It doesn’t mean anything, just kids being dumb and can’t communicate. Did you do your hand signs with it? I saw a ton of adults dressing up like it for Halloween, so it’s probably almost over.

I've never heard of it either, but then again I am an old fart with little contact with kids.

Show sucked again today.

Traffic was a bit better than yesterday. It just didn't result in increased sales for me.

The venue just doesn't draw. Part of it is parking can be tight at times. The rest is a complete unknown as the show last weekend, 3 miles away from this one with the same promoter, drew much better. The only real difference is last weekend was Saturday/Sunday (Sundays usually suck during football season) and this weekend was Friday/Saturday.

This little one is such a joy to spend time with.

jlzinck · 11-09-2025, 07:35 AM

Drove straight through yesterday.
Left Gatlinburg at 5:30AM and got home at midnight
Having a reaction to something as my face and neck are red and swollen.

Urgent care appointment at 9:45

hairysasquatch · 11-09-2025, 07:48 AM

Went out for Indian food last night.

Paying the price right now.

Trip Report- Travel edition.
Drove 2489 miles in 9 days.

Almost got his twice and if I hadn't reacted quickly we would have been totaled. Once in Providence near the 95 North and South exits from 195. F250 comes from my left into my lane. I swerved to the right while throwing the car onto a lower gear. If I hadn't he would have hit us.

#2 in Boosylvania as 2 roads merger and some clown in a tesla did the same thing. This time he starts to pull into my lane while he is right next to me. Of course he is looking at his phone.

Was gonna stop at the Boo compound because my wife had never seen an Amish family in person before. Though as luck would have it we did see some Amish families in Gatlinburg

The longest and shortest state drives were in FT's former and current states.

Spent less time in FT's former state than it takes him to have a Mission BBQ induced dump. Total on 22 minutes in the state combined coming and going.

Drove 700 plus miles coming and going in Virginia.

Stopped in Woodstock VA on the way down. About 5 miles before our exit we get stuck behind some moron from Vermont driving 50 MAX in the passing lane. 11% chance it was Glen. Leave in the AM and see JMU is about 10 miles south of us. Ups the % the driver the night before was Glen to 49.5%
Also realized they built the campus right off the highway because the average JMU student would not be able to find it if it were anywhere else.

When we got neat Gatlinburg the direction sent us a longer wat but saved us time because of all the lights and stops going through Pigeon Forge.

Passed a trailer park which was flying a Red Falg only. I saw a blue stripe coming from one corner with white stars. Though I couldn't testify in court that it was the Confederate Rebel Flag, were I to wager on if it was I would probably win my bet. Wonder how many of the residents complain about other types of flags being flown.

We stayed 2 blocks off the main street in Gatlinburg.

70 MPH Speed limits and cruise control are the best invention since Arby's

more to come

I have fun when scores are 6-9 or 9-6.

TLDR

I haven't used cruise control in my car since I have had it (early 2020). Too much speeding up and slowing down to make it worth it.

Any sign of Josie while going through Yinzylvania?

I tend not to do that any more (at least above the level of the dashboard) because of how many people down here carry guns.

Nope, though I keep up on the thread. Too much entitlement and whining in there from certain people.
