So Shugars has been hard at work on her T boycott, and has a website dedicated to it up and running HERE. Shoogs has taken the bull by the horns. She’s my new hero. Check out the site, and mark your calendars for JUNE 6TH.

If you live and work in the city, do make it a point to find your way around, at least on the 6th, without the T. As many of you know, I’ve been totally T-free for over a month, and now have buns and thighs of steel. If you come to the rally, I will let you touch them. It’s just one of the many, many benefits of riding a bike that you just don’t get riding the T.

If you can’t ride your bike, walk, run, pogo, vespa, segway, hop, skip, jump, piggy-back, leap-frog, crawl, wriggle or writhe to work, and absolutely must take the T, at least make it a point to show up at the meeting at the Boston Public Library on the 6th. And if you can’t make it to the meeting, come to the rally immediately afterwards.

What should I wear? This is really a no-brainer. I don’t know how many times I have to tell you people: it’s always, ALWAYS pink chiffon for boycotts and red, white and blue terry cloth tube tops, with matching wrist and head-bands for rallies. DON’T ASK ME AGAIN.

What will people think of me if I actually boycott the T and go to this rally? They will make fun of you behind your back and call you “gay.”

Will people laugh at me, too? You’re always the last to know, aren’t you? They’ve been laughing at you all along, sweetie. This is just another little something to add to an already lengthy laugh list.

Should I bring a snack? Good thinkin’! You’re gonna be burning up those calories like crazy. Forget your watercress salad and low-fat pea and mint soup. Better pack a manwich. Clocking in at 8500 calories, that should give you all the fuel you need for the wild gyrations and ululating required of rally-ers.

What if I don’t know how to ululate? There will be a ululating workshop just prior to the rally where a trained expert will instruct you in the proper method. If you are unable to attend the workshop, other options include: howling, yawling, screaming, hollering, and squalling. Surely you can do one of these.

Should I bring a baby? If you’ve got one, please bring it. Swaddled in an American flag, of course.

What if I don’t know how to swaddle? A swaddling workshop will be offered simultaneous to the ululating workshop. Those with babies will be exempt from ululating, of course.

Do you really think it will make a difference? Everything you do and don’t do makes a difference, dear.
