No, it'll be the temperatures. And the resulting lack of something to eat. And possibly, just possibly, the new disease bugs that just love a warmer Earth. That, BTW, is what we call speculation. Just a small clarification for stanky's sake.

An unfortunate minority of rational Umercans are asking exactly the same thing. How in the name of a steaming cesspool could the majority have done this to themselves and us?

Fuck it.

The Gobbler Supper Club & Motel was a roadside attraction built for Clarence Hartwig, a turkey-industry tycoon, between 1966-1968 in Johnson Creek, Wis., at the intersection of Highway 26 and I-94. Hartwig wanted out of the turkey business and requested Helmut Ajango, a Prairie-Style architect, to build him a striking restaurant and motel in honor of his former profession.

The exterior was made from Quartz crystal and lava rock, imported from a volcano in Mexico. As you walked inside, you were greeted by an onslaught of pinks, purples, brasses and all shades in between. From the walls the turkey-motif carpeting and the vinyl chairs to the clamshell phone booths. Gold lights hanging from chains, purple-fabric maître d’ stand, turkey-patterned carpet ... also free champagne Monday through Thursday. It was definitely a sight to see and experience.

The revolving bar originally came from the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Chicago, seats 34 and makes a complete rotation every 1 hour and 20 minutes. At the bar, you wouldn’t be able to tell if your vertigo was induced by the booze or the spinning bar. People got confused when they stepped off and they couldn’t find their friends when they returned. The bartender would slow it down to accommodate. When the bar started, the bartender couldn’t get out until the bar swung around so that its opening matched the doorway again, eighty minutes later. What a trip! If one bartender was on duty, the bar usually wouldn’t run.

“The Roost,” a circular dance floor suspended from the ceiling over the rotating bar, was added in 1970. The restrooms were shaped like a wedge and wallpapered with red, purple and gold design. It was an experience in itself—and even more after consuming a few drinks. As for the menu, nearly almost item on the menu contained turkey in one form or another. A hot turkey dinner and a brandy old fashion could heal any soul. A delightful dining experience, specializing in turkey and prime rib, seven days a week.
