Things I want:
1) For my Dad to stop driving,
2) For HR to get off their asses and give me my job.
3) For My Nemesis to get hit by a bus retire.
I don't think that's too much to ask for, is it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Consuela, 1 and 3 in the same list are bad ju ju. Just sayin'...
American recently let me check a bag for free
It depends on the price of your ticket. The ticket I bought going to Jamaica included free checking of my bag, the one coming back to LA didn't. And no, I saw nowhere in the legibly sized print of kayak.com or wherever I bought it that told me this. In fact, I'd been assuming that international got you bags. Ah, no.

I can't believe people are STILL replying to that test message! OMG.
American recently let me check a bag for free
I'm flying to Denver next week to ski for four days, and Southwest will count a ski bag and a boot bag together as one bag, which is awesome. So I don't have to pay extra to fly my gear.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The state Chicago's in is Gary?
Reminds me of the Pootie Tang movie, in which it is revealed that Pootie grew up in suburb of Gary called Chicago.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I think Chicago is its own state -- aren't the all-caps names the state names?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Hivemind, help me with a research project. Can you think of any impromptu speeches (i.e. not written in advance), or any speeches that could inspire empathy? Has to be post-1950 (i.e. has a chance of being found in a broadcast news archive) and nothing from MLK since we've already pulled all of his that we can use.
We have a decent list already, but I'm hoping the brilliant Buffistas can add to it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
or any speeches that could inspire empathy?
