Fun 20 something things: Number 1

When I was 20 something, I tried to intentionally get myself onto the terrorist no fly list.

So this goes all the way back to the MySpace days, when Tom was your friend and idiots jockeyed for position on your top 8. In other words, a million years ago, or so it feels in a Facebook centric world.

Hey, some people do drugs in their youth and people like me decided I didn’t care if I flew. Since I hate planes anyway.

So it was inspired by some list floating around the internet that basically said ways to get on the no fly list. One of which was writing in Arabic. So I can’t quite remember the song, but I went out of my way to find the darkest song lyrics I could and had Google translate them into Arabic Sanskrit and posted them to my MySpace feed.

I don’t really know how effective it was, as I don’t have a passport anyways, however, years later I would be deemed a terrorist by the former mayor of Biddeford. Which was quite the badge of honor.

Also, he tried to have me banned from city hall

Unfortunately for him, I went on to accidentally become the face of his Biddeford’s week.

Anyways I bring this up because apparently government is censoring people who are radicalized or something like that. Invoking trans folk even. Something on TikTok. Well, I’m not trans, but I love pissing people off, so let’s say one of the forbidden words for old times sake,uh? CISGENDER

Love a radical!

Stay metal 🤘
