BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- One of my favorite Twitter follows is comedian Mr. George Wallace. George is usually seen wearing his
“I Be Thinkin” beret and philosophizing in his own unique and irreverent manner on a variety of current affairs. To wit:
Shout out to the top 5 markets in the world, stock, black, super, Boston and this little piggy went to.
Real talk, not enough rap songs discuss the pros and cons of high speed rail.
People straight up gettin' pregnant during this halftime show and whatnot
Shout out to the top 5 villes in the world, Nash, Louis, Margarita, vaude and Cruella de.
I'll straight up buy a Toyota at a marathon and a mare at a Toyotathon I really don't give a sh*t anymore.
You can watch a video of George’s show from the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas for free on Amazon right here:

All of which is a roundabout way of saying that
“FTS” has been doing some thinkin’ of our own, which is always a dangerous thing. Here goes:
