Pastafarians 1, Westboro Baptist Church 0

For some odd reason, the Westboro nutjobs decided to protest in downtown Little Rock today. They're the family/cult devoted to Fred Phelps who go around protesting at the funerals of homosexuals, soldiers and anybody not in their cult.

But in Little Rock, they were met with a band of Pastafarians. Dressed as pirates, they counter-protested. And the Phelps whackos packed up and left.

Bonus points for the Pastafarians: Today's protest was held on Talk A Like A Pirate Day.

So that's what the pirates were doing! I knew today was International Talk Like a Pirate Day. I went downtown and saw the pirates as well as gay rights people, all with posters and most screaming "ARRRGGHHH!" I couldn't figure out why the gay rights people were mixed in. I keep wondering when the Phelps clan is going to die off...
