  • Walking down The Ave and I stop at an intersection. A guy with a clipboard locks eyes with me. Immediately, he says, "Want to help us stop George W. Bush?"

    I have this image in my head of this guy and some friends of his like a defensive line, tackling Bush as he gets off of Air Force One. Ooh, happy, happy thoughtcrime.

    So I ask him: "That depends. Who are you?"

    He goes into a schpiel about the DNC, yadda yadda yadda. He ends with begging for a contribution.

    And it was then that I realized exactly what I had to say. The all-purpose catchphrase for the new millenium: "I gave on the web."

  • They lie, you lie.  It's an equal lie partnership.

  • it would hurt too much to give any money whatsoever to a political party.... therefore, i can honestly claim that i've given 'til it hurts!

  • I'll have to remember that line.

    Regarding your comment, I plan to show no self-restraint whatsoever. In fact, I will be snapping and zooming with feverish abandon. (I'm pathetic, aren't I? Perhaps I need intervention.)

  • Hah, I had the same thing at Whole Foods.  She asked if I wanted to defeat Bush and I said "Yeah!  What can I do to help?" and then she was like "Give the Democrats money." and I'm guessing she caught the sour look on my face as I said "Sorry, nope."

  • Here's the thing: I actually *had* given on the web.

  • good catchphrase. I'll have to remember that. At least she wasn't stopping cars in the street like other donation roadkill does. Or at least I don't think she was, because I wasn't there.

  • Teheeeeeeeeee!  How did he respond to that?  Great answer.

  • tee hee! =O) Love dascha's comment too...=O)

  • Bravo!
