Let's see if we can twist this into an extension of political shit-storm threads.

Is it "Advice and Consent" or "Advise and Consent?"

Both, really. The Constitution refers to "advice and consent" in the noun form. But one could use the verb form "to advise and consent" when talking about the Senate's actions. The Senate advises and consents when giving its advice and consent.

The Breeze Inn just outside of Duluth has a mean Jucy Lucy. Bacon blue cheese is my go to.

There is no "I" in Jucy Lucy™, Matt's Bar.

Sad to say, as much as I like the taste of blue cheese, my body doesn't take too kindly to it.

Audible tummy rumblings and unwelcome gas from both ends of the spectrum ...

You want some advice?

Skyline >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Goldstar.

Not familiar with either.

After 36 years in MN I'm Hormel through and through.



[Though I did buy Bushs's for the few years it was packaged in little Mason Jars. They came in handy.]

One of my dogs like to eat poop. Perhaps I'll fill her bowl with Skyline as a comparable distraction.

I need advice on asking about advice. I may not take your advice though.

I haven't watched any film on advice, but would suggest if an expert in the field gives you advice, decline it unless a bunch of people who write advice columns all give the same advice.

Then, if you take the advice, make sure that you only use it for a few years, even if the advice is working....because new advice is newer, and will have a longer shelf life.

If you go against the advice, and it is clear that you should have taken the advice, then just say "it is my opinion" and that will disqualify the bad decision

If you're ever in prison, smile at fellow inmates during shower time to make it less uncomfortable for everyone. Great way to make new friends.

"Advise and Consent?"

Excellent 1962 Otto Preminger film. One of Charles Laughton's best performances.



"Advice and Consent"

A clause in a booklet Khizr Khan carries with him whenever he goes on national TV.

ADVICE:

If you keep a commemorative Yankees World Series Championship can of Coke from 1996 on your desk, it WILL explode if they turn the building's AC off over night.

Do not put important things around the Coke from '96, which may or may not be made of volatile materials that are activated by heat.

My family loves Portillos. Not sure if somebody else can offer a better suggestion for Italian beef, but I'm all ears.
