This reminds me of that games shop in Woden where you walk past and smell body odour from the long haired, mid thirties virgins inside.

Virgins be gone…

Happily / Sadly (depending on your point of view) nerdy is the new little black dress.

Now if only that sort of attitude existed in the mid eighties… *sigh*

And Death rides a pale horse called Binky.

A Night Mare (two words) IS an undead horse.

And the favoured steed of the Death Knight.

I think a night mare (or Night Mare, same thing) is actually the horse one rides in dreams. It is a horse out of your control that takes you dreaming, not necessarily dead. It started as a word for incubus but merged with the English word for female horse. In Shakespeare we find ‘I will ride thee o’ nights like the mare’ (Henry IV Part 2) which shows the older notion of incubus beginning to merge with the idea of a horse.

I just don’t know where your definition comes from and would love to. I’m probably missing something really obvious. (Not the Bible I hope. Or World of Warfare.)

From Wiki:
A mare or nightmare (Proto-Germanic: *mar?n; Old English: mære; Old Norse: mara; German: Mahr; Dutch: nachtmerrie; Swedish: mara; Icelandic: mara; Faroese: mara; Danish: mare; Norwegian: mare/mara) is a spirit or goblin in Germanic folklore which rides on people’s chests while they sleep, bringing on bad dreams (or “nightmares”).

As a Pilkunnussija, I know little of the ways of a Hikikomori.

Given some previously expressed views that zombies are a craze that has passed its use-by date, this would be flogging a dead nightmare then?

I did have fun on a Melbourne tram last year, edging away from zombie commuters when I was in relatively good clothes; even that fake blood leaves those hard to shift stains. And don’t start me on the brains…

saw one of these through the Melbourne CBD a couple of years ago – looked like great fun!

I thought this was a regular occurrence in Civic on Friday and Saturday nights after 2am. Gore covered zombies shambling to the nearest taxi rank engaging in an orgiac feast of violence and destruction as they battle for the services of the only taxi in Canberra.
