The International Whaling Commission is having its annual meeting in Anchorage.

I'm expecting hippies, greenies and other peaceniks in protest.

Other than air-freshener and anti-bacterial wipes, is there anything else I should consider packing?

I kinda wish I owned one of those Greener harpoon guns... grin

Crossbow. Before you pull the trigger tell them you cut down a 500 year old tree to make it. grin

Ring your belt with pistols. (Openly.)

Walk around amongst them. You won't have to fire a shot, but you might cause something funny.

Febreeze in a holster.

(And someone ought to make a spoof of the Che shirts, but with Barry Goldwater on it instead. If I had a highres of this, I could do it as a halftone...)

I kind of like this "Anti-Che" shirt . . .

carebear:

I would suggest some a bar of soap on a lanyard. Use the lanyard to make a loop and place the loop & soap over your head. Wear it openly, over the rest of your clothes.

Soap is to hippies what garlic is to vampires. You can never be too careful around either.

Kinda like this:

This has the advantage of being both soap and a religious symbol. Perhaps good for double-duty vs hippies and vampires.

Last, the "Mr T" soap on a rope is sure to keep hippies at the maximum distance:

Those chicks would be all over Che if they met him in person (well, at least back before he was muerto). Especially the one with the commie gun.

For hippies I would carry a harpoon powered by compressed CO2. I would put a big sticker on it that says "Whales, not just for breakfast anymore". All the warming caused by the CO2 should cook a whale pretty quickly.

Carry small clear plastic bags of dried parsley. Toss them if Hippies get to close, they will think you are throwing them some weed and will go chasing after it.

This is Alaska, the center for hydroponic development in the US. grin

On a serious note, I'm not sure how unruly the IWC protesters normally get, but the majority of locals, even the greenies, are down with subsistence use (though the mental contradiction between aboriginal rights and save the whales/animals is visible sometimes).

I'm not expecting Euro-level anarchism given the distance to get here and our students having to work for a living and all.

No, no...dried poison ivy leaves. grin

MW:

While the thought is admirable, the effect could be fatal to the smoker of poison ivy.

I don't think you need the harpoon. Hippies are usually malnourished vegetarians so you'd probably just miss them.

You might try covering a vw micro bus in fur and drive that to the meeting, bonus points if it's seal fur. Also, to really throw a scare into them, tell them that their patchouli oil is made from north slope petrolium oil and due to peak oil they are going to quit making it! A petition to outlaw dreadlocks due to health codes would be great but would probably get you killed.

Why do you say this? Do you know the models posted are commy types?

I think he just means that Che was a Mack. And the girl with the Comblock gun is just ugly, so she'll take any man she can get.

I submit that that depends on what portion of the picture you focus on....

I've seen pictures of Che carrying an M1 Carbine. And...heh. I thought the opposite about the pictures. The top one is fine. The lower one needs a nose job.
