Poll question: Do you plan to wear a black armband tomorrow?
Tomorrow marks the anniversary of the Iraq War, and I plan on wearing a black armband all day and will close my shop for one hour in protest.

If I ever drop by, can I get a complimentary newspaper and a Rollo?

As a favor to a fellow DUer, of course.

4. Hehe
Of course! I'd probably even let you have a Playboy and 'forget' to check your ID when you bought it. ;)

I don't know where to get a black armband,
but I will be lighting a candle and doing a two-hour sitting meditation for world peace.

22. An inch or so cut from the top of a black sock works well as an armband.

13. Actually, I'm wearing all black tomorrow.
In addition to a small form of protest, I get to disrupt "Hawaiian Shirt Day" at work. I swear to Bob, I sometimes feel like I'm trapped in a cliche from "Office Space".

25. lastyear in the runup to the war...
Edited on Fri Mar-19-04 01:15 AM by LastKnight
me and a few friends wore black arm bands every day for a few days... that lasted about 3 days before we got called down to the office for 'disruptive dress' my friends chickened out, i was ready to go down for it but i suppose a one man protest going down in flames isnt worht me not graduating on time, so i dropped the matter.

but anyway i might be wearing one tommorow, if i do and they make a fuss i guess ill just have to take it off though. i probably wont because they wont give me any warning this time and i wanna dont really wanna get in trouble over something that i have no control over.

-LK
