Cover your ears because I'm going to scream right now.

[EFerrari]

As you know, Brad Newsham and I and others have been doing performance art for impeachment here in San Francisco.

And, our local media is in lockdown. It's just infuriating. Do you know how hard it is to ignore 1200 people in one place in San Francisco? This isn't a big town. You'd pretty much have to blindfold yourself and hope you don't trip over us. :rant:

I've faxed, called and emailed the world and the world doesn't want to hear about it. Because my ex was in entertainment, I've promoted lots of different kinds of events and I have NEVER encountered such a big fat wall of silence. Ever.

So, the appearance is, Nancy Pelosi's district is just fine with the status quo -- and that's just not true of the progressive community here, not by a long shot. You can't throw a rock around here without hitting a really pissed off progressive. But, how would anyone know?

All I can think is, thank the FSM for the net. For Skinner, for you all, for David Swanson and Rob at OpEdNews. Because of you all, our Permanent Record will show that we didn't just sit back and let this happen.

Edit: We're at it again on Sunday @ 11 a.m. Details here: www.beachimpeach.org

[seemslikeadream]

1. I was wondering where all that screaming was coming from

you woke me up :hi:

[EFerrari]

6. Lol! Yep -- that was me!

:hi:

[Poiuyt]

2. Don't give up!

[EFerrari]

9. Not a chance but it is a little weird to be speaking into a vacuum.

WhatEVER. Onward.

[TomInTib]

3. I have been astounded by the total absence of coverage.

Effing surreal.

[EFerrari]

11. Isn't it? I filled the Great American Music Hall on a WEDNESDAY

got my guys on three radio shows and in Leah's column and all that.

We need to impeach a criminal? Shhhhhhhhhhhh -- there's a wine tasting in Pinole!

It's coming down to word of mouth. And I thank all those mouths in advance.

:shrug:

[Fredda Weinberg]

41. We proved the viablity of this concept long ago. Run w/it n/t

[EFerrari]

49. Lacing up my NIkes.

:)

[madamesilverspurs]

101. You want media attention?

Around these parts, all you have to do is put "FUCK BUSH!" in a college newspaper. You'll get attention, all right. Not bad if you don't mind tar and feathers...

[vanlassie]

141. You Need To Add Wine Tasting to the Protest!!!!

[EFerrari]

156. That's not a bad idea.

:hi:

[Richard Steele]

4. K&R

[EFerrari]

31. Thanks! I don't even want to talk to my reporter friends

because homicide is not my thing and I hate baloney sandwiches. :grr:

[Book Lover]

5. Your problem is that you're not protesting the Blue Angels

If only your beef were with the airmen and not the CiC: then that rag the Chron would be all over you folks.

[EFerrari]

12. Um, I was helping with that.

:rofl:

[Book Lover]

16. You are helping with the Daly resolution?

If so, thank you!

[EFerrari]

23. Shhh! Don't tell anyone that, either!

:hi:

[Book Lover]

24. Lips are zipped!

:hi:

[Breeze54]

7. What are you wanting to happen there?

How do you know people aren't supporting you ?

Maybe they go online and that's how they show their anger?

By signing petitions, calling reps., etc?

Thanks for all you are doing!!! :hug:

[EFerrari]

17. It's just strange because the images are so beautiful

and the events are so positive, and the story of how Brad made it happen is interesting.

Nope. Nada in print and even Peter Coyote is on the air wondering why we aren't in the streets for impeachment. We are!

I am SO grateful for the tubes.

:hug:

[Bluerthanblue]

8. i scream for you-

"great blimp Sfexpat!!"

you rock-
:hi:

[EFerrari]

26. That blimp was rented by the East Bay group

Impeach Bush Cheney.

They are WONDERFUL!

:toast:

[BrotherBuzz]

51. Lake Merritt Neighbors Organized for Peace?

If so, huzzah for them, they are a sterling group.

[EFerrari]

52. It was Impeach Bush_Cheney. They seem to be mostly

faculty, support staff and students at Berkeley. And they are tireless. :)

[Stardust]

121. Do you know how much it costs to rent a blimp?

[ourbluenation]

10. of all the cities, too. very curious. hey...

didya pick a small town to move to yet?

[EFerrari]

19. I hafta wait on that until after the impeachment.

:)

:hi:

22. okey dokey. if ya ever want a tour...

If I lived in your district I would write-in Cindy Sheehan on the Democratic ballot during the primary election.

15. I hear you sister!

it must be maddening!






I will be with you all in spirit!

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

37. ROFL I love that shot!!!! eom

[AuntPatsy]

18. At least there is the net to get the news out that people have had enough.

I wish I could have attended...

Thank you for the work you and all those like you do, not all of us can but maybe, just maybe one day the media might decide to go against those that pay their checks and give us the news we need to hear.

[EFerrari]

21. Our local media is a wholly owned subsidiary of Big Money --

Tech, Defense and so on. :shrug:

[AuntPatsy]

28. I understand that but surely those on the left are not without big funds? Sometimes

I don't understand why all three major networks are run by pretty much the same company politics even though we do get to hear Olberman and a few others, its almost as if those with by money are really not for whom they say they are.

[EFerrari]

35. What "left"? It looks like the "left" are protecting their chances

in the coming election.

[niyad]

25. darn--thought it was an echo of me screaming here in fundieville!

[EFerrari]

27. Dogs everywhere are hiding in closets!

:hi:

[renie408]

29. Cool balloon.

I can console myself that the reason progressives don't get much airtime around here is that I live in SC. At least I keep telling myself that it is a consolation.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

30. I have come to believe that the only way to get the attention

of the msm is to use a new tactic. Take the protest to their front door! Do it right in front of the T.V. station, the newspaper offices etc. Make sure they can't pretend they don't see you. Ocean Beach and Crissy field are great places for scenic backdrops but the front door of the media forces them to pay attention.

BTW, if you decide to do this, count me in. I too am fed up with the total news blackout of dissent by the corporate whore media.

[EFerrari]

38. I will talk to Brad about this -- dear Brad who always bears

the brunt of the $ outlay and takes it on faith that we will help make the rent later.

I'm also going to work on getting DUer David Swanson out here, and I'm thinking the Great American Music Hall will be my venue.

I hope you are coming out on 10/7. Brad is flipping like a pancake right now over registration -- but, that's his job. :)

:hi:

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

45. Yup. I've thought that a long, long time. Deliver dissent to the CM's doorstep.

Honestly, I believe if ALL ranges of dissent are ON THE MEDIA'S FRONT (and back, for that matter) STEPS,...it may prove to be the most effective means of getting our voices heard.

Just think, the permits may be a helluva' lot easier to acquire because no elected official (requiring absurd amounts of 'protection') would be involved. We could EASILY surround numerous outlets in every major city across the nation.

At the very least, trying a new plan may bring different results. Yes?

[truedelphi]

147. I am refusing to do any other marching protest,parade etc unless it is

Includes being involved with camping on the city media doorstep.

But I would think something as beautiful and different as Sfexpat's buddies' bodies spelling impeachment would have interested some one on the media. And the Crissy Field background was gorgeous.

[EFerrari]

155. I'm going to try to convince Brad to make a short film

because the images are beautiful. And there is tape of the impeachers putting the site together that is also great -- kids, toddlers, grandmas, bikers, surfers, Doggies for Impeachment. Brad pacing up and down about to discorporate from excitement. lol

[truedelphi]

164. PLS have him do that! I wanna see it! n/t

[Kurovski]

32. K&R.

Thank you, as always, dear sfexpat. :hug:

[EFerrari]

46. Thank you.

:hug:
:grouphug:

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

33. It feels good, doesn't it. Every now and again, I'll walk in the woods,...

,...away from all 'civilization' and let out a great big AAARRGGHHH #$@%!$#FUUUUUCKKK!!!!!!!!!,...

,....AND IT NEVER HAPPENED BECAUSE NO ONE HEARD ME!!!! :rofl:

Hey, listen,...you are not screaming into a vacuum. Honest. Your expression did not go unseen or unheard.

Sometimes, 'silence' is the greatest indication of acknowledgment.

:hug:

I'll tell you one thing that is an absolute certainty, I am impressed with your persistence and your ability to communicate and, most of all, with your passion. I'm grateful there are people, like you, putting themselves out there for the concern for all of us.

[porphyrian]

34. The revolution will not be televised.

;)

[EFerrari]

39. But, if I have any say, it will be STREAMED.

:)

[porphyrian]

43. Heh, good.

;)

[Fredda Weinberg]

40. Sure it iz ... we're providing the feed! Makes me proud of DU

How 'bout u?

[demnan]

36. Good God and what a beautiful job you've done

We in D.C. watch in admiration and awe at the stuff you guys have done. Also the Los Angeles Impeachment Center. Our group managed to get media coverage from one little newspaper in the D.C. area, the Alexandria Times, who interviewed our group, Virginians for Peace and Accountability, after we had a Town Hall Forum. We are also associated with a Silver Spring man who got arrested for selling IMPEACH HIM buttons. This guy got interviewed by a Washington Post Reporter, but very little else.

I and others share your frustration. I've just about given up on this whole project.

[EFerrari]

42. I've been following your letters, demnan.

Great job!

Thanks for listening to me whine. Up and at 'em, again.

:loveya:

[ismnotwasm]

44. K&R

[EFerrari]

50. Thank you.

[ismnotwasm]

66. thank YOU

(And another kick) I was born in San Francisco, left my heart there and all that.

Kind of a funny story--(Only kind of) I was doing cardio at the gym. I keep it at 165, which is age appropriate, but not that hard for me. My mind starts to wander, I'm listening to some heavy metal anti-bush music, and I start thinking about the fucker, and how he NEEDS to be impeached. (Although prison would be nice) Next thing I know, my heart rate is above 175, and the stupid machine pauses for my heart to recover. I wonder what my blood pressure was?

[Gregorian]

47. You make one of the most important points right now.

We're all so furious and so frustrated, and confused, because of the silencing.

Your example is so powerful. It's proof. And in the most progressive district in America, yet!

What we need to remember is that what we see is not what we are. It's distorted. People leaving DU over this stuff.

We have no voice. THEY own our media.

All I can say is thank you. We're on the same wavelength.

[EFerrari]

48. It feels like a monster sitting on my chest.

My hope is DUers will mobilize and send this out to their personal networks.

BECAUSE WE ARE NOT COOL WITH THIS IN NANCY'S DISTRICT. And, we will NOT shut up - regardless of the sellout media.

:mad:

[scorpiogirl]

53. I heard you loud and clear!

My hubbie and I will there Sunday!

:bounce:

[EFerrari]

55. Thank you! Please think who you can bring with you.

74. I emailed some friends and posted an announcement

on my town newspaper's online forum. Hopefully that'll help!

[EFerrari]

82. Hey, that's great!

:hi:

[Major Hogwash]

54. Wow! Right in her backyard! Good for you, sfexpat2000.

I wondered how you chose your nickname, but I was too shy to ask.

[EFerrari]

56. I had to be in HelLA for a few years -- that's the origin of the username.

lol

[babylonsister]

57. All your efforts aren't in vain; someone, besides us, is watching

and at least thinking about all you do. :hug:

[EFerrari]

58. If you have anyone here you can send this to, please do it.

We have this Cone of Silence to break out of. And, we will.

:toast:

[me b zola]

59. Are you up for an idea, even if it is a long shot?

Why don't we petition KO to use his 'Best Person in the World' to show the differnt impeachment & anti-war protests? Perhaps the KOEB would join in the effort.:shrug:

[EFerrari]

62. I've emailed the producers -- but they must get a brazillion emails

every day.

Maybe if other people emailed [email protected] it would have an effect. :shrug:

The real story here is, this district is up in arms and the media is refusing to cover it.

[tularetom]

60. Come out here to red(neck) California and fly that blimp

and I guarantee it'll be on the local action news from Fresburg.

(If some asshole doesn't take a shot at it first that is).

Glad to hear the folks from Berserkeley are still in the fight. I did two tours there in the sixties - one as an undergrad in 63-65 and one as an employee in the People's Park days. Most fun I ever had in my life.

Keep after Pelosi - she can't ignore ya forever.

:yourock:

[EFerrari]

63. LOL!, Are you trying to get me killed?!

Tom, if you know anyone that will come out with us, couldja please send them to the site?

They can slow us down but they can't kill us.

69. They will never shut us up. They are putting off the inevitable.

IMPEACH! INDICT! SAY GOODBYE, IT'S TIME TO GO.

Power to the Peaceful, right on!

these Impeach Events are NOT covered by local TV channels? Or pictures in the paper????

I wish I could be there on Sunday....my spirit will be.

84. Don't tell anyone! We wouldn't want anyone to know or get upset!

:shrug:

[femrap]

169. I lived in SF for many years....

I can't believe they have shut down its media...but of course, Pelosi reigns supreme. Damn. I have lots of ideas about what to do....but, most of them aren't very nice. Have a great time on Sunday...take care!

[lonestarnot]

78. That is tooooo way cool!

Do you have any fucking more?

[Jackpine Radical]

79. Why don't you see about getting coverage in the foreign press?

Really--there are 2 big stories here. The first is the protest itself, and the second is the blackout. Find a stringer for FAZ or the Guardian or something & just feed them the story. That way you get stories online that you can lik to, etc. & start pushing back here.

[EFerrari]

85. That's a good idea. I'm going to try it. n/t

[mod mom]

80. This whole time in history is so frustrating. I hope the "free" press can't sleep at night

for their role in the coup. Just think of 600,000 showing up in DC in sept '05 and not even KO covered it. And WTF about the entire election system-pretty much deafening silence.

I appreciate your efforts-we can't give up!

[EFerrari]

86. No, there's no giving up. n/t

[tom_paine]

81. This "lockdown" seems to be becoming very common in the Empire lately

One would expect such during the constant degeneration of the remnants of the Old American Republic, and it is amazing at how easily the Bushie Comrades have done this without using bettle-browed KGB Men standing behind people with drawn guns.

Yet, in a uniquely American way, the exact effect has occurred. Not just for your story, but for hundreds, thousands maybe, and many more nationally based and much more highly significant stories.

It is amazing, and yet is has become so commonplace as to be boring.

Was it always this way? Cronkite and Severeid and Murrow? I find it hard to believe, but in any totalitarian society, one never does know exactly what to believe and often everything is a lie.

Anyway, "lockdown" is a permanent feature now of Imperial Amerikan Infoganda.

[MrMickeysMom]

87. Heard about this on Malloy tonight!

My best to your continual efforts to get Madam Speaker to wake the fuck up.

Godamnit, this makes ME frustrated, and I'm on the other side of the country!

What? Give it up!

[MrMickeysMom]

92. Oh, you!

You subversives... you probably wrote an e-mail, which was fully read by MM. Should have had lots of hits to look at beachimpeach.org (hey, there's a chimp in the middle of that word!)

You go!

140. We've had some great characters in these parts.

[John Kerry VonErich]

142. Yeah

Joshua Norton is one of my favorite legends and a very interesting story. He was Gandhi before Gandhi came to flourishan. Like during the Chinatown riots, he bowed his head and said the Lord's Prayer in the middle of the riot zone until the riot ended. That is true courage.

He plugged it and gave some background.
Talked about eBaying Nancy Pelosi's seat on the copter.

[emlev]

106. This looks amazing! Here's how folks can get their kids to want to come:

in case the event itself isn't enough to be worth it to them. Right next to the place where this is happening is one of the very coolest places for kids in the Bay Area, Adventure Playground. It's a playground built largely by kids, and you can either play on what's already built or you can build more, or both. A very fun place to go before or after BI4. Highly recommended. Inspiring public space. If you don't have any kids with you and aren't a kid yourself, I recommend going by to take a look.

117. i'm planning on it!

[Irishonly]

109. I sent the information

If I have your permission I would like to post the info at a couple of groups. I did write to BBC and ask them to cover the grass root efforts in this country and specifically mentioned you. I figure it can't hurt and may help.

There's a small protest every Friday in Claremont. I have asked and asked for coverage and get ignored. Most of the people are retired church workers. Some marched with Dr. King, others have worked for peace all over the world. I am 54 and they consider me very young. It really makes me mad how much the press ignores.

[EFerrari]

112. Thank you, Irishonly!

It helps and we appreciate it!

I hope we get a continuous train of progressives through here. Maybe we can start holding bake sales for impeachment or, for a clue.

lol

[CoffeeCat]

111. I hear your frustration...

...Sfexpat, and I think you highlight a reality that our country faces.

Our current media is an arm of the government. Our media might not be
controlled by the government, but corporations and corporate interests
are tantamount to our Constitution and the interests of US citizens.

In effect, the government is barely criticized because the corporate
media masters are closely tied to the White House--which kow tows
to corporate handouts and legislation that enriches media moguls.

I applaud you for what you are doing. It's gutsy, it's essential and
it's effective. Even though the MSM isn't covering it, lots of people
see this. That's why these demonstrations are so critical. Many of us
sit in our houses and wonder why our neighbors aren't outraged, or we
wonder if others feel the same way about BushCo.

We need events such as this to bring people together and spark movements.

I truly believe that the only reason we don't have Vietnam-war-level outrage
is because people are not yet connected. Many people are outraged. Many
are fully away of the crime syndicate that is the BFEE. However, we are all
separate dots. Efforts like yours help people to feel connected, and
eventually we will all figure out how to connect those dots.

In the 60's, it was Woodstock. I believe that something new will happen, to
connect the dots that need to be connected today. I don't know what form that
event will eventually take, but trouble is brewing for this administration--and
your creative protests will help to bring people together.

Even though the MSM doesn't cover it as they should--your acts get people talking
and you create awareness.

Good job! You rock! :)

[EFerrari]

114. You are so right about connecting with each other.

We're isolated with only the corporate media telling us what we should think about our situation and about each other.

Enough of that. Pushing back isn't easy and it is frustrating but, it's essential.

DU, :toast:

Break a pencil on those midterms. :hug:

[petgoat]

119. 1200 Berkeleyites want Bush impeached? That's not news.

I hate to be negative, but that's how it is.

People spell out "impeach" on the beach? Marching bands
spell out words in football stadiums every week.

January was 1000 people. If that had been followed by
10,000, then 30,000, then 100,000--that would be news.

But doing the same tired stunt over and over and over
and expecting to get noticed for it doesn't make any sense.

[EFerrari]

125. Um, all the prior events were people here in Nancy's district

not in Berkeley. We moved to Berkeley this time to collaborate with a run for people. We call that "networking". And, Brad has never done the same thing twice. :)

I'm very comfortable to keep spelling it out for her until she gets it.

If it's any consolation, the rags like the Chronicle have to attend the yearly conference on journalism, and they all sit around and pout over the fact that each year another 22% of their readers have left them for the internet.

They CANNOT figure out why - so they do things like inter-link their cooking recipes with a Chronicle web page or two full of cooking recipes.

In the last four or five years - MSM newspapers have lost as much as 70% of their readership.

[nadinbrzezinski]

122. Have you contacted Ray Taliafero and Bernie Ward?

I doubt those two would remain silent, if you know what I mean

[The Doctor.]

123. These idiots don't fully appreciate the fire they're playing with.

They seem to think that control of the media and a few internment camps are going to keep their heads on their shoulders.

[Swamp Rat]

131. It won't help them at all in the end.

:evilgrin:

[Stardust]

124. Your kind assurance that even the shyest among us is serving a purpose,

keeping the truth alive and dealing with this monster the best way we know how. Maybe we've been naive but we weren't exactly schooled in the seven signs that your government is evil and out of control.And we haven't been trained in how to deal with it if it looks like we truly have devolved into fascism with no clearcut way to start reversing these policies. In the meantime, back at the Repug Corral, paranoia is battling it out with narcissism for supremacy. We've all read books, seen the movies and plays, listened to the music that tells the story of how an indomitable foe is ultimately felled by ... who? or what?
I'm so weary of this. I'm beginning to feel that I'm reading and re-Reading about the same outrage or atrocity over and over and over again.
And it isn't lightening up, either. The crimes and rape of our Constitution are not diminishing during this lame duck season.

Thank you so much for your BeachImpeach. I've always loved to gaze down on those sweet kindred souls' Kudos and kisses!

[EFerrari]

126. Thank you, sofedupwithBush.

I hope you get to change your user name soon!

:hi:

[Stardust]

129. Me, too!!! But I'm afraid I will forever be so fed up with Bush. He has

done indelible harm to our country and our self-respect.

[xchrom]

130. you've had a lot of encouragement here already --

and i wanna give you more!!!

scream -- but don't stop -- sounds like sex -- anyway ---

:woohoo: :applause: :woohoo:

[EFerrari]

159. I was trying to be louder than the Blue Angels!

lol

:hi:

[JTFrog]

132. I'm going to call my daughter about this today.

She works in Frisco and hosts a cable sports show. I noticed that there will be an area for the media next event. Maybe she can get a few extra cameras and faces there.

I'll also send her the link.


I hear you. And I'm screaming right here with you.

[EFerrari]

139. That would great. We might need them in the letter "h".

lol

:)

[JTFrog]

150. I talked to her this morning.

She'll be there! So she can be in the letter H and then send me the video, lol. I'm just glad she is willing to participate! I'm quite proud of her.

[EFerrari]

151. Excellent! People have a good time at Beach Impeach.

And you get to meet other local progressives and even chat with them while you're waiting for the chopper to get the shots we need. :)

[blondie58]

133. But... but San Francisco is so liberal

and the with the liberal media bias, how can they not be covering this? :sarcasm:

Way to go, though sfexpat2000!! Keep up the brave work.

[Maestro]

134. Keep it up!

In the end, the complicit MSM will be the ones with egg on its face! We hear you. :hi:

[liberal N proud]

135. Keep up the good work

The truth will set you free. It is just a matter of how long before it is clear.

:applause:

[Vidar]

136. The media be damned!. We appreciate your efforts, sfexpat2000.

[Torn_Scorned_Ignored]

143. It looks too much like a lark

or a flash mob action. The media is not going to cover it if; a)nobody get arrested, b)nobody is inconvenienced, c)nobody bleeds.

[EFerrari]

154. Maybe we could get one of our cops to arrest me or something.

They've been really cool at every event. They should just cut that out right now!

[Luminous Animal]

166. Does the press show up at all? (n/t)

[EFerrari]

167. Reuters took an okay pix and put it up last time. It feels like

our local media is being protective of Nancy (and of her patronage) right now. But, that's just my reading.

[alberg]

144. Money is the only way to get the message through to the Dems

My progressive friends and I have started to return every solicitation we get from non- responsive sections of the Democratic Party with the words "No $'s until Impeachment !!!" written in large red letters across the contribution request form. Perhaps a few hundred thousand of these showing up in the mailboxes of the Democratic leadership over the next few months will get their attention. Pass the word and let's see if we can get this to go viral. If they do the right thing and impeach, we can always double our contributions later on to make up for the "missing" money.

[EFerrari]

162. Welcome to DU, Al.

Right now, I'm sending back a notice that I'm donating to Dennis because he represents me on this issue.

[spiderpig]

149. I'm with you, sfxp2k!

The media are bought and paid for. No question.

I missed the 9/15 SF Beach Impeach because I was in DC marching from the White House to the Capitol. It would have gotten ZERO media coverage, except there were nearly 200 arrests.

I witnessed the entire thing. There were no threats on the part of the crowd. There was no violence. The "die-in" volunteers were holding pix of dead soldiers as they jumped over the barrier at the foot of the Capitol steps. They obediently held their hands out as they were cuffed and marched up to the apparent holding area at the top of the right-hand steps.

Soon there were people lined up across the walkway from the right to the left step.

Then the riot police appeared at the left and strode one step at a time while the crowd chanted the "Storm Troopers" theme from "Star Wars".

The buzz was that there would be no more arrests, and that they were waiting for the permit to expire at sunset to arrest anybody at the demonstration.

A guy in front of me who was knotting a bandana around his face said, "Ma'am - you know they've got mace pointed at you right now?"

I left. I needed my job and I'd promised my spouse I wouldn't try to get arrested.

When I returned to work at my "we're a big family" company, I was terminated.

Life in *'s Amerika. Never thought I'd see it in my lifetime.

[EFerrari]

153. How are you doing, catnapper?

What an awful thing to come home to. :(

Well, Mike Malloy and Thom Hartmann came through. BI4 is the first local event listed at Green 960 Radio -- the local AAR affiliate. I'm really grateful for that.

[truedelphi]

165. HOLY F&*KING Space Patouties. Were you fired because they found out about you

Protesting, or was your termination yet another company downsizing??

I think when THEY realized that many of us who did not love the NEW AMERICA being creating by THEM were not gonna leave it - they had our America leave us.

[CreekDog]

158. Remember when we had TWO newspapers

And we lost the better one.

Bah!

[EFerrari]

160. I don't know how the Chronicle stays afloat.

They've had to lay off so many people, it's amazing the paper gets out every day. :shrug:

[stimbox]

168. Scream louder, I can't hear you over the Blue Angels.

I hope they don't strafe us on Sunday.
