Take a poke, buttface

Even though I literally have the book with this story on my computer (it’s from Jake Lambert’s biography of Lester Flatt), I’m typing this up from 100% memory, so don’t sue me if I get a detail or five wrong. And yes, this one’s long, NYEH. Deal with it. ;)

-----

The year was 1962. Flatt & Scruggs were about to hire a *｡★｡･:*✧ new band member ★.*✧･｡★. His name was Billy Powers. He was going to be hired to be both the band bus driver and a guitarist. And Billy was E X C I T E D. Boooom baby, he was going to be working FOR FLATT & SCRUGGS!!!!!

Well, the band was on their way to pick up Billy at an event to get his new illustrious career started. And unbeknownst to Billy, as the band was driving their bus to the event, they were discussing the very important matter of Conspiracy: How to give Billy the best most wholesome welcome they could... by means of a prank.

A songwriter friend, Jake Lambert, was on the bus, too. They realized Jake and Billy had never met before. Herein lay the key for their winning prank idea. Earl Scruggs suggested that Jake would pretend to be a reporter interviewing Billy for a newspaper article. Just in case Jake’s name had been passed around in music circles, they gave Jake a cover name... very inconspicuously moving the emphasis of his last name from the first to the second syllable. He was Jake Lam*BERT* now. Completely new person. Completely new identity. Nothing fishy about this at all.

Well. Billy was apparently excited and gullible enough to believe this random dude on the bus was a reporter coming to interview Specifically Billy. Billy was delighted at this interview opportunity. Not only would he be joining with an amazing band, but it would be talked about in the paper!!!

The prank was not immediate smooth sailing, though, because the band ended up having dinner with Fancy Prestigious People including the... governor... (I believe)... who then proceeded to ask Jake what he did with a living since he wasn’t a member of the band. Jake, seated right next to Billy, found himself in very hot water trying to bullshit the details of what his ‘job’ was in front of governmental leadership... before someone else in the band swept in for the rescue with a topic change.

With that close-call averted, Jake was able to take Billy into the bus for the interview. The bus had one section blocked off with a curtain, which is where Jake and Billy stepped behind. The rest of the band, wanting in on the action, sat on the other side of the curtain and leaned in and listened. At least as long as they could before they lost it laughing. Several band members had to leave the bus because they couldn’t hold it in. Flatt and Scruggs themselves resorted to stuffing towels in their mouth to dampen their laughter. Billy, unsuspecting, made it all the way through the interview, and when it was done, Earl Scruggs tried to make a fake show of being grumpy that it had “taken so long.”

Well. Obviously. A few days later. Billy Powers realized he’d been had. He laughed at how he’d been had, and then proceeded to spend the next few years of his life with the band.

Time passed. A real reporter came for Flatt & Scruggs, wanting to do an interview with each band member individually. Billy was inside, so a bandmate came to Billy to tell him the news that a person of a Certain Type Of Profession was out to interview him.

Billy, believing he dare not fall for this twice, delivered to his friends the well-worded message, “FuCK. yOU!!!!”

Everyone in the band except him ended up being interviewed for the article.

Two Locations pt. 3 (botgd 2)

X

Stonegit observed the scene and his eyes narrowed at the cloaked man. The last he needed was Egil to get hurt in the heat of an argument or be attacked by an unlikely assassin. He slung a small crossbow out from his coat and quietly loaded it from under the table. 

That said, the situation seemed innocent enough for now. Although he did find himself glaring at the sticky drink now dripping down onto various areas of the tavern.

Hey Frank, what's your favorite kind of cat?

What does one do with a "fucking cat" and what is the definition of "fucking cat"? I don't know

[kingofthewilderwest]

okokokokok last character bingo from me i swear but: Bill Monroe

Bruh, I love your prompts. XD Thanks for spamming!

I like doing Bill dirty. ;) that's what she said Bill Monroe is too easy to speak irreverently on! It's just because I love him! One of THE most characters of all time. Like how is that man even real?

yo. unusual asks. 3, 11, 16, 21

3. rant. just do it

Okay so something that really pisses me off is when there’s a confrontation between two people and the person who was wronged continues to interact with the other people and borderline antagonize them? Like, I was looking through the Public Freakout subreddit today and there are so many people who get confronted by a racist person or whatever and then also call them names and argue with them?

Like??? What the fuck are they thinking? Continuing to argue with bigots is a futile effort. Telling them why they’re wrong isn’t going to work. Trying to get them to admit they’re wrong isn’t going to work. Insulting them isn’t going to work. All it will do is make them madder which will just escalate the situation further. And like, yeah, there’s some enjoyment in watching bigots get really pissed and lose control but also like....it’s not going to solve anything!

All continuing to antagonize bigots does is add fuel to the fire of 1) why they hate the people they’re bigoted against and 2) makes their victim complex even bigger. AND! It gives them a platform and a rallying point for OTHER bigots to find! It just makes all the divides in the country worse!

While I have sympathy for people who are attacked by bigots, I only have so much when they continue to goad the bigot in the first place. The ONLY solutions are to leave, shut up, or repeat the same non-insulting phrase over and over (the broken record method). It’s not an argument. Bigots want a reaction. The ONLY way to fight them without contributing to the cultural problems in this country are non-interaction.

And this also applies to internet arguments as well, because people will go on and on against a bigot. They’re not going to concede the point. It’s not a debate. Stop giving them a platform! If you feel you have to respond to them, do it ONCE and then move on.

Note: obviously, things can turn violent. Don’t fucking instigate the violence.

So many people are just fucking idiots when it comes to “shutting down” bigots or whatever the term is. The best shut down is non-interaction or deescalation.

11. what unusual talent do you have?

Honestly, I don’t think I have an unusual talents. The things that I’m good at are either common talents or skills that I have deliberately developed.

16. if you had to get a tattoo right now, what would you get and where?

The musical notation for the two main melodies of HTTYD played at the same time, tattooed on my left forearm (one of the cues I’m talking about is here.)

21. what’s a conspiracy you believe in?

Parts of the art trade among the uber rich are just money laundering schemes

lightraize your dongers

hi anon, thank you for reminding me of my favorite personal joke

[grosutina]

As seen on @bezakonik -describe yourself only in images you have saved on your phone

@stormed-just-once @vlodwassiliew @lightraize

[ladytitanium]

hey, i'm not here to ask what happened or anything, cuz it's certainly not my business. but like, can't you turn anon off? that'd probably deter them, y'know?

yeah but I get a lot of really nice anons too and I don’t want to close myself off to that avenue of positivity just because some douchebag or small collective of douchebags is trying to ruin that for me.

lightraize responded to your post:

Fear of a Monster, and Blind Tears sound really cool! Well, they all do, but I really like those two. As for where you could try posting, I’m not sure. Another person I follow used their own website to host theirs and had a separate tumblr for news..

Those are two that I’m really excited for, heh! I’ve put a lot of work into them, I’m so glad you’re interested!

I’ve never been very good with certain types of internet stuff, and personal websites is one of them. So that’s the one thing I need really solid advice for. And a separate account for the story sounds like a really good idea! I could make it a sideblog maybe..? Hmm..

[kingofthewilderwest]

OKAY NOW FOR AN ACTUALLY FICTIONAL CHARACTER: Diane Nguyen! from Bojack. Horseman, obviously.

Good character! I feel I have thoughts on her but this board didn't bring them out.
