OccupySF IT Admins Using Pedal Power For Protest

Posted by timothy on from the still-occupying-the-basement-for-now dept.

    Or car batteries and goblin farts. Car batteries and pixie snot. Car batteries and invisible pink unicorn spunk. See where I'm going with this?

    Thankfully, no.

    Most expensive of all however would be th[e] impou[n]d fees. If you park on Market they'll tow your car in minutes even if there isn't a demonstration going on.

    Just use one of those Smart cars... Kinda hard to tow a vehicle that's been tossed up in a tree or hidden in a porta-potty.
