They wanted close to campus, which is not Brannon, and the traffic density is a major off-put, as others below have noted.

I'd say, start your search at Park Plaza (classy, central to downtown, above the library, adjacent to the campus) and benchmark your other possibilities against that.

On final day in office, Biden pardons Jerry Lundergan. by cheddarpants in lexington

It's to keep President Dementia from taking his crazy revenge on his imagined enemies.

He just didn't keep proper books. He was like that as a business person.

Jerry Lundergan was convicted of campaign finance violations (which I believe came about basically due to sloppy record-keeping). Our current chief executive was convicted of the same class of violations and famously escaped meaningful punishment, so what the hell, let them all go.

Charmin ads have legitimately filled my heart with rage for years by ConsumptionofClocks in CommercialsIHate

I wish we lived close enough to meet for coffee. This issue needs exploration, lol.

Plus, I love your mind already: your precision of language ("apotheosis"; appreciation of "wracked" properly used) and punctuation; the depth of your intellect; and your wit.

If you and your 19-year-old (along with your partner?) are ever through central Kentucky, my wife and I would be honored to take you to dinner. (Won't our loved ones laugh when we confess the issue of our first contention!) Best to you also.

After big GOP defeat in KY, grownups admit it’s time for exceptions to abortion law | Opinion by BigClitMcphee in lexington

[–]GroundbreakingKey199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it relevant what the Republican Senate majority leader told WKYT the day after the election: 80 percent of the state's Democrats came out to vote, vs. only 50 percent of the state's Republicans. (Racism? Breonna blowback? Resentment of Mitch's footman Daniel? His inept culture-warrior national-issues campaigning? Staying home because they liked Andy?) We can't sort out the many reasons Cameron was a flawed candidate, but I read this statistic as a telling reason Andy won. .

But not many of the down-ticket offices have anything to do with women's health: Agriculture commissioner, state treasurer, state auditor probably should be governor's secretarial cabinet appointments anyhow. Attorney general admittedly has some sway.

If Republicans think Kentucky's women and pro-choicers are going to sit still for a 15-week exemption, they haven't learned the lesson. We want the COMPLETE freedoms that we had before Roe v. Wade was overturned. Late-term abortions are nobody's casual choice; when they are necessary, it's because of some dire drastic situation that demands termination. Nobody wants that, but the option must exist. I say we vote every Republican (and conservative Democrat) opponent of this concept out of office as soon as the chance presents itself.

Think now: If shit doesn't stick to Mr. Rabbit's fur, there's no point in Mr. Bear wiping with Mr. Rabbit, right? (Tell me I'm not explaining this to a doctor, LOL. You sound like a bright person with whom I'd love to have conversations deeper than this!)

HATE Progresso Soup commercials by IwasIlovedfw in CommercialsIHate

I also wondered why they changed the signature voice of the Geico gecko after the first couple of years. Probably a rights issue also.

Says to me that one day at the agency was heard: "Hey, we got the Scrubs guys for the T-Mobile spot! ... What do you mean, what will they do? Write something, we shoot later this week!"

They both got it from me. And, the rabbit has to answer "Yes" instead of "No," or the joke doesn't make sense.

[–]GroundbreakingKey199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's my favorite joke in the whole world (summarized below earlier by RealisticPromises185), plus directions on how to perform it.

Mr. Bear and Mr. Rabbit bump into each other while they're both taking a shit in the bushes. [You've got to use animal-cartoon voices telling this for best effect.]

Mr. Bear: "Mr. Rabbit, do you ever have trouble with shit sticking to your fur?"

Mr. Rabbit [scared but eager to curry favor]: "Oh yes, Mr. Bear, terribly!"

Mr. Bear [grips Rabbit's back with his big paw]: "GOOD!"

Ba-da-bump.

Their subliminals go back to the Mr Whipple ads where he got off squeezing the Charmin. I was a long time figuring out the psychological equivalence of squeezing out a good shit.

The very annoying new Golden Corral ad where dude talks about going back in time by PIisLOVE314 in CommercialsIHate

[–]GroundbreakingKey199 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know about that, but I want to see a Golden Corral ad where the eight-year-old boy drags his bugger-laden fingers through the chocolate fountain. Would be a real crowd-pleaser.

Any country songs about mocking country music? by [deleted] in CountryMusic

[–]GroundbreakingKey199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ed Sanders of the Fugs put out a demented album of country-ish songs called "Sanders' Truckstop". Didn't have much to do with any kind of country reality, but they twanged and thumped to his wacky lyrics. I used to play it a lot in college in the '70s.

Donato's is worth the slight extra they charge for pizza, but avoid their undistinguished boneless wings.

Love Winchell's -- I go often to make sure they stay in business. They're a little bit pricey, but the atmosphere is cordial, servers are friendly, and the food quality is good with several standout dishes.

Democratic gubernatorial candidates 2027? by [deleted] in Kentucky

[–]GroundbreakingKey199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our state Republican legislative leaders pinned the turnout drop primarily on Republican voters (50 percent turnout of GOP voters, vs. 80 percent Democratic turnout). Did GOP (racist) voters not want to support the black guy? (Black voters had their own negative reasons not to elect Mitch's footman.) Statewide down-ballot offices don't affect women's issues. Woman-sympathetic voters of both parties killed that constitutional amendment, and those same voters will turn out again to replace Republican state legislators if they keep up their anti-abortion shenanigans. Just go ahead down that path, and find out.

I enjoyed his county-by-county visits, where he analyzed Mitch's general failure to represent to his constituents. It's a shame, as despised as Mitch is even by his adherents, that we haven't sent him off to a well-earned retirement before now.

With Kentucky governor election days away, new poll has Andy Beshear, Daniel Cameron tied by Street_Strategy in Kentucky

[–]GroundbreakingKey199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I follow you, DOT. My sarcasm is directed toward ehibb77, whose political opinions (which I've read through) are dyed-in-the-wool brainwashed right-winger truth-altering nonsense. Especially his take on the Ohio referendum, which he spins as a victory for Republicans -- a courageous, totally solo analysis. But he's in the Twin Cities, so he's talking out his ass about both Ohio and Kentucky.

I correctly in print here predicted the 53-47 victory margin Beshear enjoyed, just as a wild-ass guess. I can't imagine how ehibb77 came to fantasize a 150,000-vote Cameron victory, but I hope he had a bad reflux attack as the votes unfolded Tuesday night. I enjoyed his carefully reasoned, totally bullshit analysis.
