What the hell is an "Ooga Booga Smooga Wooga" you ask? In honor of the march on DC...
Edited on Fri Jan-26-07 10:55 PM by helderheid
It started on a thread Stellanoir posted about thinking positively before the 2004 election...The machines were rigged but the power of positive thought is strong.

Then, something magical happened. ;) A skeptic and a believer found a common chant!

To all you who are marching for us in DC, OOGA BOOGA SMOOGA WOOGA! (OBSW = Oh Bull Shit W!)

10. hmmm
I tend to bookmark all my threads and the only OBSW gear pict in any of those was troubleinwinter's first response to one of them that I failed to bookmark. The search function is scarcely giving me half of my stuff right now. :shrug:

But the good news on my end is that my "prodigal" son is totally psyched about modeling his new OBSW T shirt for a MAJOR photo opp.

His idea is to hold my OBSW mug to his forehead and mimic physically "The Thinker" (the sculpture).

So he was pretty funny striking the pose in advance.

But as you know, creative artists can be somewhat tempermental. He insisted that the T shirt be laundered and shrunk in the dryer first. Well I dutifully did that but we won't get it together for a shot until early next week.

He's got a busy weekend.

Now. . .my kingdom for the appropriate backdrop. . .in the frigid cold no less.

We'll work it out though. :)

I can't believe how fast they were delivered to my home!

4. helderheid, would you consider making a "Ooga Booga Smooga Wooga!" avatar...
for anyone who wants to use it?

I think that it would be great!

17. Shrunk it to DU recommendations.
(maximum size = 3 KBytes, recommended dimensions 48x48 pixels)

I can make it a bit larger.

Hope you're feeling better today.

20. Whoa!
Your second and third pics are beautiful. Probably doesn't feel near as good as it looks. :(

Does that happen often?

22. Every winter. We are a valley surrounded by mountains so the pollution gets trapped until we have a
storm. Above it is beautiful. In it is scary. The air is yellow and I cannot see the mountains :(
