Poll question: I wanna be a patriot! So what should I buy today?
A))
a t-shirt reading "Bring back our jobs!"


B))
a condom - it may prevent new shoppers from being made, but they say real patriots are spending money. They can't have it all. As we all know, it's the proper symbol of the republican party (it shields pricks and everything else that joke says...)

C))
A tank of gasoline. To pay for the driving trips I made yesterday.

D))
All of the above.

E))
Other

2. buy a cartload of stuff you that don't need at walmart
make sure you drive to walmart in your SUV loaded with ribbon magnets that say you support war and a "christian fish" decal next to your NRA bumper stickers. go to a walmart in a different city so you use up as much gas as possible.

6. It's cold out, let your car warm up for at least 15 minutes.
Buy something disposable. And don't forget that book by your favorite conservative author telling the world how "liberals" are ruining the country. Oh, I guess that would cover the disposable item.

3. I bought some dog treats and a chocolate bar.
And lunch at a mexican place.

I don't know if I'm really in the right spirit for this poll.

5. Get a massage!
I took my in-laws to the salon for massages and manicures today instead of them dragging me to some mall or big box store. If they only knew the masseuse is a major liberal! Hee, hee! :D

7. Nix on the condom Hypnotoad

I'm pretty sure most people here would give you the thumbs up if you decided to reproduce. (Not that you need anyone's permission...) Liberals generally tend to make more liberals.

PS: KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!

9. How about some "MeanJeanWare?"
(A red, white and blue sweatshirt with fake gold stars worn as a dress . . . and don't forget the patriotic scrunchy.)

10. Some suggestions...
*Items for your local food drive.
*Warm clothing (Polartec, maybe?) to wear or give away.
*Gift items for poor families in the community.
*UNICEF cards to send to your nearest and dearest (or farthest-flung) relatives and friends.
*A CD by an artist on an independent label.
*A book at an independent bookstore.
*Movie tickets (take a friend or family member).

13. a German pistol or sniper rifle.
SIG makes some good ones. That is such a patriotic move that the Department of Homeland Security bought 800,000 for their employees rather than buying American.:)

15. I had this magnetic draw to go shopping as soon as I woke up today.
Edited on Fri Nov-25-05 05:52 PM by OmmmSweetOmmm
I made a very hard, conscious effort not to. I did not succumb.

I wonder if it was the mindset of the collective that kept whispering to me, tantalizing, trying to seduce me to shop, shop, shop, shop................................
