A Cup of Coffee, American Dreams, and a Pepe!
(Image tediously crafted by hand in Elon Musk's abomination Grok)
Sipping my coffee this morning, and reading through some old @pepetoken posts to get a sense of the lore, I realized I had never made a pepe posting. Honor bound to remedy that I fired up Grok, which can occasionally generate a respectable image. Wrangling with Grok, can be fun or it can be an exercise in frustration - like trying to teach calculus to the naked hobo, outside 7-11. You can do it, but it doesn't mean you should or that you will enjoy the process.
After about 20-some minutes of tweaks and wrangling, I had my Pepe "masterpiece". I'm a late Gen-Xer (52 years old) so I like some dated cultural references. I'm old enough to have watched the original Transformer cartoon, on a color television on a Saturday Morning.
In the 1980s kids would watch cartoons on broadcast television, from about 7:30 to 10:00. One of your dumb brothers or friends would want to watch Smurfs or something else dumb. So you would fight some, get another bowl of Luck Charms, or Fruity Pebbles and go back to watching good cartoons. Somewhere around 10:00 boring shows about golf would come on and you'd go outside and play, ride bikes, play a sport, etc -it was a substantially different world in small-town America in the 1980s.
So after some reminiscing and another cup of coffee enjoy this "Pepe & Prime" - Rollout and Powerup!

I hated when the smurfs came along and ruined saturday morning cartoons, but I was out of the house soon after, so that part of life simply died, for me.
I still remember watching 3 stooges before skool, and saturday night wrestling on ktvt before the corporation swallowed all the regionals.
Growing up in North Carolina regional wrestling was huge here. Even as kids we knew it wasn't real, but it ws real cool to watch the Road Warriors et. al
One of my uncles actually looked a big like Dr. Death Steve Williams when he was younger, though my uncle probably broader.
That's another wave of nostaliga, one of wrestling nerd friends even kept a notebook where he mades rankings and list of wrestlers :)
