Hallowe'en eve

b1-66er: "This idea of purity and you're never compromised and you're always politically 'woke' and all that stuff. You should get over that quickly. The world is messy, there are ambiguities. People who do really good stuff have flaws. People who you are fighting may love their kids. And share certain things with you."
--Barack Obama
Coors
(Officially known as the Molson Coors Brewing Company)
Has changed its name to the Molson Coors Beverage Company.

Special K: There goes my childhood.

b1: What's YOUR problem, Jack?
There goes my NEIGHBORHOOD...
...just ride down 32nd on your bike and you go through the Coors tunnel.

K: No. I think I'll have PB&J or maybe a big salad.

b1: That makes me feel bad for you.
Do you have to mention any catch phrase to get the TB taco?

K: "Yo, bro. Lay that stolen base taco upon me at this time, jack!"

b1: But if you say THAT, won't they hit you with the Jack in the Box baton?

K: They might call police.

b1: If they call police, you'll get shot...
Vegas cops just shoot you...
...i have no problem with that...as long as *i* am not the one getting shot.

K: The Hellvetica thing is weird. I expected something spooky or creepy.
 

b1: You don't get it...
It's Helvetica...
...BUT IT'S NOT!...
...Spooky!

K: Whee. 

b1: You're getting it.  Not every TXT from me is as big as a free taco...
...we both only wish it was.

K: This is a disappointment in my life. 

b1: I wish i could make it better.
My only defense is i do what i can.

K: It's all any of us can do. 

b1: Who writes that impeachment doc?  I don't even know.

K: House staff, I assume. That's the House bill. 

b1: It just feels like the worst job you could ever have.  
Like being center on a football team.
EVERYONE talks about what a spudnut you are when you get it...
...wrong.
NO ONE notices when you get it right.

K: They do it so they can move on later. 

b1: No.
That's why we live.

K: They become good public servant or evil shitheads.

b1: Apparently B.O.'s comments didn't sink into you today.

K: I'm Molly Brown. 

b1: You're unsinkable and live in a castle?

K: Hell(vetica) yes. 

b1: Jesus.
I think all this political stuff has short wired you.

K: I'm so good. 

b1: THE thing the Trump presidency has done is absolutely whack out 95% of my friends.

K: Hmm. 

b1: That's the way he affects me the most.  By far.

K: Maybe they know something you're missing. 

b1: Laws? Same.
National Conservation Area?  Same.
Cleveland Clinic?  Same. 
Insurance?  Same.
Taxes?  Same.
Friends?  Whack-a-doodle.

K: Fat Chad sitting with a thud. 

b1: I don't even know what means, but it makes me LOL.

K: Me too. It's a quote from the next room, where Momma K is tutoring reading. 

b1: Are YOU Fat Chad?  Is that a voting machine thing?  New comic Super Villain?

K: I identify with Fat Chad. 

b1: I just did a searchon that phrase...
...and found a book!...

K: That's the one!

b1: ...Written by...
...David HAndler.
{ed: not mutual acquaintance, David Hendler

K: Now that's spooky!

b1: Hellyatica.

K: Yes!

b1: You should make Hellyatica.
Every number is a beer.

The higher ups

Special K: My new manager works in Boulder. He has a master's degree in biblical exegisis.

b1-66er: Good or bad one?

K: I haven't met him yet, but I'm not sanguine.
From this school: https://www.wheaton.edu/

b1: (They're a big deal.  Not pursuing is surprising.)

K: Pursuing what?

b1: Theology.

K: Oh God.

b1: Precisely.
Careful when you talk to him about the bible...he'll know more than you will.

K: If I'm talking to him about the Bible, something has gone wrong.
Anyway, I don't expect to report to him for long. I think our group
 will crumble entirely by end of year or so.
What does a devout Christian think of Jews, anyway? How can they not think less of us?

b1: Depends on the Xian.
Something between "old stock" and "not yet learned."

K: I'll be sure to confess my Judaism to my new boss at first meeting.

b1: You won't have to.
He'll either already know or won't care.  (Only Semites and anti-Semites care who the Jews are.)

K: What if I greet him with "L'chaim?"

b1: Tell me.

K: I'll say 'L'chaim, Reverend!"

b1: That plays.

K: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Wick-K-pedia

b1-66er: What will you miss most about living?

Special K: That depends. What is death like?

b1: It's like a match being blown out.

K: I'll miss the candle.

I see red

Special K: This is on the whiteboard of the conference room I'm in.  {Sunnyvale, CA; USA}

Dis-robe

The accomplice: Just woke up from a nightmare where you were kidnapped after meeting someone at a coffeeshop--in your bathrobe! And I waited to call 911 because I thought you'd come back. And I was sexually assaulted (not raped, but close) while I was looking for you in the streets. I woke up because I couldn't understand the woman when I finally was able to call 911. Why did you go to that sinister meeting IN YOUR BATHROBE!?!?

b1-66er: It was easier than finding my other pair of clean pants.

Ta: Okay! I understand that.

Flying the pocket rockets

b1-66er (flying LAS -> PHX): I haven't flown AA in YEARS.

b1-67er (flying SJC -> PHX): I think they went bust and were reconstituted.

66: The passengers look/act like the misbegotten.
I fit right in.
BIG argument from a woman who has 5 bags.
"I WILL NOT CHECK ONE!  EVEN FOR FREE!  THERE ARE THINGS IN HERE THAT CAN BREAK!"

67: Here they look normal but a little old. Definitely not the Allegiant mad dog 20/20 crowd.

66: I like that term.
AMD-20.
How many boarding zones ARE there?
  I'm in 9.

67: I'm in 9. They just announced that if you don't have a boarding group, board with 7.  So we are on Team Behind Team Last Place.

66: I shouldn't chortle snort laugh before i board a plane.

67: The airlines are playing a new discount ticket game: we will sell you a cheap ticket but then subject you to psychological warfare.
I bet their lawyers are looking at waterboarding.
