Need help with funny copy for Occupy sign. Special Halloween snowflake details inside.

So for my halloween jack-o-lanterns I bought a bunch of small pumpkins which I'm turning into "Occupy Spruce St." protesters. My protestors need funny signage to add to their "We are the 99%" etc.

Looking for ideas.

Carve a crescent moon, like those that appear on outhouses, with a little sign that reads "OCCUPIED."
