1. That is a sweet story and a sweet thread
I love these 'revelations' that John Kerry is a fairly normal, albeit highly intelligent, human being. I love the threads that acknowledge that someone who has been successful in high level politics can actually be 'good with people.' They make me both want to smack myself on the forehead and smile at the same time.

I love watching his earlier campaigning on cspan's site. You really get to know who he is and not so much security around. :loveya:

14. Have it your way, my dear.
I actually had a discussion with someone over whether or not the Burger King Super Bowl ad with women dressed as tomato slices, pickles and such was offensive to women. She argued that it should be deconstructed as a post-feminist willingness of women to play with the images of their own bodies. The counter-argument, of course, was that it was not a good thing to see women dressed as food and throwing themselves on 'the meat.'

Sigh! The argument goes on. I can see both sides.

15. I guess it depends on who "the meat" is...
*Vektor dons her pickle costume and throws herself on the 100% grade-A prime quality hunk of Sir Loin that is John Kerry*

*Vektor scores a perfect landing*

*Vektor politely refrains from mayonnaise jokes*

16. TayTay politely and primly refrains from
putting on her tomato costume, cuz it makes her look like a beachball. TayTay is greatly amused by the whole idea though. It might have merit.

We should form an exploratory committee and investigate forthwith!

At least when he's around, no one asks "where's the beef?"

17. Nice story
I'm torn between saying he ought to stop eating that fast food junk because we need him to live as long as possible; and wanting to know his secret for being able to eat yummy burgers and fries and stay so damned skinny!!!

But isn't life peculiar, just 2 years later and he's sitting alone in an airport. Contemplating the peculiarity of it all, and the fact that he's in a stupid airport in Wyoming while the world is plummeting into complete chaos. :freak:

18. That is a very strange thought isn't it?
How different the world would be right now if JK wasn't sitting in the BK in eating burgers and fries.

Oh, and if only his personal secret for staying thin could only be bottle and sold - the American people would elect him President for life!

33. Well, they are probably healthier than McDonalds burgers.
And he does need some fat in his diet, especially where he's so thin. He probably burns off all the calories he can consume because he works so hard and exercises a lot. And when he's not on the road, I'll bet Teresa makes him tow the mark diet-wise. The man is certainly no couch potato. I'd say he deserves a yummy burger every now and then, and some chocolate chip ice cream too!

In all honesty, I'd be curious to see what JK would look like, say 25lbs heavier. I bet he'd look FANTASTIC! (I'm not talking 25lbs around the middle. This guy is athletic.)

47. Exactly. There was a point somewhere around ten years ago when he
looked in really fantastic shape. When he's at optimal weight his face fills out and he looks far better on camera too. Not to mention, that he looks healtier with a little more weight, especially as he ages. Makes him look younger.

Yum! Only junk food hamburger I will eat.
And love their fries.

On edit -
But I'd eat a Whopper if JK was hanging out in there.

29. Wow! The Gore one looks REALLY authentic!
The Kerry one is pretty good, but he sort of looks like a cross between Kerry and Nicholas Cage.

37. I actually thought the Gore one was real - until I saw the
look a like label. The Kerry looks close enough that you would say he looks like JK, but I doubt he could be mistaken as him - the Gore one could be mistaken for Gore.

38. Is there a lot of money in looking like Gore or Kerry?
What do these people do? I remember during the Dem Convention the local news had a guy who looked sort of like Sen. Kerry running around Faneuil Hall and I couldn't figure out what he got out of it. (Plus, I think he was only 5'11" or so, so it wasn't like you could mistake him for the 6'$" or so Kerry.)

Is there a lot of money in pretending to be pols?

39. Depends
on how much he looks like the Senator and how close it is to payday.

Or is that not what you meant?

Having seen the real thing, there would be no accepting substitutes. We would know the real thing, even if we were somewhat to very inebriated. (We pass the test and move on.)

You just have to ask for it. It's not really a grilled cheese sandwich actually, haha. It's basically a cheeseburger without any meat. It's really, really good
