[buddhamama]

1. checking in

weren't expecting me, were you? sweet me-i'd never persecute anyone!
HAH! :D Now that 2005 is upon us I've decided to return to my old self.

[salin]

2. Hey buddhamama! Who should we persecute

lots o folks think they are being persecuted - so maybe, for the right target (pun intended), we should oblige?

[buddhamama]

7. hmmm,

short people. what good are they!? you're always tripping over them- BAH !

[salin]

8. oh my

does that mean I have to persecute myself? That could be interesting

[buddhamama]

11. *snarf*

indeed. I am short too, 5' to be exact.

[salin]

12. So what did you think of the song... you know the one...

I was in high school and kept getting picked up by tall guys and "seranaded" (my choice of perspective) with the chorus... lol.

[buddhamama]

15. seriously? let me ask you

did any of them win your heart with that song?

it's kinda funny-the song. never bothered me really.

[salin]

18. nah...

I found it simultaneously amusing, and irritating. Actually I was in the younger years and it was some big senior football types that took to it - so I secretly (never admitted it before) rather enjoyed the attention. Ah for the days of my superficial youth!

[tjdee]

3. The man.

It's always the man.

:)

[salin]

10. and "them"

the omnipresent "them"...

[GOPisEvil]

4. I'm white, straight and male. I oppress everyone!

KNEEL BEFORE ZOD! :D

[DrGonzoLives]

6. I haven't seen you at the weekly meetings

Do you know the secret handshake yet?

[salin]

9. so you two... who is the target this week?

:D

[GOPisEvil]

13. I was just recently granted membership.

I'm one them damn foreigners...but I have no accent and I'm a citizen, so they let me join the oppressor class.

My dues check hasn't cleared yet. I don't get to learn the handshake until then.

[salin]

14. that's because

til the check clears they are persecuting YOU behind your back!

[GOPisEvil]

16. Damn! The Man always gets you one way or another!

x(

[buddhamama]

17. oh no

f*uck that! i ain't gonna be persecuted by no foreignor.

what nationality are you again- oh yeah, greek god.
ok pal, you're next on my list. :-)

[salin]

19. I don't know his height... but

maybe he can get a double wammy of persecution...?

[GOPisEvil]

20. Well...for a guy I'm sorta short...

5'8"

Persecute away! :P

[salin]

22. Lookie here... a willing victim

there has got to be a catch....

[buddhamama]

24. the non-persecuted

play victim. standard ploy to get you to lower your guard and feel sorry for them- don't do it salin. stay strong.

[salin]

26. Ah, but the poor guy only has 24 teeth

*stay strong... stay strong*

[buddhamama]

27. yeah yeah

next he'll tell ya he only two eyes :crazy:

[GOPisEvil]

28. Oh, I have gray hairs, too.

Come on! Victimize me!!!!! :P

[salin]

29. bah! Now if they were naturally recurring

green or pink hairs.. then maybe sympathy might save you from the wrath and undaunting pace of our future persecution...

[GOPisEvil]

30. I have brown eyes, too!

I'm so...so...normal and average! Surely I must be persecuted for my bland average-ness!

[salin]

31. and if I recall...

you are a recent first time home owner... just steps away from becoming an oppressor and slum lord... it is a part of the deal when you get that membership in the club...

[GOPisEvil]

32. I know...my house is PERFECT for a rental...

I HAVE thought about it...oh my God...I'm becoming one of them!

[salin]

33. Insidious how that happens?

OH he of perfect status for persecution....

[GOPisEvil]

34. Oh no...I'm about to be persecuted aren't I?

I can take it...*girds loins*

[salin]

35. just to torture you...

this will have to wait until after I eat dinner... and catch up on the news... you will not know when we will strike... enjoy your evening... :evilgrin:

[GOPisEvil]

36. Torture with my persecution?!

There will be a reckoning! :P

[GOPisEvil]

25. I only have 24 teeth, too.

:7

Stupid teeth were too big for my mouth, so 8 of 'em had to go! So, yeah, I'm a dental freak, too! Bring it on! :P

[buddhamama]

21. ooo salin,

you're good

(ssshhhh, all subtle like, ask him his height)

[salin]

23. too easy

just volunteered that info ... wondering what the game is... playing coy for attempted double-dealing-secret reverse persecution, perhaps?

But Hah! We are onto that game... we can go for the triple "I am rubber you are glue" persecution ...

[DrGonzoLives]

5. Me, of course

I'm white, straight, male, and Christian, everything is my fault.

Now, if you'll excuse, I need to go to the weekly Grand Conspiracy to Oppress Everyone Society meeting where all us men sit around thinking up ways to oppress more people.
