Just thought that this was funny. I like the movies but I guess some people just take it a little too far. I wonder if the kid with the boomerang was there?

[spiffy]

Humungous has spoken!

[Fierce Allegiance]

Word of advice - DO NOT TRY TO CATCH THE BOOMERANG!

I wish people who clog the entrance to movie theatres in anticipation of new Star Wars movies in Jedi garb smelling of marijuana and stale pretzels would be arrested for obstructing their own opportunity to get a life. =/

lemme see, yer gonna surround an tanker full of highly flammable stuff and wave "machine guns" around like lunatics.

ain't noobody gonna get upset here is there? No panic.

these idiots are lucky they didn't meet up with the US army and a couple stingers. then again perhape staring down the muzzle of an M1 Abrahms would cause them to try thinking for a change.

[dmz]

You have an incredibly sensitive nose, that you can detect that the folks who reek of weed had been eating stale pretzels. I'm impressed.

[Calusa]

I think in just this one case they should stick to re-enacting the Rocky Horror Piture Show.

[Callahan]

Morons Beyond the Thunderdome.

Actually, that's pretty cool, if stupid. I knew a guy in college who was obsessed with Mad Max.

[guitfiddlist]

Absolutely idiotic self-centered morons. "Hey, we're like having fun. Who cares if they panicked because they took us seriously, whadda we care?"

Throw the book at the frikkin' losers.

[Sam's Army]

"Just walk away"

[Callahan]

They could always join the Marines and play the Road Warrior for real on the Iraqi highways. Did I mention the guy I knew who was obsessed with Mad Max was also a former Marine? Close as you can get.

[rabidralph]

Bad puppies!

I wonder if Xena was in the convoy?

[Callahan]

I re-enacted "Conan the Barbarian" the other day by donning a loin cloth and smashing my cubicle with a massive broadsword. Actually, I didn't, but I thought about it.

[Thrusher]

"There has been too much violence... too much pain. None here is without sin. But, I have an honorable compromise. Give me the gasoline and I'll spare your lives. Just walk away. I will give you safe passage in the wasteland ... Walk away and there will be an end to the horror ..."

[cripplecreek]

I'm the local pirate. I fly a jolly roger on the raft.


Sometimes I tell the wife to come about and prepare to be boarded.

[RebelBanker]

Was this kid in the convoy?

[randog]

One of the organizers of the convoy, Chris Fenner, said the arrests were unfair.

I wonder if Chris would think it was funny if I recreated 'Panic Room' at his house?

[massgopguy]

"Fake machine guns"? They're supposed to be cross-bows.
Now how'bout some Dinky-Dee?
