I usually try to avoid political posts, given my current vocation and my previous career, but there is one recommendation for voters back home in Opelika that I will always make when I can:

Unplug the Rug.

And here I am, forgetting today was Kristin Chenoweth Day - a day that should always be remembered and celebrated. @KChenoweth , here’s cheers.

[Cliff McCollum @mrmccollum]

Never been happier to hear Latin be spoken.

Sine Die, Alabama. Sine Die.

Nappie Award nominations were announced yesterday and clearly election security remains a huge problem in our state, especially with the example in this category with one of the nominees…

[Cliff McCollum @mrmccollum]

So, yeah, the Hot Doughnuts Now light turned on when I was stopped at the red light by the Krispy Kreme…

[Cliff McCollum @mrmccollum]

It is a rare yet wonderful thing to have an experience that lets one know that God exists, He loves you and He wants you to be happy - an experience that reaffirms “I Saw the Light” as a favorite and always on-point hymn.

@DrFireWillHeath Same. My sister and Anna Gore almost got trampled by the rush of people running out of the gym - just reading your tweet brought back that sense of panic and dread…

Did anybody have the “Larry David/Elmo Feud” on their 2024 BINGO card? #TeamLarryDavid

[Cliff McCollum @mrmccollum]

This is a great event in spite of the fact that they’ve asked me to be a speaker - but it is me getting to talk about Baldwin County and its delightful and quirky history, which is on brand.

Never a dull moment…

[Cliff McCollum @mrmccollum]

@SWHesq Raising a glass out here in Barnwell for him, my friend.

As Sir Terry Pratchett said “No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away.”

Continue to be one of his ripples in this world, just as you have been.

[Cliff McCollum @mrmccollum]

@CaesarsPalace Just did.

[Cliff McCollum @mrmccollum]

Trying to get customer service help from @CaesarsPalace or @CaesarsRewards is an endless maze of disconnected calls, endless ringtones, non-connected voicemails and an AI chatbot that is useless. I just wanted my breakfast order - is this too much to ask?

[Cliff McCollum @mrmccollum]

And since I’m stuck down here in Coastal Alabama this evening, I really have nothing better to do than continue to excoriate @Hertz for the lack of promised rental car at the airport - and three Christmas ghosts ain’t gonna change my mind on that. Bah humbug.

[Cliff McCollum @mrmccollum]

2023 Christmas Carols - “I’ll Be Home for Christmas … unless @Hertz overbooks and doesn’t honor a confirmed reservation.” Admittedly, slightly less catchy than the original but definitely what happened earlier this evening in Mobile.

[Cliff McCollum @mrmccollum]

And @travelocity , y’all and your little gnome friend are in this, too - can you and @Hertz learn how to communicate with each other so that I don’t have to live out a real-life way less damn funny version of Planes Trains and Automobiles.

[Cliff McCollum @mrmccollum]

Gee, @Hertz , appreciate the complete lack of vehicles in Mobile despite a confirmed reservation. My family won’t be having Christmas Eve Dinner because I’m still stuck 3.5 hours away. Oh, and you’ve made my 73-year-old mother cry. On Christmas Eve. Way to go.

[Cliff McCollum @mrmccollum]

So, @Delta , be better. And Delta Burke, keep shining, you beautiful Diamond.

[Cliff McCollum @mrmccollum]

After the flight delays and cancellation yesterday that is making me miss the first day of my legislative staff conference, @Delta is now officially my least favorite delta, ranked lower than Delta Dawn and Larry the Cable Guy’s “Delta Farce.” Still the GOAT - Delta Burke, obvi.

[Cliff McCollum @mrmccollum]

@HopperSupport @hopper I still have not heard anything from your support staff further this morning. No other accommodations have been made, nor refund given. Can I talk to an actual person and find out what is going on?

[Cliff McCollum @mrmccollum]

So, @HopperSupport I’m at my booking in Miami and the check-in people have no idea who we are nor have a reservation for us. Help?!

[Cliff McCollum @mrmccollum]

@waleedisonline @hopper Not as of yet.

[Cliff McCollum @mrmccollum]

So, @hopper , I’m at my booking in Miami which you confirmed and the front desk has no reservation in my name nor knowledge of my reservation. Help? Your app customer support keeps crashing. Help?!
