The Blob is a fitting metaphor for todays Federal Government. Eats up everything in it’s path.

No, Ditz! The foil is to protect you from mind reading and remote controlling microwaves being beamed at you by the (take your pick) FBI/CIA/NSA/Men In Black.
Some folks should not attempt a meme without adult supervision.

If they remake “The Blob,” Michael Moore can play the lead.

Two years ago I helped move the National Motorcycle Museum. I got to move several of Steve’s bikes including his Indian chopper that he named “The Blob”

Believe it or not, the song "The Blob" was one of the first successes for the songwriting team of Burt Bacharach and Hal David, who would have a string of hits in the 1960's.
The Five Blobs had the big hit, but the song was also waxed by the Zanies, a Los Angeles group, on the Dore label.

The development of The Blob as a monster, in science fiction, continued, with some interesting developments.
One of these was that The Blob, while itself simple, could to some extent change based on the complexity of the lifeforms it absorbed. Several authors pursued variations of this.
One took place on an alien planet. In this case, The Blob was a black liquid substance. It absorbed a scientist, then some of it reformed into a 10 foot high image of the scientist, with her knowledge and memories. No longer aggressive, this led to some interesting conversations with her former colleagues, including her ex boyfriend.
In a different story on a populated alien planet, The Blob took on Buddhist overtones. Older people would put a piece of this pinkish Blob on their skin, and it would slowly grow on them. During this process they would begin to psychically commune with all the other lifeforms, including people, The Blob had absorbed. Eventually, with a large part of their body covered with Blob, they would go into underground caves where most of The Blob lived, and their body would be totally consumed, yet their mind would remain in communion with all its other food.

The climax of "BlobFest" at the Colonial Theatre was a re-enactment of that scene, in which the audience runs out screaming and trying to escape The Blob I hope they left in a more orderly fashion this time.
