Circle the wagons, boys and girls!*

“Defensive formation! Everyone to their positions!”

“I’m sick and tired of these motherfucking feminists on the motherfucking wagon!”

“All your dues are belong to us.”

We are one! Like Voltron!”

“Maybe if I keep my mouth shut, I’ll get on the Nebula ballot. Loose lips sink careers!”

    Puppies!

    (There was an episode of This American Life a while back with a segment about a guy who tried to launch The Puppy Channel on cable. The theme song went something like “Puppies puppies puppies puppies puppies puppies puppies puppies PUPPIES!” I’ll sing it for you sometime, if you like. The point is, I’m singing it to myself right now.)

    Shouldn’t there be a “get off my lawn” puppy?

    Or is that a given?

    Get off my lawn… please?

    Not fair! Now I want a puppy.

    Kudos, we cat people could never pull off something like this.

    Is there actual wagon-circling going on? If so, where? I might want to let loose a few arrows.
