Someone earlier on that twitter thingamabob on the intertubes informed me that the Dane County Democrats were having some sort of shindig at a local hotel, so I swung by to see what was going on, and found some motivated young Democrats:
Good for them. Time for dinner and drinks.

Have a drink on me. Send me the bill.

You should have stayed with them and gotten proper flip-flop advice.

I had a young woman come by who was going door to door for Bernie Sanders. We had a nice little natter and agreed with each other on every topic. I warned her about the Hulk next door who wants to vote for Trump, you never know when he’s going to turn up green and scare the crap out of you.
cathyx
Maybe there are some eligible young women in that line. You already know you have something in common with them. Maybe one of them is hungry.
ETA: I mean hungry for food since you’re going to dinner.

They sure look all smiley and happy. Did you tell them who you were?
buckyblue
Ok, be right there.

John dude, time to try your pick-up lines ;)
PurpleGirl
@Violet: Did you tell them you were going to post their picture on your blog?
(nice picture, also, too)
The prophet Nostradumbass
@Violet: If he’d done that, they wouldn’t be smiling.

@PurpleGirl:
They look ready for prime time.
Catsy
Huh, the blonde girl on the far left looks a lot like my little sister–at least at that resolution. Couldn’t be though.

All I know is those people weren’t there when I drove by after work.
Poopyman
What’s that wet stuff in the street?
Omnes Omnibus
@Poopyman: Beer.

I hope this is an open thread, but if it’s not, too bad.
I bought a bottle of wine at a discount grocery store today. This store sells near expiration date stuff and other odds and ends. I stopped buying wine there because it has always been pretty bad and that’s why the price is cheap. But on a whim, I bought a cab that was $3.99/bottle. I knew I needed to open it today because if it’s good, I would need to go back immediately and get more because it would be gone if I waited. And as luck would have it, it’s surprisingly good. I will buy a case tomorrow.

@Omnes Omnibus: THE STREETS ARE PAVED WITH BEER?!?!?!?
Nirvana! No wonder Cole went there. Will he ever leave?
cathyx
@Narcissus: Do you want to see my blog?
the Conster
A quick glance at the pic and thought the signs all said More Popcorn. You’ve definitely found the right place!
Maude
@cathyx:
It’s always nice to get a good deal. The FSM does care.

@Maude: My saying is that there is joy in thrift, but not in cheapness.
Poopyman
@Omnes Omnibus: Would that also be known as Barroom Juice?

I just saw Willard’s ‘welfare’ ad during the Olympic coverage.
One of only two citations in the commercial is the Heritage Foundation.
Willard really is a scumbag. That commercial doesn’t even attempt to represent reality. It’s just a chance to say black people are getting white peoples’ money over and over.
Omnes Omnibus
@Poopyman: I don’t know; that has some unpleasant connotations.
Maude
The best pick up line? I clean, cook and take out the garbage.
@muddy:
Cheap is stupid.
cathyx
@Narcissus: Do you want to see a picture of a really fat white cat named after a Pittsburgh Steeler? It’s on my phone I left in my hotel room.

Litlebritdifrnt lost her pup Cueball today.

I think I may have found Mitt Romney’s theme song!

@Maude: And here’s a guy who has a long archive proving it, to boot.
Ya got it, ya might as well flaunt it.
cathyx
@Narcissus: And don’t forget the best pickup line of all. Do you want to see a picture of my godson named after me?
muddy
@Maude: And generally ugly as well.
Linda Featheringill
My sympathy to littlebitdifferent on the loss of Cueball.
Narcissus
@cathyx: I can see situations where that might actually work.

Just remember, you haven’t partied in Madison until you’ve thrown up on the curb.
(edit: I should add that you haven’t partied in downtown Minneapolis until you’ve been tazered in front of the bar at closing time)
Ash Can
@raven: Oh no. I’m so sorry to hear that. My deepest condolences to Littlbritdifferent and her family.
LagerLagerLager
If it’s beer you’re looking for, make sure to stay in Madison until Friday and hit up the Great Taste pre-parties. As many as possible.

That night the streets really are flowing with beer.

Lucky devil, I see you had some rain.
