[Radio_Lady]

You fill in the blanks! Astounding!

PLEASE NOTE: This photo was taken by my husband on 12/17/05 around 6:20 PM Pacific Time on SCHOLL'S FERRY ROAD, BEAVERTON, OREGON. It is NOT altered in any way. For more details, send me a private message or email me at Radio_Lady(AT) comcast.net



Cross-posting from the DU Lounge at another person's request. Here's the original DU Lounge thread from last night, before we photographed the roof.

1. Awesome! n/t

[tularetom]

3. it cheers my heart

To think there are others who hate him as much as I do.

5. Hear hear

I know how you feel. Sometimes I don't like how I feel towards another person but than I remember all he's done. *sigh*

[NJCher]

16. the logic

Sometimes I don't like how I feel towards another person but than I remember all he's done.

Might that "another person" be "B?"

If so, remember this:

With Bush, we make peace through war.

An increase in the daily suicide bombings" Well, then, “This shows that we’re making progress and that freedom is taking hold, our enemies are getting desperate.” --b

"We don't torture..." means, well, you know.

Up is down and right is left.

It is, therefore, honorable to hate bush.

19. It's a "W" at the end, but that's beside the point. I'd have to speak

with the homeowner to see if my (our) interpretation is different than intended.

[NJCher]

31. oops

Meant "W."

34. Make that WE do!

4. Who ever puts those lights up

needs to vote in this poll:

[Roxy66]

6. This is why I love Portland......

[Radio_Lady]

8. Thanks so much for the votes for "Greatest " -- YOU'RE the GREATEST!

Good night and good luck,

Radio_Lady

PS. If you can think of anyone in the national media with the courage to post this picture, PM me with the information.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

13. Thanks RLady!...

I'm going to make sure I go see it soon... Its only a few blocks away!

[Radio_Lady]

20. Hey, neighbor! -- Let me know what you think after you see it!

Also, PLEASE don't go on this rainy, icy Sunday night! I couldn't sleep Saturday night, because I have a tree near my house and the wind was howling through it. The tree's branches are scratching on the house gutters. We gotta do some pruning of that tree, but not in winter! The tree was planted too close to the house by the landscaper, and it was all done before we took ownership.

Making peace a priority -- for the whole world -- in 2006!

14. Please don't get this brave soul in trouble with BushCo.

If that lighting arrangement were on everyone's roof, that would be one thing ...

[Radio_Lady]

18. So you don't think anyone should see this photo?

Should I send it to others in the media? What was the intent of the occupant of that house when he/she climbed on the roof and arranged the lights? You can see it from a major roadway here in Oregon.

45. Hi, Radio_Lady

Check your PMs.

:hi:

[uppityperson]

7. Nice

[fooj]

9. Definitely made their point!

I'd send this to Saturday Night Live (Weekend update), Leno, Letterman, Bill Maher (for next season), Craig Ferguson, Conan O'Brien...all of the late night comedians. They've been really doing a number on the rat bastard lately. It's worth a shot, IMO.

Thanks for the post and the great picture!

peace.

[Radio_Lady]

21. Good ideas. Do you think this homeowner wants publicity?

No way of knowing unless someone goes and asks him.

Is this breaking any laws?

I'm in a quandry.

[fooj]

44. Wow. I never thought about that.

Consider this...if a reporter stumbled across it and decided to air it, do they need permission? I don't know. You wouldn't think someone would line their roof with bright lights if they didn't want it to be seen. Just my 2 cents...

Peace.

[Radio_Lady]

50. Well, I am conflicted. Some DUers PMed me that I might be subjecting

this resident to Bush & Company reprisals if I discuss the photo's location -- or widen this into a national media spotlight.

But then, isn't it a sort of public issue if you've got the message right up there on your roof?????

[fooj]

56. Personally, I'd approach the owner and ask.

That way...no harm done, right?

Peace.

[Radio_Lady]

64. Husband has totally forbidden that. I don't live alone in this decision.

You'd think I was some kind of Saudi woman, all in black, with only eyes exposed. One of my former jobs involved pretext interviewing for a detective agency. We worked for insurance agencies settling malpractice and worker's compensation claims. I went into bad neighborhoods all the time.

I was doing a surveillance in an all black neighborhood in Boston. I remember some black gentleman coming up to my car. The conversation went something like this: "Hey, woman! You're white, and sitting in a WHITE CAR, too! Woman, don't you know? You're a sitting duck for criminals! And you're here on a December night at 6PM, in the dark. Go home to your white family in the suburbs!"

[shenmue]

10. Beautiful!

A true work of art.

:applause:

:patriot:

[Radio_Lady]

22. ... and it's on a very steep roof, too!

Hope nobody got hurt in the effort! (My husband fell off a 30-ft. ladder while trimming trees in 1995. He broke his left arm so badly -- broken wrist, compound fracture of the elbow (bone came through the skin). They thought they might have to amputate it. However, he survived after an 11-hour operation and has almost full use of the arm and hand. It's a surgical miracle.)

[yowzayowzayowza]

11. A more graphic version...

might resemble my avatar. ;) Good Stuff.

[Radio_Lady]

23. Hey, that's a neat avatar! Do people "get it" right away?

[fishwax]

12. beautiful!

:applause:

my best to your neighbors :)

[Qanisqineq]

15. I couldn't figure out why everyone was saying this was great

until I looked at the picture again. I thought it just said "W". I see now!

Must get eyes checked.

[Radio_Lady]

24. The first time I drove by, it didn't register with me.

But if you've ever played Scrabble or other word games -- or read vanity license plates for meaning as I do -- it helps.

[TahitiNut]

17. Oh, look! A "FIND W(aldo)" fan!!

:evilgrin:

[Radio_Lady]

25. Really? Or is that Tahiti Nut "spin"?

I thought the expression was "Where's Waldo?"

Hope there's no chance that we are misinterpreting this message!!!!

[TahitiNut]

27. Are you saying it's a "FORD W(indstar)" dealership?

:evilgrin:

[Radio_Lady]

29. You're a clever nut --

Are you a hard nut to crack?

[TahitiNut]

28. I hear the "FREE W(illy)" activists are all over Oregon.

:evilgrin:

[Radio_Lady]

30. You're a little late on this one TahitiNut. Perhaps you haven't heard...

but Willy (alias Keiko the Killer Whale) has sadly died in Iceland. He never rejoined his pod.

[TahitiNut]

37. I thought it was a slogan for the Codpiece Producers of America.

:evilgrin:

[AzDar]

26. Thank you for that, RadioLady!! Fills my heart with Holiday cheer..

(is that wrong?)LOL

[Radio_Lady]

38. I feel the same way! However, I'm conflicted about starting a media

blitz, which can be done quite easily. (I've done it many times before.)

Someone may want to use this for their newspaper or TV show.

I just want to believe I'm respecting the owner's right to privacy.

Any suggestions, AzDar?

Making peace a priority -- for the world -- in 2006...

[Mr_Spock]

32. Best message of the season !!!!!!!!!!!

I love the holiday season :D

[Radio_Lady]

40. UPDATE: Need help with media blitz, starting in Oregon.

Anyone want to volunteer?

Kick this for the evening crowd -- and tomorrow morning (we're supposed to get icy rain in Portland Sunday night and Monday morning 12/19). That puts me right here for the evening and early morning.

Some reporter has to knock on this person's door to get a story. I want to respect this resident's right to privacy -- but he posted his sign in such a prominent place.

What's a former PR person to do?

[Cha]

48. Really! What a Fantastic

way to get the message out..only at the Holiday Lights Time!

[ThatsMyBarack]

33. Thanks, RL!

Portland rox!! :yourock: :applause: :woohoo:

[Radio_Lady]

39. Anyone want to suggest a media blitz on this?

I know how to do 'em, but I will need media addresses.

Is that in a folder somewhere here?

Thanks, everyone...

[Blecht]

35. What's the cross street?

I live just off Scholls Ferry, and I haven't noticed this yet. I'd like to get my own photo of it.

[Radio_Lady]

36. Did you get my PM, Blecht?

I have to leave for a religious celebration. Back at you later Sunday ---------------------------->

[MissB]

41. duped

[MissB]

42. Is that between Denney and the golf course?

:applause: Great picture!

[Radio_Lady]

46. Yes, it is.

PM me for further information. There are some concerns about respecting the resident's privacy since no one has contacted him or her.

In peace,

Radio_Lady

[SharonRB]

43. This is great, Radio Lady

Thanks for posting the photo.

[Radio_Lady]

51. The suggestion was made to contact national media -- but what is

the exposure for this Oregon resident?

[Cha]

47. Takes Guts! I love IT!

And it's getting more and more obvious that that's exactly what needs to be done!

[northzax]

49. hah! I know exactly where that is

just down the street from OES, on one way to get to Catlin...interesting.

[Radio_Lady]

52. I don't recognize these locators. PM me for more information.

[northzax]

55. I grew up about a mile from there

up the hill. So I know it well. And I even know the house, I think. But I don't live there any more.

[yurbud]

53. As long as Jeff Gannon isn't doing the F'ing--that would be a present to W

[Radio_Lady]

54. Yurbud -- uh, no comment. You're bawdy!

[yurbud]

61. I don't post photos of my bawdy, but do private showings

[Radio_Lady]

62. You must be a "corpus delectii" -- does that mean "delicious body"?

Not exactly.

Somehow, I knew you'd pick up on that duplicitous double sounding what is it? Homonyms? Sound alike but spelled differently? (Body versus bawdy.)

Bawdy... now that's a word I don't use too much in polite conversation. It's kind of Elizabethan or Shakespearean as I recall from drama class so long ago. I think that was when the dinosaurs ruled the earth...

The press may be looking in to this thread tomorrow. I don't want it sullied!

[yurbud]

65. anything Shakespeare said is acceptable in polite conversation

Chaucer is something else.

[AZBlue]

57. Pat, I'd like to buy a "U"

That's great!! Thank you for posting this!!!!!!!!!

[Radio_Lady]

59. Funny! I had that same thought driving home from services today!

My mother-in-law used to love that show with Pat Sajak and Vanna White.

But for the life of me, I just can't remember the name of the show right now! Is it "Wheel of Fortune"? Still going???

You guys are great company. I'm writing a review of "King Kong" and blasting through some PR for the photo.

[caligirl]

58. How can i do this?, I haven't put mine up yet and would love to do this.

[Radio_Lady]

60. Hi Caligirl, I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Please explain and

we'll try to help. Do you have a picture to post?

[malaise]

66. Brilliant
