Vice President at Coney Island

[SaintMe]

Apparently Joe Biden is at either Lafayette or American right now. I didn't ask which. But a big motorcade just drove down Michigan and all the intersections were blocked by police on motorcycles. So yeah, go say hi. Or don't.

[jjaba]

Joe, order two on one, one loose, mustard and onions. Vernors, cheese fries, and fresh hot apple pie ala mode. Get some Pepto to go.

jjaba, from the Westside.

[jjaba]

Achmed, Achmed, make that a chili cheese fries. Allah Akbar, I forgot the chili.
Joe.

He was at Lafayette with the Governor.

[Detroitnerd]

I hope they both get indigestion and have to fight over the basement crapper.

[Mikeg]

So, the Gov's favorite "man with the cash" is back in town - did he bring any this time or is he just here to schmooze and raise funds?

I was walking nearby and noticed the activity so I went over. Ended up meeting them and getting my pictue taken. Biden is a good looking fellow for sure.

Wonder what he thought of the Lafayette demo going on next door.

[Meddle]

That's one place I miss. Wonder if I can mail order the fixin's and have 'em shipped to me?

Yes, just check out their web-sight.

They blocked intersections so that turd could eat a coney dog? That's putting our tax dollars to good use.

[jjaba]

buildingsofdetroit, that's exactly jjaba's seat at Lafayette. Great photo, thanks.
Note that Joe is trying to avoid mustard on white shirt.
jjaba, two on one, mustard, lite onions, Vernors.

Maybe it's news to you, but where ever the President or Vice President go... they block intersections, close freeways, etc. It's been that way ever since JFK was assasinated... I thought everyone would be up to speed by now...

Our tax dollars have been in CONSTANT USE for decades...

According to Fox News, this has only happened since the swearing in of President Obama, thus we should be outraged!

You should've seen EB I-94 this morning. Totally blocked off around Middlebelt...and not the 'you have to get off here' kind of blocked...they had all three lanes of traffic stopped dead with nowhere to go.

Thank the gods I was on the WB side...

Jjaba:

Please pardon my ignorance - and I may loose Detroit cred for having to ask - but what does the phrase "two on one" mean?

[jjaba]

detroitej72, when jjaba and gistok eat at The Lafayette, they also close off the streets. Infact, like VP Biden, you'll never see Detroit riff-raff in any picture with us eating there. Like Biden, gistok is such a great tipper, they close down the joint until we've had our Coneys. Ahmed, the Yemini, gives us exactly like we order, and gistok rewards from the heart.

jjaba, the truth.

If they said anything remotely like that, it's simply one more reason to stop watching Fox "News". I've personally seen every President since Reagan [[along with the corresponding Vice Presidents) with that kind of security around them.

[jjaba]

Fnemecek, how can you lose Detroit street cred with a name like your handle?

Two on one refers to two items on one plate, ordered at one time; so, "two on one, one loose"
means two items, one a regular Coney, one loose hamburger. Each come on a hot dog bun at The Lafayette. Try to order like Detroiters order the next time you order Coneys and see if they know the system.

Similarly, ask for your Chicago dog "walked through the garden." Same idea.

jjaba on the Westsdie waiting for the damn streets and I-94 to re-open.

This is an outrage. Why are we taxpayers forced to pick up the tab whenever the Vice President decides to eat lunch. If the Vice President thinks he is too good to starve for four years, then it's time we take up arms and take our country back.

This is just way too much money and security to spend on an obvious political ploy. Now all of the children who eat coneys will be indoctrinated into Radical Marxist Left-Wing Fascist Stalinist Revisionist Communist Che Guevara Socialistic Guerilla Nazi bin Laden Socialism Hitler You Betcha ism.

It's just one small step from coney dogs to Communism.

[jjaba]

Coney dogs, one long step for man, one giant step for Mankind.
Bearinabox, you ARE a hoot! ROTFLMJAO.

Jjaba, its priceless gems like this that makes us at DY glad your back!

That's what you get on FAUX News.
