Steemit really is amaze-balls. Where else can one battle mega-tyrants and petty-losers alike, while at the same time building friendships, wealth, and the ultimate power — knowledge? ...Oh yeah, right, there is no other place! And you can do it all in a housecoat and a pair of slippers.

If you are reading this and are neither a mega-tyrant nor a petty-loser, then please accept my warm welcome to Steemit, and my invitation to have a lookout below. If you are reading this and have been following me (thank you! Every one of you...) then prepare yourself for some serious badassery. The following story i hope encourages benevolence and philanthropy, and somehow begins to pay back all of you truly exceptional people who frequently give more than they take.

Here’s a pic i took of my view from the Captains quarters.

Pinch and zoom, have a look around... there’s my 25oz solid 999 Ag canon shell that holds my grand-daddy’s ring. It holds me late beloved father’s ring too when it’s not being worn. And over there is my kick-ass JBL Charge 3 bluetooth speaker and portable phone charger (apparently it’s fucking waterproof too up to 12” of water for a couple minutes) — check that shit out and then go get one, they’re awesome! And cost less than a 10-bar...eeek, my stackitus is coming back lol. And over there, my mood lighting that i use to take cool pics of silver (...which some have found to be scandalous BAH HA HA!!!) Oh, and look, an Apmex sticky-note that has been stuck to a picture frame for several months now. What’s it say? “Stay Cool My Man — @raybrockman.” Huh...and a letter too from the same person.
Just who is this Ray Brockman?

Allow me to explain...

He is, without a shadow of a doubt, the baddest motherfucker around! And by that i mean: the most generous, hilarious, inventive, creative, good-looking, huge hammer swinging genius that i have had the vast pleasure to have met on this platform. Ladies and Gentlemen please stand up

(...thedamus literally stands up and continues to thumb is phone for this next bit)

And put your hands together for:

Mr. RAY BROCKMAN — Patron Saint (and veritable Santa Claus mixed with a little Einstein) of the most kickass tag of them all #steemsilvergold

Wha’choo talkin’ about Willis?

As might have been expected, this story continues with an unboxing...

...a brief pause out of respect for formalities 😜
and then the teaser pic

Sherlock Holmes: Okay Watson, what can you deduce from all you have seen thus far?

Watson: Ray Brockman kicks serious ass and things are about to get shiny ‘round here.

Sherlock Holmes: Excellent!

I’m not usually rendered speechless...

Thanks Man! Seriously. Thank you very much!

A 5g PAMP 2012 Dragon is remarkably appropriate and will feature heavily in my next drag show, but it is also a remarkably generous gift from a guy who HELPED ME make literally thousands of dollars!

But Ray is not just a garden variety Ass-kicker, no, he is a serious motherfuckin’ Ass-kicker. So you know there’s some more boots coming. He also sent me THIS!!!

As i said to owen below: From the heart of a Supernova — to the hand of a man...

AND FUCKING THESE!!!

AND FUCKING THIS!!!

Stackitus? What stackitus...? I am freshly medicated with a heavy dose of the serum, “you got the silver” (Stones, Let it Bleed) playin’ on the JBL, father Ray’s holy spirit is all around me, i’m happy, warm and safe, and are you fucking serious!!!? YOU GORGEOUS MOTHERFUCKER!

There’s yet more...

5 x 1/2oz 2015 “First Special Service Force” rounds recognizing the inseparability and friendship between our two great nations.

I am fucking blown away...

⚡️✨✨👊😎✨✨⚡️

GAME ON YOU GORGEOUS MOTHERFUCKER!!!

...has gots your number

Ray Brockman

For he’s a jolly good fellow
For he’s a jolly good fellow
For he’s a jolly good fellow
Which, nobody can deny

Cheers! from @thedamus
