“Know that thing where you’re standing on a railroad track and there’s a light off in the distance, and you watch as it gets closer and closer and closer, and before you know it you can hear a horn, and you think you can see the outlines of the train coming, closer, closer, and you want to move, but you can’t, and you think maybe this is a dream, but it isn’t, and when the train finally gets there it turns out it’s not a train at all, but rather a great big shark blowing a great big horn and it has arrived to eat you?“
You might want to cut back on the mescaline a tad there, Evan…
On second thought, never mind. Don’t change a thing!
For me it is more Senhor Oliveira da Figueira, the amazing Portuguese travelling salesman from Tintin's "Les Cigares du Pharaon" (also, "Tintin au Pays de l'Or Noir" and "Coke en Stock").
It reminds me of when I was in the Army in Germany in the early 80s. There had been an upsurge of terrorism in connection with the Beirut Marine barracks bombing and they parked dumptrucks full of sand and eventually concrete barriers in front of our kaserne.
Ah yes, "Why do bad things happen to bad people?" One of the great unsolved mysteries of the universe, at least if one is a MAGA-type pondering the legal fate of one's Fearless Leader.
I hate how I fall for this every time & naively think that "this time, that bag of excrement will get what is coming to him!". Why can he not just go away? The country needs to invest in oubliettes for those who have overstayed their time in the spotlight.
I just went to CNN.com to check on headlines and there was a story about a woman who was found three separate suitcases in and near the Intracoastal Waterway near Delray Beach earlier this month. Somehow I missed that story.

"Now, Mr Bennie?"
For me it is more Senhor Oliveira da Figueira, the amazing Portuguese travelling salesman from Tintin's "Les Cigares du Pharaon" (also, "Tintin au Pays de l'Or Noir" and "Coke en Stock").
So am I the only one here who when I hear the name of Carlos De Oliveira is reminded of famous Irish statesman Éamon de Valera.
Anybody alse?
I think of a guy I knew in the Army who had a similarly baroque name.
I KNEW that was going dingdingding in my head for some reason.
Ta, Evan. More Nice Times!

It's a horse race, I tells ya.
But I’m already sitting down. How am I supposed to raise my Negroni to my lips if I’m holding my butts?
You could get one of those drink hats that sends your beverage directly to your mouth via straws. Hands are then free for butt-holding.
Excellent idea. Although sucking the orange slice through the straw at the end may prove challenging.
It's really unfortunate that barricades need to be put up in front of the courthouse. This is the legacy of J6.

So, still about terrorism.
I don’t think the meeting went as well as Trump thought.
"He keeps using that word..."
I think you're right. The guy is pretty delusional. I think he learned that from Norman Vincent Peale.
Do you hear that whistle down the line?
I figure that it's the engine number forty nine
She's the one you hear when you disembark
From the Atchison, Topeka, and Great White Shark!

Coming soon to a cable station near you... ''Sharktraino!''

Clarification please: When we hold on to our butts, do we spread them? Or squeeze them closed?
This is an important moment in history. I want to make sure I'm doing everything correctly.
You spread them if you are in custody.
NO!

Yeah, but in Danbury all the people who count in his world can constantly snub him... oh, yeah, they do that now. OK High Country Colorado it is.
Donald told us he is getting indicted so we, the fine people of the USA, don't get indicted. What a kind soul he is...sunshine, cupcakes, and ponies.
