1. All right, I'll bite. I have no idea what that means.

Is it 1984 related? Or a proposition number? :shrug:

Just sayin, while I tend to sometimes miss the stunningly obvious, I live here and on HuffPo/Common Dreams/etc and it's not ringing my bell, so it's likely that a lot of others wouldn't grok what they were seeing. The meme has to make sense to the rabble in order to catch on and spread.

3. It's been around DU for years

86 is slang for tossing something in the garbage
43 - Bush
42 - Clinton
41 - Bush I
etc

4. Ah. I see it now. Perhaps a dash? 86-43?

Still a bit cryptic, I have to agree with a poster below. Though the lure MIGHT be that people do like puzzles and the asking "What's that about?" would be a good conversation starter.

I like ITMFA a little better, lol. I want to put that in our window, but we got ordered to remove our Elect Marilyn Manson sign from our window (though our neighbors were allowed to keep MANY John Kerry signs, I asked them and they got no such nastygram from the landlord who hates us about "No political signs are allowed")

EDIT: I've been here for I forget how long posting, and probably two years or so lurking, but again, sometimes stuff goes in my eyes and escapes somehow through some other hole in my head : )

6. ITMFA?

Yes, it is cryptic. Just the way my mind works, I guess. But you're right about it getting people to work their brain on it!

What's ITMFA? :shrug:

7. well 86 is exactly double 43

so if you can think of some cute analogy dealing with 'half' then it'll be that extra step ahead

like
cut oil profits in half, 86 43

5. Just rolls right off the tongue

10. I'm considering sending $86.43 to the DNC

Maybe it would help to get the message across.
