Chicago: home of the President of the United fucking States

i will forever battle against the importance of authenticity in food

it's the bane of my existence

Ed Rendell is kind of a goober, too. The biggest obstacles that I personally have found in the way of a good Philly cheesesteak outside of Philadelphia are incorrect choice of bread (Amoroso's FTW) and an urge to expand the cheese selections beyond Wiz or provolone.

don't forget tomatoes too nick

None of which is to say that a cheesesteak outside of these parameters is not good, just that it doesn't meet the definition of Philly cheesesteak. Call it something else, like "Delicious Non-regionally Affiliated Steak Sandwich."

how about "steak sandwich"

lol dan otm

how about "steak sandwich"

Too short.

fauxlidelphia steak sandwich

Greasy
Steak
Sandwich
with
Onions
and
Cheese substance

I second Fauxlidelphia.

I ONLY brought up authenticity b/c Kenan was acting like such a thing as Cheez Wiz on a cheese steak was unheard of an somehow a violation of all that is cheese steak.

The whole point is that - again, authentic or not - it's divine.

Uh, the ONLY *reason I* brought up...

Guys, this is like arguing over what an authentic donut is. It's a fatty piece of shit that is engineered to taste good to the part of our brain that thinks it needs to fatten up for the winter.

I will not argue about cheesteaks on the internet.

gross
kenan eats donuts made of poops

xp yeah but is it real excrement or is it that processed crap

xxp damn it, joek too slow

Let's talk about something less controversial.

Personally, I believe there is no god.

HA yes, high five

you guys

crackin me up today

Again, I am not now, nor have I today argued authenticity.

This reminds me of a Tim's sister who, when someone mentioned chocolate and bananas eaten together reacted as though she had heard "ice cream with sisal rope."

don't get me started on donuts. i discovered a newfound loathing of donuts yesterday. i will eat a pint of ben and jerry's if i want to augment my hips with insanely caloric foodstuffs. fuck a greasy, heavy donut.

i ate one and felt sick all afternoon.

i'm glad someone besides myself is perpetuating the "i am not arguing about ___ on the internet" meme

And Tim's friend pointed out that a very well known choco/banana combo was a banana split. Her response: "Well, I don't like banana splits."

xp!

Krispy Kreme's are the answer to greasy heavy donuts (I'M LOOKING AT YOU FUCKING DUNKIN')

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Nick.

Krispy Kreme's are the answer to greasy heavy donuts

Uh huh. It's right there in the name, innit?

Li'l more on Prop 8's future in the courts: http://soqueer.blogspot.com/2008/11/prop-8-update.html

hey y'all.

if you want amusement, check out the results for the congressional races in chicago. jesse jackson jr. won by something like 89/11. bobby rush, 86/14. jan schakowsky, my mom's congresswoman, something like 77/23.

she is my congressional rep too (schakowsky)
i voted for her

Used to be mine, too, but now I'm on Rahm's turf. Although perhaps not for long, if he accepts the CoS job.

Luis Gutierrez got 80some% too IIRC.

I voted for the Green candidate b/c the dude showed up at our door one day. No I can't remember his name.

I'm a Jan fan, but she's not my rep. I'm in Rahm's district, too. My state reps are Cullerton and Feigenholtz, who retained their seats.

I was hoping that the greens might have won Water Reclamation District commissioner, but they did not.

Oh I forgot to mention that I won tickets to that Swedish vampire movie for tomorrow night. Anyone want to see it with me? It starts at 7:00 at Landmark, but I'm probably going to get there at least 30-40 minutes early, because they always overbook these things.

dang i would but i have class until 6:30 and then practice

I voted Green for most of my local elections unless I particularly liked or hated the other candidates (Dick Durbin and Tony Peraica, respectively).

Oooo I definitely want to see that movie. Is it going to have a regular run at the Landmark or is it one night only?

i want to do something fun tonight since i have barely left the house so far this week

I think it is going to have a regular run -- this is just a preview screening.

lol I voted for Tony Peraica against Todd Stroger for Cook Co. Board President, the only time in my life I have voted Republican. (It had less to do with Peraica than with Stroger, who seemed like an incompetent stooge).

Oh okay, good. I really want to see it, but I can't go tomorrow. Don't tell me if it sucks!

John - I did the same, for the same reason. And I think we were right. Sigh.

John, I would love to go with you if no one else has taken the ticket off your hands.

As long as we can hold each other during the scary parts.

Jesse will cut a hole in the bottom of the popcorn bag.

Haha. That gets me every time. I need to find the email where you first said "You can cut a hole in the popcorn bucket and put your pecker through it."

I am not reading ANY bad news if I can help it today. Tomorrow I can deal with bad stuff. For today I'm going to enjoy the good parts.

wtf you sent me that stupid editorial saying we should be sorry for Bush, what was that?

that was for LOLs

Bush is on his way out.

WSJ says we've been mean to him.

LOL

I suppose dumber than shit does not equal bad, necessarily

Haha. That gets me every time. I need to find the email where you first said "You can cut a hole in the popcorn bucket and put your pecker through it."

this is from the movie "diner" and also from history
