Not that there is anywhere to go.

Every turkey day a marathon here that runs right past my house.

Cops close all the streets to traffic.

I hate it, I want to go drive around for a while.

Just do it. To hell with em, when stopped, ask them "Am I being detained?"

Get in your Subaru and ease your way through the crowd. Gun it if anyone make a furtive movement.

Too cold for no pants Thursday.

Maybe go setup a table at the end of the driveway and clean some rifles.

Just get out there and run with them.

The opposite way

What could go wrong?

I got nothing, really. What about people that have to work today? How do they get out?

Sit in your porch naked and stroking it, when they run by, stand up with a raging boner and cheer the runners on. I'd bet next year they choose a different street to close and run down. You can thank me then.

Now is a good time for an "exposure", if you know what I mean.

If you know it's going to happen, plan on being elsewhere next time for a day or else just buy a bunch of beer, snacks a nd hole up for a couple of hours.

Just drive away. If you get pulled over tell the cop that you have a constitutional right to drive away. Also tell them that you are a constitutional law professor so you know that you can drive through.

Had that happen last year to a friend of mine on a Saturday. We were all going out to ride our Supermotos ( dirt bikes with street tires ) and they had his entire neighborhood closed off, We just rode between the cones onto the course right to his place ( slowly ), picked him up and rode about a mile down the course ( once again slowly ) to get out of his area.

The course workers waiving at us constantly was kind of funny, I kept waving back.

They have one of those runs the next county over in October in a very rural area, lots of farms.

LOL....They learned real quick to share the road with Farmer John. He was not having any part of that closing the road BS when there was cattle to be fed.

Yell at the slow runners and make fun of them , I bet that reduces the turnout next year

Shoot the runners with a marshmallow bazooka.

It's a little late now, but a nice carpet of marshmallows died dark brown could have added a little entertainment as the runners try to navigate the barricade.

That's a 4 headed sago palm the wife cuts back because the fronds get a white fungus or something growing on them.

It is actually pretty valuable I guess, someone offered us $1500 for it one time.

Those are very tightly trimmed Sago palms (which are really cycads).

This is the United states and you are not free to leave your home because we have allowed thugs whose kid robbed a store to RULE.

Get out the brinkman and smoke up the whole block. Smoke a bunch of jalopenos. Also have a firepit to keep warm.

You should have sold it and turned it into an Aug, Tavor, ARX 100, really nice AR, or average AR with a nice optic.

Just put on your Guy Fawkes mask and tell the cops you need to get to Ferguson.

I'm sure they'll be happy to let you through.

I am sure that would generate another "ARFCOM curse" thread.
