"Occupy Yourself Movement on Oct 28th 2011"

THE DAY WHEN EVERYTHING FINALLY CHANGED! The DUmmies have had a number of these over the years. Somehow, though, whatever that day is, it comes and goes, and everything seems not to have changed all that much.

This time, however--THIS TIME--it will be different! This truly will be THE Day! Tomorrow, in fact! We will bring those corporate muthaf***as TO THEIR KNEES! They will BEG us for mercy! And will we give them any? NOOO! We will BURY you, you capitalist corporatist pigs!!

How, you ask? Simple. By not doing anything. But, you say, most DUmmies ALREADY do nothing. And you would be correct. However, this time, this Friday, we will do a LOT of nothing, more nothing than ever before. And that will show them, those dirty rotten corporations!

It's a movement! And if it's a movement, you KNOW it's important! As we see here in this THREAD, "Occupy Yourself Movement on Oct 28th 2011."

So let us now occupy ourselves with the DUmmies, in Bolshevik Red, while the commentary of your humble guest correspondent, Charles Henrickson, wondering if Wee Willie Pitt will be occupying himself by visiting his pal Scott "the Inspector" Ritter in prison, is in the [brackets]:

#Occupy Yourself Movement on Oct 28th 2011

[Why, that's tomorrow! Pray, tell us more . . .]

The Occupy movements around the country and the world are garnering overwhelming support from the general populace.

[99% of 1% of the general populace support it! W00t!]

While not everyone has the means to physically participate . . .

[Translation: While most of you progs are too lazy to get off your butts and get out there and stand with the protesters . . .]

there is much we can do on a collective level to help bring our point home to global corporate interests.

[And that "point" is. . . ? I'm not sure you have a point, actually, other than you don't like that some people make more money than you do and you don't like to pay for things.]

In this spirit, many of us seek non-violent ways of demonstrating our repulsion at the vast control these corporations have garnered while infringing on our civil rights as they wage their global destruction on all that is true and fair.

[ALL THAT IS TRUE AND FAIR! They're waging DESTRUCTION on it! GLOBAL destruction! Oh God! Oh Gaia! I WEEP as they DESTROY all that is true and fair! Somebody stop them!! . . . Wait! WE are the ones we have been waiting for! WE can stop them! Yes! For All That Is True and Fair!!!]

It is one thing to stand in a man’s front yard to demonstrate your dislike for his conduct . . .

[Or, like when you're smashed from drinking too much, you know, and you just gotta take a pee somewhere, so you go, like, stand in some random guy's front yard . . .]

but another thing altogether to refuse to participate in the system from which he gains his resources for power.

[DO NOTHING TO POWER!]

In this light, we have choosen a date for the following activities (or non-activity, as it were):

[DUNAC! DUNAC!]

1) A 24 hour television blackout where all participants willfully keep their tubes turned off.

[Tie your tubes! Just say no to those MSNBC corporate stooges like Sergeant Schultz, Lawrence of Insania, and Rachel Mancow!]

2) A 24 hour retail boycott . . .

[24 non-business hours.]

where all participants agree to refrain from buying any merchandise . . .

[Not One D*mn DUmmie Day!]

. . . not directly associated with basic needs, such as food and medicine.

[Doritos and pot are OK.]

3) A 24 hour employment walkout where participants refuse to attend work . . .

[No problem! Most DUmmies refuse to attend work anyways!]

4) It has been suggested and bears repeating, all bank accounts that are not absolutely necessary should be closed.

[Unbank it!]

A momentum is occurring
People are uniting across the world
They are sending a message
The next step is fast approaching

[An excuse is occurring
People like me are too lazy to go to the protests
I am needing a day off
The next step is to stop doing stuff]

On Oct 28th 2011 WE SHUT THE SYSTEM DOWN.

[SHUT IT DOWN! DOWN WITH THE SYSTEM! DOWN WITH DOING STUFF!]

We step out of the system and step back into ourselves.

[Is that you, Rod Serling?]

Turn off all lights

[Even my black light and my lava lamp?]

Unplug all electrical devices

[DUmmies Unplugged.]

Abstain from using TV, radio and internet or phone.

[Shut DUmmieland down!]

Abstain from making any purchase of any kind

[And no donations to $kimmer!]

Choose that morning to cancel any services you feel you no longer need

[Like showers.]

That morning call in sick to work

[Work?]

Do NOTHING that generates money into THE SYSTEM.

[Do NOTHING! In other words, keep doing what you're doing!]

We will send a message
We will unite

[We will stay on mattress
We will sleep]

Read a book

[How about that one by William Rivers Pitt and Scott Ritter?]

Meditate

[Medicate]

Play

[But only with yourself. Play with yourself.]

Sing

[Great idea! Let's get a head start on that, shall we?]

THAT'S A DUMMIE
Tune: "That's Amore"

When the Moonbats go wild
With the sh*t that they've piled,
That's a DUmmie.
When they've plain lost their heads
Like they've gone off their meds,
That's a DUmmie.

Hopes will fly,
Soaring to the sky, rising way up high
Like a giant sequoia.
Hands will wring--
What a ding-a-ling, what a ding-a-ling--
And you'll think, "Paranoia."

When the "F" words flow free
Just like on MTV,
That's a DUmmie.
When they march in the street
Without leaving their seat,
You're in luck:

Those aren't Rovian plants,
They're just Ants in their rants,
And they're FUnnie!
For a laugh and a half
Reading each paragraph--
That's a DUmmie!

[Now back to the list of things to do on Friday instead of doing things . . .]

Dance
Create

[Maybe form a drum circle with yourself. Become a DRUmmie.]

Frolic in nature
Love

[benburch loves to frolic au naturel.]

On Oct 28th 2011
Step out of the system and get back to yourself
Spread the word!
SHUT IT ALL DOWN!

[SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT. . . .]

[OK, so it seems that many of DUmmies {cough *Pitt*} have not been able, for some reason or other, to get out there and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with their sisters and brothers in the trenches, in the front lines. But surely THIS, this they CAN do, and with ease! And it will bring the corporations TO THEIR KNEES! So simple. It requires, literally, doing nothing. So simple, yet so devastating to those greedy b*st*rds! So I'm sure ALL the not-at-Wall-Street DUmmies, every man jack of them, will at least be willing to occupy THEMSELVES! And it's only for one day! Let's see now the rush to participate . . .]

But it's my birthday!!!

[Such commitment to the Cause!!!]

ME TOO!

[Can I see your birth certificate?]

It's my m-i-l's 85th birthday that day

[Say, you know, I think I have a cousin in Toledo celebrating his fifth month of sobriety that day. So I'd say that's a legitimate excuse for my not participating.]

I am going to bet right now that this will fall flat on its face.

[Well, sure. The old lady's going to be 85, for goodness' sakes! How many of her friends can be left? And what are you going to do for party games? Spin the pill bottle? Wheelchair races? Of course it's going to fall flat!]

People have jobs and no time. They aren't going to give the boss an excuse to fire them.

[No! Tell your capitalist boss to take that job and shove it! That'll bring him to his knees!]

They need to shop when they have a minute, and baby's diapers, Grampa's heart medicine, and those darn groceries are not going to magically appear if there's something you need to go buy on one lousy day.

[OK, so you stock up a little extra the day before or the day after. But on the 28th, when we DON'T shop, THAT will make the difference! It will break the backs of those evil corporations! Think of benburch going without his favorite diaper for a day! Diaper corporations will literally be soiling themselves as they tremble in fear!]

If there are any sports events on TV (e.g. the Canadiens are playing the Bruins that night), fuggedaboutit. People like their sports, they don't want to do yoga all the live-long day.

[Not me, brother! I PROMISE, if the Cardinals lose Game 6 tonight, I will NOT watch Game 7 tomorrow!]

The Bill Maher fans won't want to miss REAL TIME.

[All five of them.]

a meaningless display of faux righteousness that in the end means nothing. Are you seriously telling me that buying Granny's medications on the 29th instead of the 28th will make a real difference? . . . It's a stupid idea, to put it bluntly. It won't make a difference, because everyone will lie and say they did it, but in reality they'll just go about their business as they always do.

[DUmmie MADem, for that Brief Moment of Mental Clarity®, we will send you a Kewpie Doll! Just not tomorrow.]

Bank Run and General Strike, thanks, but no thanks. Like that's gonna happen.

[Another doubter! What is WRONG with you people!]

Occupy yourself? Doesn't that make you blind?

[There are none so blind as those who will not occupy themselves.]

I will participate in another national strike. Fully aware that's just me.

[But "me" is none other than . . . NADIN BRZEZINSKI!! Yes, Know-it-all Nadin is getting behind this movement! This will be the tipping point!]

The day after my birthday.

[Does this mean--does this mean Nadin's birthday is . . . October 27th? Like, TODAY?? HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NADS! A glass of triage milk with you!]

Ride a bike. It's good for you. It denies the oil companies of income. It does not emit exhaust into our precious air.

[And it does not pollute our precious bodily fluids.]

I'll participate. Be ready for a much more publicized, comprehensive, and widespread similar event date to be announced.

[The Day When Everything Finally Changed, v. 47.2. We'll keep doing this till we get it right.]
