I think I saw Dancing Bear at a Dead show.

Too bad my latest story idea is fictitious, because out of context it'd be everything that VOICE would love. A prisoner transport ship crash lands on Earth, and some of the prisoners escape in the chaos; their handlers(including a space cowgirl) put the unescaped prisoners to work on the farm they crash in while they try to recapture the escapees and repair the ship.In other words, we got illegal aliens breaking Earth's atmosphere(a.k.a. Earth's border wall), bringing crime and taking American jobs. It's not meant to be erotic, though I'm sure someone in this administration would be rock hard hearing about this.

Um, I think MM,tap is suggesting that callers, for example, say 'hello. this is Howling Wolf. I want to report the mass murder of over a hundred people, men, women and children, at Sand Creek, in Colorado by a huge band of invaders. Now, I realize some time has passed, but I believe there is no time limit on prosecution for murder..." There are hundreds of events to choose from. One could stick to current events (Standing Rock - graveyard desecration, treaty violation, threat to vital resources; or Malheur - where a sensitive archaeological site was bulldozed in part so that invaders could *literally* crap in it)

There are already some DACA Dreamers who have been victimized by an organized gang. They go by "ICE" and I believe they flash a gang-sign that is a fully charged taser. I could be wrong, I only know of them from new reports.

It's not hurting them to listen to silly phone calls. I mean, they have to be there anyway, it's their job. Personally, if I HAD to work for the Trump administration, I'd rather be party to some nonsense phone calls than racist profiling.

Prank calling will certainly poison their attempts at data collection. I bet they wanted to wave some papers at us and say, "SEE! We got X number of phone calls about the bad foreigners! They are so bad!" Now they can't.

It's the equivalent of the "Do you have Prince Albert in a can?" or "Is your refrigerator running?" joke call. It's not funny the first time, and when you have to hear people hour after hour who think they're the first ones to think of it....

I hear phone banks in India are still cheap.

Sometimes I don't read comments for a couple days, and then look back at them when I'm procrastinating on Dear Shitferbrains. What I'm saying is that I certainly hope Jed Bartlet never decides to kick my ass.

I read that as they're taking our verbs, but was ready to dispute it instantly, because I see two verbs right there.
