Fart on Art (Pope)


























I loved this guy and his kids (start 'em out young!):









Ended up here for a late lunch:





What a GREAT day.

[mmonk]

15. Excellent! LOL, yeah I saw the Fart on Art one.

Love the one "Dude, where's my future?"

[WorseBeforeBetter]

16. And the "Your Actions, My Consequences" young girl...

she seemed to be taking her "responsibilities" quite seriously!

[mmonk]

17. Yes, indeed.

And that is good to see.

[renate]

18. good for that "the duty of youth is to challenge corruption" girl!

It shouldn't have to be her duty, but bless her heart for taking it on! :loveya:

[WorseBeforeBetter]

19. Agreed...

she and her siblings were just adorable. They marched up and down Fayetteville Street with us -- gotta wonder what was going through those kiddie brains.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

24. Kicking, because I'm proud of my city today.

And for last Tuesday, for giving Teabagger Margiotta the boot!

[The Gunslinger]

25. still trying to find a hippy bum in the crowd.......

And no litter in sight as well. The MSM will have a hard time spinning this protest. I just wish I could have been there, but this lazy hippy had to put in a 10 hour work day.

[mmonk]

26. Lazy hippies work all the time so I understand.

:) And I couldn't take a picture of myself because I was too busy taking pictures of others. Yep, the media is gonna have to do alot of twisting to reconfigure this protest.

28. Awesome images. Sorry I missed seeing in time to recommend.

But a HUGE KICK, with gratitude to all occupiers!!!

:applause:
