Freakin party crashers

[conscious evolution]

My housemates and I threw an Obama Nation Celebration Party Sunday afternoon.All was going great then this guy crashed the party.










:silly:

[YOY]

1. Did he bring peanuts at least?

:evilgrin:

Love that Jimmy.

[conscious evolution]

3. Therewas already plenty of nuts there.

[orleans]

80. hey! who is the cute guy with the zappa shirt??

:evilgrin:

[Enthusiast]

99. Zappa, kicks ass! nt

[conscious evolution]

118. That is Rob.

He is in a band,Jango Monkey, that was playing earlier.
Heres a vid of them that day http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=pOJdwc3ODTo

[countingbluecars]

2. Wow! Very cool! n/t

[Deep13]

4. That Jimmy Carter, what a trouble-maker!

:7 :thumbsup:

[Tatiana]

5. Hey that's some party crasher you've got there!

YAY for Jimmy!!!!!

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

6. Ahhh, them crochety old farts.

Always doing stuff like that, getting everyone into shot contests, running around with lampshades on their head. They're a menace, I tells ya'!

So, just how many folks did Jimmah drink into a coma? That's the kind of stuff we DU'ers want to know.

Sheesh, my party crashers, back when we were having parties, only insulted my dear, loved, flaming gay housemate(The farm was kinda like a sitcom, without the residuals). We had some good bashes, but there always seemed to be one in every crowd. Of course, my housemate's propensity towards dressing up for these affairs in things like antique wedding dresses, tiaras and wolverine boots didn't help much.

[bunkerbuster1]

7. Color me jealous.

Dang.

[Jeanette in FL]

8. That is just too cool

Great pictures.

[conscious evolution]

9. The advance Secret Service guy really freaked us out.

Imagine a bunch of hippys in full tilt party mode with some huge guy that is obviously connected to law enforcement and heavily armed showing up.
Talk about a paranoia.

[DS1]

112. You mean this guy scowling in the background?

[ThatsMyBarack]

10. Jimmah's got a Halo on....

In the 2nd-to-last photo! ;)

[conscious evolution]

12. I noticed that.

Pretty cool,huh.

[1monster]

127. That's called an Orb... Thought to be a paranormal visitation from the other side...

Apparently, Jimmy wasn't the only party crasher.

Hmmm, Billy was quite a partier in his day. You think maybe? Or perhaps Miss Lillian? :D

On edit: somehow a space got between r and b. Had to remove it.

[City Lights]

11. Very cool!

I could use a :greenwithenvy: smiley right now! :hi:

[MarianJack]

13. I was a Kennedy 80 Democrat,...

...but the greatest former President in history can crash any party I throw!

[Bertha Venation]

14. What?!

I'm almost in tears. I want so badly to meet that man. What a gift you received!

[RubyDuby in GA]

101. Come on down!

GA DUers would love to have you, then you can go to Plains:

http://mbcplains.com/index.php/sunday-school/

Then you can have your picture taken, see:

[Bertha Venation]

104. My dad met him a couple of years ago:

Dad died unexpectedly this year. I'm glad he got a chance to meet Brother Jimmy.

[RubyDuby in GA]

109. That's wonderful!

I'm glad that he got that chance before he passed on.

Seriously, we would love to have you. Anytime you want to head on over to Dixie, you just let us know and the GA DUers will do it up right! :hi:

[Bertha Venation]

110. Thanks, Ruby

:hi:

[riverwalker]

15. wow...I love Jimmy

he looks so happy.
A clear conscience will do that.

[NashVegas]

89. Really?

Ask him about El Salvador sometime.

[beac]

16. I love how the guy in the second-to-last pic is hiding his beer...

"No sir, Mr. President, we have NOT been drinking!" ;)

[JeffR]

20. I caught that too

then I wondered if it was maybe a little internal voice saying, "Move that can away! You can't spill beer on an ex-President!"

Wonder how many people will follow that protocol with Shrub...

[conscious evolution]

25. That is Tammy

She said to him "I know it ain't proper to be holding a beer when meeting a former President,but what the hell.
Roslyn. "We love beer drinkers".

[beac]

28. The Carters are White House residents that I'd actually "like to have a beer with."

Lucky Tammy!

:toast:

[Kalyke]

36. LOL!! I was laughing about that one, too.

:D

[tabasco]

73. Bwaaahahahaha!

Good catch.

God Bless Jimmy Carter!

[jhain]

17. GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP

GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP
GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP

Are you SURE it was him????

[dorkulon]

18. Wow. That is amazing!

How did that happen?

[Wednesdays]

19. He looks great!

He's 84 years old now? My God, I hope I just make it to 84, let alone look as fit as he does! :bounce:

[mopinko]

21. i hate you.

;-P

[me b zola]

22. Just wow

:thumbsup:

[JHB]

23. Oh, No! You don't get off that easy!

There's a story behind this.

Spill!

[conscious evolution]

26. Amy lives in the nieghborhood

I think she had something to do with it.
The Carter Center and Library are also close by.That probably also helped.

[Taverner]

131. Wow - Carter is a Democratic Treasure

[H2O Man]

24. Great!

Thanks for sharing this!

Nominated.

[struggle4progress]

27. Good on Jimmy!

[tblue37]

29. I love that man! nt

[MiniMe]

30. So were you expecting "guests" or was it a surprise drop-in?

[conscious evolution]

34. Total surprise

When the Secret Service guy arrived beforehand we were freakin out.Heavily armed guys obviously connected to law enforcement can be a little unnerving at the best of times.Imagine what it was like for a bunch of hippys in full-on boogie mode.

[MiniMe]

37. That's really cool.

How did they know about your get-together?

[conscious evolution]

43. One of my housemates passed out fliers

I guess Amy must have seen one and invited the parents.

[MiniMe]

46. Did Amy come too?

[conscious evolution]

47. A nieghbor said he saw her

there earlier.
Me,I wouldn't recognize her if she was standing right in front of me.Hell,she probably did at one point.

[MiniMe]

48. Well, you throw one hell of a party

Invite DU next time! :hi:

[conscious evolution]

51. You know,I almost did

I thought about it but then I remembered that most of the Ga DUers I have met did not seem to be the type who would be into a hippy party.
Oh well. I'll do it the next time.

[RubyDuby in GA]

100. Whatever.

:silly:

Not being old enough to be a hippy myself, I show total respect for you old fogies. :)

Looks like you guys had a great time and I am now your biggest fan (love me some Carter!)

[Raine1967]

114. We are... Sounds like

We live pretty close to you! VaHi, we can walk to the Carter center!

AWESOME pix!!!

[guruoo]

65. First photo,

walking behind President Carter.

[Greyhound]

31. How astoundingly cool for you, wow! I'd love to have a conversation with him.

Wow.

Did he fix your porch or anything?

Lucky you!

[Cleita]

35. Cool pics thanks for posting. n/t

[uppityperson]

38. Very cool, I am so envious. Thanks for posting the pictures.

How nice of him to crash your party. Very cool.

[Ichingcarpenter]

39. Damn Nobel Prize Winners .... they think

they used to be President too.... Damn, I'm impressed!

Was the Secret Service protection noticeable or invasive?

[conscious evolution]

44. Oh yeah

Very noticable.Freaked us out at first.
Other than that they were cool.

[spoony]

40. Whoa! How cool

He's looking good too!

[PVnRT]

41. Did you get him off your lawn?

[neverforget]

42. Cool! How long did he stay? What did he talk about? Details please?

Was the Secret Service guys cool with your "hippy" party?

[conscious evolution]

45. No speech or anything like that

Basicly everyone swarmed him to shake hands and get a picture with him.

SS was cool.Like I said upthread,they did freak us out at first.

[livetohike]

49. This really makes me smile and I love the pic with the

beer can behind the back :-). Thanks for posting this and it's extremely cool.

[ColbertWatcher]

50. Damn hillbillies. Wish I was there. k+r, n/t

[sonias]

52. Hey he's welcomed to any party of mine, anytime

Wow, you lucky dog, conscious evolution!

Jimmy Carter is way cool in my book.

:applause:



Sonia

[Ikonoklast]

53. I am officially jealous.

I get ill thinking how much different this country and the world would have been if we had implemented the changes Jimmy Carter wanted to make.


We are a stupid and short-sighted nation.

[lumberjack_jeff]

54. The. Awesomest. Thing. Ever. n/t

[barbtries]

55. that is so cool

how'd he happen by?

[Downtown Hound]

56. Did Jimmy bring a keg?

because I think you could forgive his bad manners if he brought a keg.

[Principal Vernon]

57. there goes the neighborhood...

that's pretty damn cool. he kick anyone's butt in limbo or keg stands? :toast:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

58. THAT. Is wonderful.

Thank you my friend, and thank you Mr. President.

I'd be jealous if I wasn't so happy for you. :hug:

[knitter4democracy]

59. Soooooo jealous!

Now I want him to visit one of my parties!

[proud2BlibKansan]

60. How awesome!!!

I am so jealous.

[GreenPartyVoter]

61. No way! How cool is that?

[HCE SuiGeneris]

62. I am sooooo envious.

Congrats on your celebration! :party:

[Edweird]

63. Wow. That is AMAZING.

:toast:

[AwakeAtLast]

64. He looks GREAT!

Wow, I'm sure you all had a great time! What great pictures!

:hi:

[tom_paine]

66. Wow, cool. Everybody must have stashed their "hoochie mama" in a hurry after the SS arrived.

:smoke:

or did JC get down and toke a spliffy?

Do tell!

:rofl:

[blonndee]

67. OMFG!

I'm about to cry, I'm so freaking jealous.

[progressoid]

68. Wow, too cool.

[dana_b]

69. good for you!

wow - that's so cool. Looks like there was no old "Billy Beer" around. Thank God!

[AzDar]

70. Jesus! That is COOL!!!

:hi:

[Nostradammit]

71. I only hope I'm wearing a Zappa shirt when I meet Jimmy

My life would be officially replete.

[MadMaddie]

72. Jimmy could crash my party anytime!

What a good guy he is.

[tabasco]

74. OMG! No! I hope they didn't do donuts in your yard on their choppers!

That dude in the white shirt looks like the "leader of the pack."

[Poll_Blind]

75. Jesus Christ, now I want a Jimmy Carter at a party at my house too!

  Now that I know it's fucking possible- I guess it's like you ain't ever gonna see them starlings unless you put the bird seed out but shit.

What state do you live in?

PB

[conscious evolution]

76. A state of bliss

Oh.Wait a minute.You mean where,right?

Atlanta Georgia

[shireen]

77. he can crash my party anytime!

i'm so envious ... you got to spend time with a real American hero.

[BrklynLiberal]

78. How cool is that!!!???? Glad you got pics...

[motocicleta]

79. Words cannot do justice

to how frackin cool that must have been. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

My favorites from the pics? SS dude trying to look comfortable, Stacy hiding her beer, suspicious White Buffalo shirt couple (that's not really Jimmy Carter, come on) and dude with the Zappa shirt meeting the 39th President of the United States of America, the honorable, humble, commendable, righteous, and unbelievably wonderful Mr. Jimmy Carter.

And of course, Ros saying 'we like beer drinkers'. You are the most fortunate party-haver in the history of a party-havin' nation, CE.

[GreenTea]

81. Love Jimmy, our Prez.....

[mrreowwr_kittty]

82. OMG! How awesome!

I loves me some Jimmy Carter. You lucky asshole! :woohoo:

[Swagman]

83. terrific !!

[Connonym]

84. That's really great!

I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Jimmy Carter. His was the first presidential election in my memory. I was 10 years old and so completely fascinated with him after one of my aunts worked for him in Iowa and raved about how wonderful he was. I'll never forget that election and how exciting it was for me. No matter what anyone says about his presidency I think that he is the most remarkable man to have held the office in my lifetime. He is the very essence of a gentleman, a scholar and a philanthropist and the 10 year old girl in me still feels a thrill every time I see him or hear his voice.

Thank you for posting your great pictures. I am so very, very envious.

[mymessageboardid]

85. I love this

What state was this in?

[Hekate]

86. How touching--and what an honor. Lucky you. nt

[AllyCat]

87. OMG! That's awesome! At least someone had the good sense to

hide the beer from the preacher man :)

[ProfessorG]

88. That guy's a dead ringer for Jimmy Carter!!

He looks just like him. Speaking of dead ringers, there's this insanely funny video on You Tube called 'Obama Girl's Mama.' The 'Mama'
is a dead ringer for Obama Girl, give or take 30 years, but she's pretty hot and the video is a riot! I've enclosed a link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA0TTfqFZg8

[Faux pas]

90. Boy are you one lucky sumbitch! I'd love to have Jimmy crash

one of my parties.

[DUlover2909]

91. Wow! That's awesome. Thanks for the pics!

:headbang:

[classof56]

92. Oh, my stars! How lucky are you!

I love Jimmy! To spend time with him...wow, that's all I got to say!

[Lochloosa]

93. Damn. That would have been the perfect time to break out my Billy Beer!

Nice pics.
:toast:

[Historic NY]

94. Damn, did he bring pie?.......

What are you guys drinking bush beer?

[waiting for hope]

95. That was awesome!

You are one lucky individual, I have a lot of respect for Pres. Carter. Happy to Kick and Rec!

[shadowknows69]

96. OMG, Can I please be at your next party?

So jealous that you got to meet President Carter.

[The Doctor.]

97. Man... who does this guy think he...

Whut?

Oh.


Kool. One of the few people I wouldn't mind crashing a party.

[keith the dem]

98. Jimmy was my first vote, in the PA primaries just after I turned 18

The proudest vote I ever made...until last week. I never lost respect for this man and his unerring respect for human rights.

[bananas]

102. Wow! I almost missed this thread!

He looks really happy!
Those are great photos, thanks!
I like this one, with the beer and halo:

[SharonRB]

103. Very cool! n/t

[LynneSin]

105. Jimmy Carter is why I'm a democrat - but the reason why is pretty silly

I was only 10. I figured a guy that grows peanuts can't be bad because Peanut Butter was my favorite food.

Then he had Barbara Jordan speak as the keynote address speaker - I was hooked!

[Soylent Brice]

106. what was his poison?

maker's mark man right here. always wondered what the greats liked to wet their whistle with.

:beer:

[EOTE]

107. Holy crap that's awesome. Does he live near by?

What a great man.

[onehandle]

108. Why is the guy in the 7th photo wearing a Kerry for President Button from 2004? nt

[conscious evolution]

115. I have no idea

I thought it a tad strange myself.I'll ask next time I see him.

[LSK]

111. now that is amazing!!!

[asdjrocky]

113. That guy still owes me 10 bucks.

Kidding. That is so cool.

[TexasObserver]

116. Uh oh. I'm getting peanuts envy.

Good for you!

I still like Jimmy.

[Chorophyll]

117. That is just too cool!

:toast:

[ann_american2004]

119. This is great

thanks for sharing!

[skyounkin]

120. Oh MY GOD!!!

That's so amazing!! I love the second pic with his thumbs hooked into his jeans, just hagin' out in da hood!!

I'm so envious but so happy for you- that's an amazing expierience for you!

[iamthebandfanman]

121. its sad people try to make fun of him

hes such a good hearted man, always thinking of others first.

[nonny]

122. More party crashers

I see you have a few more party crashers in photos 8 & 9

I am not sure if the giant orb is an orb or lens flare --- but where is the sun?
OK, take a look at all the smaller orbs in the background in 8 and 9 --- these are some more unexpected guests!

[treestar]

123. Wow are you so lucky!

What a cool thing to happen!

[Kurovski]

124. No way! No freakin' way!

But that's some mighty fine photoshoppery. ;-)

That's spectacular. K&R. :-)

Edit: Oops, too late to "R". :-(

[donco6]

125. HA! Good for you!

Jimmy Carter is a saint.

[SeattleGirl]

126. Wow! How cool is that?

You lucky dog, you! :toast:

[Doodler71]

128. That is awesome.

:toast:

[deaniac21]

129. I wish they would let him fix the economy!

[suffragette]

130. How wonderful to celebrate this historic election

with Carter!

It's easy to see how happy he was.
