The Man, The Hats, The Legend

The Reality behind the meme.

He’s not wrong.

Every once in awhile a particular type of 'poast' or 'poaster' on the internet goes viral, or develops a legend around them, wether they know it or not.

Kevin says Good Day to his Canadian Fans

One such poaster is Kevin Kenneth Koehnke, whose selfies featuring his custom made trucker caps are instantly recognizable. Mr Koehnke has had quite a mysterious sort of legend spring up around him, due to his past 'BoomerWaffen' poasting on Facebook, and in part to other internet accounts sharing his pictures, acting as a sort of homage, a tribute, which only add to his fame.

I finally tracked Mr Koehnke down, and he shares his life and many stories from the road with us.

You can find 'Uncle Kevin' on Twitter - https://twitter.com/KoehnkeKevin
