"Bam" seems a common nickname even if you're not in to Bum Noticing. Bam Margera of Jackass of course ("His grandfather nicknamed him 'Bam Bam' at the age of three after noticing his habit of purposely running into walls"). Quite a few wrestlers called "Bam Bam" too. I guess Americans really like running into things.

"Mr. Trump's campaign on Friday named David Bossie, one of the president's closest political confidants, to head up its legal team. The addition of Mr. Bossie, who isn't an attorney, comes three days after polls closed ..."

Mr Bossie. That's who is going to tell the country they can't decide who the President is. Mr Bossie.

Idly read something about anti-vaxxers the other day and was prompted to check out the Facebook page of a former colleague who I'd long since blocked, a one-time Hooray Henry meets Legend Gary type who had moved abroad and become a mad anti-vaxxer. Found that over the last few weeks and months he's been sharing videos by some nut called DEL BIGTREE.

Was quite amused to see our former mutual boss commenting on one of the videos he'd shared calling him out for being a reality-detached fruitloop.

Christ, if I'd been sleeping rough the last thing I'd want is to be forcibly awoken by acoustic proselytising. No court in the land would convict etc.
