The drunk guy looks around, listens for about three minutes, and quickly determines exactly what must be done. Frank grabs a mallet and a sign, and pounds it into the ground. The now famous signpost offers the eternal wisdom of the ancients:

Do Not Feed The Troll

Damn, and I thought I was disliked. 

Goes back to drinking. 

As the old Russian man was pushing his cart through the street, he passed a small crowd of people who were standing around a young man and were listening to his speech.

Exhausted from pushing the heavy cart he decided to take a little break and went on listening to the speech...

After a few minutes and half a bottle of water he pulled up his cart to the side of the street...

"CARROTS... FRESH CARROTS. GET YOUR CARROTS HERE.*

So it goes that Kuku is persona non grata.

The last time this happened, uncouth fools with limited or dire Street presence were in charge.

Then, as now, the good leaders kept theirs heads down.

Then, as now, supporters of Kuku voiced their endorsements in private.

Remember, misruling Knaves, that with oppression comes resistance.

As it goes I would suggest that a Street presence from a leader is no longer a requirement to be successful in this world.

It seems to me, and I am bit of a thick boyo, that so long as a presence from the family in these streets then this is acceptable. Obviously don't mean a lad like myself. But if a hand is a prominent figure and is the main voice piece of the family this is fine. I would suggest that this is the correct way to go as anything said by this fellow is held directly of consequence to the leader.

Just because a leader does not grace these streets it does not make them a bad leader. But also because you see a leader 'keep his head down' do not assume he is a 'good' leader.

As for you getting support in private. That shows to me that being affiliated to you is bad for your health and that your supporters wish to stay alive. So they may support you in private but to be frank. That doesn't mean shit.

Brendan, but there is always a reckoning.

BigDaddy, bless your little heart, you encapsulate so much of what is wrong with this thing of ours

So it goes that Kuku is persona non grata.

Dedshot pounded down his walker on the ground

GOODNESS GRACIOUS,

Whatever gave you that impression?

Then again, I must state that if that is the case.... you, who claim to "get it" and see the undercurrent of the happenings in MRLand... seems NOT TO HAVE A CLUE what it is that is best for you to do.

Dedshot went back to shuffling down the street on his way to the old woman with the killer pocketbook.... this time, he would get her!
