I'm sure the motorcar company would be fine if I decided to go on a hobo tour with Foggy and friends for a few months.
To be fair, your recorded duet on 'King of the Road' would make enough profit to cover the job loss, right? One of my colleagues here in the IT department at Embassy London is a pretty mean harmonica player (and juggler, for that matter) and about to retire, so I'm sure I could convince him to play backup.

Leo Kottke, one of the greatest 12 string guitar players ever, used to say his voice sounded like geese farts on a muggy day.

He was, of course being overly boastful.

Actually, he has a good voice and he is a perfectly adequate singer. He isn't going to put Julie London or Nat "King" Cole out of business, but he's better than a lot of folks that get paid for their singing instead of their guitar playing.

Has everybody heard about the bird?

I got placed in "timeout" in Oreo's live stream chat this evening.

I think my singular comment was "is this movement more than camping out next to an interstate doing karaoke each evening?"

A bit thin-skinned, they seem. But they are Patriots!

And I'll somehow survive the punishment somehow.

I dunno. He seemed to be driving today aimlessly looking for the rest of the 1776 Bowel Movement. He doesn't have the 15month old nor the wife-sister-girlfriend with him. Then his internet feed flaked out and we lost his connection.

Totally expected him to exploit the baby for donations, but he said the kid has a stomach flu.

His co-pilot is missing (Quincey) but maybe LM K knows where he disappeared to.
Ah. Quincey. He is such a POS.

He is a married man with 4-5 children. He went home on Tues.

Recently, on his livestream, he admitted that he slept with at least 1 woman while traveling with the convoy.

Quincey goes by the name Black Conservative Pastor. ;)

Neonzx, they are working very hard to fight for all Americans and to return our country to a Constitutional Republic!

Wow, they truly are a farce to be reckoned with.

There is an active covid outbreak in the convoy right now. Members were treated to free pizza tonight. They coughed all over the pizza restaurant.

Trusty trolls reached out to the restaurant to let the employees know that Covid Santa and his elves left some unwanted gifts.

Rumor: Santa might be getting the boot. I don't know much about that.

Karaoke is now a key fundraising activity. During tonight's performance a fistfight broke out. Livestreamers have pulled videos of fight.

Thur evening meeting:

*Flyers were distributed somewhere.

*"PATRIOT GROUPS" will be meeting together for rallies periodically. The groups aren't merging.

*Attorney General of WV Patrick Morrissey is supposed to come to speak to the convoy on Saturday.

*Santa is looking for 5 politicians to call out.

*Endless rambling.

*Santa's fuel bill per week is higher than his monthly truck payment.

*Refrigerated truck is finally fixed.**

*Trolls are evil and vile!

*Need auction items for Sunday's rally.

*There is no covid at camp. It's just a virus.***

*Ohhhh. Someone is donating a portable sink!

*Hoping someone will donate a portable air conditioner for the tent!

*The Amazon wishlist is posted!

The end.


**A friend of mine did some research on refrigerated trucks. It's costing the convoy approximately $150 per day to keep the refrigerated truck running and cold per day.

***Yesterday or today Santa was caught on camera discussing a member who has decided to isolate because of ... covid.

Is this the same kid who just flew in on an airplane? Wonder how many other people on that same flight now have the stomach flu?

They were discussing the possibility of buying another used reefer trailer on the Telegram channel. Someone pointed out that they are like $60k.

Know thanks.

Fortunately, your 9th grade English teacher is not here policing. With online forums, the YKWIM rule applies. 8-)
