From BufordP: "I call him Billy-Bob because his name is Bill and I keep calling him Bob. Or is it the other way around. I keep forgetting. So I call him Billy-Bob just to be safe.
"Billy-Bobbity-Bill is a regular at Trooprally's Saturday Freeps in Olney, MD. And he can always be counted to show for Walter Reed.

From Mr Trooprally: "With BMWcyle running late, I took up the positions of 'Burma Shave Sign Protecter'. BMWcyle has done such a good job on previous Fridays, my job was easy. Just sit and smoke the cigars that BufordP brought. No 'cheap' Garcia y Vegas tonight.
"It was quiet though. Not realizing I would be filling in for BMWcyle, there was no music to listen to and iritate the Pinkos. Bruce did get out his guitar, but I couldn't hear anything because he had no amplifier.
"One Pinko, who never held a sign, just walked around and smoked his cigarettes, took my picture. He was fun to watch. When he first set up, a pedistrian walk down the street between us. He was in no rush, so the Pinko stood there for a few minutes till he passed. Then, when he finally took my picture, he snatched up his tripod with such an arrogant 'Got Your Picture' attitude, that I chuckled out loud.

"I also had fun watching Citizen Smash talking to the Pinkos. The Pinko minder hung close to Smash. Smash spent most of his time (probably 45 minutes or more) talking to Large Marge. We may have to change her name because the Pinkos roving 'diet' is actually working for her.
"Several FReepers came down to watch with me and keep me company. They

After learning from fellow warrior Isaac that the commies gave $650G to the insurgents in Fallujah, WR Warriors Andrew, Keith and P.D. also went down to have a chat with the Pinkos. They got the usual runaround from Bruce and Weasel.

"What about Darfur?" Boing! Goes the conversation in another direction. "You're killing us in Darfur!" tgslTakoma was essentially dumbfounded by Victor. As were the rest of us.

Late in the evening we had an encounter with a drunken Bush-hater driving a Ford Crown Vic. I was on the SW corner when it happened. He stopped his car in front of the MOAB on the NE corner and got into a shouting match with JVB. You'll have to get the straight scoop from him later. All I know is the jerk wanted to know something about what the Bush twins were doing as in "why weren't they fighting in Iraq". He real jewel he was.
When the bus finally came, it was loaded with more kids than before. There were also numerous ballons. It is really tough in the darkness for the D.C. Chapter's photo Department to get inside bus pictures of the wounded and their families. But to have them, and the kids, gleefully wave back is just about the most rewarding thing I've ever experienced."
