Inauguration day activities

[strawman]

Krispy Creme is giving away a free donut.

What else is going on tomorrow?

(Sorry for you non-USians, politics rears it ugly head again. Barack Obama is being sworn in as the 44th president of the USA tomorrow.)

I live 15-20 minutes out of DC. I am not leaving the house tomorrow for NOTHIN'. They're gonna have all the roads so backed up with traffic I'm just gonna sit inside and watch it on TV. Kinda sad, actually.

 

Working and streaming it live on the computer. I have no other real choice unless my boss lets me log in from home.

 

[Shannow]

Laughing at those out in the cold, while I watch it from a better view in a nice warm living room on television.

 

[GasBandit]

Unlike most obama voters, I actually have a job which requires my attendance (albeit not my full attention, obviously). Somebody somewhere in the building will probably tune it in on one of the TVs or stream it, and I may go have a look, but I doubt I'll be able to put up with the whole thing.

Unlike most conservatives I actually have a soul which requires-wait I sold that for a Kit Kat bar and two bags of skittles. Well damn there goes my point . . .

Anyway like any "Real American" who isn't just a sore loser or so hyper-partisan they can't recognize that it's still an amazing event and a source of national pride (any inauguration, but IMO especially Obama's) I'll be watching it on TV and delivering at least a small amount of respect to the office.

Edit: and also using your clever GIF to make people get dizzy and fall over, credit where credit's due.

That's right, him having brown skin completely negates what terrible consequences would normally have befallen us for electing a socialist freshly churned out from the chicago political machine who has spent his entire life seeking the company of communists, racists and radicals. :roll: Please. Go have your little party, and enjoy it while it lasts.

Gad, I love fresh meat. They never read where I'm from.

I'm right down the street from you. (Quite literally. I'm a town or two over.)
And I'm not going anywhere NEAR that mess.
I agree... Kinda sad.

I do get the day off for it though.... all teachers on all counties bordering DC seem to.

You know what Gas should do, don't you?

Here's a hint:

Agreed.

Yes, and the consequences for electing a dottering old fool who's half a heartbeat from death's door and his sidekick, Moosehunter Barbie are sooooo much better.

[spoiler:3g49ygnd]Who are you calling new meat? I've been around since the pre-halfpixel days, I just don't post much. I just always see the other lefties arguing with you and it seemed like fun.[/spoiler:3g49ygnd]

I got out of class tomorrow because everyone said they weren't showing up (although I'm a student, not a teacher).

You must be new.

Don't argue with gas bandit. He'll just drag you down to his level.

I hardly think McCain is a doddering old fool and Palin is not a Barbie. Barbies have more brains. They do have some things in common, though. Both rely on others to purchase their wardrobes, for instance.

 

[Espy]

Working and hoping for the best but expecting the worst.
Good luck Super O, you are gonna need it.

Only slightly less awful. As I often said, the choice in the final election was the choice of shooting ourselves or stabbing ourselves. Once the choice is made, we're still faced with what we've chosen, and only silly, shallow people see it as cause for jubilation.

I have a feeling there is a very dour table at a very dour bar where Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are getting really drunk and really pissed off.

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, who finally realize that we didn't elect them - not because they're black - but because they're fucking nutjobs.

Yeah, you're literally down the street from me. I take a left out of the lot and get on 1.

Well at least we can all agree that we're all much better off without them in the White House.

Sit at work and flip on the TV and watch with shame and dread the birth of the United Socialist Republik of Amerika :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

You can catch me at Varsity Grille a little ways off campus dining with a novel occasionally. Good food, and they let me read without bugging me too much. (I live alone, so I eat out by myself from time to time.) :aaahhh:


Also, it would appear that so far Milholland is right.

 

[Espy]

Heh. That's pretty good.

 

[Krisken]

Man, I knew I would enter this thread and just see a bunch of people who couldn't help but piss on someone else's parade.

Here, I took a picture of one of ya just to memorialize the occasion.

 

[General Fuzzy McBitty]

Oh, I'm happy with the way things are going, but Milholland nailed the reactions.

I have told this to girlfriends in the past, when they start getting themselves worked up in a tizzy about something that MIGHT happen: Why don't you complain about it after it's happened? At least, then, I have a 50% chance of not having to hear it.

Do what we can. Step right over here now... right there... there you go...

Gonna have HBO on all day (it's free tomorrow, incidentally, if you don't have it). Mostly in the background while I do other stuff.

Nah, you're safe. I wouldn't report that.

This actually is kind of blowing my mind right now! It's the same feeling I had when I figured out my sister's husband worked in the grocery store right beside my boyfriend's house for years and I wondered how many times they passed each other without ever knowing it!

Hehehehehe. Don't linger on it too much. I'm usually only out there if I'm getting food or taking the metro to the zoo.
It IS interesting how people can pass people they "know" without knowing though.
