Tips for the Hoards of Protesters Descending on the City of Pittsburgh for the G20 Summit
Don't touch my stuff.
We just cleaned, so try not to mess up anything.
You can make a right on red, sometimes.
Some of our sandwiches have french fries and cole slaw on them, other's don't. You won't be able to tell because you'll probably be too busy breaking things.
Carrying a trophy around in whatever march you're forming will provide a calming reassurance to residents--our parades usually have trophies in them.
Your protests won't change anything.
No one around here uses the T, so if you want to blend in you shouldn't either.
Get a job.

At work, there were a bunch of guys from the Army and National Guard activated to provide security at G-20. I talked to my friend Scott the other day about it (since I was out of town for the whole thing) and he had a great tale to tell.
Evidently, the Green Peace protestors hung a sign that said something to the effect of, "We are Green Peace, and this is our peaceful protest. Please let us be here from the hours of 10-11:30. Thank you." At 11:30, the Pgh Police showed up to take them away. Scott said the Green Peacers were ridiculously open with information. The cop asked them how they got to Pittsburgh and a guy said, "Well we all came together in a black Suburban, but I think you guys towed it."
This is what I love. The Green Peace people DROVE from D.C. to Pittsburgh to protest. In a giant SUV. Not a Prius, not a Mini Cooper. A Suburban.
I couldn't stop laughing and had to share. Best hypocrisy I've heard in weeks!
