Toronto Anonymous: Mini raid for Bookathon weekend

Good work. The way Oxford works means that there's no central "Oxford Uni" as I understand it, and instead, there are individual colleges who obviously own their own names etc. Further, with Oxford being a place name I doubt there's any particular control over putting "Oxford" on anything.

At least you guys in Toronto could find the bastards. The Ottawa Org is so undermanned that they didn't even have a table outside their building.

We did, however, get some intel that they were going to be at a flea market at Landsdowne Park. It turned out that they applied for a table there, but were DENIED. It's kind of disheartening when you show up for battle, only to find out that another army already destroyed your opponent.

So, we handed out a few flyers, and later checked out the flea market. I manged to get a copy of Blast Corps for the N64 for $5, so it wasn't a total loss for me.

but no Battletoads means you fail

To the person who asked if we should have accepted the 20: I was handing out fliers when he walked by, and shoved the wadded up 20 in my grip. As I tried to figure out what he just shoved in my hand, he mentioned 'You boys go get yourselves some drinks' and walked off.

It would have been impossible to go give it back to him, as he was weaving through a small crowd fairly quickly, and I'm a big guy, so I probably would have ended up knocking someone over.

Anyways, I was sure to yell 'Thank you very much sir' after him. That man was a prince.

Congrats fellow miniraiders, we did some amazing work this weekend. Over 3000 fliers handed out, thousands educated, and I know we successfully stopped a number of people from being sucked into the dianetics machine by talking with them before their scheduled dianetics appointments.

I'm proud to have served with all of you. :D

^^^ THIS SHIT UP HERE, this is the stuff that makes my heart sing, you know that?

Why? That right there is an embodiment of what is fundamentally good in humanity: two people, complete and utter strangers, helping each other out because they believe in an idea and asking for nothing in return. If this isn't random generosity in it's purest form, I don't know what is.

If this is the reaction we get from regular people regarding this fight, there's no way we can't win.

Not to mention that "Oxford" can also denote:

the City of Oxford (the one in the Thames Valley)
Oxfordshire UK (the county)
Oxford, Mississippi (IIRC)

Epic win yesterday. I performed two counts of epic win on behalf of all Anon's.
(Dont mean to sound like a big-headed douche, but it was my doing)

1st: Tech-Block against the org. This Indian gentleman named "Moni" was scheduled for evaluation for joining the org. He was just on his way over there when I managed to grab his attention. This gentleman and I spoke over a ciggarette break and I let him in on the truth behind the cult. Suffice to say he was a little miffed on the fact that he was about to be swindled out of his money and mind . He told me how greatful he was for enlightening him, I told him not to thank me, but Anonymous, because
"Anonymous always delivers".

2nd: Managed to shut down their book selling campaign singlehandedly for well over an hour. By standing in front of the org, well in earshot of all Redshirtspresent, and proceeded to read out loud details on Operation: Freakout, Operation: Snow White, Lisa Macpherson, etc. Once I started to do this, they herded all of their sheep inside and sent out their minions with tape recorders and mics and stuck them in my face, which reminded me of some kind of Robot Bukakke, and made me laugh my balls off.They closed up shop for a while, which gave me ample time to recover from my laughing fits.
Eventually the cops came by and requested that we maintain a distance away from them.
From there they proceeded to crawl back out of their spawning pool and spread their infectious writings of

All in all it was a great fucking time. Everyone garnered sum win and lulz for the cause. I luvz you all!

Yeah, but the implication is there. I received a reply from the head of Oxford's Psychs who has passed it on to the 'relevant authorities'. Let's hope he brings the pwnage.

Epic.

I walked by the Toronto org on my way home today - they had their table out with no interest.

The best part was nose-pick guy was admonishing one of his minions - I actually heard him say in a very aggravated voice "NO. You HAVE to SELL them the BOOK!"
