Semper Fidelis Semper Gumby, how OWS is like the United States Marines.
Edited on Sat Nov-19-11 07:25 PM by Fumesucker
Semper Fidelis for those few who may not know means Always Faithful.

OWS is faithful to the people, the 99%, need I say more?

Semper Gumby is a play on Semper Flexibilis which means Always Flexible, it has become an unofficial motto of the Marines.

Improvise, adapt and overcome, that's what Marines do, that's what OWS does.

The 1% made a major mistake, there are plenty of us here just as smart as they are but didn't get as many breaks.

The Bat Signal was Semper Gumby, the floating tents were Semper Gumby.

The students accepting pepper spray and shaming their torturers, because that was clearly torture, were Semper Gumby.

Scott Olsen is Semper Gumby.

Oorah!

2. A spontaneous march is Semper Gumby
I was worried you meant the Monty Python Gumby.
