The Raven finds teabags a poor icon

Ill drop the theatricality for just a moment. No, Im not crazy. I am however, young and artistic. I saw generally what sort of person showed up at the 9/12 protests. Old people. Sure, there was a few young ones in there but for the most part the protesters looked like they'd rather be at home tending their flower beds.

Now thats not intended as an insult to anyone who attended or who have flowerbeds. Im trying to tell you, if you want your movement to succeed you need to draw in the younger crowd. Turn the tables on the left and the big govt lovers. They've had the "cool rebel" image for far too long. Kids dont want to associate with a bunch of old fogies, they want to be cool and buck the system.

And the left has also had us beat for far too long on the artistic front. You've heard about Obama wanting to use artists to create propaganda for his big government agenda. it will work too, if you let them. Dry rhetoric about right vs wrong, good vs evil just aint gonna win the hearts and minds of the young people.

Cool stuff will. Ravens are cool.

Now do you get it? Can I go back to being The Raven again?

Well......yes, you can go back to being the Raven again.........however.........if you're trying to drum up support for your movement, it's just about as effective for you to talk in the 3rd person like some insane asshat, as it is to talk about health care by showing up at town hall meetings with assault rifles.

Your choice bird.
 
I find the Raven's posting original and funny! At least he is getting people to listen to his viewpoints!
 
The Raven does not profess to understand the ways of humans very well. The Raven must ask, why use a teabag as your symbol? Does it not only invite the ridicule of your competetors? What noble purpose does a teabag serve? Do teabags instill fear in your enemies? If so, then your enemies are weak indeed and could be easily defeated.

Do teabags fill your flock with pride?

You humans are so strange. Why not adopt The Raven as your symbol instead? Ravens are proud, wily and beautiful. Men fear The Raven. We fufill our sacred duty by consuming that which is corrupt. Is that not your goal? To remove the diseased ones from their eyries?

Go whence the written stories are told. There you will find my flock.

What in the hell are you babbling about? :eusa_eh:

Referring to yourself in the 3rd person annoys the crap out of everybody. If you want to be taken seriously stop doing that.
 
If the Raven stopped doing what you humans find so irritating, then the point would be lost. A lack of imagination will only make the humans seem boring and stodgy to the fledgelings. The Raven knows what it is cawing about. Trust The Raven or at least tolerate it.

You can do almost anything you want. Personally, I think your posts are rather original, but folks will tire of it quickly (and it appears you may not be the first to present themselves in the third person here, so you may be walking into an already thin general patience). There are no holds barred, here.
 
The Raven is no stranger to human behavior. It plans to feast on the entrails of your corrupt leaders, so it had to study its prey. It knows what to expect and is not afraid.

The fine line between bravery and stupidity is not easily defined, but then porn isn't easily defined either, but I know when I see it.

No, but please continue to be yourself. I enjoyed this post but your others? I didn't do more than skim because of that third person shit. It's sooo five minutes ago and it's been done far better than what you present.

The Raven knows what it is doing. Remember what it said about being boring and stodgy. You will never succeed in your goals unless you learn to be more thoughtful. The fledgelings will go over to the other side where humans are allowed to be artistic and inventive.
 


The KittenKoder requested that The Raven make the image smaller, or remove the poetry. It chose the poetry because the imagery is the whole point of The Raven. Is this not sufficient for the Marauder?
Midnight Marauder doesn't care what you do with your sig. Midnight Marauder was merely trying to be helpful. If Midnight Marauder was bothered by the sig, he would simply AdBlock it.

However, the Midnight Marauder cares about his fellow USMBites, and knows many of them have slow connections, and your sig at 84kb might be a "load" for some of them.

Therefore the Midnight Marauder gives you a reduced-size image, one also that when you link it here does not identify you in its properties.

Because the Midnight Marauder is most considerate, gentle and nice.

The Raven accedes to the Marauder's demand
There was no demand, therefore no acquiescence necessary. You merely graciously accepted the Midnight Marauder's gift.

The Midnight Marauder will now edit your identifying information out of his previous post, just to be even nicer.
