According to Pam’s House Blend, Larry Stickney of Protect Marriage
Washington has a Twitter follower FAIL:
Yep, two (2) followers. No SEO guys? No life coaches? No Bacon/Anti-

UPDATE: 
And then I saw these guys - two conga players, a maracas player, and two guys playing ELECTRIC mbiras (they were wearing battery powered amps.
