Will be FReepin the FATMAN's movie in a couple hours!
I was glad to man the Carousel FReep from 12 to 4 today. Location was great. Alternating traffic flows. Constant procession of multi inhabited vehicles. Parking only 100 feet away. Lavatory and refreshment facilities same distance. Constant police and security patrols. Good choice Jon.
Response was excellent. I smiled and waved back to all the friendly smiles, waves, thumbs up, honks, fist pumps, shouts of 'Bush' etc. Answered a few "what's this all abouts". Just as fun was wishing a nice day to the few thumbs down, flipped birds, the 2 *you sucks*, 2 Kerry shouts, and one 10y.o. making the LOSER sign out her window.
All, and yes I said all, of the pedestrians that passed by, smiled and greeted. One fellow stood around for a few minutes observing, then remarked, "Boy, lots of response". I agreed. He stopped and waved again as he exited the nearby store tapping his pack of smokes. One gent about 20y.o. was rather enthusiastic from the passenger seat as his car passed by. About 5 minutes later he came walking up smiling. We chatted. He told me to keep up the good fight. Alas though, he couldn't sign my Conservative Party nominating petitions and darned if I didn't forget to bring registration forms.
About 3:40 the press shows up. Mr. Reporter had just come from viewing IT. He asked, I talked, he wrote. When he got to the inevitable "Did you see the movie?" I replied, "No sir, I don't need to step in dog sh%# to know it stinks." He chuckled and asked if he could change that to *dog crap* being a family show and all you know. You see he was on guard after I had amended one of my earlier statements and cautioned him not to take poetic license and add any words to my statement. I gave him contact information and answered his questions regarding PABAAH's protest scheduling then invited him back later today or during the weekend to meet up with Jon.
Said No and a traitor and his film and yeah that gave me a nice warm fuzzy feeling. Just wish I could of signed that kid up. Oh well, the seed was planted. Peace. Out.
