Who was the mystery DUer on I-75 south of Atlanta Wednesday afternoon?

[DemoTex]

I saw a DemocraticUnderground bumpersticker on the back of a Jeep Cherokee tooling down I-75 near the Jackson/Griffin exit at about 6:15 pm on Wednesday. I pulled along side and held my DemocraticUnderground cap up to the window. She looked startled at first, then laughed and gave me a wave.

Anyway, I just pulled into Dallas after a 812 mile drive today. I am beat.

1. I'd like to know this also.

I know their are a number of Atlantans on DU, I am curious as to which one of us this one was.

2. kick

for some reason I'm now curious, too.

[newsguyatl]

3. maybe

it was catwoman, msulyses or eloriel :-)

[ulysses]

15. not Ms U

who IS very attractive and occasionally to be found south of the city, but who is also white and drives a Mercury. :)

I'm curious now too...

[DemoTex]

4. I'm not going to tell where she got off I-75. Privacy issues, perhaps.

But I will say that she was a very attractive young African-American woman. And I had to do 88-mph to catch up with her. We both got off at the same exit and I pulled over with a cell phone call. She passed me and honked and waved. I was hoping she would stop, but I certainly don't blame her for not stopping. Too bad. If she sees this post, I think she lives in or near the same town as my parents. Hint: It's half as big as a NY cemetary, and twice as dead.

5. "a very attractive African-American young woman."

isn't that Catwoman? Right coordinates...

on edit: when I say "right coordinates" I mean "the Atlanta area" and not any specific spot. I am not stalking Catwoman. Thank you, please continue.

[DemoTex]

6. Could I have been that close to Catwoman? THE Catwoman?

Catwoman meets DemoTex! DemoTex meets Catwoman! Damn! Maybe I should trade in my ham radio license plate for a "DemoTex" plate. If that was you Cat, that was me in the white Subaru wagon with Texas ham radio plates.

7. CatWoman And Ham Radio?

Better Ante..."feed the kitty..."

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

8. My money is on Catwoman!

I bet it was her!!

[DemoTex]

9. Well, I just sent her a PM.

It has got to be a fairly major DU player to have the bumper-sticker on the back window. She probably thought I was an insane Freeper when I pulled up next to her holding a baseball cap over at the passenger-side window so that she could see it.

[CatWoman]

12. Tex -- I'd love to brush up against you anytime

:D

but alas, wasn't me. :hi:

I drive a Mazda pickup.

And it does sport a DemocraticUnderground bumper sticker. :D

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

13. So the search continues!

Who is it, we must find out! :)

[short bus president]

16. Dammit DemoTex, we're gonna finger your mystery DUer

if it takes forever.

Too many of us are surreptitiously curious now.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

23. Well, you can finger her all you want... assuming she agrees to

that. I will watch, okay?

[Aristus]

17. Careful,Cat. He's got high-blood-pressure.

We don't want to lose this guy.

Congrats on your close encounter, DemoTex.

[DemoTex]

20. Well, the Atenolol keeps the B/P down.

Way down. It just makes me too drowsy to land an MD-80. Know what I mean, Vern?

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

24. I thought MD-80's could land themselves?

no?

[DemoTex]

25. Actually, they can.

The MD-80, IMHO, has a much better auto-land system than the Boeing 737. The big difference is, after touchdown, the MD-80 system continues to track the runway centerline until the auto-pilot is disengaged (if I remember correctly).

I found too, that the MD-80 auto-pilot system could control the speed on final approach much better than the B-737/300. The MD-80 auto-throttle is much more sensitive.

Otherwise, I am a Boeing guy. I love the B-737-series. I've got at least 8000 hours in Boeing 737s.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

27. I thought I had read that somewhere

seems like there should be a way to end the track of the runway, to avoid running off the end... you know a sort of "if you ain't on the ground by now, fugggedabouit anyway" kind of thing.

[DemoTex]

28. No, that's still up to the captain.

The runway markings and lights give the pilot the info he/she needs regarding runway length. Believe me.

[Scimmio]

14. hmmm, let's see...

attractive and driving like a bat out of hell...if the "wave" she did as she passed you only included one upright finger, I'd bet my hat that you met Catwoman...

[DemoTex]

10. Kick

For visibility!

[this_side_up]

11. I saw my first

Dean bumpersticker on a black motorcycle Wed night. Male driver.

[HEyHEY]

18. WHoever it was...

Does she drive like a maniac?

[DemoTex]

19. Still looking. Still waiting.

Sorry it wasn't CatWoman. But it was someone with a DU bumper sticker. That means donor, right? That's how I got mine.

Mysterious DU woman, come hither. I'm in a tither.

[Aristus]

21. The suspense is killing me, Mac.

I hope she turns up.

[DemoTex]

22. I might go back next week and cruise I-75!

Not really! I-75 south of Atlanta is totally insane.

[short bus president]

26. Better idea:

let's see if we can get Homeland Security on it. We'll tell 'em she threatened Tom Delay.

Granted, you may never find out her identity or the result of her tribunal if they catch her...

[DemoTex]

29. Maybe she saw my Texas plate and skipped clean to NM!

.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

30. Might have been in a stolen car, and thought you were a fed?

[DemoTex]

31. Naw. Too cute. Too big a smile when she saw my DU hat.

She was nothing but an evil DUer!

[short bus president]

32. New thread:

"What GA DUers have had your vehicles stolen lately?"

DU lojack, by DemoTex?

[Generic Other]

33. Was it Cynthia McKinney?

She's beautiful.
