Unfortunately, or fortunately, I ran into another Tom I had not met before on here and that would be @tomfreeman , who actually was very instrumental in me closing up the church after two days. I am referring all my church followers over to him since he is already big into #steemchurch on here. These are both great guys and so they are both recipients of a steembasicincome sponsorship courtesy of the old man, me.
That leaves me one other sponsorship to dole out this week and it is a hard choice, since I don’t have another Tom right off the top of my head so I can have a Tom Trifecta. I thought about doing just a random search and pick out someone with the name Tom but we all know that just wouldn’t be right.
Then, I thought about if I knew any Uncle Tom’s on here, but again, I struck out on the Uncle Tom’s. You can never find one when you need one, kind of like the cops, they are always hanging around in your business when you don’t need them but they vanish when you do.
So that has left me kind of in bad situation, speaking of bad situations, I went in search of Pandora’s Box this week and I couldn’t even find one of those, and I was in the town of Pandora, Texas. You would think they would be available there, but no way. In fact there wasn’t even a gas station in that town, they had a church and a post office and that was about it. I guess if you want anything there in that town it better be a sermon or package of stamps.
Then I had a real brainstorm, I’d go look in my followers list and grab a Tom out there and then I would have my Tom Trifecta. So off I went and sure as shooting I had two Toms in my followers, one is already on my list in @tomfreeman so that left me with one and that was all I needed. There is just one problem though; I’m not going to sponsor a dead man.
@tomitheus was my other Tom, he joined here back in November of 2017 and as quickly as he got here he disappeared. I went and looked at his blog, he made three posts in rapid succession and high tailed it out of town, but he did follow me before he left. I guess I might have scared his ass off, since he was only following me and two bots. Back then though my charisma was not quite as polished as it is now, if he ever comes back and proves he’s alive I’ll include him by default, but not today.
I continue to keep typing but there just isn’t any Toms coming to mind, normally I just type and the shit comes to me like diarrhea but I’ve got writers blockage I guess, because I’m like plugged up here on finding a Tom. Wait, just a minute, how about a cat, a tomcat, is @grumpycat a tomcat? Does anybody know? Well, I can’t wait on answers, I have got to get this done, there is a pillow that keeps whispering to me and I’m getting where I’m starting to listen.
@slobberchops is going to be the third and final sponsorship this week; and for all I know his name might very well be Tom. But he is the one who actually exposed me to the steembasicincome program and without him doing that I wouldn’t even be on this here sponsoring people each week that I am doing. So, @slobberchops, even if your name isn’t Tom, you are as close as I can get for now, and I’ll just consider you as an Uncle Tom.
