[nadinbrzezinski]

2. Keep an eye for Occupiers for me

Camping in Marshall park. They had a protest march on Sunday and they're holding a Free Manning march as we speak.

23. There's a front page article on the Frsno Bee today

It details the flagging efforts of Occupy Fresno. I was sad to read this, but it's amazing that they've held out this long in this blood read part of California.

[Aerows]

First time I saw them I thought they were a joke.

[SoCalDem]

42. Original cokes in glass bottles were SIX ounces

and cost 5-cents...

Soft drinks served at lunch counters were probably no more than 8 oz..no free refills.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

47. I'd like to see them pull that with beer...

...remember when crushing a beer can was a big deal?

[leveymg]

33. Much more impressive swag then I have

ever received at the Consumer Electronics Show, and I've been going there as press for 15 years.

[SoapBox]

36. This is so cool...

I can watch the actions on the idiot box but I feel like I've got two friends that on the "inside".

Thank you guys for giving us what will most likely be, a WHOLE different perspective.

[calimary]

37. LOVE IT! Love these! Make sure to collect those souvenirs!

They're such fun! That's part of the fun anyway!

[Shampoobra]

38. They gave you the "We Make It Possible" sign so you could...

...hold it proudly for the camera, not throw it on the bed with the rest of the freebees

[tblue37]

39. Got swag--now let's see some SWAGGER! nt

[Cha]

[font color=blue][font size=21pts] WE MAKE IT POSSIBLE[/font]

THANKS FOR BEING THERE FOR US!!

[A HERETIC I AM]

43. Will you guys PLEASE STOP FUCKING AROUND AND GET ON STAGE ALREADY?!?

God dammit.......we send you down there with specific instructions and what do you do? Collect swag and sit in the hallways playing Angry Birds on your laptop.

For fucks sake.


When you get up there, I expect a Monty Python reference, as well as a plug for public breastfeeding, the Olive Garden, circumcision, the Unrec feature, Pit Bulls, how much Democrats like guns and driving in the left lane.


Now....stop your poncing about AND GET ON WITH IT.



fuuuuuuck.

[RT_Fanatic]
