FYI - Another group of oyinbo (Euro-Americans aka so-called Whites) attempted a break-in at The Uptown Theater earlier today c. 10:35a.m. Absolutely brazen. Ninety-eight (98%) of the attempts have been oyinbo, usually TU-related, making podcasts, defacing the property w/ graffiti, or performing in The Theater. I asked them whether they knew that they might suffer from an epigenetic pathology where they have to encroach on / settle other people's places. They looked bewildered. Thanks to Bro. Justin C. aka QuizKnowz, Uptown Radio WJYN 98.5 FM Host-in-Training, for the back-up! NLOL
