Straight Dope Armed Insurrection Thread

::Casually kicks the hockey stick under the table as she helps herself to some punch::

Well, since about 5 armed camps have declared themselves, I’m officially offering my services up to the highest bidder.

My agent will take bids up to 15 minutes before the conflagration. Starting 15 afterwards, he will take bids for those wishing to buy my defection to another side.

God, I’m such a whore… And I love it!

being the non-violent sort,if there’s going to be a revolution, I’d rather just sit back in the lawnchair, at the top of the hill overlooking the gruesome battle that’s playing out down in the valley, and enjoy a bottle of single malt and maybe some nice chocolate chip cookies too!

We’ll take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week, but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major issues.

It worked great in Animal Farm, so it should work great here.

I dunno about my codpiece, gang…

That system actually looks like it would work on a small scale.

God, I’m getting politics from Monty Python …

Hey guys, what’s up? I heard there was punch and pie [sup]*ducks under flying cat[/sup]

I couldn’t find a gun, so I brought a couple of cans of spam. Nothing better for an armed revolution I say.

I noticed you guys were lacking a Stalin to Scylla’s Lenin. I would be more than happy to twist and corrupt the ideals of the soon to be established People’s Republic of SDMB[sup]tm[/sup]. I also think that this little insurrection needs to be a little more coordinated. I suggest a more uniform, umm, well, uniform. With all of these people in differing uniforms, and no uniforms, it get’s downright confusing as to whom I am supposed to hurl the next chunk of spam at.

The reign of the Oppressive Fascist Moderator Regieme[sup]tm[/sup] will fall, victory shall be ours! A new government, a fair and balanced government shall take their place. A government where people can be jerks, and treated as such!

Down with the Evil Regieme!

May our People’s Army topple the Oppressive Fascist Pigs!

Oh great, now you’ve just ticked off PETA. Nothing like a bunch of liberal arts college students with too much time on their hands to take notice of a new fad of Pig Toppling [sup]TM [/sup]

I’m working on a dictionary that should be useful for any member of the PLSDMB army.

hello? I heard there was juice and pie here? Where is the pie?

Comrades,

This revolution is too unfocused. We need a slogan (preferably catchy) that expresses our demands so that we can spread our glorious insurrection to other threads in our quest for a more just society. I suggest,

Give me Smilies or give me death!

That’s right! In addition to happy orthodox jewish man ;j , we demand “happy bozo,” “happy Pope,” (maybe not very useful but you gotta love that hat!) and other new smilies as proposed by the SDMB central revolutionary committee!

Viva La Smilie!

Well, since I haven’t been banned…

I thought I killed this thread.

Not intentionally, mind you. It just seems that way. This could be another of my “invisible” posts.

That’s why I volunteer for the stealth team.

I can sneak in anywhere, since I’m ignored wherever I go on the boards, and get the mission done without anyone being the wiser.

I’m as invisible as an Untouchable, stealthy as a Pak’Ma’Ra, and I could say almost anything in a post… but the reader would move on to, say, anything posted by FireUnderpantsBoobs.

I’m ready to fight!

One more thing…
