The Hiking DUmmie (Missouri to Washington) begins to complain one day into trip

[BattleHymn]

It is a futile attempt at compassion, as we all know conservatives are the most compassionate people because we actually do compassionate things wherein liberals expect everyone else to, by force in most cases.  Jumping frogs and pseudo pixel hugs are not compassion.  Nevertheless, it's a futile attempt because of the martyr complex and the likelihood that any offer would be ignored.  Honestly, I don't much believe the story.   It's pixel sympathy for political measure, a bouncy of sorts methinks.  I could be wrong, but at this point I don't think I am.  

Greyhound bus fare out of Joplin to Seattle runs at a little over $200 for TWO people.  The Hiking DUmmie mentioned picking a Dell Inspiron laptop for $100.  With the $200 they have to their name, plus hocking the laptop for $20-$30 at a pawn shop, they'd have enough money to cover two tickets on Greyhound.

Yeah but they would arrive flat broke. This way they can save money, spend 30+ days on the road without a bath and arrive flat broke.

If y'all do any traveling to speak of.
You've no doubt run into the type that stay at highway rest stops, and panhandle for "gas money".
I run into that fairly often.
Had a couple gallons in a container once.
Offered to put it in his tank.
No deal, he just wanted money.
He got neither.
I can just see those two trying to pull that off.

Soon to be seen on a street corner in Seattle.

Oh my, that's a sad photo.

I believe that's the first time I've ever seen a ballerina in wingtips.

If it's dressed as a faerie sans wings, it's a DU male. So the wingtips make sense.

On the one hand, it reminds me of Stephen King's and Peter Straub's The Talisman. On the other hand, these are DUmmies, are they posting photographs of themselves at the DUmp? Even then, I'm hard pressed to believe this is anything more than DUmmie Internets Theater.

With an emphasis on the "PLUS".

It gets c-c-c-cold-d-d on the Front Range in late September. Should have retraced the old Oregon Trial. Guess they figured the residents of Colorado would be more accomondating to them than the peeps in Wyoming.

And then Wyoming and Idaho become "wolf country"...aroooo!

Here's how the Wyoming State Police will find them next spring:

Well, I've been ceaselessly scouring the DUmp since I got home from work today, all to no avail, as there was no word from The Hiking DUmmie today.  

The last three days around here have been pushing the thermometer up close to 100 degrees again.  This probably does not bode well with them hitching a ride for the time being, since most people don't look too highly on their back seat smelling like they hauled around something from Monkey Island at the zoo.  

I would imagine that The Hiking DUmmie has hoofed it way out into the middle of Red State hell (as GOBUCKS calls it), where they found out the wi-fi doesn't grow on bushes, and they have to sleep out every night.

Perhaps a better name for this DUmmie is the Big Rock Candy DUmmie?

Now that's a sore hamstring.
