For those of you interested, my fictional spirit-guide protest began today. I'm taking a break just long enough to keep everyone informed of what's going on. This is a three part protest. Here is an update on the results of Part 1 (my IHOP sit-in protest) and Part 2 (my grocery store protest/boycott). Part 3 will be the football protests that will take place later today. I'll post the results in this thread as they happen.
Okay, I started my sit-in at the local International House of Pancakes at 8:30 because I slept late. I ordered the Harvest Grain and Nut pancakes because the three words in the name seems like it could represent farm workers, farms, and DU. I didn't have anyone to film it so here is the transcript.
Waitress: And how're you doing today?
Flippy: I'm having a protest.
Waitress: Well, bless your heart. What can I get for ya?
Flippy: Harvest Grain and Nut pancakes and some sausage if the hog was killed humanely.
Waitress: Honey, I'm pretty sure that a human killed the hog, but I'd just have to guess that hog didn't care for it much.
Flippy: I guess I better skip the sausage then. What about the eggs? Are they from free range chickens?
Waitress: Darlin' all I can tell ya is that they weren't free to us, and I doubt the folks we bought 'em from kept the chickens somewhere where they'd have to run 'em down.
Flippy: Man, this protesting is hard. I guess I'll skip the eggs too. What about the orange juice? Did it come from cheap labor?
Waitress: Now that I can answer. The orange juice came from oranges.
Flippy: I guess even if cheap labor did pick the oranges I'm helping them keep their jobs by buying it.
Waitress: There ya go!
Flippy: Okay. Orange juice with the pancakes.
Waitress: I'll have it right to ya and if ya need anything else just give me a holler.
After eating my breakfast during my sit-in I left a tip for the waitress and headed to the grocery store to continue protesting. The good news is that I did get some support at the IHOP. As I was leaving the waitress yelled to me, "Good luck with your little protesting thing now!"
Did I mention that I had made a sign to stick in my car window during my protesting quest? I took a piece of notebook paper and wrote "I want free shit" with a black magic marker. To show that I was on the same IQ level as DU I used college ruled notebook paper. The sign played a role in helping gain my first potential recruit at the end of my grocery store protest.
After leaving my IHOP sit-in I went straight to the local grocery store. This was a silent protest and boycott thing. For the silent protest part I wouldn't say anything to anyone except for the employees who are being trampled on by having to work for a living. For the boycott deal I absolutely refuse to buy anything that I didn't like. Asparagus falls in the boycott category. I also wanted to be progressive/liberal in my purchases. By this I mean that I wanted to buy things that would be progressive/liberal approved like organic stuff and free-range stuff. I was kind of scared after my difficulty in IHOP, but it turned out easier than I expected. First up was the eggs. I had concerns that our grocery store wouldn't have eggs from free-range chickens, but I was in luck. Every single carton had "GRADE A" on it. I figure if they got an "A" it had to be because they come from some well took care of chickens. I was also worried about finding milk from free-range cows. Again, I was surprised. Every single jug of milk had "pasteurized" on it. Surely that means that it came from cows that lived in a pasture. Though it is strange that they spelled pasturized wrong on all the milk jugs. I picked up some beer to only be used medicinally. This was a very easy choice since I'm trying to be progressive/liberal. I grabbed some Pete's Wicked Ale. You know how progressives/liberals love anything that is wicked, and this beer had "Wicked" right on the label. All in all, I think my grocery store protest went well. At first I thought that boycotting stuff that I didn't like would be somewhat nonsensical since I never bought those things anyway; however, not buying the things that I didn't like really gave me a sense of accomplishment. Like I was making a difference.
When I left the grocery store and headed to my car I noticed an uniformed police officer staring at my "I want free shit" sign. This worried me. I figured for sure that he was going to trump up some charges to arrest me. Since my protest was going so successfully I just knew that the local authorities were nervous. When I got to the car the conversation turned out better than I expected. The transcript is below.
Cop: Is this your vehicle?
Flippy: Yes sir, it is.
Cop: Your sign has profanity in it.
Flippy: Yes sir, it does.
Cop: Do you think that's wise? To have profanity in a place that young children can see it?
Flippy: I hadn't really thought of that. I could have said "I want free stuff" instead. I suppose I just got caught up in the moment. I apologize.
Cop: No problem. Just change it when you get a chance. Just out of curiosity, what "moment" did you get caught up in?
Flippy: I'm protesting.
Cop: Really? What are you protesting?
Flippy: Uh…I'm not sure.
Cop: Well, what do you hope to accomplish?
Flippy: Hmmm…I'm not really sure, but probably to get free shit…I mean stuff.
Cop: <chuckles> We all like free stuff. What gave you the idea to do this protest thing.
Flippy: Two things actually. The first was the massive handful of protesters in NYC.
Cop: What massive handful of protesters?
Flippy: You know. On Wall Street.
Cop: Someone is protesting on Wall Street?
Flippy: Yeah. They call themselves the 99% or something.
Cop: What are they doing?
Flippy: Well…as far as I can tell they're sitting around eating pizzas and playing on expensive laptops and smart phones while asking people to send them free stuff.
Cop: OH! You must mean the good for nothing, dirty hippies!
Flippy: Yeah! That's right.
Cop: You look like you've taken a bath plus you're hair doesn't need a good washing.
Flippy: Pardon?
Cop: <laughs a bit> You're a bit too clean for that bunch. Anyway, you said two things gave you the protesting idea. What was the other?
Flippy: DemocratUnderground.com
Cop: <laughs hard> I know that place. Those guys are great.
Flippy: You know the DemocratUnderground?
Cop: Yeah. We all love it at the station. We have to put up with so much stress that any humor is helpful. DemocratUnderground gives belly laughs by the truck load. We used to go to The Onion website until we stumbled on DemocratUnderground. Those guys are much better than the guys at The Onion.
Flippy: Especially since DU is real people and not parody like The Onion.
Cop: <stops laughing> Say what?
Flippy: The Onion is a parody website. DemocratUnderground is not.
Cop: You're joking. DemocratUnderground is not made up of comedians that are trying to make us laugh?
Flippy: Nope. They're being serious.
Cop: Damn! One of the other officers bet us $20 a piece that DU wasn't a parody website. That it was made up of lunatics.
Flippy: Too bad that I haven't got my delivery issues worked out or I could help you out.
Cop: What do you mean?
Flippy: I'm trying to work out a way to get supplies delivered to me for my protest. Every protest needs supplies in order to be completely successful. The members of DU, being good progressives/liberals/protesters, will be more than willing to send the supplies to me once I can have them delivered.
Cop: What kind of supplies?
Flippy: Just the standard stuff. One dollar bills on up to hundred dollar bills. Beer. Popcorn. You know, the protest essentials.
Cop: <laughing again> I'll tell you what, if you get the delivery issues worked out I'll join your protest. I'm sure all of the other police officers in town will also.
With that we shook hands and went our separate ways. I'm so proud. The police was once viewed as the enemy by the progressives/liberals, but I'm on the verge of converting the entire police force of a town. All I need is for DU to send those supplies.
I've got to get ready for the Georgia Tech/Maryland game. I'll let you know how that works out.

I wish I knew how to write computer programs...I'd make a vitual islamic suicide bomber and send him to the virtual Occupy Wall Street demontrations.
We need a MOO-hammed turbin/bomb/head smiley. I don't see how it could offend Moose-limbs since they have been using turbin head bombs lately to kill people. Talk about exploding heads....sheeesh.

NEW UPDATE!!!!
Before I get started I want to offer a best wishes and a prayer to the Maryland player that was hurt during the game.
Now that the Georgia Tech/Maryland game is over I have some good news and some bad news.
First, the good news. I figured that with thousands of people in the stadium this is where I could really make an impact. I was wearing a homemade T-shirt with "Protest Now! Demand Free Stuff!" on it. At first, I really wasn't sure what I should do since this was a place with so many people. I finally worked out a routine. Anytime Tech got a first down I'd yell "Protest Now!" and believe it or not, everyone would cheer. Anytime Tech made a good defensive play I'd yell "Demand Free Stuff!" and everyone would cheer. When Tech's offense made a good offensive play I'd yell "DemocratUnderground" and everyone would cheer. When Tech scored I'd yell "Do you want a revolution?" and the entire stadium would just cheer like crazy. The crowd was really supporting my protest. Just imagine how much more effective I could have been if I would have actually been at the stadium during the game instead of watching it on TV at the house. Think about it DU. If you would get the supplies to me I could go to the games and get even more support for our cause.
Now for the bad news. While changing the "I want free shit" sign I somehow scratched my hand. Then while protesting during the Tech/Maryland game the scratch began bothering me. I decided it would be best to treat it so I poured some beer on it as a disinfectant. During the course of treating the wound some of the beer accidentally spilled into my mouth somehow. Actually about four cans worth. I don't know if it's the beer, the scratch, or all my hard work protesting, but I'm feeling a little sleepy. I think that instead of protesting at the other football games that I'm just going to take a nap, but I'll be there in spirit for all you wonderful DUers.

Awesome.
A great caricature of the primitives!

Flippy is a GT fan? My opinion of you just went up several hundred notches.
I miss Junior's..."Dress two cheese, side!" Anyone who ever stepped foot into that iconic place on North Avenue knows of which I speak. The Varsity I don't miss nearly as much.
-
You crack me up. H5
-
Oh.
I thought "Tech" meant Virginia Tech.
Sorry.
-
Figured i would go ahead and jump in the deep end and respond to a post .. I read everyday just for some reason have not posted..
I was at that Georgia tech game, been a season ticket holder for 5 years .. i wondered why we kept cheering..
I wish that player well too ..
3 weeks from now we should start a occupy Bobby Dodd protest ..

To be honest I wasn't always a Ga Tech fan. I used to be a bigger UGA fan, but back in high school I was good friends with a guy whose dad had went to Tech. Naturally the friend was planning to go to Tech. All he talked about was Tech. He would often bring in copies of the student newspaper which I found to be very entertaining. Especially the issues that focused on UGA. He finally irritated me to the point that I started watching whenever a Tech game was on. I eventually warmed up to them. Now, since Paul Johnson has been there, I'd rather watch a Tech game than any other game.

That is SO going to go viral, and they are SO going to regret it. John Lewis finally spat upon for real. Only it was his own people. I know it was figuratively, but, nah, this will never see the light of day.
~Edited to say I forgot to give Flippy a H5

What's with the gay repeating of everything the announcer says? It's retarded and stupid, like something DU would think of.

Wow, that video is Summer's Eve factory level of douchebaggery right there. Nice lisp on the speaker there. It would have been ****ing hilarious had everyone imitated the lisp. To quote Dom Deluise in Blazing Saddles, "Sounds like steam escaping..."

Loving the protest Flippy, hope you're successful in getting free stuff. :lmao: H5.

Thanks guys. And GCBill I didn't have a clue what you were talking about with the "Mike Check" thing until I clicked your link. I somehow missed your Creepy bizzare chanting leftist (http://www.conservativecave.com/index.php/topic,65322.0/highlight,john%20lewis.html) post. I guess I was too busy with my own protest thingy. After clicking the link and reading your post about it I'm in awe.
Honestly, there are times I look back at some of the things that I post on here as FlippyDoo, and I think that I've crossed the crazy line and should really give up being a fictional spirit-guide. After watching the clip of those idiots in Atlanta I realize that I'm no where near the crazy line. Compared to them I'm not even sure that I'm close to the mentally disturbed line. Those guys are fruitier and loopier than a 10 gallon bowl of Fruit Loops.
I just wish that at election time that clip could be played over and over again on TV to show how great the liberals are.

Flippy, I think that with enough people seeing that link, it won't have to go to the LeftStream Media outlets . . .
BTW, I H5ed you for the description of your protest. Almost spat Pop-Tart all over the computer desk.

Excellent!

^^^ Agree!
That makes more sense than anything else I've read about the protests.

That repeating thing reminds me of kindergarten only the repeaters in ATL are not as bright or as wizened as your typical 5 year old. At about 1:30 Lewis looks over and says to his aide, "Them some crazy crackas. Get me the **** out of here!"
So many crotches, so few punches.
