Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) Best idea ever, plus, I allready have the dreadlocks, so all I need is hat, eyepatch, beard, parrot and rum.
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) Win idea is win. I like the sounds of this very very much. I find the SeaOrg laughable to the extremes
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) I'm all for it, but this MUST be held on September 19.
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) Hell yes anon! Time to bring the lulz back to the fight. That's what most of us joined the ranks for, after all. Roll out the booty, grog and wenches, time to broadside those scurvy scilon dogs!
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) yeah but we can't have swimsuits in september (although international talk like a pirate day is good, we can do it twice possibly)
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) Best idea ever! This is going to be uber fun. I don't know if I can wait 'till September! Though it would make more sense, what with talk like a pirate day and all.
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) How about we have this in september, and save the swimsuits and precious sunny months for this?
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) Talk like a Pirate Day is on a Friday. Any way to make it doable then, though? Maybe shift it to the evening and pirate party it up until the wee hours?
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) I reckon we do it in June. At least we all like the idea now. By September there might be something more scandalous or funny to do. And talking like a pirate is something we can do in September anyway, as a slightly different theme to Sea Org.g And I want max lulz in June!
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) September inmho would be much better cause it fits with the talk like a pirate day ... and we already had FSM People and people of the Pirate Party at several Protests in Europe and i think they would love to join Anon ... either way win idea is win i fucking love this idea!!!:duel:
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) I <3 this idea. I mean, who doesn't love pirates? I wouldn't worry too much about it having to be in Sept. for talk like a pirate day, most people don't know that day exists, so it's not like doing it earlier would be negative.
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) Instead of swords, maybe we could use loaves of baguette bread: Baguette - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This is a baguette sword...it is made of dough and lulz.
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) This sounds great! Someone mentioned it to me today, and loved the sound of it straightaway. I'm not sure if Sea.org has blessed the UK with its presence, but whether or not it has, I'm happy to go along with some Brightonfags, or travel somewhere nearby for it. Is there going to be one in London though? London's had great turnouts for protests in the past, but given that's it miles away from the coastline, is SeaOrg all that relevant? I know it's part of the Co$ and there's a massive Church and celebrity centre in London, but pirates don't quite fit the London scene. Or am I being a party pooper?
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) I think this definitely needs to be a June theme. With Operation FairGameStop in May and Operation Sea Arrrrgh! in June we're going to get a lot of excitement back. Everyone's really liking this theme and I'd hate to shelve it for months.
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) *trades anon suit for pirate outfit (incidentally better suited for warmer weather)
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) I luv this for June, it will get lots of people joining in and I can't see a good reason to leave it till September. It's brilliant!!! Sea ARRRGH!!! I haven't stopped laughing since this thread started. Ho ho ho the cult must go!!!!
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) Swords of bread? My God, the hilarity doesn't end with this concept.
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) June it is I reckon! What about a date? 2nd Sat in June?
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) I've updated the OP requesting that people help us determine a date and included instructions NOT to bring swords or muskets (though baguettes would be fine )
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) Oh My God! From: Scientology holidays - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia June 6: Maiden Voyage Anniversary The church describes this holiday thus: "On this date in 1988, the Sea Org Motor Vessel Freewinds began her maiden voyage, during which New OT VIII was released publicly. In memory of that day, OT VIII completions convene aboard the Freewinds for a week of special briefings and acknowledgments to new OT VIII completions for their work in disseminating and expanding Scientology." If nothing else, this confirms that we MUST do this in June. June 7th then?
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) I just heard about this and I can't express how much I love the idea. Pirates vs. Navy? It's a great concept that's full of both SRS BSNS and lulz. Pirates are just mainstream enough to attract lots of media attention, and who could possibly walk by 100+ pirates without stopping to see what's up?
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) Our job now is to get viral and get this message out to everyone. I am getting an idea for a promotional video, which I will try to have put together soon if I can find the time.
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) I hope this is done on the 21st, but that's a completely selfish desire because I'll already be in Chicago and I can get in on one of the big events.
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) I vote June 14th. June 7th may be smack dab next to the Maiden Voyage Anniversary, but I'd really like to have at least a full month inbetween protests, even if it is just a few extra days.
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) Holy Xenu, yes. I love this idea. All in favour, say YARRRRRRR! Also, you think all these pirates will solve global warming?
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) YARRRRR! We are truly blessed by the watchful eye of ceiling cat and our benevolent Marcabian leaders. Also, alternate flag as requested through PM. http://www.captainslug.com/temp/sci/sea_arrrgh_op.jpg There are 4 whole weeks inbetween May 10th and June 7th because May has 5 Saturdays this year. The 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th, and 31st.
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) DC anon have been working up some really awesome Sea-Org related stuff-- go through this thread to see it-- and oh, would a Sea Org vs. pirates battle be amazing. Especially if the weapon of choice was water balloons. I really wanted to do a beach party/luau for June, but I kind of like this better. Ooh. Then again-- how about the Sea Org invites some partygoers aboard the lovely Freewinds (with complimentary asbestos!), only to be attacked by pirates? Then we can have Hawaiian shirts, the Sea Org, *and* pirates. Of course, having a protest with a plot seems a little too complicated. ...possibly this is all part of my scheme to trick male anons into wearing coconut bras to the protest. Possibly.
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) Don't dare me. I'll accept. And you'll regret it.
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) Am I the only one who thinks that anon is going overboard on the Themed weeks? I think that we could definitly benefit from a general protest where the main theme is just fun and info. We can spread general info on scientolgy while just having fun! At least 2 or 3 indy anon I talked to thought of the same thing, but I thought that it should be brought to the attention of the IHM. If you guys think this is dumb, I'll shut up, but I think that we could definitly could use a general protest to even things up.
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) Truth be told, from what I've witnessed, the themes don't seem to change the protest much. It makes it a little easier to explain to the press in a nutshell, but when dealing with the general public, we're always discussing the same issues: Lisa McPherson, Fair Game, Disconnection, Xenu, and so forth. I love this protest idea because it seems like it's shaping up to be like Party Hard, only with loads of pirates, which I find hilarious.
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) Themes are for people who want a theme. If you don't want to be a pirate in June, don't. Anyone who gives you shit for it is taking themsleves too seriously, and honestly that's kind of sad of them if the 'theme' is something this hilarious. Same goes for all those people bickering about FairGameStop and Game Over and Battletoad Earth, etc.
Re: New Theme - Operation: Sea ARRRGH (aka Fleet Week) Can't be bothered logging in. Can they repost here some stuff?
