    When I was in Jamaica, one of the tour guides pointed out the (former, I think?) house of a celebrity. Apparently, you always knew when the celebrity was in town because, quote, “you could smell them smoking.”

    When he said this, I sincerely thought the guide meant smoking meat until I made a comment about that and everyone started laughing at me.

        He has some weird obsession with bbq sauce too. What’s the deal with that? Does he think that is what the humans do?

        It is not, but I am amused that - even with all that money - he still went with cheap folding chairs.

          Bold of you to assume this isn’t just some Studio set he used for the moment to be one of the folks

          You can still see the creases in the fabric. Literally never been sat in before, and probably went directly into the garbage afterwards

              If you pack and unpack something enough, the wrinkles kind of distribute more evenly instead of those sharp “square” patterns. Looking at the other hints in the picture like the fence in the background and the concrete slab, it seems this was set up hastily in some lot or alley.

          Look at that “yard.” Weird old cheap red-stained lumber behind a “rustic” fence that doesn’t even reach the bare, dirt ground, a bare concrete slab, folding chairs just unwrapped with factory wrinkles, cables laying on the ground like a stagehand set it up, and absolutely no personal touches other than the smoker and barbecue.

          This was obviously staged in some lot or ally behind the Meta Factory or wherever the fuck Zuck incubates and “smokes meat.”
