Alt text: A photo of Mike Pence in a leather biker vest with a bunch of bland patches on it, like two different Indiana patches and an American flag patch. He's got both hands outward and his fingers are pointing, reminiscent of that old Steve Martin sketch where him and Dan Aykroyd are The Festrunk Brothers, "just two wild and crazy guys."

On behalf of Indiana, my apologies to everyone!

I also feel like that would make a great slogan for my state.

"another person"?! How dare you slander Dan Aykroyd and The Festrunk Brothers good name with your comparison.

Besides, we all know mother dressed him.

My deepest apologies, but my brain couldn't remember the other half of the Festrunk Brothers. I will correct my grave error.

Don't forget he also donned a bomber jacket and glared menacingly at North Korea once.

I couldn't find the picture in the link you shared, but here's one where he looks extra mean.
