Free Tin Hat!!!

Day 2,659, 20:12 • Published in USA USA • by PilotPhil

Well there certainly has been a lot of activity around the Socialist Freedom Party offices. We have lots of new faces running around doing revolutionary stuff and it is really quite exciting. We finally had to clean out a couple of storage rooms to make space for a few of new folks. Shilo sent me to IKEA to buy new desks and that was fun. I got some yummy spaghetti and meatballs while I was there. Mmmmmm.



They didn’t actually have any soup, but Ghost of Tom Joad made some of his amazing homemade stuff for all of us in the office to enjoy.



I tasked nick.berman and Wooky with putting the desk together as sort of a rookie hazing kind of thing. After hearing a lot of cursing and grunting from the back I decided I better take a look. This is what they had done.



Seriously didn’t their parents buy them Legos when they were little? How can two really smart, capable people fail so miserably at something that reasonably simple? They both have many amazing skills, but apparently construction isn’t one of them. I asked Wooky and nick to head back to the Bear Cavalry compound to check on the new commune workers.. That is something that I know they do very well and the commune is really helping out a lot of the BC members new and old. If anyone is interested in joining BC and the commune we are always looking for more soldiers by the way.



Much to the chagrin of MaryamQ, Artela and a few others, I decided that the pingpong table would be requisitioned as temporary desk space to use for party business purposes as the new desk thing didn’t really pan out. Once everyone realized that they weren’t getting the pingpong table back they decided to do some actual work and put out some pretty great articles. Here are a few…

Things to do in Denver When You're Dead
Interview with Artela
Bot Farms? What Bot Farms?
People Watching and Patriotism
And many more....

With the kitchen finally cleaned up from the Valentine’s day cookie and chocolate fiasco things were really starting to run smoothly. Almost too smoothly. Things were too quiet. I wandered down the hall to see who else was around. Kevin Sheridan was in the recruiting office going over the Socialist Freedom Party Handbook with a few of the new guys, and Recks was there fitting a couple of new Bear Cavalry uniforms. Shilo was in his office pretending to look busy. Jude was in there too and when those two are in a room together the lingering blue haze that sometimes surrounds them is just a little bit thicker… I am sure they were being productive doing something, eating Cheetos probably. Or Funyuns.



I decided to head down the the Bear Cavalry compound to see what was going on. There was lots of activity there too. Regiment One Captain Cody Caine was drilling some of the troops. I heard some commotion from the metal shop and ducked my head in. Franklin Stone was busily constructing a bunch more tin hats. Apparently the orders for these things are pouring in after his latest article and he had to whip up a new batch. Newly minted Regiment Two Captain Kevin Sheridan was a little upset that Franklin was using the BC shop for non-BC business and a heated discussion had started. I explained to Kevin that here at SFP/BC we are all one. You don’t have to belong to both to be a member of either one. It is what we do and how we operate. It works. Franklin offered to make him a special “Captain” tin hat and that seemed to put the issue at rest.



After a long day of doing revolutionary stuff a bunch of us decided to go get a drink at the bar down the street. Our favorite bartender was there


and we all got to talking about how far we had come in such a short time. The general consensus was that things are busier than they have been in quite a while but it is really a fun time here. We didn’t talk much about the whispers of SFP/BC trying to take over the government, or import a bunch of foreigners or run bots or whatever because those things simply aren’t true. Those things are laughable actually, and crazy accusations such as those just make the accusers look foolish. We will let them continue to look the fool if that is what they want to do. We will continue to fight for what is right and welcome any eCitizen new or old to join us in our quest for openness and freedom.

If you are a free thinking individual, really active or simply a two clicker looking for a new place to call home, drop on by and check us out. We would love to show you around. Franklin has even promised to make each new member a shiny new tin hat free of charge! Even if you decide you don’t want to stick around, you can keep the hat as a reminder of the great time you had with the Socialist Freedom Party and Bear Cavalry. Come take a look!





Note: Shortly after returning from the bar and writing this article the phone started ringing off the hook and the fax machine began spitting out reams of reports. Apparently there is something big happening...
