'Pillow Man' and 'BunkerBoy' are going to have to create their own 'Interweb' before long the way things are going for them.

He calls it Frank, and it offers "free speech" so long as you don't use what Lindell calls the "four swear words" - the "C-word," the "N-word," the "F-word" or "God's name in vain."

Which would totally ruin the whole thing for me, because how the hell are you going to talk about Mike Lindell without the words "crook," "nutcase," "fraudster" or "God, Lindell is an asshole and his pillows suck"?

You're not the kid who found the condom on the sidewalk and said, "Hey, here's a balloon - let's blow it up!" - are you?


(but you DO get extra credit for expanded vocabulary. I can hear Edith Bunker:
"Oh, Archie, not THOSE words!"

There were two drugstores and three supermarkets in the town I grew up in. None of them sold condoms. All the kids who wanted to have sex (there were quite a few; the only things to do in St. Maries, Idaho, in the 1970s were weed smoking, beer drinking and sex - and since no one in my class got pregnant while we were in high school, condom use must have been rampant) had to drive 60 miles one-way to Spokane to invest in Trojans.

Cute side story: One of my troops in Berlin was really interested in Ancient Greece. The University of Maryland had a one-day Ancient Greece seminar on a Saturday; because we were working that day he asked for it off and I gave it to him. He comes in on Sunday and we asked him, "so, did you learn anything?" "Yeah...I learned all rubbers are named after Greek gods."

"My Pillow Giza Cotton Dream Bed Sheets"

Has to be another scam knowing how this guy operates.

I have no way to prove this, but I suspect that his crack habit has affected his mental health to this day. At least he's not yammering about tiger blood.

BTW....love your sig file.

Pillow man does not need Vimeo. He has his own social media now.

Wonder how it's going?

The last that I saw was him talking with a Trump imitator.

I'm not aware that Trump was banned on Vimeo - so who was he promoting who was banned?
