When I attended 1989 national boy scout jamboree, they were playing most of the time in the main camp. As I recall they basically knew two songs which they repeated endlessly: “Everyone walk the dinosaur” and “God bless the USA”. It’s possible that there were some others sprinkled in but those are the two that caused me to really wish they would shut up.
You couldn’t drag me to that fucking disaster with a 20-mule team.
Too bad he ain’t the King Trump, he wishes to be and he could compel anyone to come for an audience with the King, under the pain of death.
Gahh!! Just had a mini nightmare.
After nearly 40 years, do you still wake up in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat, with the sounds of “Boom! Boom! Shakka-lakka-lakka boom!” echoing in your ears?
Eventually they blend together and “God Bless the Dinosaur”.
But, in which way would they be disappointed? Because they’d think we’ve turned into a fascist dictatorship, full of selfish people crying “me me ME”, or because we let wimmin vote and respect gay rights, and don’t have slavery?
I think that the one serious issue would be the fact that they tried their best to limit central powers such that they didn’t make the President into the King of the United States. They had just rebelled against a system like that and were trying to not end up that way. And yet, we have something very much like that now.
One of the world-class exhibits - Indiana.
That’s embarrassing. Whatever it is. I actually feel sorry for people that go there. Makes the Wonka lemonade river seem like Disneyland.
And look at the hundreds of people visiting. Or is it tens?
Here we are at June 25, and that runs through July 10? There won’t be time to see everything!
(1893, when a Ferris Wheel was a big deal! And that one had enormous cars.)
Hokey as all get out! I’d be mad if I spent time making my way there to see whatever the hell this is supposed to be.
It looks like a typical English village fête.
I’m not getting onto a Ferris Wheel put up by the Trump Regime. (Or any other construction that requires expertise.)
Now that you mention it I suddenly did have a flashback. So three songs.
Wow, it’s like they ordered some kind of state fair packages from Temu. I’m sooooo glad North Carolina (and my adopted state of Maine) pulled out of that hot mess.
On the subject of military bands, when I was in high school I remember a rock band from Fort Bragg came to play at a school assembly. It was a big enough deal that the they brought kids over from the elementary school. I’m sorry I don’t remember the name of the band, because they were so damn good that kids were dancing. (For some reason, the principal had a problem with this, and musical acts were not invited again. I never understood why. Fuck you, Ben.)
Dancing is too much like sex standing up. Or so said the bluenoses.
LOL - so delusional.
"NBC News estimated attendance at “more than 1,000,” while the Washington Post reported that “the crowd thinly covered an area about the length of the National Museum of American History, smaller than some summer outdoor movie screenings.”
You wouldn’t feel the need to say that if they really did.
Trump’s favorite crowds are the ones that no one else can see.
Jesus. I thought you were making a joke with that picture. Then I looked at the USA today article.
IT’S REALLY THE STATE OF INDIANA EXHIBIT! Oh my good God.
Thank you for making me laugh. That’s perfect.
