An Oklahoma museum put its head of security in charge of its social media account during its closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and his posts are now going viral around the country.
The National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City announced on March 16 that it was closing to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus. The museum then shared a post on social media, announcing that Tim, head of security, will take on the additional duty of social media management SNIP
“I have been asked to take on the additional duty of social media management while the museum is closed. I’m new to social media but excited to share what I am told is called ‘content’ on all of The Cowboy’s what I am told are ‘platforms’ including the Twitter, the Facebook, and the Instagram. My team and I will also continue to protect and monitor the museum and grounds. Thanks, Tim We are required to smile in our official photos. Send,” the museum’s Facebook post stated.
Tim has since been sharing his adventures throughout the museum on social media, and his hilarious posts have quickly gone viral online:
@ncwhm Hello, my name is Tim and I am the head of security for The Cowboy. I have been asked to take on the additional duty of social media management while the museum is closed. I’m new to this but excited. My team will also continue to protect and monitor the museum. Thanks, Tim
@ncwhm This is the hat and eyepatch the Duke wore in the movie True Grit. They are part of our Exhibition about the 2 True Grit. Lots of interesting props and clothes. I’m told I can’t try it on. Hashtag John Wayne. Lucas, my grandson, told me to use hashtags. Thanks, Tim

That’s a great museum.
It’s good to remember that fun stuff can ‘Go Viral’ too.
Good for Tim. Stay away from politics, sex and religion, you should be okay.
Fumanchus are in?
The stuffed mummy cowboy in the museum was once known as Don Imus.
(late great Tim Russert joke)
I used to have a picture of myself from way back with a Fu Manchu. Embarassing.
Unfortunately, to the communist crowd, mentioning John Wayne's name is political...
Almost as bad as talking about Ronald Reagon, which is essentially outlawed in schools in the DC populated sections of MD...
OMG that is so great! He is probably doing a better job than a professional.
Oh, that’s too funny.
His “TickTock.”
Gonna see if my friends in OKC have seen this.
I mean, I get the joke about not being allowed to wear the eye patch and hat. Ha ha. Museum humor. Everyone knows you can't actually handle the exhibits.
Maybe I should get my own grandson to explain some of this to me.
I think it’s the fact he doesn’t really know what he is doing. For example, he wrote out hashtag, instead of using the symbol #.
Oh. I see it now. Heh, heh. That is funny. I thought he was calling himself Hashtag Tim.
It’s the refreshing naïveté, like he doesn’t know about platforms and content, puts them in quotes. It’s funny.
Not a good look on any man.
Ah. Thanks. I don’t get the selfie station thing. I’m assuming he’s doing something wrong there?
It really is.
That’s a sad sad thing to say.
This, I gotta see!
I just followed him on the Twit - I think he’s referring to he initially took a pic of a selfie station from about 20 feet away rather than standing at the selfie station.
He’s quite funny - says he’s been talking a lot to a longhorn steer, who is a good listener.
My son has a full beard and very long hair. For Halloween he shaved off the beard and turned it into a long fu-man chu and dressed up as a redneck. (It didn’t take much!)
A week later he still had it. “Yeah - I kinda’ like it! I think I’ll keep it like this.” I can’t recall if I said anything or not - probably not. He’s 25 and a great kid, his preference of facial hair is not on my list of things to worry about.
He ended up growing his beard out again though - so that was was good!
