Do we need a DU Raging Grannies Group?


Just not sure if there are 10 of us to kick it off? I know there's some wonderful groups already age appropriate. What say you? (This, of course, is not an official petition to Admin, just wondering :)

5. Great idea....we need help carrying our signs...LOL
Seriously, I was thinking of a "grandparent" aged DU Group. Is there a better framed name for the title of such a group? I was thinking Shitkicking Seniors, but also wanted the younger DUers to be able to come to us as a support system too.

Oh wait, maybe they would...LOL.

2. Would there be an age or grandchild requirement?
Would travel be involved?

6. Thinking at least 55-60 +
Older end of the Boomer generation :) ? :) And more pissed? And much more activisty?

Nah, I don't think gran/kids/neices/nephews should be a requirement, as long as one isn't raising them ?

3. Can we beat people up with our canes?
Will it be like Hell's Grannies where we get to push young people off the sidewalk and stuff? If so, I'm in.

10. Right! Stop that!
It's silly! It started off as a nice sketch about old ladies but now it's gotten all silly! ;)

13. 'These signs are pretty badly made.

8. You bet.....
Not many people remember me helping The Witch carry the DU Spirit sign during the DC Peace March last Sept. She was so sweet, I wanted to use it as a weapon !

I think Raging Grannies may be copyrighted, if we do this, we may have us another Group name to include the DU Grampies too.
