Here’s the latest reader question, along with my reply!
Rod asks: I am tempted to wear this mask next time I go shopping but I don’t think the Masked Morons out there would understand the point I am trying to make.
My reply: Maybe not – but the rest of us will get it! If you must wear a mask, this is the right one to wear. I myself will not wear any sort of mask, ever. Unless it’s a Nixon mask – and I’m robbing a 7-11 to pay for my surfing habit!
I am not diseased!
I am thinking that I would maybe wear an eye mask to try to get in. Most say masks, but not what kind right?
I still like my “Plague Doctor” outfit (great for screwing with folks) but it’s getting too hot here in Sac-town to wear the overcoat.
The Plague doctor look is uber creepy and thus a perfect choice for these times! I commend you if you wear that while out and about.
Haha Rod! Thanks for this. This is too good of an idea to not steal (sorry). This should be fun. Ordering one now.
I wasn’t going to wear any mask ever, but then I thought about going to costco with some lace, see through lingerie for a mask. Nearest costco is 60 miles from me though. I’d have to borrow a membership card from my in-laws, so I probably wouldn’t pull off the experiment. There are no other mask requirement stores in the area. Yet.
Hi Ancap,
I’m working out harder – so as to be ready if challenged over the Fear Masking. I practically look forward to it!
Same here. My gym opened up again finally last Friday. I had been trying to maintain strength at home, but it’s not the same.
Good news is, the gym has no restrictions whatsoever. No tape, no masked freaks, no distance enforcement. It’s great! Also, they took the opportunity to make some upgrades to the gym during the forced shut down.
Excellent, excellent news in re the gym not becoming a Sickness Psychosis Center. I’ve been planning a visit to a local joint in Roanoke that has been openly flouting the “rules” – and got Hut! Hut! Hutted! over it. Titan Fitness in Roanoke. Check this out: https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2020/04/23/roanoke-gym-owner-fighting-charges-for-keeping-business-open-during-coronavirus-outbreak/
Oh hell yeah, you would do well to support that gym! These business owners who dare to stand up to tyrants need to be rewarded by the market.
With all of the stories of clovers calling the cops on businesses for staying open, it’s good to keep this in mind:
There is a silent majority that is awakening and beginning to be not silent. I see big push back coming if this goes on much longer. I think they see it too.
I like the sheep mask. It doesn’t matter if the clueless fail to understand your point: the rational people will get it, and some of them will be emboldened by receiving confirmation that they aren’t alone in questioning the madness.
In a similar vein, I’ve suggested using a Guy Fawkes mask, a great symbol of resistance to oppression. Anyone who has seen “V for Vendetta” will recognize it as a protest.
Another good suggestion. Thanks.
That’s a funny damned thing. I need one. Definitely a conversation starter. I hope the reader let’s us know how it goes.
