*sigh* Flash mobbing has come to Atlanta.

[Fausto]

Now where'd I put my shotgun?

At 7:33 p.m. Wednesday, about 50 people gathered at the corner of 10th Street and Piedmont Avenue in Midtown and all pretended that they had just seen Elvis Presley. "It's Elvis!" they yelled. "He's alive!"

After two minutes of cheering and shouting, they all walked away, as passers-by wondered what had happened.

It was the very model of a modern flash mob: whimsical, pointless and a bit bizarre. And in this case, timely, as Saturday is the 26th anniversary of Presley's death.

Go.....you crazy, crazy nuts.

Me-too-ers are just annoying. I'm not going to lose sleep over it or anything, but I'll whine about it in cyberspace.

He's probably jealous (as I am) that so many people have enough spare time to do something that pointless.

Well, now I know what a flash mob is.

 

[gigapet]

I plan on participating if i ever hear about one b4 it happens. I mean it seems like a cheap thrill. Maybe it'll be the gayest thing ever perhaps it will be alot of fun. Who knows.......my attitude is dont knock it till you try it. With some exceptions of course(crackwhores, crack, heroin, meth, gay sex, animal sex)
