Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ferris had a good chunk of the middle of the film in downtown Chicago.

I hated Ferris when it came out. But maybe I should watch it again to see how much of Chicago I recognize.

Seeing The Blues Brothers again after I'd lived in Chicago for a while was fun.

That's right unlike you commie left coasters and north easterners, I live in a wonderful little pocket of the real America, a pro-America area of this great nation where people are hard working and patriotic.

And I live in a wonderful little pocket of left coatsters and northeasterners and actual homegrown commies in the middle of hardworking, patriotic north Georgia. As the local bumper sticker says, Obamamatic for the people!

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I think my favorite Chicago movie was Adventures in Babysitting . Although I do have an inexplicable and unholy love for that film.

New York- West Side Story ! Also, Big.

San Francisco- My Sister Sam and Mrs. Doubtfire.

Obamamatic for the people

This is making me laugh so hard!

Upstate NY (the counties) seems to be a pocket of Right Wing in a Left Wing state, which is rather annoying. The cities are still Democrat in name. Also, something like 2/3 of our city officials are Republicans who changed to Democrats because the city won't elect a repub, and the county won't elect a Dem. It is pretty weird.

I'm glad, lisah. Another vet med is Fosters and Smith. (From what I remember, you had an unusual insulin.)

What was the movie (late '70s - early '80s?) about the family where one kid had died in a boating accident and the other kid was in therapy and the parents ended up separating because the mom resented the surviving kid because she had loved the other kid more? That was also a North Shore movie....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I bet if I lived in the real America, I could have biked to work in 40 minutes this morning...stupid liberal elite construction workers blocking my way on AND OFF the Manhattan Bridge!

Obviously we should have named it the Real America Bridge To Freedom And Pie. Then it wouldn't need so much maintenance work.

Obamamatic for the people!

That's great! Can I tag?

Like flea, I live in a very blue pocket of a red state. An occasional pollster suggests that Obama might have a chance to win Georgia, but it seems very unlikely. Both candidates' organizations have decided that Georgia isn't American enough to court.

The senatorial race is possible, though. My plan was to vote early, but early voting is swamped. If I'm going to stand in a line, I'd rather stand in a line on Nov. 4.

(From what I remember, you had an unusual insulin.)

Oh, yes, the more expensive one I was looking at was actually the PZI Vet (which he used to be on) and that site was marketing his kind for dogs. He's on pork insulin which is about $30 a bottle. mmm bacony!

Sure, Ginger. I may even be able to scare you up an actual bumper sticker if you want.
