Kaddish For A Really Bad Idea

Well it seems that some people think they know better about using social networks for organizing a mass demo to stick it to the Man and the ruling classes than other people do. They shall go unmentioned, but they know who they are (the "Unmentionables").  So they, like, ganged up on your humble correspondent (mwahh), formed an alliance with all the "cool" dudes, and took some kind of a vote.

They pretty much forced me to send out a few retractions against my will.

I know you're thinking that it's totally unfair. Totally!

The Revolution was only, like, MY idea (I pretty much thought of it spontaneously) but, whatever. Some people (the Unmentionables) do  not have the capacity for vision and far-ranging thought, and really, they are to be pitied for this, not despised. So don't despise them, people. Just know that they are running the show, and so I will cave to their demands for now.

Accordingly, as instructed by the UMs, I have a few corrections to the last announcement to make  (under duress):

1.  While we will still all be gathering in the main square at 12 p.m. sharp, we will no longer be wearing T-shirts with bright orange bulleseyes on them for easy identification of one another. (If you get separated from the group, I guess you'll know who to blame).

2.  We will no longer be walking around waving water pistols as the symbol of our Movement.  Yes, I know it was a very instantly-recognizable symbol. But as per the above, I was out-voted.

3.    We will no longer be shouting at the police: "Ho Ho!  Hey Hey! Hit Me on the Head Today!" The UMs are girlie-men, and that's all there is to it.

4.    We will no longer run into oncoming traffic to prove our Fearlessness. Frankly, the UMs wouldn't recognize Fearlessness if it came up to them on the street, and kicked them in the teeth. On the other hand, if they saw Fear groveling in some alley, they'd give it it a friendly wave and a really big shout-out. Those guys are tight, I'm telling you. 

5.     And finally, we will not be painting our names and social security numbers on the sides of buses to prove our disdain for the system. Like, O.K. Some people are paranoid.  I get it.

Other than that, we're on as planned.

Let's make history.

BTW -- I hope you knew that thing about not bathing or wearing deodorant was a joke.

Spread the word.

Peace out.
