For Uppity Women and Gentlemen's Auxilliary, Take 2:

Being a touch uppity myself, I attempted to identify the other Uppity Women, as well as the gentlemen in the auxiliary.

For reasons I'm refusing to disclose, I got it wrong. I’m pretty sure it’s still wrong, but I’m just uppity enough to try again anyway. :shrug:



Thank you to Simply Fugue for providing the best definition of uppity, suggesting that an “Uppity Gene” exists:

"In the early Pleistocene (1970), when I began identifying and writing about the women of long ago, I came to see that the most remarkable trailblazers no matter what sort of hand life had dealt them shared certain traits: flexibility; humor; a strong sense of self-worth; everyday courage; and an extra measure of vitality or life force. The very same qualities are abundant in the spirited uppity women of today. Coincidence? Or further proof of Uppity DNA? You decide."—Vicki Leσn


LostinVA’s motto fits perfectly:
"We're uppity! We're proud! And we women can get loud! Got a problem with that?!"


We’re way too uppity to agree on a drink. Nevertheless, Joan_Alpern has provided a lovely picture of a mojito for us.




The list will follow … and then you can all scrutinize it again! :hide:

My motto: If you have a problem with a strong woman, then you're weak.

It's too late for me to edit my post. :( Darn! And I was hoping it would be right this time. :banghead: (That' me getting uppity.)

I like your motto! :yourock:

Only the most uppity woman would have such high organizational standards for such a wonderfully uppity list of people. ;) It's obviously a gene issue.

We need a mojito toast smilie by the way. Who can we call to make that happen?

:shrug:

Joan_Alpern has some pretty great smileys -- maybe her source could make that mojito toast happen. :toast:

shrinking violets on DU

:shrug:

:rofl:

:bounce:

Is that as uppity as you get? :D

for the reference you require here :rofl:

Where's your sense of adventure? :rofl:

i been round here longer than that :-)

:rofl: :yourock:

:headbang:

However, I believe all differences should be resolved by armwrestling and target spitting, so what do I know. :D

But there will be no armwrestling and target spitting or you'll see just how uppity we can get! :D

Kudos to you Robb. :mojitotoast:

:thumbsup:

Wanna join the auxiliary? :bounce:

Initiation ceremony?

Parties?

I'm in!

Maybe,

and You never can tell.

:hi:

Welcome, GOPisEvil! At this point, it's possible that an uppity woman might require something of you. That would count as initiation. Be alert and good luck! :woohoo:

I haven't been doing the rituals. :scared: But Joani's having a party! :bounce:

I hope it wasn't too uppity for me to put your motto in the OP ... What am I saying? Is there such a thing as TOO uppity? :D

See how secret the rituals are? You're doing them without even knowing it...

I guess uppity women just do them naturally! :D

This uppity woman thinks he's the best. :)

:o

:blush:

:D

Anyone opposed, speak now! :bounce:

:rofl: Read above ... we need a :mojitotoast: smiley. You got one?

I think we were thinking of something just a LITTLE smaller ... you know, like :toast: only with mojito! :rofl:

But, hey, we can work with that! :rofl:

i might fall out of my chair

But make sure you have lots of pillows around. :rofl: You're making me jealous. :rofl:

while you're drunk? Damn, you're good! One thing, though -- when you find that bed, make sure you put your foot down to keep it from spinning. Otherwise, you'll puke. :silly:

*scratching my head* that looks like a ceiling to me. *looking puzzled* Maybe I need to look at a larger picture.

Who needs alcohol when we have Joani! :rofl:

Your bed is very cool and I really like the tapestry picture thingy behind it -- but there's no floor in sight. Perhaps that's your point! :rofl:

If one foot is touching the floor, 1/2 my body is out of bed.

:hi:

She was in charge of the mojito pic. :hi:

BTW, are you asking as a potential auxiliary member?

I luvs mee sum uppity wimmenzzz!!!

:bounce: Thanks for reporting, Mister no name! :hi:

Peace and love, baby

:loveya:

Peace and love to you! :loveya: :hug:

Because I sure am an uppity woman. :D

missing the original threads is probably the most uppity thing you could have done! You have passed the test and will definitely be added. Keep your eye out for the next one ... oh, nevermind! It won't do any good to tell you what to do. :D

:thumbsup:

I THOUGHT not.

:P

And we like that!

Check out Uppity Blues Women! Awesome.

In particular "No Need Pissin' On A Skunk"

And a mojito toast to all of you this fine morning.
