:musical_note: My father was a dumpster down in Georgia,
And he wound up on the wrong end of a gun.
And I floated away from the town of Myrtle Beach
Rollin on the waves of the o-ce-an.

Lord, I was born a ramblin’ can,
Tryin’ to make a livin’ and doin’ the best I can.
And when it’s time for disposin’,
I hope you’ll understand,
That I was born a ramblin’ can. :musical_note:

Huh, that’s no ordinary bin. Did it get hit by radioactive waste? :crazy_face:

My mother is from Achill Island, Ireland; just a few miles from where the blue barrel was found. As I was reading this story, she texted me and asked if I heard about it yet. It will probably become a hot topic of conversation in the local pubs this week.

The real question is, at what point in it’s journey did it stop being a trash can and start being a trash bin? At the half-way point or when it landed on the shores of Ireland?

That would be a big loss for Bannon, losing his bin. What else could so perfectly represent his inner being? (-‸ლ)
