We workshopped this when I lived there and voted for, "You Guys in the circle thing there!" But they got all fancy and went with Ro-TAHN-da, as you say. I don't know if it's computer generated, but most airports must use one of a handful of generic (but commanding while pleasant) voice over their PA's. But last time I arrived at JFK, holy shit. You can literally hear the woman smacking gum while she lectures you with her fucking Long Island accent from a bad sitcom.

Client, "Counselor Callahan, can you guarantee you will have my case dismissed?" Tommy, "Look, if you want me to shit in a Pringles can and mark it 'guaranteed', I can. I've got spare time."

“All the time”, singular? They’re not gonna do it twice a day 5 days in a row. If he was sitting POTUs; then yes. But I’m sure he left behind some FAA loyalists after losing

Is looking like a discolored thumb, a new trend for men that I'm missing out on this year?

To be fair, their slogan is "Once you Poop, you can't stop." (checks court briefs" "Sorry, your honor. It's Once you Pop, you can't stop."

When my father, as an avid a baseball/Cubs fan as you'd ever know...would put into port in San Francisco on USN shore leave in the early-mid 1960's...him and his crew had two goals. First-score some chicks. Second-score some Giants tickets to see the great Willie Mays. I was born too late to ever see him play. But in my house after the Cubs, Willie Mays was Baseball Royalty. And now, Willie Mays-you are Baseball Immortality. May the four winds blow you safely home.

My friend Quinn says it's mighty bizarre, actually. And Joe Cocker says "hold my beer"

Particularly since it was pre-meditated, not just not some spur of the moment records release made out of frustration or exhaustion. Plus it appears personally and politically motivated. And quite possibly have come with enticements made by others to 'reward' the doctor for being the 'first through the wall' with such actions to set precedence in alignment with certain powerful people's goals and ambitions.

I dunno, they kinda look like they're starting to cook. I can't see color for shit on monitors anymore. Now that you mention it though, he's got the burger burner on the same setting as the hot dogs which are coming along very nicely, but obviously don't need as long/as high a heat. So yeah, I think he's mis-timing it and they are more rare than I thought. Still the cheese will cook to a safe heat, but yeah-by the time he flips or pulls the burgers, the cheese will basically just have all run down into the burners. I think he was just going for a cool photo-op and fucked it up. I'm sure there's a handful of member of Congress that can grill properly, but the next one I meet will be the first. I don't like wooden cutting boards for meats. I know it looks more authentic, but shit seeps into those grooves and on a hot day, I don't want to put a second wave of burgers/steaks/whatever on the cutting board. I use glass, or if we're on vacation, a disposable BPE-free sheet. But what's baffling to me is Schumer's signature look is those glasses perched down his nose a bit for a condescending speech on TV or photograph. And he lays him on a filthy cutting board to put on to check on his e-coli cheeseburger special? That's disgusting. I'm guilty of not always following proper cooking protocol, but they're your fucking eyeballs man and you're 73. Don't be rubbing raw ground beef juice into 'em. When he does to the Capitol Spa, instead of cucumbers, do they put raw liver over his eyes to soothe him? Sickie. /rant

Thats the problem, motorcade mileage to ORD and from MKE is 30 miles in total, 1/3rd of just driving the whole trip. Shutting down one of America's 3 busiest airports (when you take into account cargo jets) twice a day for to better part of a week during summer travel season. That's next to impossible even for a current President. The nearby Executive Airport north of downtown cannot accommodate a 757 on its runway system. The outlier airports like Rockford or South Bend likely could, but they're almost as far as Milwaukee by motorcade. There are no military airstrips anywhere nearby that would cut commute times and prevent commercial disruption. And even if there are, would they even permit his private plane to use their airfield? I suppose he could fly into O'hare and then downsize to some local friend's private plane but Secret Service would have their hands full trying to make that work because of safety issues, taxiing, and still ground transport at a smaller FBO where security is much more relaxed. There is no recent precedent for this detail to work from. An incumbent gets to use military and/or commercial runways on full lockdown. He can't do that. A challenger to a sitting President usually has a private full-sized aircraft and local police escorts. But for 200 miles round-trip for several days in a row between two major urban MSA's. That's never been done before in their history. There are more variables than we can possibly fathom. They can certainly fly into MKE in his 757 and just move him securely to a Milwaukee hotel once and back. But to shut down O'Hare twice a day for an hour during the business week/summer break for 4-6 days? They wouldn't do that for 1980's Reagan, and he was from Illinois. Great Lakes Naval Air Station and Miegs Field could have accommodated him, but both have been closed for 20 years. it's the historically ironic path of the Stevenson/Kennedy to I-94 path or nothing. Surface roads pose an ever greater risk to the motorcade (nevermind that guy can't sit in a car for 3 hours without shitting himself). The logistics and exposure are going to be a massive challenge the SS is not used to, particularly twice a day for 4-6 days. A helicopter is out of the question, too much air traffic in that area and none of the available equipment is exactly Marine 1 quality. I suppose they could get a mid-sized jet to fly out Chicago Exec. But you still have to clear MKE twice a day to land/take-off and given his security detail, VIP guests, and senior staffers..........even larger private jets couldn't accommodate that many people. he sure as shit ain't flying commercial. And his namesake livery bird isn't an option. I'm sure SS has a number of ideas on alternatives that don't occur to me, or us. But we all live in the same physical confines of land and air. If it were a single trip, it'd be a breeze. But it could be upwards of 12 one-way trips. That's hard to account for. all for some room service surcharges. Pride cometh before the fall.

"Hey maybe Grandpa put all that super expensive scotch into this here crate that we can open up and toast to his wonderful life." (opens crate) -Cousin, what's inside? What is it? "About a 2 kilos of uncut coke, a few thousand in cash, some flyers for call girls, and a note that says 'The Money's on the dresser, Chocolate'." -How do you know it's 2 kilos? "Look, in the end...grandpa couldn't see so well so I taught him the metric system by feel instead of sight." I either want to go out like this or surrounded by children and grandchildren smiling at me as I drift off to sleep, naturally. Anything else is bullshit.

Johnnie Walker Blue, some Chocolate Chip Mint, maybe toss in a banana. Baby, you got yourself a Sundae /RIPcarlweathers Sad to hear Willie passed, but what a wonderful life he led. Greatest CF our game will ever know. Say Hey, Heaven...

well first you gotta open up the hood. If you want, you can dump the Ford and trade up to the G-Spot. I mean G-Class from Daimler "Nikki" Benz.

I got no answers, just more questions. So similar to most aged languages, chinese/mandarin/et. al have a passive vocabulary of over 350,000 'words.' However with no alphabet, their 'symbols' or 'characters' are limited to only about 50,000 'words', expressed through these written/digital symbols/characters. With active usage being only about 15% of that. So they're not really letters, they're not really syllables, and they're not really complete words in the majority of instances. I get the verbal structure of the language pretty good just because my wife is trained in linguistics and speech (not that I can speak or understand it). But I just to this day have never received a proper explanation of the difference between their written language. Nobody on the planet can draw 350,000 different characters by rote using just a series of 4-14 strokes. So they've narrowed it down to about 50,000 which is still a tall order to maintain a deep fluency. But how? How does it work dammit?!?!

Wait, his security team is a Yaz tribute band is called, "Going Upstairs at Eric Trump's"? But we don't live in a simulation?

You wanna get conspiratorial? I'm obviously insane, but thankfully not Qanon type insane. It's not as common a practice in Texas to refer to interstates by names as opposed to numbers. In Chicago, We would say "The Eisenhower" for I-290, or "The Tri-State" for I-294. Somewhat similar how California calls it "THE 101" or "THE 5" (Stuart!). Well one of the main interstates to get into downtown Chicago, not far from Trump's Hotel is "The Stevenson" or I-55. Named for the former Governor Adlai Stevenson, who would go on to serve as Kennedy's Ambassador to the UN. He was in Dallas the month before and he and his staff treated so horribly, he warned the Kennedy detail not to go to Dallas that fateful week. If you take "The Stevenson/IH-55" into the city, it links up with I-90 where you would exit into the CBD to get to the Trump Hotel of all places. We refer to that I-90 stretch locally as "the Kennedy Expressway." From the Kennedy, if you're headed to Milwaukee---you merge right to I-94 (portions of which are named for Kennedy, Edens, Byrne, and other local figures). From there it's about 70-80 miles to the arena. Not only are there major overpasses and vast swatches of cloverleaf entrances/exits on the way to Milwaukee. There are also a handful of, what we call "Oasis", which are purpose-built overhangs above the surface lanes. They usually contain restaurants, fuel stations, dog walking areas, playscapes, areas for truckers to rest, etc. You can cross over them by automobile, but it's effectively a giant parking lot, they aren't really intended for turnarounds....more for rest and refreshment. Think of a size like a TXDoT rest stop or a Buccee's but built above and across 10 lanes, heated from underneath. Everyone of those from the Stevenson to the Kennedy to 94 to Milwaukee will be to be cleared twice a day for a week. Nobody can penetrate the motorcade from up there, but they all serve delicious fast-food and will serve as Sirens of Temptation to the Donald. Wouldn't be hard to figure out what he's gonna order. And then the toll plazas. Think of the ones like on the new 183 or 130. The ones on I-94 are even bigger and covered to protect booth operators from the winter elements. There's a handful of them from the Kennedy to Milwaukee. It will create a huge bottleneck for the motorcade. Obviously they can glide through for free, but still, you can only push through a handful of vehicles/motorcycles at a time at a very slow speed because while Trump's parade of vehicles is tough as shit, those toll booth barricades have been sustaining collisions from 80,000 pound tractor-trailers and 95,000 tandem tractor-trailers for 75 years. So they have to line up slowly and take their time before they can open the speed back up again. anyway, just some fun facts about the Tri-state area interstate system y'all might now know.

You fucking four-eyed failure.

So where does that place them in the massive brawl hierarchy about to take place in the old industrial park in San Diego? Brick killed James Rosen.....with a trident.

Well you see, at least it's a reverse commute. I doubt he wants to attend anything other than his acceptance speech, but he does have some glad-handing to do with other RNC leadership and donors to keep the grift train running. But yeah, his plane is too big to take off from anywhere but O'Hare and Midway. So it's straight up I-94 to Milwaukee. That's nearly 100 miles, that's a long ass way for a motorcade to block off dozens and dozens of on-ramps, block lanes, periodically halt oncoming traffic in sections where the highway isn't that sufficiently divided (it's a very wide highway with large divides for most of the trip but it gets narrower and not as spaced from about Gurnee to the Kenosha/Racine area). 4 business days, of which, he'll probably travel up there 3 days. Probably midday, but still a shitshow. He won't be coming back until late at night, 11pm or so, which won't present much of an issue heading back into downtown Chicago. But those 3-4 days of him heading up there are cause all kinds of logistical challenges and piss off a lot of potential voters in SE Wisconsin. I mean, if he had Marine 1 or something else, that'd be one thing. But they can't fly a fixed wing plane up there. It's gotta be done with a motorcade which has to stop at the Illinois border and switch over to Wisconsin state troopers alongside his own detail. And then resume the trip. There's gotta be several dozen overpasses of major roads that will also have to be closed and cleared for that 100 mile stretch. And unlike our on/off ramps, many of which are elevated in Texas, in IL/WI---they are cloverleaf style for the most part due to freezing temps. So they are more linear feet (I don't know the calculus of it). So there's gonna be several dozen of those that need to be sealed off but because of their length (~3x the amount of footprint than an elevated ramp), that's more personnel needed to keep not only the ramp blocked but also the circle of land inside of it to the shoulder which will need to be patrolled for anybody hiding in those tall summer grasses. Once he gets past National Avenue/59, kinda where 'downtown Milwaukee' starts, it's business as usual for Secret Service...just another city visit for a President/former President, something they've done in their sleep hundreds of times. But given the layout of I-94, duration of the drive, and volume of cars on a weekday on both sides of the highway...it'll take several hundred troopers from both Illinois and Wisconsin to secure that route at several hours apiece. Never mind what it costs the drivers who are not at work but stuck in traffic and the retail along the way that nobody can access (halfway thru the trip is a Six Flags amusement park and one of the 5 largest malls in the U.S., plus all the other gas stations and restaurants that will be shut off from traffic for what could be hours). Total expenditures and lost revenue of all of the above could total hundreds of thousands per day, millions over the course of the week. So his hotel can make a few bucks on 9 rooms on the Chicago River. Business genius

Has he been smearing his itchy butt along those radiator vents like my dog across our family room carpet?

Fair point, but BCOM and its affiliated hospitals are almost polar opposite of Baylor University. Very pro-science, pro-alternative care, lots of community wellness engagement, flexible payment options, free clinics, research, women's care, etc. Obviously being partners with the Catholic Health System, they're not exactly 'progressive' System, but they're not in the stone age either. Baylor University's pre-med/bio-chem program consists mainly of learning how to intentionally spoil rape kits and that the need for abortion is simply a demonic idea planted into the woman's cerebral cortex due to caffeine and dancing. My rant aside, I'm sure Ken Paxton and Dan Patrick are concocting a "legal" plan to force BCOM to reveal all patient records for the last 10 years for a "professional ethics audit" of the health care providers. About 5 years ago, I went with my wife for our final checkup before delivery of the 2nd munchkin. And her OB/GYN whom I've gotten to know over the years, helluva nice guy. Very conservative, church-goer, rich southern white guy, but we get to talking (we've spoken socially at fundraisers so he opens up to me about shit and vice-versa). And he's telling me he's got his value set and beliefs, but that God gave him a skill set and a bedside manner to make sure everybody regardless of gender has agency over their body and their health choices. (this is me speaking in his voice at the time, so past tense). "I dunno, I've got a bad feeling from some what I'm reading and hearing from colleagues, Texas is gonna start enticing doctors like me to start turning over patient records or compel them in other ways. I thought he was being as paranoid as I was. Turns out he was a half decade ahead of his time. Once again, our prize mistake---a lack of imagination.

I knew a girl from Montreal and another in Lyon who liked to blame a game with me called, "Two Girls, One American Fist." It gets weird at the end. But you learn a good bit of French vocabulary just by their safety words.

I believe you're thinking of our 6th President, Samuel Adams. 50/50 shot one of is right, though there's only a 10% chance of that. I'd really like to see that Wright Brothers Memorial. But that's quite a trek to get out there. Otherwise, I think I'm doing pretty good on that list. My daughter had to do a class project on our National Park System. So she asked me about 'em and I still have the maps to everyone I've ever visited since I was a kid. So we went through them all, it was really cool. It reminded me of that old dig, "Yeah, Europe got the cathedrals and castles, but we got the National Parks." But this goofy facebook post reminds me to make the girls two bucket lists for the U.S before they have their own children. One, a list of natural sites (parks, oceans, etc.) and then another of man-made ones (skyscrapers, museums, etc.). I remember my cousin and two of his buddies rolling through Chicago when I was in junior high. Between college and law school, their goal was to see a game in every major league stadium. They stayed with us briefly and took me to both Wrigley and Comiskey in one day. IIRC, they made about 20 and fell a bit short due to rainouts, etc. But only one 'em was a big baseball fan, but it was their way of an excuse to map out seeing most of the country. But yeah, some of those manmade ones are such letdowns.

Was it the kicks or the thumbs that gave it away? Also, does Taylor Swift lip-synch? I honestly can't tell anymore these days with artists on screens because I just have an inherent delay with screens and sounds due to tinnitus. But we streamed her Eras tour show for my daughter's sleepover birthday party earlier in the Spring. And I only stuck around for the first 30 minutes and let them have their space. But apparently it was like a 2:45mts. show and she belts it out while dancing almost the entire time. I was exhausted just watching her. Reminded me of the long shows Madonna used to do back in the day, but I'm pretty sure she was legit lip-synching. I guess the ticket prices are based on $/hr.?

We now go live to three pro-Biden low-shower pressure NY libtards:
