FBI Director Jim Comey (W&M Class of '82) issued a statement this morning about the Bureau's thorough investigation of Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's actions as Secretary of State. As nearly every sentient American knows, the former Secretary of State allegedly mishandled classified email messages, using a personal server to route certain personal messages.
Director Comey minced no words in his characterization of Mrs. Clinton's carelessness, but he stopped short of labeling her actions criminal. He, in fact, said that no reasonable prosecutor would move forward with charges. All of which served as red meat to the respective partisans of the two major parties. Today's gonna be neat on the internet.
But perhaps lost in all the political kerfuffle was Comey's assertion that Clinton's email signature included a Jimmy Buffett quote. At least one of you is (or was) a fervent Buffett fan with an encyclopedic recall of the legendary performer's lyrics. And so we offer it up to you, G:TB fam: what was Secretary Clinton's email signature?
We're betting it wasn't this.

I don't know where I'm a-gonna go when the volcano blows?
Kind of long for a signature line.
But at night I'd have these wonderful dreams
Some kind of sensuous treat.
Not zucchini, fettuccini, or bulgur wheat,
But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat.
could be a snippet from 'frank and lola':
"tryin' to find a little privacy"
I wish I had a pencil thin mustache.
I like mine with mayo, Bill likes his with a blue dress?
On vacation with the family and Trombone Shorty is playing the Box, the Chicken Box for those non Nantucketer's. Wifer doesn't want to go. Said to would be too late and babysitter would cost a fortune. 10:30 start, $85 tickets. So she said i should go alone. Admiral Akbar, fitting pun in play, is it a trap?
for a music geek like you, i'd say it's a must do. damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead. use the force, squeak.
I just bought (and started reading) the oral history biography of Warten Zevon called "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead." It is a fun read about an underappreciated artist.
Not sure why I felt the need to share that now. Maybe it's the lyrics thing.
I am also grilling skirt steak that has been marinating for over 24 hours, while sipping a choice California Cab. There are some
advantages to being unemployed.
wait, were we made aware of your employment status prior to this? i forget all kinds of shit, but i feel like i'd remember that.
just watched marcus get up three shots in a minute, making two, against the jazz. gotta get yours in summer league.
If TR did, I missed it too.
Long story, but the inevitable demise of my company was very obvious for the last few months. Zman caught an earful on the way to a concert six weeks ago. I started efforting up a new gig and now appear to be on track to start a new job w/ an international bank on 7/25, assuming all the background stuff goes smoothly. Hopefully I'll get my ugly mug on the telly again before y/e.
I debated a post about it, but many colleagues are still out of luck, and I felt it would be bad karma to be braggy. So in the meantime, I'm Mr. Mom. The kids are reserved in camps and one has soccer on weekends, so an impromptu vacation is unfortunately not in the cards. But I'm using the shit out of my grill, pumping iron w/ the MILFs in the morning, and tending to a lawn that looks fanfuckingtastic. So life is good, at least until I enter the bummingdome in three weeks.
Congrats. Your couldn't hold out for one more week of the Lester Burham lifestyle?
Rhymin and Stealin on Backspin. Yessassss
I was unemployed fairly recently and changed my workout routine to the morning during that time (philosophy was to get some exercise in to feel good about myself for the rest of the day that was spent internet searching and catching up on cinema). The morning workout crew, at least where I am, is completely different from people working out at any other time of the day. The morning has a lot of 45-50 year olds pretending they are still 20. Lot's of huffing and puffing, woos, flexing, high fiving, over laughing and way too much male spandex. Yoga pants are not for men.
Hillary's Buffett signature was:
"The weather is here, wish you were beautiful"
Or it should've been.
My morning yoga class was stacked in a pleasant way. If I hit the local gym at the wrong time, I run into hordes of annoying high school a and college kids.
Another upside to unemployment is guiltless 1230 PM Grapefruit Sculoins at the pool club. I see your kids, Zman. They're having fun.
I switched to the morning workout some years ago. One of the best things I've ever done. Getting up extra early is great but I'm more awake and engaged at work and just generally feel better throughout the day. Lots of old flabby skin around though.
TR's beverage typo made me grin
Pitchfork crucified the new Avetts record. And they were pretty much right. Somewhere Rootsy says, "I told you so." Now maybe they can resurrect as their old selves.
What's the criticism - that they're trying too hard to be Mumford or Kings of Leon, instead of just being a good folk group?
If it were up to me, I'd just pitchfork the Avett record. It seems like to much trouble to crucify it.
I guess it's your cross to bear.
Jesus, ZMan. That's terrible.
If you have not seen the remade Vacation with Ed Helms and Christina Applegate I say it is worth watching. My expectations were at floor level but is actually pretty good with more than a few out loud laugh producing scenes. Thank you.
tr, i assume your temporary status as a man of leisure means we'll see some posts from you. postcount!
Danimal, duly noted. I now know not to trust your movie recs.
Kidding, but I thought it was terrible and unnecessary. Not that there weren't a couple of chuckles but most of the movie replaced classic comedy with seeing how vulgar it could get. Sometimes it worked. The other 89% of the time it was filthy and dumb.
On the movie review front, inside SNL sources confirm Ghostbusters is as awful as the ads suggest, if not worse. Script rewrites and a rushed production to fit in performers' limited availability were cited.
TR is Aidy Bryant's side piece.
dwyane wade to chicago. whatever.
Walked to the concert venue, I use that term loosely, about a mile from my rental and on said walk one pair of beat up ray ban sunglasses hurled at me on my way. Hope to see those guys or their car in the parking lot later. At least that's my 20 something dumbass taking. License plate is an easy one to remember.
Rob and my namesake on the stage in 30. Humble-brag nice to see them in a 300 seat place.
Hope you all are ready for a night of rambling. But didn't realize glitter sunscreen was a thing. If not available near you now, just wait for next summer.
Overheard at the bar, I've kissed one guy already today but he had a small boat but the night is young. Friend, how small? The girl, 50'. Guess my canoe is not going to cut it.
TR--glad you're getting some down time and looking forward to seeing you on the teevee soon.
And, Hassan Whiteside is today's Twitter winner.
Some of you may thing it was Hill with that Frozen zinger.
Nope--it's Whiteside.
Oh, also---NBA fans should DVR Live with Kelly
D Wade is the co-host.
I watch it live every day b/c 1) I work from home and 2) that show is pure TV gold
Can't wait to see "host chat" tomorrow.
And back. Probably should post some video later. Great set. Unusual set, free flowing in and out of covers and a little album stuff.
