Well, actually, it depends on what the definition of "serenade" is. From our perspective, it was sweet music, kind of opera-like, or hearing Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the U.S.A.". To the moonbats, it was like screeching, worn down, brake drums, or hearing that the surge is working.
BELOW LEFT: Doctor Raoul asking the moonbats to sign the Al Queda Peace Accord and dedicate themselves to committing suicide if it fails. BELOW RIGHT: Kristinn repeatedly bring home the point that "The Surge IS Working". Both pointed out the 'quackers' lies over the years. Lurker Bill is in back ground while our supporters wave from the passing car.
BELOW LEFT: Kristinn waiting for Doctor Raoul to finish his 'serenade'. BELOW RIGHT: The moonbats (on far corner) listening to Doctor Raoul and Kristinn while a passing SUV waves to us. The bikers stopped at the light, didn't say anything to the moonbats, at least not that we heard, but they sure waved their support to us once the light turned green and they drove passed us.
BELOW LEFT: In anticipation of Lurker Bill and daughter, and [Mrs]T and I not being in Olney next week, LoRo, Cindy_True_Supporter and VictoryNY learn how to put up one of the Olney banners BELOW RIGHT: Lurker Bill's daughter is already an expert in setting up our banners.
BELOW LEFT: Lurker Bill helping LoRo to put the finishing touches on one of our banners. BELOW RIGHT: Banners all up, CHECK, flags all up, CHECK, Doctor Raoul's dual sound system up, font color="green">CHECK, every one has their signs, font color="green">CHECK, looks like we are ready to go. Lets rumble, oops, sorry, LETS "SUPPORT OUR TROOPS"!!!
And Support our Troops we did. The 11 FReepers and Lurkers in attendance today vs the sometime 6 moonbats were Lurker Bill and daughter, (L.B.'s Daughter), Cindy_True_Supporter (CTS), , Mrs. Trooprally ([Mrs] T), and myself ([Mr] T). Pics are by [Mrs] T.
BELOW LEFT: GunsAreOK hamming it up. He took up position on our far left flank, beyond Lurker Bill and his daughter. BELOW RIGHT: And to not be in competition with Doctor Raoul's dual sound system, our far right flank is occupied by CTS, L. B.'s daughter, VictoryNY and LoRo shout to the passing cars. For those who have attended either Walter Reed or the Olney FReeps, you know the reputation of these troop supporters to liven up the corner.
BELOW LEFT: L.B.'s daughter, being shorter and looking to stand out among the many supporters who were in Olney today, she took to the "high ground". BELOW MIDDLE & RIGHT: Some of L.B.'s daughter's supporters.
BELOW LEFT: The lady in blue talking to LoRo and L.B.'s daughter is a Blue Star Mom. She is one on several people that stop by each week to thank us for being there. Later, she talked to [Mrs] T. BELOW RIGHT: CTS waving to a supporter while easily holding two signs. CTS is well know for holding several signs at once. For some of our Support the Troops Rallies opposite the moonbats in D.C., she has taped two double sided signs together, creating a flip sign so she has 4 different messages on it. Depending on her mood and the situation, she'll just flip to the message she wants.
BELOW: Some of our supporters passing us and showing their support.
Next week, BufordP will be writing the AAR. Come on out to Olney and help him, ELLE MCPHERSON, and the others Support Out Troops FReepers. Hopefully someone will have a camera.
REMEMBER
Next Saturday, same place, Georgia Avenue, MD Rte. 97 and MD Rte. 108 in Olney
NEW TIME - 10:15 AM to 11:45 AM
As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.
But a lot of verbal engagement in Olney is always welcome.
If you live in northern VA and want a short cut to Olney See Post 39 Here. It's an easy 20 minute drive from the American Legion Bridge.
A special Thanks to a FReeper FRiend for enhancing the original plain type directions.
The Archive of Olney FReeps is here or in the LINKS section of Trooprally's ABOUT Page.

'NUF SAID!
Great job guys!
bttt
Thanks.
From your Profile page, you and Guns should talk, if you two don’t already know each other.
[Mr] T
Great job! *APPLAUSE*
Thank You from the Olney gang.
If “Daughter” needs more Beanie Babies to add to her support group (loved that pix!) FreepMail me with a mailing address and I’d LOVE to send her a few of mine. :)
A 47 year old woman with a bunch of Beanie Babies is just sad, don’t you think? LOL!
I only collect the “dog” Beanies. I had to draw the line somewhere, but I have plenty of duplicates that need a good home, and they can help to ‘Support The Troops’ at your future rallies, too. ;)
There was a very elderly moonbat who tried the "enlist"rhetoric on me and I insisted she take the pledge. She dropped her jaw about a foot. Boy was she pissed.
I also mentioned that the organization that distributes the "WAR IS NOT THE ANSWER" signs evacuated their DC HQ building on 9/11. If they are for peace then they should have stayued in that building. After all, RUNNING AWAY ISN'T THE ANSWER either.
wow I wish I could be there with you all.. Great pix!
and Guns - wow, you are losing weight. Lookin' good man! Glad you are able to get there as often as you do
A BIG thank you for the "treasure" that arrived in today's mail. Mr & Mrs. T... Whoopie! using it now! smoocheroo!
I got home tonight just in time to see this report before dreamland...now I will be awake re-reading it again!!
Good Work Freepers!
Glad to see my old friends the Doctor and Kristinn are still at it.
Haven't posted in a long time due to a severe illness..but am better now and gearing up for future FReeps.
As I always used to say FanFReepintastic!!!!
Exactly, quackers are nothing but parasites living under the protection that others provide.
DR - Thanks for the correction. Sorry about getting it wrong. I should bring my note book as I used to and not rely on memory.
[Mr] T
We’ll check with Lurker Bill, Thanks
[Mr] T
I had the pleasure of meeting some of these folks.....they are good solid folks. THANK YOU!
ALL - The "treasure" is a mouse pad of the Olney Signs and banner. But you have to attend an Olney FReep to get one. DollyCali attended a cold December FReep to get hers.

Sorry about keeping you awake last night. \sarc off
At least I know the AARs are exciting and won't bore FReepers.
Thanks for all your support in Olney.
[Mr] T
FReeper Class of 1998 - I heard a good class of FReepers joined in ‘98, but your all’s FReeps and reputations speak louder than words.
Yea, the Olney gang is great. And it changes FReepers every week so we don’t see the same old faces.
[Mr] T
But I'm sure you already know that. Just informing first timers to the AAR.
