Yeah, Squid! Explain why this guy thinks you’re beefing with FFA!

I think they’re confusing a beef with the FFA with my absolutely justified boycott of the county fair 4H best canned preserves competition.

Mrs. Murphy was robbed. Did you see those strawberry rhubarb preserves of hers? A true can of artistry.

Are those people you talk about kids with bad hygiene that will be farmers in a few years or are they already american farmers who just wish for a filthy future?

Performative idiocy is this most contemptible idiocy.

The story was already funny. This is the cherry on top.

I think baiting rednecks into donating money to social programs so they can performatively destroy a fake guitar might be my favorite genre.

Even if it WAS authentic: absolutely worth it.

Yeah, I mean, the dude owned it fair and square. Destroying it hurts no one but himself.

“Win this guitar signed by Barack Obama!” Raffle it in Texas.

In tiny print at the bottom of the ad: “all proceeds go to Planned Parenthood”.

I don’t think you can call it a fake, from what I understand the charity has a guitar along with a CD insert signed by Swift. It’s actually kind of funnier if he wasn’t duped, just not smart why to know what he was bidding on, lol
