Wrap it up, dude.
Down twinkles for you. Down twinkles.
Mr. Twinkles, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
An index finger pointed outwardly means go away.
When great minds get together.
What’s with the hand signals? Can’t these people pronounce words with more than one syllable?
Oh and Mr.Twinkles, a middle finger pointed upward says exactly what I think of you.
Hi Carla,
I couldn’t agree more! I give an up twinkles to the twirling of the hands.
You’re in “agreeance”, then? :)
Hi Hans,
Up twinkles.
Mary,
Thank you for the up twinkles!!
Love all the other recommended hand signals.
Then these strange Occupy people (who are unemployed) wonder why no one takes them seriously.
Having just finished an interview, the Portland dude says to the interviewer, “So, do you think I’m up twinkles or down twinkles?”
LOL! ;)
Not all of the Occupiers are “strange,” some seem like nice people committed to their cause, whatever that is. I used to support them, but know I’m having doubts. Wimpy Eric Cantor was supposed to speak at UPenn, but he cancelled when he heard that the event would be open to the public. I saw a sign stating some of the reasons why they (the Occupiers) were opposed to him, and one was that he voted against stem cell research and “reproductive rights.” OUCH!
Also, the Occupiers are camped out at City Hall, where there is supposed to be major construction next month. These are good, long-term, well paying union jobs which are badly needed in a city where unemployment is at 11 percent. So far, they are refusing to move. They say they are for the working class, but how can this be when they are preventing the working class from working?
phillymiss,
A lot of the Penn and Temple professors have signed petitions in support of the “Occupados” (they treat the area worse than their bathrooms). I’m sure, since one of the grievances seems to be the higher cost in education, that these professors will offer to have their salaries cut.
“Help! I’ve fallen and I can’t reach my Twinkie!”
Then these strange Occupy people (who are unemployed)
I think that’s…part of the point. Seven people are competing for every job, in this economy. That said, I know that at the NY protest at least, it swells by thousands on weekends when those fortunate enough to have jobs can make it down.
