Bob Ross, tyrant.

Bob Ross, tyrant.

My younger brother used to waste away Sunday (or was it Saturday) mornings watching The Joy of Painting. I watched once or twice but outdoor adventures always called and watching someone paint is probably more boring than watching golf ... or football. Hell, any sport.

Then, somewhere in my thirties someone mentions Bob Ross was only interesting if you were high. Maybe that's why I didn't care for the show - I've never been high in my life. Did that mean my brother was?

In retrospect ... maybe.

Regardless, I know Bob Ross is popular with certain people. Him and his happy trees and clouds.

Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
