in my hometown just to see what it was like..bunch of age 55 + geezers being grumpy mostly-"get off my lawn types" . I was 49 at the time and was was one of the younger ones there.

Lot of guys in full cammo (with beer keg guts) talking about Civil War II. Many carrying their sidearms on their waist.. this is in a town of 5000 people with little or no crime.. last murder was 18-20 years ago.

I just laughed to myself and went on.

Thank you for this. I need to play it in my head whenever I listen to teabaggers discuss their faux concern over immigration.

Exactly like the video, except that the graphics on their bus misspelled September.

At the mere mention of somebody in the developing world who isn't shitting in a hole in the ground anymore.

Is when their teaparty brain trust decides that the best way to stop the 'immigrants from the future' from coming back in time and stealing their jobs is to go gay, and they all get naked and jump into a pile. That way, you know, there won't BE any people in the future. You know, cause their little group of dudes ... is going gay.

Next best part is, a while later, they decide, eh, that's not so fun, and instead they all start cleaning up the environment and going 'green', so that future doesn't suck so bad that the people from there will want to come back to our time (and steal their jerbs). But this entirely sensible idea ... only lasts minute or so, before they decide it's 'even gayer', this cleaning up the environment thing ... and jump back into their man-pile.

It's ridiculous, of course, but it so perfectly typifies how logic-challenged these types of people are. Trey really nailed it with this particular episode, definitely one of the all-time classic episodes of SP. Believe it's episode title is 'Goobacks'.
