It's time for a revolution. Who's with me?

What are we revolting against?

[j4.livejournal.com]

Bah, petty details! We're revolting against everything that's wrong with the world.

[brrm.livejournal.com]

Can I revolve?

[celestialweasel.livejournal.com]

Will there be PIE?

[kake]

Me! I would like to revolt against cucumber.

[oldbloke.livejournal.com]

First thing to do is form a committee!

[nja.livejournal.com]

I'm freeing my mind instead.

(Actually I am having a bed-in).

[djw.livejournal.com]

I'm just revolting.

This is the sort of thing for which we should hold a protest at which we show up with blank signs.

(nb: actually doing this around Scientology offices sends 'em wild.)

Well, I've got the time if you've got the slogans?

“The first step in a successful revolution is to destroy all competing revolutionaries.”

Sure :) Are you coming to my birthday gathering BTW?

[j4.livejournal.com]

Yes. Lots and lots of pie.

I was wondering just the other day what happens if you freeze cucumbers, actually: whether they would shatter when whacked against something, being as how they're mostly water & therefore would basically just be amusingly-shaped icicles. And then that led my brain into other places, and, er, yes. MORE RESEARCH NEEDED.

Er, anyway, yes. Revolt away!

I would like to revolt against revolting against cucumber!

*applauds*

Why don't I have a graceful kind of userpic, oh, yes, that'd be why. Sigh.

[atreic.livejournal.com]

I'm up for it.

Err, so long as it's the sort of revolution that doesn't take away too many of my creature comforts and gives me a house.

*tries to grow a backbone*

You and nou's comment notifications appeared in my inbox right next to each other, so 'nou' and 'uon' were lined up, like with the rotational symmetry thing properly showing! It made me go "aw!"

And, not necessarily relatedly, see above re cucumber.

Having inadvertently let the cucumber get up against the cold element of my previous landlord's malfunctioning fridge, let me warn you not to go there. Defrosted cucumber is certainly revolting. Cf prunes poo gosh thogh the generallissimo prunes leaping with drawn sward down the throate of GRIMES the head is an imadge that all right-thinking boys will rememmber and cheer huray huray.

Don't worry, comrade, the Movement will feed you and house you.

Failing that, we have a sofabed, & in the event of Revolutionary Doom I reckon it can have inflatable things attached to the bottom of it and double as a raft. So don't worry! Also, you're only little, you'd be quite a long way down the list of "people to eat when we run out of food".

Eep, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't -- I am in Reading that afternoon for another birthday party & while I could probably do Reading/Oxford parties in the same day I think Reading/Cambridge is a bit tricky given crapness of trains... :-{ Sorry! Have a great birthday anyway...

I suppose you have no choice but to revolutionize the world. (http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Revolutionary_Girl_Utena)

let the cucumber get up against the cold element

That would be a face pyjama, were it not for the food content (assuming you count cucumbers as such).

my previous landlord's malfunctioning fridge

That, however, clearly counts, and can't be disqualified under any existing criteria of which I am aware. Of. Which.

Anyway. You would have to be careful to use the cucumber before it defrosted, and then CAST IT ASIDE like a used, er, cucumber.

Prunes are delicious, and were a rare treat when I was a child. For the record, I also like semolina, tapioca, cabbage, and sprouts, though not all at once.
