Speaking of funny, Penny Arcade on the strike.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Heard on the picket line, Day 2
UNIVERSAL: We can do the Jurassic Park ride later
Apparently, there was a Teamster present who just happened to be visiting from out of state with his wife. Somehow he stumbled across the shoot and told his wife he wanted to join the picket line. She basically said, "Are you crazy?" And he answered something like, "We're Teamsters, that's what we do."

It was a while before I could appreciate him, but that kinda makes me love him.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

The Teamsters were also awesome during the last SAG strike a few years ago. Bless 'em.

Apparently a Teamster delivering milk refused to cross the picket line at Sony and made folks inside come out and get the milk.
What confounds me, though, is when the supermarkets had a strike, they still had goods delivered so did the Teamsters ignore their picket lines?
