They got it. They got the sink. Occupy is sunk.

[MannyGoldstein]

In stealth under cover of night, an obviously well-trained team of Boston’s Finest bravely liberated Occupy Boston’s sink.

Some folks might think a sink shouldn't cause such a stink! But sinks are more fearsome than many realize, and we owe a debt of gratitude to the BPD:

1. The sink could catch fire. I know that Boston is very concerned with fire, and assuming that the sink is fabricated from solid wood, magnesium, or various other materials, a spark could turn it into the the sink of doom in mere moments.

2. Sinks have legitimate purposes, but they are typically used as drug paraphernalia.

3. Sinks often contain water. More than 3,000 Americans drown each year, usually in water. A sink is a tragedy waiting to happen.

4. It’s not well known, but 100% of nuclear enrichment facilities contain sinks. I haven’t heard of any evidence that this particular sink was for making a nuclear weapon, but we don’t want a mushroom cloud to be the smoking gun, do we?

I hope this marks the beginning of the end of those darned Occupiers with sinks. Living a stone's throw from the Boston border, I know that I'll be sleeping soundly tonight for the first time in months with this sword of Damocles removed,

1. Praise the baby Bjesus that this scourge has been defeated "unplugged" as it were

[MFrohike]

2. Thanks for this

There's just something about wide-eyed sarcasm that always gets me.

[pinboy3niner]

3. Occupiers are changing twitter profile pics to #sinks in solidarity

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they take your #sink, then you win. #almost #OWS #OccupyBoston #occupythesink

[MannyGoldstein]

6. That sink pic is awesome!

May I borrow it?

[pinboy3niner]

9. Sure. It's not mine--it's from Occupy Boston

Help yourself.

[MannyGoldstein]

11. Cool! From the folks that lived to tell the tale. nt

[Fire Walk With Me]

18. I just uploaded that as my Twitter profile pic, thanks!

:rofl::hi:

[pinboy3niner]

4. Pigs support the plutocracy. Cops support the people they are

their to serve and protect.

[bighughdiehl]

5. So.....

Did they steal everything AND the kitchen sink...or JUST the kitchen sink?
Also, did they make sure there was no baby before they threw out the bathwater?

[MannyGoldstein]

7. The sink, the whole sink, and nothing but the sink.

Breathtaking precision.

[boston bean]

30. usually they take everything but the sink. nt

[Zorra]

8. Heck, they stole our whole kitchen at Occupy Phoenix a few nights ago.

Occupiers fell asleep, and the next thing they knew cops were taking it all away.

We were even feeding homeless folks out of it, but they had to work for the food by holding up signs on the street.

[MannyGoldstein]

15. Feeding homeless folks is bad

They are often unkempt and an eyesore; the 1% don't need to be distracted by that kind of thing, they need to focus, FOCUS, on grabbing more cash.

Apparently, it's best to let them fade away.

[Zorra]

28. So true.

I salute the brave people that serve and protect the 1% by shutting down the food sources of dirty radicals and homeless people.

Lock up the dumpsters!

[Bennyboy]

10. I LOL"d out loud. (NT)

[NYC_SKP]

12. I'm not an expert, but that looks a LOT like a TERRORIST sink, that does!!!

Could be Muslin, too!

:rofl:

[MannyGoldstein]

14. Could be detained indefinitely

without food or access to counsel.

[russspeakeasy]

39. That's funny..

[Huey P. Long]

13. Oh, but you are funny! -eom

[Fire Walk With Me]

16. globalrevolution livestream chat made sink jokes for more than six hours after the arrest...

...it was freaking hilarious at times, and wonderful in general.

We are the 99 persink! The whole world is washing!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

20. Interesting :)

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. On a very serious note

Occupy is making the cops look well... silly... which is good.

This is what street theater is all about

[tavalon]

24. Yes indeedy

Sinkum absurdem.

[jpak]

22. That ain't a sink - that's a bong

:D

[tavalon]

23. Aren't they just precious, saving all of us from the perils of Sink?

Sure they may be acting like pigs, but really, I think they're just jackasses.

[lonestarnot]

25. I'm sure it was an "alien" sink.

[pinboy3niner]

26. FREE THE SINK!

:rofl:

Thanks, Manny! :toast:

;-)
Funny post, Manny.
:thumbsup:

[Dover]

29. They threw out everything INCLUDING the kitchen sink...

Egads...we're sunk. :scared:

[Bjorn Against]

31. Wow, I notice the cop in the front is special operations

That must be one deadly sink, I hope they placed some snipers on the roof just in case.

[MannyGoldstein]

35. There was zero room for error

That sink could have caused a lot of casualties - they couldn't take any chances.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

34. Hope they applied the zip ties!!

good 'n tight! Teach that goldurn sink a lesson!

[Fantastic Anarchist]

36. Thanks for informing us ...

Pretty soon those godless sinks will turn us communists! That and flouride. I do believe they conspire!

[AlbertCat]

37. That was low

:nuke:

[bertman]

41. This thread has made my day. Now Occupy Boston needs to get a big commode

so we can REALLY have some fun.

Too late to REC, so here's a kick.

Thanks, Manny.

[lunatica]

43. There are times when I've encountered toxic kitchen sinks

Ones I definitely used rubber gloves to clean. No way I would put my unprotected hands on some of the stuff I've cleaned up in kitchens.
