tgi friday lore:
Most TGI Fridays have a propeller and a rowing scull on display as part of their antiques, which are actually a part of a story told to all TGI Fridays employees; the scull always contains a pair of saddle shoes and a bottle of champagne to remind employees of the value of teamwork, leadership, and celebrating success. The propeller is always above or near the bar. The thought is that the bar "propels" the restaurant.

obviously I'm glad he's not in Congress anymore but I am actually pretty damn impressed at the scale and breadth of his various grifts. there are a number of people whose entire life is a lie but Santos' life was 20 different lies at the same time. I mean obviously he didn't do a great job keeping them straight and everything sorta unraveled the instant you looked into literally any of it but still, takes some balls to even try

Sorry to repeat myself but the crewneck-sweater-plus-blazer thing is really creeping me out.
The v-neck sweater was specifically invented so that you could wear a tie with it. This was extensively discussed in the movie "Dave." 1993, Ving Rhames. Kevin Kline. Sheesh.

To distract myself from my tiresome cranky attire opinions, I looked backwards in my post history and found this:
What I want: people like him to either get the help they need or, at least, remain far from the levers of power.What I'd settle for: people like him to be removed from positions of power. Preferably with some punishment for the manifold deceptions and grifts.What I'll probably get: this guy skating away with precisely zero consequences, and with a self-serving narrative about how he's the real victim here.Sigh.― Pontius Pilates (Ye Mad Puffin), Thursday, August 31, 2023 2:20 PM (three months ago)

He has, in the intervening four days, stumbled across a path to making a living that dwarfs the $174,000 salary he earned as a member of Congress. In fact, Santos said — and screenshots and the CEO of Cameo confirmed — that he has lined up more than that sum in his first 48 hours on the platform....Santos “is going to be an absolute whale,” Cameo’s founder and CEO, Steven Galanis, told Semafor. His launch, Galanis said, is among the platform’s best ever: “Sarah Jessica Parker, Bon Jovi — he’s putting numbers up like that,” he said.
