Chicago: home of the President of the United fucking States

Might lose some of the after-church crowd, though.

I just discovered Chicago Fire fanfic... I just... ew.

I love the video on that. When I am in the old folks' home, bring me photos and videos of people drinking malort.

Man, I would pay the full 10 bucks to see a show at the MCA called Malort with wall-size photographs like those.

It could be called something lofty like "Malört: Portraits of Revulsion," or, "Malört: A Malediction on the Palate."

Hey there is a protest against Prop 8 at the Federal Plaza this Saturday from 12:30 to 3:30 if anybody is interested. It's part of a nation-wide protest happening across the country at the same time. xoxo

Also, great place to hook up.

! That's true!

I can find fellow mack-tivists.

malort tastes like grapefruit juice

...strained through a bum's dirty underwear and mixed with crushed up aspirin.

If hate had a taste, it would taste like Malort.

Welcome to Chicago, where the time-honored local customs include gangland murders, rampant political corruption, inhuman winters, and one of the foulest liquors ever deliberately created!

Walk away and taste the pain

hey dudes ... ally is going to be in town this weekend, would anyone be interested in hanging out? friday or sunday would be best for me and sarah.

I'm up for hanging whenever, but just to be difficult... Saturday is best for me.

if u guys are looking for some kind of nightlife experience my friend is djing @ evil olive but that might not be up yr guys alley. just thought id throw it out there, thats where ill be

friday

Oh cool, I've never met Ally. I can't do Friday at all, though (wedding). On Saturday I'm going to a co-worker's art show, but I'm pretty sure that'll be early evening, so later would be doable. Sunday's fine, too.

Whenever. But yeah.

If I see you this weekend, Kenan, I'll try to remember to burn your 1993 mix.

Oh rock! Yeah, that would be cool. I can't believe I lost every copy I had of that.

ON SATURDAY YOU FAGS SHOULD COME PROTEST RIOT WITH ME AND JENNY AND SARAH.

Assuming Morbius hasn't already posted this:
August, Osage County to be adapted to film

huh

Hi! Hi. I really want to make some gingerbread. Does anybody have a good recipe?

This recipe for gingerbread cupcakes with cream cheese frosting is like WHOA - http://cupcakestakethecake.blogspot.com/2008/11/gingerbread-cupcake-recipe.html.

But I would also like to make just regular old gingerbread.

http://angrychicken.typepad.com/angry_chicken/2005/11/the_gingerbread.html

That one looks good because it has coffee in it.

i always start with the joy of cooking recipe because i figure that it's time tested. i made gingerbread once and it was really good, but i never made it again. if memory serves, it was pretty good.

So did we ever determine when we're hanging out w/Ally?

no

i'm thinking sunday but i need to check with her

I think I'll just make gingerbread cookies instead.

It's a gingerbread CHILD! Not a gingerbread CHOICE!

without the eye it looks a little like a tick

That's pretty fitting, in a parasitic growth kind of way.

Hey, did you guys read how Daley said our city is screwed, job-wise? And that the CTA is raising fares? Interesting times ahead.

good thing people always need rock n' roll. it's recession proof!

fuck me

I know, bro. We need to start the Eazy & Deej Moving Company or something.

Moving Company/Wedding DJs.

haha i will absolutely do this

divorce DJs

Interesting times ahead.

Ahead? Hell, it's interesting right now. A world of suck ahead, is more like it.

What kind of jobs really are recession-proof?

• stripper
• brewmaster

I'm drawing a blank after that.

• Midwife for home-birthing Obama babies

No matter what happens, you can't stop folks from drinkin' and screwin'.
