I called my friend Mad Max in Kansas today to gauge his interest in attending the first annual Village Idiot Armada Days scheduled for June 22-26 in Las Vegas. I figure him attending is a long shot, but I thought I would give him a shout nonetheless. Besides, he makes me laugh:
"Trump you asshole!" He bellows as he answers, "I haven't heard from you in a while. What the hell have you been up to?" Mad Max is Trump man numero uno. All his posts on social media consist mostly of how much he loves Trump and hates all of the president's opposition. When Trump won the presidency it was as if he had hit the lottery - Now - I'm a Trump supporter as well, but Mad Max takes the cake...by a mile!
"Mad Max you asshole!" I've always found it better to talk forcefully to him - especially when you are trying to get a point across, "I need you to get your ass out here for VIAD. I guarantee we are going to touch on a number of things that your idol President Trump would approve of!" I then pause for a second and before he can speak - I yell - "Trump!" He immediately reciprocates my statement and then says, "You want to know something asshole...I mean Astle. I am feeling so much better about the direction of the country now that a businessman is in charge. I am going to do my best to come out to Las Vegas and listen to your spiel at VIAD. By the way I love the name...Village Idiot Armada Days," he says with a hearty laugh, "It's catchy. Only a flake like you could come up with something like that."
Mad Max and I go a long ways back. He's been to Las Vegas a couple times to see me, but not in a long while, so when he said he would do his best to come out for VIAD - I left it at that. I then asked if he had bought any new guns lately - "No," he says with a snicker, "No need to. Besides, we have a president who is a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. As long as that is the case I'm not worried about buying any more guns."
