Ladies and gentlemans the day has finally arrived! Paultards and Birthers and “Don’t Tax Me Bro”s and even the reclusive Santelliosos shall gather, in our nation’s capital and in other godforsaken places such as central Texas, to register their frustration with whatever the fuck. Our own Ginger Terror, Jim Newell, will be on the ground somewhere in DC trying not to get murdered. Boston Buddy Garrett Quinn promises updates from the place in Massachusetts where the actual tea party happened a million years ago, while commenter InsidiousTuna sends hot pixxx ‘n’ updates from Waco to Teablogging.net and ShortsandPants, which maybe we will link to or STEAL. Are YOU going to one of these important protest events today? Please to send poetry, video, bags of tea, and photographs to tips@wonkette.com. We will probably ignore them.

BIG SALE ON TEABAGZ!!!
Let the ball steeping begin!
Keith Obermann had a nice double entendre “tea bagging” segment last night. Used every reference and synomym in the book. Just what the non-event deserves.
Here’s the real, baffling question for these idiotic, moronic, inanne and out-of-their-mind “protestors:” Just what the hell are you protesting? Most, hell, if not all, of the tax-reform proposals from the forward-thinking, progressive, modern and common-sense-based Obama administration ACTUALLY HAVE TO DEAL WITH LOWER TAXES IN MOST CASES. That’s lower taxes for the poor, lower taxes for the middle class–which makes up most of this country–and actually, in some cases, some particular cases, some lower taxes for higher-end income levels.
So, what on earth are these psycho morons “protesting?”
Just who the hell are these weirdos?
They want tiny government, no taxes, less regulation. Sounds like Somalia, eh?
Somehow I read the sign being held as “We Will Not BOW To Highlanders.” At least they’d have a clear objective protesting against the Scottish.
Well, teabagging requires one to bow, or in normal parlance bend over. I guess that fucktard doesn’t realize what he’s signed on for.
Nice condom on that sign there. I’m sure we’ll be treated to a style extravaganza.
“We will not BOW to higher laxes”?! Did he mean “taxes”, or is this an ad for laxatives?
Don’t get any ball sweat on your polar fleece, buddy.
[re=289797]thefrontpage[/re]: They are losers. Their empty loser lives need this excitement, they need this little fantasy-drama that allows them to imagine themselves glorious heroes making history, boldly standing up to evil and injustice and yadda yadda yadda.
Good lord, don’t these folks even have sharpies? COme on, let’s have some effort and at least make our signs legible
…Ron Howard?!
He will not BOW, will bendover for lunatic right wing pundits though. Find the teabagging near you! taxdayteaparty.com
All the men drop your car keys in this bowl on your way into the party. The ladies will all randomly select a set of keys from the bowl. She’ll find the owner of her chosen keys, and…
12 to 1:00 at city hall in my town – no sign of press ‘copters yet…
My toddler is throwing a “tea tantrum” today, because I had the gall to spend “his” money on diapers and wipes to clean up the shitty mess he made, instead of just launching a preemptive strike on the neighbor’s house like he wanted to do. Fuckin’ kids, man.
I’d go to one of these events, but I don’t live in my mother’s basement and subsist on Cheetos and Mountain Dew so I don’t think I qualify.
[re=289797]thefrontpage[/re]: I’m gonna take to the streets and protest the Obama administration’s decision to send Jews to internment camps.
For Srs, though, I am going to the tea party in Memphis (although I guarantee you 97% of attendees live in the exurbs) to troll, and observe. Mostly to troll, though.
I’ll be accused of being an ACORN infiltrator right away, though, because I’m wearing this shirt: http://www.threadless.com/product/383/The_Communist_Party
[re=289799]rereridiculous[/re]: Highlander/Teabagger! There can only be one! (I wish)
[re=289799]rereridiculous[/re]:
There can be only one?!?
[re=289818]Noodle Salad[/re]:
Jinx
…remember “Tea-baggers”, its not a protest unless you are being beaten by baton wielding riot police or being trampled by officers on horse back! Good Luck!
With all this rain, I am very worried about some soggy tea bags.
[re=289797]thefrontpage[/re]:
Like Joe the Plumber, these patriotic Americans will not allow the mere fact that Obama’s plans actually lower their taxes interfere with their protest against Obama raising their taxes.
“Our own Ginger Terror, Jim Newell”
This has to be on Jim’s business cards from here on out.
Umm. How *inappropriate* are these teabag pictures we’re sending in allowed to be???
I bet you they “bow” for a lot of other reasons.
The good side to all this public protest is that my chances of being audited have plummetted.
[re=289820]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Haha. There can be only one highlander joke!
Joe The Plumber will be in Lansing, MI to suck balls against high taxes!
http://www.detour-mag.com
All this crap just because they can’t get Turbo Tax to install on their Windows Millennium Edition machines.
[re=289821]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: No, with Tea-baggers, the police will bravely defend their right to gather peacefully. And scream about book-burning.
Philadelphia has canceled its gangbang in LOVE Park because of the rain. Massive case of blueballs commences.
If teabagging isn’t your thing, just wait for the bukkake against regulation.
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=80561199832 go there and click not attending..do it for South Carolina
[re=289823]Serolf Divad[/re]: Also like ‘Joe’ the ‘Plumber’, I assume they didn’t actually seek permission for these protests?
[re=289797]thefrontpage[/re]: What I love is that these inbreds are so convinced that one day, they’ll actually end up being upper, or even upper middle class.
I hate to break to them, but the people who are going to “suffer” under a higher tax regime are the latte-drinking, Prius-driving, Birkenstock-wearing, trust-fund babies who mostly voted for Obama anyway.
I’m facing a moral dilemma. I really want to go laugh at the teatards, but I don’t want them to be able to count me in their “overwhelming numbers who attended,” which they will surely be trying to inflate. Hmm, what to do?
God I wish I were going to the Santa Monica teabaggers v. code pink throwdown. And by that, I mean i would rather gargle broken glass. Jesus fucking christ.
as someone who lives in central texas, i am offended that waco would be lumped in with us. it is more like a “dead zone” or the place you stop to pee/vomit on your way to dallas.
I may make a nice hot cup of tea later on today, but that’s only to protest the fact that I ran out of Gevalia pecan tort coffee yesterday.
I think they’re protesting somewhere in Nashville, but I haven’t heard anyone playing any Toby Keith or Hank Williams Jr. songs yet, so I can’t say for sure.
REALITY CHECK
STATEMENT FROM THE PRESIDENT, APRIL 15, 2009, FROM THE WHITE HOUSE–THIS IS REAL. YOU CAN CONFIRM VIA THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS PAGE, WHICH IS OPEN TO EVERYONE. NOTE HOW THE PRESIDENT NOTES THAT HIS TAX PLANS CALL FOR LOWER—-LOWER—–TAXES FOR LOWER- AND MIDDLE-CLASS CITIZENS, WHO MAKE UP MOST OF THE UNITED STATES POPULATION:
Today, on Tax Day, President Obama will meet with several working families, just like the ones all across America, who are facing tough choices during this economic crisis. President Obama will underscore his commitment to a simpler tax code that rewards work and the pursuit of the American dream and supports a future of sustained economic growth that creates good jobs and rising incomes for all Americans. He will discuss the unprecedented action his Administration has taken to give tax cuts to the Americans who need them, while jump-starting growth and job creation in the process. Many working Americans have lost a job or are fighting to keep their small business open. Many more are struggling to make payments, to stay in their home, or to pursue a college education. To help middle-class families get back on their feet and restore some fairness to the tax code, as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, President Obama signed the Making Work Pay tax credit into law. As a result, families across the country are seeing more money in their paychecks. “Since the Recovery Act was signed into law we have delivered real and tangible progress for the American people. I am proud to announce that my Administration has lessened the tax burden on working families while also restoring some balance to the tax code,” said President Barack Obama. “The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is based on the simple premise: what is good for working families is good for the economy and what is good for the economy is good for working families. Specifically, cutting taxes for working families helps to create jobs because these families are the most likely to spend the money. And staving off a deep recession disproportionately helps working families that would have been most likely to get hurt by the recession.”

[re=289834]StephanieInCA[/re]: Hey that’s my line!
Yes! Protest the current Bush tax code! Do it! Ha!!!!!
I wanna see the hot teabag chicks. There are always a few strangely, inexplicably hot, young, deeply confused women at fucktard events. You just know they are gonna wind up regretting this period of their life, but somehow they fill me with hope because if they are making this big a mistake, maybe its a bad year for their judgment in general and the odds could be good that they will make a mistake with me, too. For a lot of women out there in the world today, I am their greatest regret. I take pride in that.
@ AngryBlakGuy:
Yeah, I thought that was Opie, too. I also thought he and his daddy, the I-never-heard-of-black-persons sheriff of Mayberry, endorsed Obama.
[re=289839]PerhapsSo[/re]: You’ve heard the phrase “drive-by” before, haven’t you? Not that I am advocating thinning the herd, mind you. Just saying.
[re=289845]Woodwards Friend[/re]: O HAI yes, i did steal your line.
[re=289797]thefrontpage[/re]: Just who the hell are these weirdos?
The 10% of the voting population who make up the (retarded) Republican base. In other words, a small minority that can be safely ignored by everyone, including congress & the president. And I expect that’s exactly what will happen. As for the media, well, those lazy fucks prefer to have their jerbs done for them, and astroturfers are happy to distribute PR material to them, so win-win for both groups. The rest of us sane Americans are free to point & laugh; at both the teabaggers and their media stooges.
[re=289833]televisionarie[/re]: WHAT? Why? It’s not raining that much. I was so looking forward to this.
I’m going undercover to watch the bagging at the Pier, down here in Fairhope, Alabama. I thought about making up some little brown lunch sacks and putting peanuts in them. Open the hatch to my jeep, and have my little sign out that said, “Free nutsakz for all baggers”. My pinko commie muslin friends said that I probably shouldn’t go quite that far. Although it IS South Alabama, somebody COULD catch on.
I love how he’s protecting his incomprehensible sign with Saran wrap.
I think Newt Gingrich deserves some green tea. haha this is just funny…

[re=289856]DeepFriedTwinkies[/re]: So you’re an ACORN?
Any protests planned for Stockton, CA? Toss some firecrackers into the middle of that protest and things could get interesting.
[re=289799]rereridiculous[/re]: Somehow I read the sign being held as “We Will Not BOW To Highlanders.” At least they’d have a clear objective protesting against the Scottish.
Yes, of course with the exception of counties of Ayrshire, Berwickshire, Clackmannanshire, Dumfriesshire, East Lothian, Fife, Kinross-shire, Kirkcudbrightshire, Lanarkshire, Mid-Lothian, Peeblesshire, Renfrewshire, Roxburghshire, Selkirkshire, West Lothian and Wigtownshire.
(Ain’t Wikipedia grand? Also: I think I’m going to book my next vacation to ‘Wigtownshire.’)
11:25 – I’m walking to city hall for the 12 noon teabagging. I have a nice buzz and an empty 2 gig card but I can’t shake this feeling that something totally anti-climatic is going to happen…
[re=289844]Red Zeppelin[/re]: So the revolution will in fact, be televised??
[re=289847]Prommie[/re]: Uh…you need to work on your philosophy vis-a-vis women a bit. It’s ok! We all start out somewhere.
Be careful undercover operatives! They’s on to you!
http://taxdayteaparty.com/2009/04/beware-typical-newsie-posers/
[re=289834]StephanieInCA[/re]: Or, more poetically, the Regurgitation Against Regulation. Hmmm…SAY!
And if the teabagging revolution of ’09 doesn’t work, look out for the all-out truck-nuts revolution of ’10.
I can’t go because I have to work so I can pay my taxes like a good liberal and the red staters get their share of federal tax dollars. Worthless sonsabitches.
I’ll be at the Chicago teabagging with camera ready!
Soooo, since the nuts will basically blow their teabagging load on tax day, how are they gonna protest tomorrow?
Aside from the obvious- Dirty Sanchezing against the illegals, say- what kind of subversive, deviant sex act will the wingers co-opt next in the name of political protest?
How can we convince them to start handing out Hot Carls amongst themselves, is what I’m getting at.
[re=289867]TGY[/re]: How so? You mean its wrong to seek out the obviously lame, the wounded and vulnerable? But thats what its all about, in this way I improve the herd’s genetics, weeding out the weaker individuals. Besides, I have no chance against the ones that can run fast, or have personalities and are emotionally stable.
Well.. I tried to post on taxdayteaparty.com. Here’s what I got “You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down.
OH AND all Teaparty Infiltration Teams (TITs) should send updates to teablogging@gmail.com. KTHX.
Apparently my wife doesn’t watch Fox News. She didn’t know it was “teabag day” this morning and was shocked at my, what I though was appropriate, greeting. I’ll have to send her an Outlook reminder for Dirty Sanchez Day on May 5.
[re=289863]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: At least they’d have a clear objective protesting against the Scottish.
Och aye the noo!!
So come on, Wonkette, where the teabag women at? I want pictures of these fucktards.

[re=289856]DeepFriedTwinkies[/re]: Somebody please get a shot of the teatards unloading protest signs off the yacht or out of the Escalade.
Gather ’round, children,
And you shall hear
Of a fateful day
In a fateful year:
‘Twas May the Something
In eighty-six
When we all held hands
Like a bunch of hicks
Stretched in a line
Across the nation;
Some sort of poltical
Masturbation—
oh, fuck it, what was that hands across america BS about anyway? Anyone remember? Without looking it up on Wikipedia first? And just what did it accomplish? A short-lived spike in t-shirt, sunscreen, and bottled water sales?
So fast-forward to the now. Whatever happened to our man Barry’s warning about torches and pitchforks? Teabags! Great Christ, who are these rednecked pussies? They want to make some sort of statement that will really be heard, they could try burning down a few hundred bank branches.
Not that I’m advocating anything. Chester, I am a peaceful man.

Say what you will about the patchouli-scented puppet-frottage that characterizes Leftard gatherings, but at least their protest culture is organized around some specific issues (the war, the effect of global monetary policies on developing nations, etc.). This TeaBag stuff seems to be all about inchoate, generalized political discontentment.
It’s pretty lulzy, though.
I am less than one block away from a super-redneck teabagpaloza and I am trapped in the office with no hope of escape. I am heartbroken. I really wanted to mock them in person.
Stupid people suck. I was watching FOX yeasterday. I hadn’t seen it in a while. Complete and total Bizarro world. They are working overtime to get the tards riled up.
I wonder if that guy waxes his chest.
Can we just give these idiots a state? I’m thinking Idaho, even if that does mean a reduction in cheap spuds. Or Mississippi maybe.
They sure didn’t think this thing through. If they protest at noon, you’re going to see a lot of these mouth breathers with divided attention spans. Some wannabe will be at the podium talking, but his audience will have transistor radios to its ears getting the lowdown from Fat Man or Little Boy.
[re=289923]PerhapsSo[/re]: take pictures, please. #republicangangbang09 must be documented.
[re=289894]President Beeblebrox[/re]:
Ok. So now I hope the socialist/communist media gives these people some SERIOUS coverage.
So the world can see what a bunch of idiot winguts they are. At least some of the suggestions have to do with the spending bill, which is thier actual BEEF—but WTF does that have to do with taxes and tea?
Do they understand we’ve run deficits for like, a 100 years??? That sometimes we actually then balance the budget and fix it?!!! At least it would be legitimate and constructive to protest government programs they don’t agree with and demand cuts but this… this is just…laughable.
[re=289915]Crank Tango[/re]: I was confused by that too. Oregon =/= Montana, Texas, South Carolina, and Georgia.
Hey, the church bells are ringing high noon here in this midsized East Coast city where I work. Where r teh teabaggerz at? All I hear is rain and cars whizzing by.

[re=289933]tootsieroll[/re]: These are the same type of people who thought Teddy Roosevelt was the scion of the Devil, and that FDR was Satan himself. This country is as “socialist” as any European nation is; we’re just more subtle than they are about it. Like those railroads that Ayn Rand wrote so lovingly about in Atlas Shrugged – all creatures of the government, which gave them cheapo or free land grants and state and Federal charters. kthxbai!
How’re they gonna protect Mericuh from the soshulist terrists with a pair of balls on their chin? Must be some kind of secret terrist repellent tha Army’s been workin’ on.
Why is every word on that sign capitalized except for ‘taxes’? It seems an odd place to start following the grammatical structure of the English language.
This thread reads like a Pravda reunion. It’s two jackboots and a reactionary short of a Maotian orgy.
Of course the teabaggerz won’t BOW, but they’ll SCRAPE, PROSTRATE, and eventually CAPITULATE to high taxes or whatever mechanism we choose to exterminate the unworthy.
That is the reason we have economics in the first place — to make the untermeschen feel guilty about being starved to death by the nobility.
So, from what I gather, these people aren’t protesting actual higher taxes, per se, but the variously nefarious ways that all this monopoly money is possibly maybe being spent. Still impossible to get a single coherent statement of purpose, and this comes from the most articulate among them. The others just oink and fart.
At the Palm Beach tea bagging party, they’re making a real party out of it. They’re barbecuing Rush Limbaugh, which should provide enough meat for 10,000 or so ‘pubtards.
Tootsie Roll:
That taxdayteaparty.com website also has this interesting item “Neil Cavuto @ SACTOWN Tea Party.” Swear to God. Apparently “SACTOWN” is Conservatard “hip” for Sacramento. Or maybe they are finally tumbling to the whole teabag=scrotum thing.
I just did my taxes this morning on line. Took an hour, and that includes Schedule E and C. I paid an effective 11.9 percent rate on a $96K joint return, which is almost double the median family income in Georgia. Not sure where these high taxes and mind-boggling accounting nightmares are that they’re whining about.
I have a terrible habit of trolling for trolls on the Boston.com articles, and yesterday we were all embroiled in the Somali pirate issue. This guy posts:
if you liberal commentors out there read your own posts now attacking those who criticize Obama, you may want to step back a few months and recall the posts you were making about GWB. they’re identical. so when you claim ‘hypocrisy’ from the right, please go look in the mirror.
let’s face it, those of us leaning towards the right side think you guys on the left are out of your minds, and you feel the same way about us. please, let’s divide this country into 2 pieces and be over with it. I so look forward to watching the quick demise of the ‘left side’ as they realize no one is working and the tax rates are flat…at 95% across the board. have fun with that, your govt telling you how to breathe, your welfare, your politically correct sporting events (no score keeping…please, someone might get hurt feelings!), and your society of pansies.
So I wrote to him:
Ok jkkite, and we’ll look forward to you shooting each other over Nascar races, and hanging minorities for looking the wrong way at your women. Oh, and then there’s all the teens with babies living on the street begging because you know, they’ll be no birth control and no abortion, and no welfare for those brats either dammit!
Have fun with all that cancer and heart disease because all the good medical research will stay with the left states. But all y’all can just pray for healing.
Stereotyping goes both ways and is really stupid, huh? Grow up. Go find some humanity that doesn’t involve peeing in someone cornflakes
Funness
[re=289945]inner_bomber[/re]: Obvious Paultard is obvious!
[re=289946]P Drizzle[/re]: The others just oink and fart.
Truest & most amusing words spoken so far today!
Is that a man or a woman in that picture? Seriously, I can’t tell. If it’s a man, he’s mighty effeminate. And if it’s a woman, she’s pretty ugly.
[re=289916]Woodwards Friend[/re]: So you’re somehow simultaneously a brassiere and a jockstrap?
[re=289932]televisionarie[/re]: Oh, I have pictures. It was a bit of a snap-and-run mission, as it is raining more than I had anticipated.
I would go to the one in downtown Atlanta, but Hannity’s going to be broadcasting from there, and I’m not doing anything to boost that numbnuts’ audience.
[re=289953]tootsieroll[/re]: Great job!
Does anyone know if they delivered the 1 million teabags they were supposed to? Did Hannitybag get his 8,000 people in Atlanta? I’m stuck in a windowless office, and I need to know if the teabagging has gone off half-cocked.
[re=289946]P Drizzle[/re]: Yeah, considering how many engineers are Paultards, it’s odd how math-challenged they are. EVERY spending bill is the largest spending bill in the history of mankind; that’s how inflation and population growth work, even if you don’t boost programs.
[re=289889]WadISay[/re]: I just walked down to the Grand Hotel Marina to see if any of the yachtsmen were revolting. I guess they didn’t get the message. Don’t these people know that to have a freakin’ revolution somebody has to at least PRETEND to revolt???
You just KNOW that sign is going into his scrapbook when this is all over.
Only one kind of teabagging anyone is REALLY interested in.
Newt Gingrich deserves some raspberry tea. Drink up!

Old and busted: No taxation without representation.
New hotness: No taxation, but I better have my McNuggets!
God, I wondered what all these nuts with signs were doing screwing up parking in downtown Albany. Apparently they don’t know the Legislature isn’t here — they delivered their steaming sack of budget days ago and went home to NYC.
[re=289946]P Drizzle[/re]: The others just oink and fart.
Hey now, I don’t bring your family into this!
God, I can’t believe that nobody has suggested:
TRUCKNUTZ FOR TEABAGGERS
as a protest sign.
I don’t know if this has anything to do with the “protests,” but there was a six foot-tall grinning penis standing at the corner of 18th/Castro (San Francisco) this morning, waving at traffic. I assume it had to do with something else, because it wasn’t resting its basketball-sized nuts on the chin of a giant mouth.

Went to the one in Philly for a bit. They had some 16-year-old who wants to be Pennsylvania’s next US Senator blathering on about socialism and “not gonna take it,” or whatever. Some Paultard tried to engage my roommate and I about what we agree on. I got called an asshole for asking some guy why he was protesting taxes at a park paid for by tax dollars and earmarks. Whatever.
When did my website become a teabagging site? WHAT HAS DANA DONE??
Ya we’ve got “Jake” in Texas and “Kevotron” in Seattle while I just sit around and fap at my office, with a post on what they’re doing once in a while. HOORAY.
FUCK YOU RON HOWARD!
[re=289966]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: It doesn’t matter. He/she isn’t gettin’ no buttseks from anybody.
[re=289984]Lazy Media[/re]: What is up with all these otherwise well-educated, “smart” people being Paul hobbits? Do high schools not have to teach basic economics anymore?
Is there one in Los Angeles? No?
Oh, wait, illegal immigrants don’t have to pay taxes. Snap, son.
[re=289976]PerhapsSo[/re]: Wish I had remembered my camera today. There were some good crazed signs down there, including several “No taxation without representation” – uh, don’t the teabaggers know what this ‘congress’ they’re complaining about is? The rain also convinced me to leave after a short time, but I learned from the speaker that these protests would be just as important as the continental congress! Also, it was hot in the summer of 1776, so Al Gore’s great-great-grandfather wouldn’t have cared about stopping global warming.
drove by the state capitol in st. paul (mn) about 20 minutes ago. nuthin
[re=290047]DagNabbit[/re]: THAT’S where I’ve seen that mug.
[re=290108]JMP[/re]: I just heard the guy reading off of the tea party website, so I tuned out then. However, I did enjoy the guy who yelled “bullshit” when they called it a grassroots effort.
Did you see any tea? Not much of a tea party without tea.
So, has Glenn Beck jizzed in his pants yet?
No taxation without representation
I believe they mean there is a shortage of retards in Congress. Or maybe the quality thereof (although seriously, crazier than Bachmann? Ain’t happening).
And I’m sure they want a separate-but-equal McCain presidency so they are represented in the Executive branch. I get the feeling these guys didn’t pay a whole lot of attention in Civics class.
[re=290108]JMP[/re]: The teabaggers are part of the D.C. voting rights movement? That’s the only way that “taxation without representation” crap makes any sense.
[re=290108]JMP[/re]: HAHA! My 200-people estimate (as emailed to tips@wonkette.com) has been validated by the local media: http://www.philly.com/philly/news/breaking/20090415_200_gather_a_Love_Park_for_Tax_Day_Tea_Party.html
[re=290130]PerhapsSo[/re]: No actual tea bags, unfortunately. Just some wet wignuts, and a bunch of gawkers. Too bad, because I could have used some more caffeine.
Ha. Actually, it seemed like less than 200 to me, unless you add in all the gawkers/mockers, media and cops.
From the article: “You most likely don’t know what socialism is.” Well, there’s one person who was actually being honest to his/her fellow teabaggers.
My teabagging shindig doesn’t start until 5:45 PM. By then all you Wonketteers will be drunk and sleeping… I’ll just get stoned and drunk until then. I have a loyal cadre of friends who will join me.
CNN much mocked
by the old, wet Freeper throngs,
grey with Common Good.
[re=290162]JMP[/re]: Perhaps that was a counterprotester? I mean, they clearly don’t know what socialism is, since many of the people there were pretty close to Social Security/Medicare age.
[re=289817]Zadig[/re]: Awesome shirt! I almost bought one of those!
[re=289894]President Beeblebrox[/re]: WOW! I’m dizzy. I need a cool teabag on my forehead.
