I just got a chance to flip off GWB

[BadGimp]

I live in Marina Del Rey, CA which is jsut north of LAX. I was walking over to the Cheesecake Factory (for some yummy din din), and I happened to notice a group of military helicopters.

Yes it was the Marine One cavalcade.

I saw the second Marine One inthe group and raised my left hand HIGH with a middle finger salute.

Childish indeed. But for a fleeting moment I felt a sense of power that comes from free expressiion.

1. Good on you.

I'd have done the same thing.

3. I flipped off his motorcade over by the Santa Monica airport once

I'm sure he saw me :-) I didn't care if he did - it felt good to just do it.


btw: LOVE THAT CHEESECAKE FACTORY!! Good choice :thumbsup:

9. brat.... just rub it in!

My favorite is the Dulce de leche. OINK But they are very rich and I can't finish one either.

I used to work over off Howard Hughes Pkwy and the Cheesecake Factory was a treat. I used to love going over there. I'm jealous!

6. I flipped off Air Force One.

I knew Bushler was coming to town, and the approach path for the airport is right outside my window at work, so when AF1 flew by I gave him the one-finger salute. I think a few of my co-workers were a bit startled, and of course nobody saw me but them, but it felt good anyhow. It really pisses me off that that asshat is flying around the country in our airplane.

7. He was probably apoplectic and red-faced, pushing his forehead

against the window, screaming "No, fuck YOU!!!

(God, I'm laughing, picturing him doing that. I bet you can picture it too, clear as day.)

Just the kind of guy he is.

8. Ha ha... Bravo.

My dad saw him at the airport one time. But it's nowhere near as amazing as your story (and doesn't involve marvelous cheesecake either). :puffpiece: :beer:

A little further south and I coulda been the one saluting.

Damn, some people get all the fun.
