Even your favorite bad influence needs a day off.

Apparently “labor” is frowned upon today, so we considered opening…

Then we remembered 𝗪𝗘 𝗢𝗪𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗖𝗘.

So today, you’re on your own.

Try to behave.
Or don’t. Just leave our name out of the police report.

Kinston Police Department — if you see this, we have voluntarily removed ourselves from the situation before there even is a situation. That’s growth. Please put that in the report

𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗧𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝗔𝗧 𝟮𝗣𝗠.

We’ll resume being a terrible influence then.
