On January 9th, 2023, an amazing message was shared on I-84 in Danbury.

The message was attached to a trailer and it read "F--- Putin." A short video of the truck driving through the Hat City was posted to Youtube and Instagram by @rescueresponder

Normally, I'd go with the Captain Obvious take and say things like, oh and Hitler is bad too! Or, isn't ice cream the best? But that is not fair because this short message lifted me up, it lifted us all up. Every one of us is better for having seen the words "F--- Putin" roll through our wonderful city.

By nature, Americans are tough and a bit boisterous, sometimes we need to get all of that out of our system. We need to puff our chests and roll like a peacock to remind each other how great this country is. This Vlad character has caused the world great suffering, fear and anxiety. We need to remember that our eternal battle against evil is the righteous path and we have each other's back. #F---Putin #MERICA

Not only should we disrespect this man and curse his name but we should also make fun of him at every turn. That is what I call, Putin it in perspective.

10 Things You Never Say to Someone From Danbury

When in Rome, Do as the Romans Do, that is the famous saying. When in Danbury, don't say these things, that is not famous yet but I am working on it.

12 Signs You're a True American 'Tough Guy'

Our culture morphs and those shifts mean certain types of behavior have an expiration date. What you once thought was "cool" or "tough" may make you look like a straight up D-bag now. The problem is, when our culture pivots, not everyone gets the memo.

You could find yourself in a room with someone born in the 60's, another in the 80's, a man who was born in the 90's and another in the 2000's, they are all going to have different ideas about what makes them a man. 

What makes you a "tough guy" today? For starters, the term itself is a punch line, if someone calls you a "tough guy", they are picking on you. This list was supposed to be titled "Top Signs You're a Raging Douche" but my editor nixed that, so these are the "Top Signs You're a Real Tough Guy."
