locally-owned stores.
