Yesterday was "Anarchist Frisbee Day." No joke. What I love about that is that they tagged up all this really intense anti-capitalist sentiment on the fountain like "Don't Buy Nike Shoes!" but Frisbee itself is a trademarked, and therefore capitalistic, product.
How sad. If they are really the free-spirited, fun-loving anarchists they pretend to be, why don't they come back the next day and remove all the chalk graffiti they put up?
I'll tell you why. Because it's a lot more work to remove the chalk graffiti than it is to put it up. It'll take a lot of hours and a lot of your public tax dollars to remove this junk - public tax dollars that could be spent on other stuff, like public transit and better bus service or whatever. And in the meantime, leaving it up will attract more graffiti that's not so "fun," because people think using chalk to do graffiti isn't really "harmful," right?
But hey, it's only fun!

Vandalizing public property, with chalk or spray-paint, is an efficient and effective way of raising your voice and getting others to understand your opinion(s).
Those Corporate whores at Wham-O must pay! They co-opted Disk sports from the working class and sold it back to the not-ever-going-to-work-a-day-in-their-lives class!

Anarchy Begins At 50! |

The slogan originated from Bob Black's essay "The Abolition of Work", written in the 1980s. Black, as in the alleged famed "snitch" involved with the Loompanics press (RIP), and founder of the "Last International". Black expressed a serious disdain toward unions, anarcho-syndicalists, Marxists, and anyone else who had a work-centered analysis of "revolution". So, attributing this to anarcho-syndicalists (are there any left?) would be like attributing the 8 hour day to Bolshivism; neither barely exists.
"Workers of the world, unite and do nothing
Workers of the world, unite and relax
Don't get your boss that cup of coffee
Don't write that memo don't send that fax
You shouldn't even pay your income tax"
"Chaos Theory" from the Dead Milkmen's last album. But Google the phrase and you'll see lots of results.

Self-righteous kids doing stupid shit is hardly worthy of a post. Anarchists, frat boys, and young republicans are all annoying side-effects of universities and we should do our best to ignore them.

Oh wait...
Are they Frankie Goes To Hollywood fans by any chance?
More like Tom Robbins I'm guessing.

That's approaching Mark Twain succinct, Giffy. You could really drive it home by lumping in LUGs.
kidding about the last part. Sorry. Had to.
