Cropped from The End is Not for a While, xkcd.com
Randall Monroe of xkcd has given me a fantastic idea. Click through above to read the whole panel, and then come back and help me figure out what should go on my contentment protest signs. I’m going to keep them in the trunk of my car, because you never know when you’ll run into a random protest here in DC.
Tiffany Bridge: Tiffany Baxendell Bridge is an Internet enthusiast and an incurable smartass. When not cracking the editorial whip at We Love DC, she can usually be found rabble-rousing on the social media flavor of the month, cooking, drinking bourbon, or Bollywood dancing, sometimes all at the same time. Tiffany lives in Brookland with her husband Tom and two high-maintenance cats. Read why Tiffany loves DC.

This would be a great DC take on ‘Improv Everywhere.’

I want one that says:
“The Capital Carpenter’s Union [or whatever it is that they're called] uses non-union protesters.”
Just for the annoying “So-and-so pays below area standard wages and benefits” protests.

This actually seems like a great We Love DC-themed protest, actually. I shall have to look into staging one.

“I think we’re doing okay!”
“I’m content as heck, and I’m totally gonna take it some more!”

“If you’re happy and you know it hold a sign!”

The great thing about the carpenter’s union one is that you could get in line with the actual protesters and not get a bit of lip since they couldn’t really care less – they’re there for the money.
