Comments on: Life on the ‘Nade: The Hecklers http://www.losanjealous.com/2006/04/12/hecklers/ Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:05:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Joseph http://www.losanjealous.com/2006/04/12/hecklers/comment-page-1/#comment-2128 Joseph Tue, 18 Apr 2006 21:24:02 +0000 http://www.losanjealous.com/2006/04/12/hecklers/#comment-2128 You've just given me an idea for when I return to L.A. in a couple of weeks: when approached by a god peddler who shoves a card in my face, I will ask for a big bunch of extra cards for all of my "friends", and then, with a pious smile, dump them in the nearest trashcan. Repeat as necessary until said peddler recognizes me. That should be ample motivation for remembering my face, and getting my crystal clear message.

Between the pitch and the other person's refusual, I'm already in front of them. I tend to avoid them by walking up quickly behind the person in front of me.

I used do what ever I could to dodge the hecklers - head fakes, cut backs, spin moves, you name it. Except the guy handing out Jack Chick comics; even though he was a "god peddler", I found the comics darkly humorous. I wouldn't be surprised to find a market for them on eBay. Anyway, an acquaintance of mine devised an effective strategy for dealing with the hecklers. Whenever one would approach she would hold her arms in front of her like she was carrying something and shout, "HANDS FULL!" They would be caught so off guard that they would back off and move on to the next mark. It was like heckler repellent. Great article.

I've got some great pics of Ol' Yeller (who can currently be seen on the corner of 3rd and Santa Monica). Also, the best thing I've ever heard the LaRouche people say is "if you vote for Bush, your bicycles will have square wheels!" Keep your eyes peeled, ladies and gents.

They have an office near the parking structure. Stay away, they are dangerous. The God peddlers with the cards are part of Reverend Sun Un Moon’s Gnostic sex cult.
