    I had this guy move in down the street from me. Except more overwieght and only had a thin blue line flag. Apparently he owned a couple acres of land by the road. First the camper appered, followed by the beer cans and tarps strung up everywhere. His days consisted of sitting in various delapidated, cheap plastic lawn chairs and drinking. Clothing optional if it was hot enough. And let me assure he, he was a tighy whitey kinda guy. Or more like tighty browny if you know what I mean.

    The county caught up with him a few weeks later, and that’s when the portajohn appeared. This was not an improvement, because the wind blew it over and nobody stood it back up. Also the wind was shredding the tarps, creating these streamers of plastic that waved in the wind like those crappy inflatable tube men outside of the car dealership.

    Finally it came out when he got arrested that he was hiding from arreest warrents in another state. Someone came and got the portocrapper and camper, leaving only the beer cans and shredded tarps as a reminder of our temporary nieghbor.

    1 out of 10, would not recommend. Nothing like the smell of hot tipped over portojohn wafting on the wind.

      Amazing how many of those people with thin blue line stickers on their cars are happy to violate every traffic law on the books.

        I know a bunch of people who get them thinking they’re “get out of a ticket free” stickers. There’s also a more local version that shows support for our state police which are bought for similar reasons.

        That said, I’m willing to give some benefit of doubt when I see them on vehicles but never if I see the big ass flags waving on houses.

      Few things make me appreciate California more than my memories of nearly every creek with a bridge over it in Missouri having been treated as an impromptu landfill.

      Someone had the gall to dump a washer and dryer on the side of the road on my commute, I was nervous it would enable others, but no other trash showed up, and after a week or two the washer and dryer were removed.

    I wish. Where I live there are lots of perfectly manicured lawns with swimming pools, and several new-ish gas guzzling vehicles parked in the driveway next to the RV, and huge pro-Trump flags hung on garages and on flagpoles.

    I’m seeing “Try That in a Small Town” bumper stickers around me the last couple months. Usually with FJB and BlueLivesMatter stickers as well.

              Well it started because at a nascar race a chant started “Fuck Joe Biden” and the newscaster said they were chanting “Let’s go Brandon” as someone named Brandon nascars I guess. The newscaster either misheard or quickly covered because the FCC says “we must not say bad words but abbreviations or euphemisms are okely dokely” on television, and now it’s a meme to them.

              Frankly I don’t like the FCC or their censorship anyway but that’s me. Been on the “fuck the FCC, PMRC, RIAA, etc” train since before the FCC wouldn’t let Em be.

              I have a neighbor who was a bumper sticker, very large, that is “FJB” exactly like that. I’ve seen some who spell out “Fuck Joe Biden” as well, but most (in my area) try to be a bit more subtle

      Yeah, when the musician has to go to someone else’s “small” town to film the music video it says something. He filmed it in front of the court house in Columbia Tennessee. Not everyone was happy about that. Came out about the same time the majority black churches in the area started getting KKK pamphlets placed around.

    So, you’re saying that I look super cool? Like I bleed freedom when I’m cut. Cause I just don’t see the problem.

    Also, I like dipping tobacco, beating my spouse, and pwning the libs. I must be one of the cool guys, right? TRUMP!

    /s I hate that I have to include this, but some dumbass will read this the wrong way.

    TFW You’re at a basketball game and your friend just scored a 3-pointer. His name is Brandon.
