Question of the day
Tuesday, Apr 17, 2018 - Posted by Rich Miller * From the governor’s Twitter page: “Great first meeting here in Germany with Vetter Pharma. Got an update on their state-of-the-art facility in Des Plaines which will employ over 300 people”…  * The Question: Caption? Also, FYI, that Des Plaines facility may not break ground until 2022, according to the Daily Herald. It got an EDGE tax deal in 2016.

Wonder where I can git one of these cool outfits to take home with me.

One of the Village People was a lab technician, right?

“I need to take a couple of these back to Illinois with me. This will help keep my jean blue and my leather jacket clean when I’m throwing “stuff” all over the place to see what sticks.”

So where do the Oompa Loompas come from?
- Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 1:56 pm:
(Intro)
“Oompa Loompa doompadee doo
I’ve got another puzzle for you
Oompa Loompa doompadee dee
If you are wise you will listen to me
Who do you blame when Rauner tells the tall tales
Can’t tell the truth while his Illinois fails?
Blaming Madigan is a lion of shame
You know exactly who’s to blame:
Madigan and Democrats
Oompa Loompa doompadee dah
If you’re not fooled then you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doompadee do”

Who knew Carhart branched out into shower caps?
- A Jack - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:01 pm:
He could have called for an update. Isn’t he supposed to be looking for new business?
- Res Melius - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:02 pm:
Got that over with. Next stop Rammstein.
- Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:02 pm:
“Don’t tell him, but the Governor has the cap on backwards…”

300 jobs? The edge agreement doesn’t require that until 2028. They only need to create 5 jobs this year.
5 jobs.
2 years after signing the agreement.
And this is the kind of deal that he flies across the globe to tout.

“Ok governor, now tuck your ears in the cap… “
- Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:12 pm:
“The governor asked me to ask you if he could keep the costume, and are there accessories he can purchase at the gift shop to round off the look… “
- jimk849 - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:13 pm:
We are embarrassed as he is.
- Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:15 pm:
The Fizzy Lifting drinks were obviously flat, as the Governor was grounded during this part of the tour.

So this outfit will protect me from my toxic mismanagement of DCFS & the Quincy Veterans Home, right?

“No, the governor plans to wear the Lederhosen after this… “
- Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:18 pm:
“No, Governor, all new hires start with the Sloppy Joe station, then creamed corn, then mashed potatoes, then the ice cream machine. No exceptions.”

The guy in blue in the background is Madigan for sure. He loves to photo-bomb
- VanillaMan - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:23 pm:
I don’t understand why you find this funny. They are wearing outfits that will prevent contamination. The hairnets are requied by law. No one would laugh at a surgeon wearing these kinds of clothes. Seriously, no one in Germany would ever laugh at this photo.
- Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:23 pm:
Ironically, Gov. Rauner explained the Illinois State Police codename for him is “Everlasting Gobstopper”, like our candy.
- Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:25 pm:
“We told your governor that the coats and caps weren’t needed 45 minutes ago, but he insisted to keep them on. We didn’t want to insult him, so we kept them on too.”
- Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:26 pm:
“Yes, Governor, we can monogram the coat, but it’s extra and it’ll have to be shipped to you…”
- Rich Miller - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:28 pm:
===No one would laugh at a surgeon wearing these kinds of clothes===
He ain’t a surgeon.

- Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:29 pm:
The Governor bought 7,865,392 “Wonka” bars, but he found his Golden Ticket.
He melted all the leftover chocolate from the bars and made a solid chocolate trashcan van.
- A guy - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:31 pm:
==They are wearing outfits that will prevent contamination==
He might want to bring these home for his next visit to Quincy then. /s
- Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:31 pm:
Governor Rauner was melancholy, as his wish was to be like Charlie and bring his Swedish grandfather to the Wonka plant…
- VanillaMan - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:32 pm:
After his presentation, the Germans wisely chose drei Misters to follow the Governor with shovels.

Is this from a Woody Allen movie?: https://youtu.be/mGj1smf-_vc
- A Jack - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:34 pm:
Today, Rauner made good in his promise to save taxpayers money. He saved $5 in long distance phone charges by flying to Germany for an update.
- Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:36 pm:
“Sorry we’re running late, the Illinois governor wanted his ‘flair’ on the ‘costume’, and we had to explain that for safety reasons ‘we’ don’t wear flair with our lab wear”
- Flapdoodle - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:36 pm:
==Seriously, no one in Germany would ever laugh at this photo.==
Really? You’re so sure of that? I think a fair number of them would laugh at “der lange blöde Amerikaner, der da hinten im Bild steht.”
- Grandson of Man - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:38 pm:
Can I keep this one to add to my collection? I’m starting a costume gallery.
- Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:39 pm:
“No, only 5… the Illinois Governor brought his own lab safety wear… we found it odd too, but… “
- VanillaMan - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:40 pm:
Governor - when you feel thirsty drink from this tube, when you answer correctly a schnitzel bite will drop out of this chute. Your new friends are Torsten, Wiebke, and Andreas. They will show you how to make a nest out of the saw dust.
- VanillaMan - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:43 pm:
Herr Doktor,
The tall male is hallucinating again…
- Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:44 pm:
“We thought about it, but we felt it was best to skip the Golden Egg room and that whole ‘Good Egg - Bad Egg’ thingy for the Governor.”
- Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:48 pm:
“The Illinois governor asks if he could meet, privately, with a ‘Mister Slugworth‘, whoever that is…”
- VanillaMan - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:48 pm:
Indeed, they still appear pleased even after having ingested the “we’re going to build in Illinois” placebo.
- Jocko - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:50 pm:
Bruce is checking on the progress of his Raunerbots to be completed this fall. In addition to flailing their arms helplessly, they will say “It’s Madigan’s fault” and “JB will raise taxes” to any question.
- Thomas Paine - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:55 pm:
Anyone can see the obvious Oompa Loompa comparison.
Wow. Some pics you do not take, and if you have to take them, do not share.
- Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 2:56 pm:
(Intro)
Come with me
And you’ll be
In Rauner’s world of pure “imagination”
Take a look
And you’ll see
Into his “imagination”
We’ll begin
With a spin
Traveling in
The world of his “creation”
What we’ll see
Will defy
“Explanation”
If you want to view paradise
Simply look “toward east” to view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There’s nothing to it
There is no
Life I know
To compare to Bruce’s “imagination”
“Living” there
You’ll be “free”
If you truly wish to be
If you want to see magic lands
Close your eyes and you will see one
Want to be a dreamer, be one
Anytime you please and please save me one
Come with me
And you’ll be
In Bruce’s world of pure “imaginatio
Take a look
And you’ll see
Into his “imagination”
There is no
Place to go
To compare with his “imagination”
So go there
To be free
If you truly wish to be
“Living” there
You’ll be free
If you truly wish to be
(Slow fade out)

Rauner likes posing for pictures, but doesn’t seem to be able to handle the work that a Governor is responsible for.
- Arthur Andersen - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 3:38 pm:
“Greg, hurry and get in the picture with me.”

“I know, usually it’s the Lt. Governors who visit that we can get to look ridiculous. He just volunteered to wear it.”

(The way to read these Caption Contest comments is to scroll down quickly and only read every fifth or sixth comment. Maybe only every tenth comment. Time is money.)
- Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 4:34 pm:
“Take off the safety goggles, they make us look ridiculous. Ok… now take the picture.”

He was trying to get into the clean room without PPE when we persuaded him that posing in these goofy get ups would make for a better picture. What a rube.
- James - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 6:03 pm:
guess some of them are, more than 50% are not
- Huh? - Tuesday, Apr 17, 18 @ 6:24 pm:
I’d rather be posin’ and smilin’ in one of those blue outfits, but they wouldn’t give me one. Those blue costumes look much cooler. Gotta get me one.
