Thimbleriggers sounds like the gang name of a rogue band of grannies crisscrossing the countryside, cornering the unsuspecting who bear unfortunate fashion choices like prefabricated garment holes, and deftly, and albeit rather slowly, darning the errant, thus making the world a better place one smarmy hipster at a time.
What are the issues that a thimble rig and its rigger could raise? “The hand is quicker than the eye”? “Now you see it; now you don’t”? Sleight of hand rigs?
I think the lady in the ’50’s housedress and gloves is just being fussy. Maybe she was dusting and found a dodgy neighbor’s attempted diversion offensive to her highly developed sense of cleanliness….
…no one within so many yards of a polling station is allowed to attempt to influence the voters going there…
…a beautiful big busted lady in a pink dress handing out water on an 85° day with no shade would seem idealic waiting in line for 5 hours…
…but what if she said with a quite pleasant smile…
…now don’t forget to vote for the new Froglandia ban on pickle butter?…
…why it could be assumed she was one of those thimbleriggers from Shelby County that amassed a fortune with their butter pickles, that’s what…
…it ain’t that I got anything against cancel culture…
…I’m all for canceling MLB and/or Coke if I get my own way from doing it…
..just you using it to get your way is like a Big boomed women in a pretty pink dress trying to hand out water to interfere in the election…only I am supposed to be able to do that…
Whataboutism, also known as whataboutery, is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy that attempts to discredit an opponent’s position by charging them with hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving their argument.
Whataboutism is particularly associated with Soviet and Russian propaganda.
The seamstress at the cleaners, with her gold thimble and reaper rigging an eighteen wheeler will fix global air condition in a holy way. Let me be the first to thank you.

Our thimbleriggers are also called politicians, and crooks, and swindlers, and con artists, and a whole bunch of different aliases.

I want to see the rest of her. Is the bee in her bonnet metaphorical or actual? Does her head resemble a thimblerigger’s pea?

This is what happens when your flying monkeys try to pick up and place into disarray anybody besides the straw man, though.

Such issues are quite trivial, my dear, not worth your trouble.
Is your dress from a Butterick pattern? Where did you get those gloves? Are your neighborhood thimbleriggers really wily?

I think the Mystery Man Mask should come with a wig, or else all the deception your try for will go for naught.

Really? A priest named Daniel A. Lord, S.J.? From his pamphlet, it looks like he only wants people to swear properly.

Day 2. Psst! While we wait for a new FA to drop, wanna try your luck at a little rig I work?
3hourtour Premium Member over 3 years ago
…sleeveless?!?…
…the shameless hussy…
…no wonder she doesn’t want to show her face in public…
…of course, if the old biddies saw ladies now-a-days…
… sweatpants?!?…
…to the prom?…
…made out of pink duct tape?…
…at least she’s dating the girl next store…
…though, that pleated skirt & sleeveless Clash t-shirt does look good on her brother…
…we wore burlap from sugar bag dresses when we were their age…
…and only gave hickies where Ma & Pa couldn’t see ‘em…
…honestly, that was the only reason I let Timmy unbutton my dress…
…and I only undressed him with my eyes…
…I mean, pretending to be blind, I sort a used my hands…
…we made out at the drive thru…
…I said, ’Shouldn’t this be at the drive in?…
…we all make mistakes…

Day 3. With no takers on my new rig, I am beginning to fixate on that amazingly tiny waistline. She must wear some serious corsetry….
