I suck at blogging these days.
I’ll get better soon.
Until then… have some pictures.
And, my all time favorite…
I have never figured out why the guy in the background wants “More Butter.” Anyone have any ideas? And, is a pink shirt and shorts the standard uniform for prank protesters? That rules.

This is just freaking awesome.
Taking pictures with Christmas lights.
Cap’n Dyke’s Christian Gift Shop.
Gingerbread trailer. Awesome.
Tom Tommorrow says what I thought about the recently proposed Ron Paul Blimp.
Further proof that “Libertarian” is actually shorthand for “egomaniacal fuckwit,” the skeevy old crank that owns the Bunny Ranch in Nevada is fund raising for the Ron Paul Revolution.
Seriously, what the hell is wrong with Maureen Dowd?

I laughed my head off at the butter one. It’s just so weird!

guns and butter are the classic goods to use in economic trade off diagrams.
more butter means less guns. very subtle.

I’m kind of amazed that all those people managed to infilirate and hold up their signs without getting their asses kicked.
As someone already mentioned, the third one was rather clever. Especially since most of the other people at the protest/rally/whatever it was probably had no idea what it meant.

A-ha! The mystery is solved. Thanks!

you know, i have a b.a. in economics, and didn’t get the “more butter” reference until i read slycivilian’s comment. :sigh: the things one forgets in 25 years…

I didn’t even notice the butter sign—I was so busy looking at the manly men with their phallic signs all pointing up and stuff.
I like the second picture with the lady doing a double take at the guy’s “we are idiots” sign.

The beauty of the last picture is it’s symmetry.
— Dylan Mar 20, 01:05 PM #
Kactus—yeah, I named the file “phallic.jpg.” It’s really almost too much manly projection for one picture. It’s like Freudian Overload.

Hey! That top one was taken by my friend Duane at the Atlanta Pride Festival last summer! :D The guy in the pink shirt is a good friend of his.
Small world!

Fast forward to about 10 minutes in, when Rusty starts interviewing the crazy street preacher. Notice how said crazy street preacher fails to mention that they were shouting “AIDS ate your brain!!” and carrying signs about hell, damnation, and – you guessed it – AIDS.

I got the picture at Shakespeare’s Sister. I dunno where she got it. I just love the expression on his face.
And, holy COW! You guys actually had an encounter with the BALL! HA! I am impressed!

Tom and I did one at eckert’s in Denton, when they were not allowing the rape victim the morning after pill. HAWTALTA means Hello, and welcome to a long time ago on some raver forum Tom hits

Trust Tom to try for cool and rebellious, but end up needlessly obtuse.

Wow, the guy with the gun on his sign has reaaalllly long arms.
