Overheard at Booth 4: Meetings

Man I hate meetings.  I hate them so much!  They just drive me frikkin' inSANE!  Nothing but talk-talk-talk and blah-blah-blah and everyone in there trying to show off for the big guys because one they they hope to BE big guys.

I tellya, the only thing worse than having to go to all these meetings is the day when suddenly they no longer make you go to all these meetings.  That ever happens, I know I just better pack my shit and go, 'cuz they're already sending me out the door!

Overheard at Booth 3: Perspective

"You know, I just think it's damn sad that this year is the year of Transgender Rights, when there are only about 70,000 transgender people in the US and about a hundred seventy MILLION  women.  Also about 4 BILLION women worldwide, and over 3/4s of ALL of them don't have equal pay, equal rights, or even basic protection over their own bodies.  I mean, let's put it into perspective, people!"

Overheard at Table 2: Ted Cruz Declares WAR on the "Liberal" Media

This is an email that I got from some mewing whiner who spews nothing but nonsensical filth who has the audacity to imagine that he has the qualifications to be President of the United States of America.








BREAKING: Hannity on CNBC Debate: "This Is Going to Go Down in History as REALLY BAD NIGHT for the Media"

Friend, I am declaring war on the liberal media, and I need to ask a personal favor from you. Will you chip in $35 or $50 to my Post-Debate $1 Million Dollar Money Bomb to show the media we're dead serious? Here are the a few of the 'choice' questions they asked last night -- they illustrate why the American people don't trust the media and why we have to take back the debate if we want to win: 'Are you a comic-book villain?' 'Can you do math?' 'Will you insult two people over here?' 'Why don't you resign?' 'Why have your numbers fallen?' Friend, join me in declaring war on the liberal media agenda and taking back our country to deal with the substantive issues the people care about. The contrast is huge. In the Democratic debate, every fawning question from the media was, 'Which of you is more handsome and why?' Let me be clear. We shouldn't be trying to get people to tear into each other. We should be getting to the heart of the issues. Please, can I count on you to chip in using one of the buttons below to make sure I meet my $1 Million Dollar Money Bomb goal? I know it's ambitious, but these next 24 hours are critical.   CHIP IN $35 MONEY BOMB >>     CHIP IN $50 MONEY BOMB >>     CHIP IN $150 MONEY BOMB >>     OTHER AMOUNT MONEY BOMB >>   On stage last night, it was clear -- we need a conservative leader who will both stand up to the liberal media AND fight the Washington Cartel. Are you with me?  Heidi and I thank you for your support. For liberty,

Overheard at Table 2: Cambio de Ruta (2014)

Cambio de Ruta

It was a really sweet movie.  Love the location.

The wife and I were completely stoked that we finally saw a movie where we knew where the location was.

 I mean, we had just spent a week at the Riviera Maya a few months ago.  And we knew the lighthouse, we knew Tulum, we knew that hotel, we knew most of those sites.

It was so beautiful.  Everything was great,

In the movie, also, I loved how they made the Spaniards the ones who wanted to destroy the natural beauty of the Yucatan.   Sort of like how they did it 500 years ago right?

Could've done without her sleeping with the guy on the first night.  I mean, I thought the character had integrity, but one drink at a stand-up comedy club and they're deep-dishin' it on the beach.  I mean, really?

Just then, my teenage son asks, "So next year can I go to the Riviera Maya?"

Overheard at Booth 3: Death Came a-Knockin’

“Most people still have this image of Death as being this big spectre with the skull head and the black robe, at least in kind of a metaphorical sense, anyways, they think Death is just gonna jump out from around the corner one day with a big ol’

“GOTCHA! . . . but me,

“I don’t think Death is like that at all.  I think Death is more like something that reminds of your third grade teacher, who calls you over to sit beside her on a park bench, and she says, ‘Hate to break this to you, sweetheart, but you’re gonna need to clear your calendar for, well . . . forever!’”

Overheard at Table 3: #Sanctuarycities driving people to think abt murder

"yesterday on the radio talk show - on that supposedly Christian AM channel but which's really a front for conservative talk - there was a caller talking about these so-called 'sanctuary cities' where they don't enforce the Federal immigration laws, and this guy suddenly launched into how he could understand if the dad of that woman who was killed in SanFran would be so pissed off that he would want to kill the councilman who voted to make it a sanctuary city!

"and yeah, even though the talk show host is, like, super-conservative, even he had to jump in and say, 'listen, sanctuary cities disgust me, too, but you can't be talking about supporting murder and vengeance like that' and he dropped the call and went on to a different topic,

"but here I am thinking, this is what we've come to.  This one talk show host might have dropped thiis call, but damn all this stuff going around does nothing but drive people insane, makes 'em mad enough to actually think about this kind of retribution.

"I gotta say that I'm really scared about where this all is leading to."

Overheard at Booth 1: Survivor, a 2015 Movie

Niall Carter: all I gotta say about this one is that this has got to be the umpteenth movie that I've seen where the "deadliest" assassin in the world, blows apart an apartment door with a bomb, and then comes in with a silencer on his gun.  I mean, seriously?  Why bother with the silencer when you've just blown open a door.  In an apartment building.  In MANHATTAN!

Now listen, I may not know any assassins personally (although I've got my suspicions about my pal Johnny over there) but I do know that they get paid for getting the job done without anyone knowing about it.   This trope in the movies just bugs me.

The only bright side about this flick was Milla Jovovich's eyes.  Man, those eyes kill me every time!
