I'm starting an "Uppity Women's Club" -- Rep. McKinney will be our

[LostinVA]

Honorary President. Who wants to be in it? (men are more than welcome to be in our auxillary). Any age, creed, race, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, etc. is welcome. But you do have to pass a political street cred test.

Our possible motto: "We're uppity! We're proud! And we women can get loud! Got a problem with that?!"

[ThomCat]

[SeattleGirl]

10. I'll join!

[LostinVA]

[LostinVA]

[wildhorses]

[wildhorses]

24. well dayum...a secret tattoo?

[LostinVA]

27. I know! And it'll be in a secret place...

The woman who does Angelina Jolie's tats is giving us a discount.

[wildhorses]

32. that's cool cuz we uppity women are all about some bargains

what with all the hair extensions and makeup and all...it gets expensive being uppity

[LostinVA]

42. It does!

[RevCheesehead]

15. I'm in.

I just told a former church superintendent that "well-behaved women rarely make history." :)

(district superintendent = 1 step below Bishop)

[LostinVA]

19. You're Methodist, right?

I went to a Methodist college -- so you're in! (actually, any creed -- or no creed -- is welcome) You can bring the dairy products to the meetings....

[RevCheesehead]

34. I'll bring a cheese platter.

It has special power, ya know. ;)

[LostinVA]

43. I knew you would come through!

[yellowdogintexas]

61. I'll bring the deviled eggs, or maybe the green Jello thing

no gathering which includes food and Methodists is complete without one of those.

LOL

Methodist here and Methodist college too.

[yellowdogintexas]

62. You said that to the DS? YOu rock, cheese!!!

btw, where did you go to undergrad and seminary?

[RevCheesehead]

65. Truth be told, he is retired.

But yeah, I said it. :evilgrin:

I went to Westminster Choir College for undergrad & masters in music; and later, to Duke Divinity School (go, Blue Devils!).

[yellowdogintexas]

93. cool.

Most of our ministers around here pass through Perkins @ SMU although some went to Univ of Chicago and some UM div school in Colorado.

In my old conference, it was Louisville Presby, Vandy or Emory.

My minister would like you! But I am so happy to be a member of a very large very liberal UMC with a lot of clout in the conference.

Always good to meet another good United Methodist! I am a Kentucky Wesleyan grad, myself

[Debi]

16. Um, could I know what the street cred test is before deciding? n/t

[LostinVA]

20. Hmmm.... only a freeper troll would ask that question -- test her SG!!!

[Debi]

25. Whhhhhhaaaaaaa?

:yoiks:

[LostinVA]

28. giggle -- You just passed!

[Debi]

30. But I didn't have a cell phone in my hand!

:rofl:

[LostinVA]

31. I know you were thinking it... how?

BECAUSE UPPITY WOMEN ARE SMART!!!

[Debi]

35. So we're the Smart Uppity Women's Club?

SUWC?

We Suwc? I don't suwc! Must thing of different name.......:think:

[LostinVA]

44. *shudder*

[Debi]

50. We must think in this

If we were rich we could be the profoundly lucrative uppity women's club (pluwc)! :7

[Hell Hath No Fury]

17. I'm in!

Right now on my purse is a button that says "Well behaved women rarely make history."

I think that says it all.

Uppity women (and men) unite!

[LostinVA]

21. You sound like the Rev!

Uppity Men are very welcome in our auxiliary.

[KitchenWitch]

22. You know I am in!

:hi:

[LostinVA]

23. I already put you down on the list!

[Gormy Cuss]

26. I'm in!

Will we get special lapel pins?

[LostinVA]

29. Yes, and WE won't have to wear them through the checkpoint. Why?

BECAUSE WE'RE UPPITY WOMEN, DAMMIT!!! (Sorry, Reverend...)

[jukes]

36. i will definitely apply

for "auxillary" membership. after all, some of us need to know our place!

:hi:

[LostinVA]

45. You are equal with us, just not women

You can bring the kittens for us to play with. BECAUSE UPPITY WOMEN LOVE KITTENS!!!

[jukes]

49. i whip up a mean potato salad, also!

and can make damn good coffee!

[MsUSA]

37. Love it, I'm in.

a :toast: to the uppities!!

[Callalily]

38. Oh, I want to join too!

Look at the cool t-shirt I found. Can we wear something like this? Will our tattoos show?

[LostinVA]

46. WE can get NON-secret tats that will show!

[Callalily]

51. Yay!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[LostinVA]

56. Love the smiley

[lukasahero]

39. I'm uppity

Love you, LiVA.

[LostinVA]

47. Of course you can! And I love you, too!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. I'm IN!

This sounds fabulous!

After all, we are GODDESSES! And goddesses make excellent Uppity Women!

:woohoo: :woohoo:

[LostinVA]

48. You were so already on the list!

[ThomCat]

52. I posted an invitation to the men's auxilory in a new thread

and nobody wants to join. x(

I'll be the host all by myself, damn it.

[lukasahero]

55. You're not holding your breath by any chance, are you?

That might not be so healthy. :rofl:

Nice thought though. And you're not even new here. ;)

[LostinVA]

57. Jukes and a few other do...

[Misunderestimator]

53. You can definitely count me in!

Haughty, arrogant, egomaniacal, opinionated women of the world unite!

[LostinVA]

58. And a sexual deviant, to boot! Now, that's UPPITY

[WindRavenX]

54. Heh heh, proud "uppity bitch" here

:D

[philosophie_en_rose]

59. No PINS required.

:)

[LostinVA]

60. You understand the genesis of the Club

[yellowdogintexas]

63. I gave my daughter "Uppity Women of the Middle Ages" and

Uppity Women of the Renaissance (books) forher 13th birthday. She loved them and still has them. Do I qualify?

I think I was born an uppity woman, actually.

[LostinVA]

69. Of course you do -- and those are great books

[Chovexani]

64. I am so in!

I'm an uppity woman and proud! You know what they say about well-behaved women rarely making history. :D

[Heidi]

66. I don't have to wear stockings, do I?

My blindingly white legs are my chief disability. :blush:

[LostinVA]

70. Only if you really want to... and do you know why?

NO ONE TELLS AN UPPITY WOMAN WHAT TO WEAR!

Does Call Me Wesley want to be in the Auxiliary?

[Heidi]

74. Bravo!

Should I _ask_ Call Me Wesley whether he wants to be in the Auxiliary? Or would an Uppity Woman decide _for_ him? :rofl:

[LostinVA]

75. An Uppity Woman would STRONGLY suggest he join the

Auxiliary. Because Uppity Woman aren't dictatorial... JUST UPPITY!

[Heidi]

77. He says he's honored to have been invited,

and he volunteers to serve in any capacity necessary. :thumbsup:

[LostinVA]

79. Great!

[Heidi]

81. He's resigning his co-presidency of

The Dog Town Garden Club, even as I type this, and clearing his public service agenda in order to create more time for serving the needs of Uppity Women. :evilgrin:

[LostinVA]

84. Tell him I am making lists as we speak....

[MrScorpio]

67. Powah to the Uppity Women!

I'm in!

[LostinVA]

71. Yay!

[peacefreak]

68. Count me in.

My adopted patron saint is St. Librada--first woman crucified for standing by the power of her convictions.

[LostinVA]

72. Extra points for that

[Random_Australian]

73. I'll join the Auxillary...

If I have anything to do with it, it's more likely to be the artillery ;). Heavy hitter FOR uppity women is such a delicious irony, I'd love to try it on the fundies!

Their heads would explode!

[LostinVA]

76. Cool... an international Auxiliary

Welcome to the man from Oz! Maybe you can help us start an Uppity Women Australian Rules Football league!

[Random_Australian]

82. Mere women couldn't play THAT....

Just kidding! Had you going though huh? The ironic thing is that here in Australia it is considered non-violent and unmanly (literally 'sissyball'), because of it's comparison to Rugby League and Rugby Union, the two other types of Australian football.

[LostinVA]

83. *gasp* I almost had to get UPPITY with you, mate!

[In_The_Wind]

78. Is the club still open to new members?

I'll join if it is.

Cause I've been uppity all my life.

[LostinVA]

80. It's ALWAYS open -- welcome!

[In_The_Wind]

85. I do love that word ~ WELCOME. Thank you.

[Lilith Velkor]

86. I'm too uppity for any club

Therefore, Cynthia McKinney truly does represent me. Guess I'm in.

I'm also a member of the Grassy Knoll Society. :hi:

[LostinVA]

90. You do sound UPPITY -- welcome!

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

87. Just don't hit cops.

Even uppity white males have problems when it comes to that.

[jukes]

101. cops

have to open car doors for uppity women. if they get out of place & are chastised, they MUST reply, "thank you ma'am may i have another?"

[vademocrat]

88. Late to the party but I wanna join!

I'm mostly quiet but no less uppity!

[LostinVA]

91. Yay! Another UPPITY Central VAer!

[vademocrat]

96. There are a lot of us uppity women in VA -

I come from a long line of uppity VA women - three cheers for my foremothers!

[LostinVA]

97. I love UPPITY women, especially ones from VA!

[progmom]

:thumbsup:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

92. Can I be uppity if I bring good beer?

:beer:

[LostinVA]

98. Even if you don't, but UPPITY WOMEN love Guinness!

[beyurslf]

94. Put me in the auxillary. We need more "uppity women" IMO.

[LostinVA]

99. Ooooh! Good. We need more men

[Jigarotta]

[LostinVA]
