I'd eat that!

If Hilarious had won, we'd all be waiting for the Government Cheese sooner or later. That's what the Socialists want...

Been there, done that, don't want to do it again. In 1980, I lost my job and unemployment just sucked. The Town got a shipment of cheese U.S. from the government, and I qualified for a brick of it. I think it was 3 pounds, and if you read the box carefully, it was made by Land O' Lakes. The following week I found a new job and that was the end of the free cheese. It wasn't bad, but I hated being in the position I was in.

Was it 5 pounds? I thought it was 3, but 5 makes sense, in retrospect. It wasn't bad, since it was Land O' Lakes (at least the distribution we got was), and it had a softer texture than the run-of-the-mill American cheese we used to get. More like Velveeta, but not quite as soft. Of course we had to slice it (I still have a roller-and-wire slicer in the kitchen drawer) and cutting it was problematic because it was so soft and sticky.

It made great grilled cheese (those were the days of 3/$1 loaves of white sandwich bread, and 69¢ chicken-dogs, too). I cut it into cubes and made a big baked Macaroni and Cheese casserole, and it turned into this uniform cheeeese mass that thoroughly coated the macaroni, inside and out. I think that was its best application, and we ate on that casserole for days.

Wow -- I hadn't thought about that in years -- mixed emotions with the memories. Of course, I'm unemployed again (26 years later). Maybe I'll skulk around the Town Hall and see if they have any cheeeese...

Everybody just really wants to do a full scale live fire Civil War reenactment, we're all just huge fans of that point in history.

Just think of the pageantry?

All I can say is that this beats Governor Schwartzenegger on the Weird-Shit-O-Meter.

Should be an entertaining four years, although the clown acts on the streets are getting a little old...

Don't forget when Minnesota elected Jesse "The Body" Ventura as governor.

True, tho that still falls behind the Governator in my book.

Hillary was just going to build a giant space colony, then give it over to space Russians so they could use it to shoot a giant laser at San Francisco anyway.

A non-option reptilian vs a human hand grenade that could legally be thrown into the middle of the government.

I think she was misquoted. What she really said was "grape."

Our new president is Rodney Dangerfield's character from Caddyshack.

I was hoping his acceptance speech would start with

'Daddy's home, bitches.'

Oh yeah.....

Seriously - I wanted this - and now I'm scared, just a little....

I'll say this much, the day certainly unlocked emotions I genuinely didn't know I had in me.

So there's that.

Like any disaster, you're glad when it's over, but the clean-up will take years...

I'm personally more terrified of Trump's VP. The guy's literally a right-wing extremist conservative plucked straight from the 50's. Which is why I say keep Trump alive at all costs, or else we're stuck with wack-job Pence for the next four years.

He wants to mine asteroids to make Cowboy Bebop real.

God Emperor Trump.

liberals are useless garbage

Strange days, indeed.
