Calling all Jugglers, Fire Eaters, Freaks,
Anarchist Clowns, Radical Cheerleaders, Billionaire's
for Bush's War, Drummers, Drag Queens, Church Ladies for
Choice, Radical Rockettes, Gospel Singers, Musicians, Chicks and Pricks for Perma-War, Puppetistas, Babes for Bombs, Students for An Undemocratic Society, Church of Stop Bombers, Reclaimers of
Streets, New Kids on the Black Bloc, and anybody and
everybody who thinks that this war is absurd:

In the tradition of the first Absurdists, who
wrote and performed and drew and danced in
response to the horror and devastation of World War,
we will create our own Theater of the Absurd
in response to our Idiot Boy King's relentless
drive to pitch the world into a state of permanent
warfare.

WHAT YOU CAN DO: Wear costumes, bring
INSTRUMENTS and NOISEMAKERS of all kinds,
bring posters and banners (sample slogans
below).
Be prepared to mock the Axis of Oil without
mercy.

SLOGAN IDEAS:
-Regime Change Begins At Home
-OBEY
-All Hail The Idiot Boy King
-Attack to Defend
-Wag the Dog
-We Have Always Been At War With Oceania
-ExxonMobil (or whatever) Flag over the
legend:
"Try Burning This One,
Asshole!" or "These Colors Don't Run!"
-Free the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
-God Hates Peace
-Jail the Trees
-Peace is Terrorism
-Bomb Harder
-Make War Not Love
-No Justice! No Peace, Either!
-Before We Build New Weapons of Mass Destruction,
Let's Get Some Use Out of the Ones We Already Have
-Bring Back McCarthyism
-Tell Us (US?) What to Think
-Bush is a Wimp/Cheney is a Pussy
-War IS Globalization
-More Bush Family Vendettas (Dukakis: You're
Next!) (or Noriega, Perot,
Buchanan, Clinton, Gore)
-We Want Gulf War III - Starring Jenna Bush!
-Annex Mexico
-We (heart) Halliburton, Harken, Enron, ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell,
McDonnell Douglas, Boeing, Microsoft, etc.
-God Bless (same as above)
-Pre-empt Germany, France, Democracy, The UN, Congress, The Constitution

*Because we can't "Endure" another "Operation" for "Freedom" or "Democracy" or any other Noble-Idea-Twisted-Into-Orwellian-Knots-War.

*Because everyone from James Baker III to
Nelson Mandela to CIA director
George Tenet thinks this is dumb.

*Because every time Bush opens his mouth it
sounds like he's playing
Dungeons and Dragons.

PLEASE REPOST WIDELY!

As a D&D player, I take offense, and anyone who's ever supported political correctness should come running to my defense, we're a misunderstood minority.

God, those fucking D&D players... coming over here, nicking our d20s...

Next time there's a "stop the war" demo in the UK (which hopefully won't be needed again, but almost certainly will) I'm having a "We have always been at war with Oceania" banner. That's fucking genius.

if anybody would like to show up as a member of the Morticians and Undertakers Guild showing their support of the war please get in contact. I had this idea a few days ago.

"God hates peace." Marvelous.

That'd be an interesting theatrical interpretation... Ubush Rex?

I did think of something along the lines of arms dealers against war cause they want some time off, but couldn't think it any further than that.
