Aykroyd's Nothing But Trouble is a cinematic masterpiece, and even though I have evidence of having seen it multiple times, I refuse to believe the movie actually exists in this physical universe.

Blues Brothers is a perfect movie because a lot of the stuff Akroyd wanted to put in there, like the car getting its magic car powers from being kept in an overloaded electrical substation, got cut the hell out.

Also because of of Cab Calloway.

He's already torpedoed his own defense of the travel ban by throwing a tantrum about it on Twitter. For all we know he'll openly admit to bribery and assassination plots via social media before all this is done.

There are basically two things that ESAs get that normal pets don't: legally permitted to own even if the property owner forbids pets, and allowed to go on airplanes. That's pretty much it. Plenty of assholes try to claim their emotional support animal can go anywhere, however, and it basically preys on business owners' and retail workers' ignorance of the law. Predictable result: people with actual service animals get refused service.

The only animals that are legally required to be admitted (until they cause problems, that is) are service animals, and you're legally permitted to ask only two questions ("Is this animal a service animal?" and "What service does this animal perform?").

I was under the impression that ESA's have to be registered or certified in some way and that it was appropriate to ask to see their certificate. Is this not true? Also it seems to me that the second question is getting very close to violating someone's privacy regarding their health if you are asking them to explain what they need the animal for.

I used to work next door to a kitchen-gadget shop where they always had samples of food and my friend that worked there loved nothing more than kicking out all the lovely people with their froo froo dogs because they weren't allowed to be near the food.

There's no central certifying body for ESA - it's a vague field without a lot of defining rules. Technically, all you need is a note from a medical professional stating that this animal contributes to your emotional well-being in some way, but there exists a lot of scam "certifying bodies" that will do a fancy certificate for you despite it not meaning a thing.

Legally, they're distinct from service animals due to having no real certifications, but it's confusing enough to people who aren't used to the varying grades of things (CGC certification vs Therapy Animal Certification vs Service Animal certs for dogs, t. ex.) that anything that sounds vaguely official gets lumped into the list.

My wife is a dog trainer, and she's got some real mixed feelings on this whole issue, in part because she's used the loopholes to help people who couldn't otherwise afford a service animal and part because she's seen so many people using it so they can bring badly-trained animals places they aren't supposed to go. It's a weird issue.

It's not bad, but it's super expensive. Just drink Tito's or (if you can find it) Wheatley's.

I have a bottle autographed by the man himself from when he went on tour with it when it was launched. I haven't opened it. It was like $50 a bottle back then. I saw it in a gift pack with skull shot glasses in Costco last week for $30.


Wheatley's is great, I sampled it at the Buffalo Trace Distillery while taking the tour in 2015 and bought a bottle. I saw it for sale at BevMo recently.

The game is set in an urban warzone in an unnamed Middle Eastern country, where 50 Cent and G-Unit have been hired to play a rap concert. After the concert the promoter, Anwar, is unable to pay them the $10 million in cash he promised, but relents after being threatened. However, instead of the cash they were promised, he gives them a diamond-and-pearl encrusted human skull as collateral. This is promptly stolen by a paramilitary group led by the terrorist Kamal. 50 Cent (with the help of a selected G-Unit partner) decides to get it back at any cost.

Random Philly idiot gets booted out of a comedy club for being disruptive, and then goes on a 5-minute rant against the cops, where she pulls out such favorites as "Lick my rear end," "you're a bunch of cocksuckers," "you're arresting a *girl*", "No wonder society hates you," and follows it up with "I work for a local news station!"

Not anymore she doesn't. But her apology does include the ever popular "That’s not me or how I talk or act or anything at all." She also initially claims to only have had one drink, and insinuates that someone roofied her, but she later clarifies that to be "Some drinks at the bar I was bartending at, then some shots and a margarita, plus whatever drinks I had at the comedy club."

It seems like in their drunken stupor they think that working at a local radio/tv station is some sort of a threat, like "hey I can talk about this on the air and expose you" kinda thing. Of course it ALWAYS works precisely the opposite way, people with a tiny bit of local fame really can't be having public freakouts without risking their entire career. You can work at the local station for 30 years or you could maybe get fired and never work in the business again, for a lot of local media personalities there turns out to be no in between.

Exactly. They would wait until you gave them a bad review on Yelp or slagged them on social media first.

Then they would remotely guide you into a wall.
