Agnes by Tony Cochran for January 23, 2023

ummm if it’s not OK in US already then I doubt it would work in Canada

The path to freakdom is shorter than you think. You already live in a trailer park.

To be a freak in Canada you only need to cross a street against the traffic light.

Tod Browning’s Agnes. “Gooble gobble. Canada accepts you. Freaks like Ron.”

Their Prime Minister already has a lock on that title.

Uncle Ron looks like the kid who was working the checkout at the grocery store when I went through last week. He was fast, efficient and accurate so I can’t complain.

they want to get freaky together?

That shows how little they know about Canada.

Most of those “freak shows” that traveled from one small town to another across the USA went out of business in the 1950s, not so much from government regulation as from the advent of television.

He was known as “Heckraiser”… ☺

I just did a google search for freaks in Canada.

Long line there…..

You can be a freak wherever you wish.

Random Musings:

Blood relative, or just someone who hung around with Trout’s mom for a while?

Might still be a career choice, Agnes, but choose wisely — there’s usually no turning back.

Reminded me of a photo that was emailed to me about 20 years ago (and I still have the photo on my computer). The guy in the picture could more than give Uncle Ron a run for his money. He was a smiling young man with an excessive number of piercings and tattoos, and bright red hair. The caption read, “I will never complain about MY kid again.”

Very seldom to we ever appear to be inside Trout’s trailer…

(It may happen more often than is apparent, since sometimes there’s no indication either way.)

Finish your education, get a job, take responsibility for yourself. In today’s society you’ll be a freak.
