The Most Interesting Tarp In The World.

1. His cars come straight off the dealer's lot, onto blocks on his lawn.

His remaining tooth stands as a monument to solitude.

He does so much meth, Walter White has his number.

He is the Most Interesting Tarpman In The World.

2. My favorite meme of tarpman...

(can't locate it now) was simply the picture of him under the tarp with the caption:

NOW IS THE WINTER

OF OUR DISCOUNT TENT

6. HA!!!

I gotta find that one!

[malaise]

13. ROFL

High quality DUzy

3. Can't get on board with this...

a guy died

[MynameisBlarney]

4. I hear ya.

And I understand.
But IMHO, he was an anti-American terrorist.
He got what he asked for, and I have absolutely zero sympathy for him.

7. I agree, I'm not down with the jokes and the grave-dancing

I want them all arrested, tried, and convicted - but not dead. And like with any shooting by law enforcement, I want to see a transparent investigation and convincing evidence that it was necessary in the specific circumstances of that stop...

8. No sympathy here. He chose to die.

All he had to do was adhere to LE instructions when they were pulled over. He chose not to. He, along with his cohorts are nothing more than domestic terrorists.

For someone who was so anti-government he was a grifter, being paid by the Government to take in foster children that he then used for slave labor on his ranch (while probably indoctrinating them into his idiotic ideology).

You notice how so many of the anti-government crowd are actually grifters who take advantage of government money while complaining about how bad government is?

9. A guy who was deliberately courting a violent confrontation to advance his politics died.

A tragedy it is not.

10. just looked at a post i did earlier...

re: a kid who willfully drank fuel thinking it would be like a power drink

14. I find myself chucking

but I dig what you said too.

I chalk this to the kind of gallows humor that keeps you sane...

[Act_of_Reparation]

16. Then don't.

I get that there are people who can't see the comedy in gallows humor. What I don't understand their narcissistic need to wag their fingers at those that do. The kind of people able to extract humor from the worst of circumstances aren't likely to find their piety impressive. I can only presume they inject themselves into these conversations for the same reason people still go to church: so they can be seen by people whose approval they seek.

If that's the case, they should probably just get a dog. A big, dumb golden retriever will love you absolutely no matter what you do. And you can train them to fetch you a beer from the fridge. So there's that.

5. It's a well-known truism in gangster movies:

if you're talking to the boss, DO NOT stand on the tarp. It's there for a reason.

[Mendocino]

11. The Blue Shroud of Malheur

are they going to bury him in that thing?

15. For older DUers...

"He disrupted poorly."

17. there's a TarpMaaan waiting in the sky

he'd like to come and meet us
but got stopped along the way
there's a TarpMan waiting in the sky
he told us to send snacks
'cause he knows they're hungry guys
