Yes, I know those are war machines.

Yes, I know that they rain horror and destruction down on unfortunate BPLNOs world-wide.

YES, YES, I know.

Dude, though.

Barrel rolls and shit.

Explain.

Oh yeah! Fuckin'-a! Blue Angels' death machines working hard to entertain real Americans. Every goddamn summer! Go team!

Does this spectacular "Air and Water Show" appear elsewhere or is it a specifically midwestern nightmare?

Motherfuckers are ripping the sky above me head as I write... Colleague A made sure to mention that she's going to a rooftop party this weekend to take in the show. Colleague B made sure I knew that he was in the service, so maybe I should not talk about how the military has been hijacked and outsourced -- "those planes are for protection." Ok, man, sure.

I'm totally with ya on this brutha. I hate the motherfucking air show with a vengeance and secretly wish for a disaster every year (preferably one that only impacts the pilots) so as to finally put an end to this wasteful and reckless tradition.

hate it. they were practicing down on the south side today. between the jets and the fireworks from the sox game, it sounded goddam warrific at work today.

I heard this crap in addition to five or so gunshots midday in Logan Square.

I love it. I really enjoy seeing, and even moreso hearing, these jets in action. these jets are not killing anyone, they are flying over Chicago, presumedly completely unarmed. I love hearing fighter jets flying over my urban hometown.

You must be a laugh-riot to hang and talk with at parties.

You and the crotchety guy above should be roommates.

Wow! Fireworks from Sox back to back to back to back home runs and F-18s in the sunny Chicago sky... What a nightmare. You and the two crotchety guys above should find a 3-bedroom bunker away from all this fun.

Huh? Ohh, right. Can't have one without the other. Got it.

Sweet island oasis of reason.

It's an air show, people.

Lighten up, Francis'.

But yeah, I'm sure I'm the only person on the planet who can separate them from their original intent. Everyone else is just a brainless rube who wants war.
