Variations on the Great American Shout Out
http://www.thegreatamericanshoutout.com/modules/event/index.php

It's probably been mentioned already, but buried down a number of pages by now, so the gist is this: at the moment when Bush steps out to take the podium on the night of September 2nd, everybody in the county gets up, throws open their windows and shouts, "Fuggedaboutit!" until Bush begins to speak. (Then we sit back down and treat ourselves to a bad speech.)

Al Franken says to customize the shout to whatever seems appropriate to your region. In Minnesota, where Franken and I both hail from, the should would be "Ohhhh noooo ya dooon't!" In California it would be, "No way, dude!"

What other shouts would be appropriate to specific regions of the country? Remember, no obscenities -- after all, we are speaking to the President.
