Tarp-Rollers Defined

I worked at Pine Knob when I was in school, which was the country's most popular outdoor musical theater at the time. People could bring in whatever they wanted as long as it wasn't in a glass container. That meant cans, flasks, gallon milk jugs and even kegs. And almost every night, a handful of people would end up on a 30x30 tarp we'd lay out for them to get sick and flounder around on.

One night, during an Ozzie Osbourne show, two of these drunks discovered each other and started shouting "Ozzie! Ozzie!" at each other. Then one of them decided to make his way over to the other, using a breast stroke and laughing his ass off as he assured his new found friend that he was "swimming" to him through the filth. They thought they were so funny and so clever. Us sober folks, not so much.

I think of those guys often when I see over-the-top MAGA folks reveling in their guy's trail of destruction.
