Octopus attended an Occupy rally yesterday, and here is my report. Top photo: She is 94 years old, a Connecticut Yankee now living in Vero Beach, and has a lot to say about the changes she has seen in her lifetime. Bottom photo: A gathering of newfound friends.
Yay! To all the octopyers! Haven't found any here in SoCal. But this IS Orange County, Calif., where I'm more likely to find people occupying banana trees.
That's a heartening report. Octopy it, dinopy it, possum-pie it, whatever. People and animals are certainly awakened to the ravages that have been done in the name of an idiot-philosophy that, in the long run, benefits only the brutal and the dishonest, not even necessarily "the rich."
I should report dutifully, however, that my neighbor down the waterhole a ways (yes, that saw-toothed oaf Baggasaurus Tex, always ready to rumble), thinks them OWSers is a bunch of scruffy radical hippies, yippies and flippies. He has been listening to FAUX NOISE and is convinced both that the movement is over, Rover AND that it's an ominous commie-pinko menace that's about to destroy the nation unless decent, red-blooded Americans put a stop to it pronto.
Dino, There are aberrant species in my habitat similar to your Baggasaurus Tex. Two species in particular have a kind of symbiotic relationship (I consider them as partners in crime). As soon as we put a Convict Cichlid in stripes and behind bars, along comes a Filefish to spring him. Ordinarily, we would eat them, but they taste kind of gamy.
Shaw, As my fellow Octopyers critters gathered at the intersection of Route 60 and 58th Street, there was heavy traffic passing by, and most cars honked and gave us a thumbs up. Most gratifying (despite what Fuchs News says).
I've been occupying message boards at sites I frequent. More and more people are joining in with right wing kook bashing. And I haven't been deleted yet so maybe we are the true silent majority.
We welcome civil discourse from all people but express no obligation to allow contributors and readers to be trolled. Any comment that sinks to the level of bigotry, defamation, personal insults, off-topic rants, and profanity will be deleted without notice.

ReplyDeleteIt's always a good time to ink a righty.
