I'll admit... I'm not fond of the google auto-complete game. Ya know, you see how google's auto-complete feature fills in this or that... to hilarious consequences.
Not.

Anyway, I stumbled across this googling for this post. So, for your disapproval, "google illinois":


Jeez, that's a head-shaker.

I was googling is search of an uber-obnoxious radio ad I heard in the car. The Illinois lottery was screeching about some game and if you won you'd have to deal with a "Cash-a-lanche". And the lady was calling into the Illinois lottery trying to figure out how to buy an island or something. Proudly, I suppressed my gag reflex and drove on.

Of course, the Illinois Lottery has a website. I figgered that much. I didn't know that the Illinois Lottery goes to campus bars and peddles their wares. It's called "Bags & Bucks". See?

The Illinois Lottery will be in Champaign on Oct 9 at the Firehaus Grill. Excellent. The schedule also includes Northern, Southern, Western, and Northwestern flavors of "Illinois state university". I don't see North Central College on the list. He he.

They have 2 flavors of games for the college kids... "Tailgate events" and "Bar events".

QOTD
"Bar Events - Play a real game of bags at these bar events for a chance to win Bags n Bucks Instant Tickets or Lottery merchandise. You can also buy tickets from our Lucky Lottery Ladies and enter the drawing for a chance to win your very own Baggo set."
- Illinois Lottery Bags & Bucks promotion, www.illinoislottery.com/BagsBucks
I can't for the life of me find a picture of the "Lucky Lottery Ladies". I found a tiny paragraph about the girls at the lottery site, but no pictures. Why aren't these girls proudly displayed, ala the Miller Lite Babes or Corona Hotties or something. Little help?

The lottery is the most regressive tax known to man, right? I mean you could tax the shit out of baby formula, and the lottery would get a higher percentage of its dough from poor people. Right?

Of course, the Illinois Lottery isn't about "the children" or "the budget" or whatever... it's about keeping your gig over at the Illinois Lottery. It's about pow-ah. It's about growing government at any price. Any. Price.

The Illinois Lottery is what we're going through this with health care and global warming right now. The feds will do or say anything to increase the size and specter of the federal government. Any. Thing.

Stream of consciousness and I'm off to code... google "illinois bikini"


That's some "Miss Illinois" from some year. Jeez.

Or, if you prefer your women a little larger.


This is a giant plastic woman in Peoria.
