Chicago: Totally hands-free!!!

They sell Cleverness.

they just fucking sell boxes

Have any of you ever been to Whiting, IN?

This is where that huge BP oil refinery is that's been in the news lately because they wanted to expand and pollute even more into Lake Michigan than they're already doing. Never been there, but I've driven on the Skyway often enough to know that that area isn't all that attractive.

The Container Store is not dumb.

Jesse you should get a Container Store tattoo.

The Container Store is going to be the issue that will finally tear CHILX (and possibly my marriage) apart.

I was going to say that Nick's response is a typically guy response, but I don't even think that. I am pretty sure that Jeff is into it as well.

and is also comparing it to 'the lion king on broadway'.

Well, this isn't so weird since they're both directed by Julie Taymor. I'm kind of interested in it insofar as I'm a sucker for high-concept films, but I can also see myself completely hating it. I disliked Moulin Rouge, for instance.

And Kenan.

Never been there, but I've driven on the Skyway often enough to know that that area isn't all that attractive.

we should ALL pollute there!

I haven't been to the Container Store in years! It seems pretty cool, though.

the thing is, i NEED boxes

I
I was at The Container Store
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

I really want to post that youtube link again, but I just can't.

Nick and Sarah: FIGHT IT. Don't fall prey to the suburbs now that you're married. It doesn't have to be that way!

yes, do! I don't think I remembered to bookmark it.

Oh we are not moving to the suburbs, Sarah is just crazy.

House for rent in Whiting is less than our rent now. Of course, you aren't in Chicago.

xposts... Ahhh, I see.

now I'm selling fucking boxes to fucking idiots who gotta fucking pack up their lamps and shit

That IS a beautiful and tempting piece of land!

NO! NONONONO!

I could not in all good conscience discourage anyone from living there. It's lovely.

This is more my style.

Bringing it all back around: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF3Mlzfjdmc.

The word "bungalow" just sounds cozy.

Someone sum up the underage sex thread for me. I just can't be bothered today. *sigh*

The concept of characters like "Strawberry Field"...not for me.

The solution to the overperfumed is a sharp counterpunch with Febreeze.

Plenty of bungalows in Chicago once you get west of, say, Pulaski. The neighborhood where my grandma lived, in Elmwood Park, just a few blocks west of Chicago, is like all bungalows all the time.

Summary for Kenan: "The defendant spent far longer than was necessary to pass the Sambuca from his mouth to the girl's."

i have a HOUSE

Woah! Check out this living room!

You need to throw a party, wolf.

Why is it so early? I'm frickin' starving.

I ate a brownie.

I brought one for later.

I'm bored.

I don't really get The Container Store. but: I am a horrible slob.

today is going soooooo sloooowwwwllllyy. sigh. at least yesterday, when the boss (who clearly thought she was sarah jessica parker) was here, there was lots to do to keep busy!

i think we will be throwing a party soon enough here

RW, will you be playing at the bottle show in October?

Y!
