The last poster’s use of the word “warrent” was a misspelling, I’ll warrant.

As for taking “potshots”, you can’t. What you **can** do is ‘defend yourself from harm or explicit intent to bodily injury’. That’s the ‘law’. I’m sure if some hippies got out of hand and started hucking bricks at you, you could fire a warning shot though . . .

Keep 'em coming! I just got an e-mail stating that I’m nuts! This must mean that we’re really pissing someone off enough to notice us!! We’re making headway, and we haven’t even started the offensive yet!! Tell your friends!!

I ain’t no culture Nazi. I just can’t stand idly by while kids are being enslaved by this brainwashing . . .

#9 is infact refering to O-Town, that pathetic Xerox copy of every other boy-band out there.

Will someone please take the protesters into custody? I’d like some practice honing my skills before we capture some of the members of the list.  
(It wouldn’t be sporting to “extract information” out here in the open. I’ll need some privacy) 😃

Agent 001 (Code name: Dragwyr) reporting, Sir.

I humbly submit the following for our Official Battle Hymn  
(Sung to the tune of the Marine’s Hymn):

From the halls of the Cecil Adams  
to the Straight Dope Message Board.

We will fight our battle very hard  
against the teeny bopper music hoard.

Britney Spears, Hanson, and N’ Sync,  
We must go and intervene.

So come join the teeming millions  
in the Fighting Corps Nineteen.

I want to enlist under Captain red\_dragon.

My Qualifications:

I was trained in the British Secret Service as a sniper.

I have taken down exactly one hundred and eleven targets in my career, both military and political.

I have never failed to complete a mission.

I was part of an Army Special Forces that trained me in the use of explosives and incendiary devices. (You’d be amazed at what we can do with ordinary Morning Glory sparklers and a couple of toilet paper rolls.)

Being forced to listen to pop music on the radio nearly every day at my job has left me with a deep-seated and heartfelt hatred towards all ten of our prime targets.

I am not averse to taking on additional pop targets should the opportunity arise.

Sign me up!

Ssskuggiii and her insane ability to confuse and bewitch young idiotic preformers repeorting for duty. I seduce, bewitch, confuse, and leave many a preformer powerless to my whims. I’d like to request a position under Monster104 or Iampunha, whichever is most appropriate.

And if you need it, I can be on suicide squad. [“suicide squad, attack!”]

Yeah… what the heck. Sign me up. Preferably some sort of an intelligence, transmissions intercepting and code breaking sort of position?

As qualifications, I’ll note that I’ve been analyzing that “Oops I did it again” song, and if played upside down and backwards at 1/2 normal speed it plainly and clearly contains an homage to Menudo… we must stop the madness.

Like I said: Brainwashing of our youth. We must take immediate drastic measures before our brainwashed and hypnotized youth turn on us. I recommend a full strike of non-stop classic rock sound tracks including Stevie Ray Vaughn, ZZ Top, Steppenwolf, and of course, the Beatles.

We need the really heavy stuff.
