Blacklisted?

Kinda makes you think that soon the acronym UAW will be standing for U ain't workin'

When I was still living in Flint, MI (home of the auto union and Michael 'the Hutt' Moore) There was a non-union grocery store chain. The local grocery workers union decided to boycott it because it was making them look bad in front of their union brothers.

The funny thing was that they had to run an ad in the newspaper to hire people for the "boycott" because they couldn't get their own members to do it. I knew several students who made good money by 'walking the line'.

A boycott is true democracy in action. If you don't like a place, you simply don't shop there.
I'm running a personal and somewhat limited boycott against China! I've stopped buying shoes made there. Anyone can join at any time. My slogan is "Buy American, unless it's Union-Made!"
Walking around with a sign is pure foolishness, be it a "picket line" or a "peace march". I don't know where it started, but it was stupid in the 60's and it's still stupid now. You know how a cat will fluff itself up to look bigger when it's scared? That's the same kind of "demonstration". And anyone who can add two plus two knows the cat isn't really any bigger.

What was funny as hell was the fact that they had to buy bodies to make it look legit.

In the end it looked like somebody shaved that particular cat.

Looks like I DID have it right about pretty much the entire cast and crew over a barrel to work for this blobulous cretin.

And Tagger's right.....the feces is about to impact the rotary ventilator.. ...Ruth should be running. ......NAAAHHhh.....stick around and watch the fun & fireworks.....I sure am...!

*fills 5 gallon bucket with popcorn and douses it with about 1Lb of melted butter. Sets up 10gal keg o' Long Island Ice Tea in ice tub with a tap mounted right on the chair arm....parks furry carcass and gets comfortable.......IT'S SHOW TIME*

*Something small drops onto the ground next to Sharuuk. When he turns to look at it, something like a small bucket crane lowers down into his popcorn and scoops up a bit of it. It returns to the rafters before he loses interest in the small rock that hit the ground and turns back. Up in the rafters, a certain ringtailed thief munches on his stolen popcorn and watches the chaos, sipping a root beer.*

Mmmm, good high quality butter. None of that artificial junk they use in the theaters. *munches and sips his drink* Hope there are explosions here... or at least a pig roast... in more ways than one...

[Sharuuk]

*S'aaruuks ears twitch slightly as the huge wolf becomes aware of a munching sound somewhere above his head. He closes his eys and tilts his head back just a bit pointing his nose upward. A couple of moments later a smile tugs at the corners of his mouth as he recognizes a familiar scent.....mixed with the aroma of fresh buttered popcorn.

Still without looking up, he hold his big tub up in one hand while making a downward motion with the other. A few seconds later the little bucket again lowers to scoop up some more of the buttery snack. Just as it's about to be retrieved it's ascent is stopped short by a massive hand catching it and holding it with only two fingers.

Only now does he look upward to the rafters and a perplexed SW trying to winch up his booty........releasing the prize, he smiles at his diminutive friend.....*

"Enjoy my friend......there's plenty more.....just send it down when you need a refill."

Heh. Guess I should know better than to snitch from a wolf your size. But at least we're good friends, and so long as I don't steal anything important to ya, you won't mind very much.

You mind letting it go? I can make this haul last a bit longer... provided you let me have it. My poor crane's motor isn't built for this kinda resistence...

Cardboard? I think I'd prefer armor plate - or if I could score it, Clan Elemental Armor...

Truth to tell, I'd like to watch this from a suitably safe distance.

Somewhere around the Triangulum Galaxy, say? Or Andromeda?

Heh.

Your not going to show off your new People skin hat?

[Labrusca]

Nice to see Tagger again, too. I've missed the little bark-biter.

That flimsy suit? Give me a Daishi or Kodiak modified for reactive armor, or at least extra Ferro-Fibrous Armor.
