The Imperial Walker Never Stops!!!

At the WI State Capitol Protests in Madison, WI:

There are these two guys who walk around in an Imperial Walker costume (from Star Wars).

See below:




(A not so subtle reference to the dictatorial nature of Governor Scott Walker)

Funniest thing I've heard yet at the protests:

A lady standing next to me called out to them (the guys in the costume), "Oh, can you stop for a second, so that I can get a picture of you?"

To which one of the gentlemen responded, in an imperial manner, "The Imperial Walker Never Stops!!!"

Then they continued marching away at a strident pace.

I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard.

There was a group of policemen near me, and they absolutely lost it.

Thanks to Daylight Atheism for posting my Walk Like An Egyptian piece about the protests at the WI State Capitol in Madison during the past couple of weeks, and the religionists attempts to usurp the protests and turn the movement into a theocratic movement, instead of a democratic movement.
