Works like this: I feed you Moon Nukers a straight line, and you hit me with a punch line in the comments.
Today, 4of7 of Little Worlds offers a challenge based on his latest Kevin Koastie cartoon (say… is that Kathleen Sebelius doing a cameo as The Librarian?):
If you were the leader of a group of Post-Apocalyptic survivors, what would you call the group, and what would be your rallying cry?
If you’re stuck for a name, try the Rock band name generator
Answer to both questions: Save The Cookies!”
If you were the leader of a group of Post-Apocalyptic survivors, what would you call the group, and what would be your rallying cry?
Cute Fluffy Kittens.
“You can’t herd cats!”
“Jimmy’s Junta”
“Potatoes”
4of7 nailed it already!
(Really, that cartoon rocks, 4of7.)
“The Zombies”, “BRAAAAAAAAINS!”
Everyone knows group settings in post-apocalyptia are dicey at best.
I’ll go it alone TYVM.
Koastie Guard

As an aside, regarding SHTF preparedness, I was shelf-stable before it was cool.
“The People’s Front of Judea”, “Splitters!”
The One-eyed Kings – “Can’t you see, can’t you see what these progressives been doin’ to me?”
Reavers! “Aaaarrrggghhh!”
The Vanilla Fudge
“Bang-Bang”
Browncoats – “We aim to misbehave”
The We Have Guns, Lots of Guns faction.
our motto would be “here’s bullets in your eye”
The “real” name we’d use I’d rather not post because it’s our family name. But our motto (we actually have a family crest with this motto in Latin on it) is “Guns, Land, Family – everything else is Communism”
The Knuckleheads!
“We Are Bulletproof”
“The Freedom Fighters”
“Get Off My Planet!”
Hell Cats
“Don’t tread on my tail”
Norse-by-Norsewest
I will be known as King Hrothgar Bloodlust.
“Let them eat lutefisk!”
Bitter Klingers
“Not so Fast–We’re still Furious”
We already have the name – Moon Nukers, and the rallying cry – “Nuke the moon!”
Jim: [who still has his popcorn and soda from the Chinese Theater] Where you headed, cowboy?
Bart: zzyzx’s zone.
Jim: zzyzx’s zone? I always wanted to go there.
Bart: Come on.
[Jim mounts up and they ride off into the sunset… in a limousine!]
The Cookie Monsters
Hey Nonny Nonny
I don’t know what the faction name would be but my motto would be:
“Give me Liberty or Give Me Head”.
(I saw that as a cartoon balloon in a history book I had in 7th grade – some witty student from the previous year had drawn it on a picture. It always cracked me up – especially as a 7th grader. Apparently I haven’t advanced much in humor since then.)
sic transit gloria mundi
just who is gloria?
The Loki Bastards
“Hey, we survived an apocalyse; how bad can anything else be?”
The Omega Men
“And Women, We Hope!”
@1,@21 Awwwww!!
I miss you guys too.
Cookies are little scarce these days.
But we’re making progress…
Finders Keepers
“Tough Darts, Pre-Apocalyptics!”
The Boys From Detroit
“Seriously, What’s Different?”
screen actors guild
WOLVERINES!
Greg’s Gargantuan Gallons O’FUN!!! (Rallying cry) HEY!! That country over THERE has BEER!! INVADE!!!!
grievers
“we grieve for the past,
wrong us and you will grieve in the future.”
The Untasty
“But seriously, zombies: Democrats Taste Like Chicken!”
The Dawg Warriors
Baptize the cats!
The Morlocks.
“Tastes like chicken.”
Sorry Oppo…I didn’t see yours
@35: But yours is better.
The Knights of Ni
“Iiiiiiiiiiiiissss”
The Rangers
“We live for the one, we die for the one” or alternatively, “Get the hell out of my galaxy!”
#3 – Jimmy,
Thanks!
This reminds me of a post that appeared here after the 2008 elections, when we debated the formation of the Republican Underground. (mottos, logos, etc.)
http://www.imao.us/index.php/2008/11/republican-underground/
By placing the Great S.N.A.F.U. in the 1990’s, I eliminated all that from my fictional time-line. (kind of like how they rewrote Star Trek history in that reboot movie by dropping a black hole on the planet Vulcan – a small price to pay for artistic freedom, I guess.)
Of course, I had to give everyone who reads the cartoon at least the hope that no matter how devastating the wars, that they might be among the survivors, and not only survivors, but founders of a new world order!
I think that’s why zombie movies are so popular – most people see themselves as survivors, not as zombies (sorry, can of spam!) 😉
PS: Harvey, no, that’s not Sebelius, but she Does end up ratting Kevin out to the cops! (Oops, Spoiler Alert!)
@38: Oh, wow, 4of7. I had forgotten about that Republican Underground post. Those were the days at IMAO… that’s for sure. Most of those people don’t comment here anymore. 🙁
#40: yeah, but there’s plenty of new people – I guess that makes us the “old guard” now!
Hey you kids! Get off my lawn!
