That has a certain appeal, but I was thinking a red banner spreading over pictures of John Lennon and Groucho Marx, emblazoned “Marx and Lennon!”. But maybe we should include a picture of the Hellman’s guy and proclaim, [“Marx, Lennon and Mayo!”](http://corbisimages.com/stock-photo/rights-managed/42-17709936/chinese-communist-poster-with-karl-marx-vladimir) ---

Now the task is to identify the SDMB counterparts to those guys. Do we go by handle cutesiness or personality or some other aspect? I seem to recall a photo made at some bash held by or for mods that was posted here or at least linked to. Anybody else recall when and where that was? Maybe that’s Step One in the banner? ---

Did anyone bring drums for the drum circles? Because it’s not Occupy SDMB without a drum circle. I’d bring a drum, but all I have is an old oatmeal box. ---

I guess that answers that question. [Why does oatmeal come in cardboard cylinders, whereas other grain cereals come in boxes?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=632998) ---

I don’t have a case against any particular moderator (mostly because I don’t pay attention to names–I’m trying to get better!) but since this is “occupy SDMB” and apparently according to some I post more than my share here, I should probably be here. ---

I’m unemployed at the moment, so I might as well pitch my tent here. I’ll see what I can do about growing some straggly facial hair and an overgrown sense of entitlement. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/occupy-sdmb/604809.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/occupy-sdmb/604809.md?page=4)
