Chicago: home of the President of the United fucking States

Whole Lotta Rosie is an awesome song, no question. It's Bon Scott's entry to the "Songs in Praise of Sex with Fat Women" musical subcategory.

What else? Fat Bottom Girls, obvs.

Derrick Rose isn't practicing Monday after needing 10 stitches to close a gash in his arm. The Bulls said Rose suffered the injury when he rolled over onto a knife he was using to carve an apple while in bed. The injury isn't considered serious. Rose could play Tuesday at home against the Knicks.

that's what they all say

slicing your arm while rolling over onto a knife while carving an apple in bed vs. shooting yourself in the leg in the parking lot at applebees

ok i guess he shot himself in the leg at a club, not at applebees

anyone for pub quiz tomorrow?

yes

Sure.

cool. do we still have the gift card we got for getting 3rd place last time?

we would totally welcome more people to come to pub quiz ... it seems always better to have more people

this is at globe pub?

Yes, I have the gift card in my wallet.

nice, that's like a free round of beer

this is at globe pub?

Oui, madame.

When does the topic email show up? And how do you get on that list?

It usually comes into my inbox late Monday or early Tuesday. I'll post it here when I get it.

Just talk to Quizmaster Dave after the quiz to sign up.

I am going to wikipedia the shit out of every topic we can figure out, yay unemployment.

Actually I probably could have done that pretty easily while I was still working, the last few months at least.

I suck at quiz.

Tonight's quiz rounds:

1) Audio Rounds: Shortened Wino 10 pts
2) Happily Say D'Oh! 11 pts
3) Match- Hey You, Beer Me 15 pts
4) Chemical States Round 16 pts
5) Dead or Canadian 11 pts
6) Picture Round 15 pts
7) General Knowledge 22 pts

I have no idea if "Audio Rounds" means that it's an actual audio round (I've never seen him do that) or if that's part of an anagram.

I thought "Happily Say D'oh" might be a Simpsons round, but it's actually an anagram for "Happy Holidays." Still, Dan, it might not hurt to read up on the Simpsons Christmas episodes.

Audio RoundS with the S at the end implies something weird to me

Oh man. Blagojevich was taken into federal custody. It was only a matter of time.

crazy

Mood at the JRTC is... celebratory. Ha! That's what happens when you are the first governor since the passage of the Illinois State Labor Relations Act to bed a dick about contract negotiations.

Uh... be a dick, not bed a dick.

Our AA is listening to the radio and saying, "Wow! WHOA!" This should be good.

Eeee the "Wow/whoa" was in response to the radio talking about some connections with Obama. I guess the Feds have Blago on tape mentioning his name in some context?

WTF NPR?? You're playing music?? There have been 3 songs on in a row. Now is the time for news, you bastards.

Argh. Now they're playing the fucking Hold Steady. It goes from bad to intolerable. a;dlsfsad;lf

Update: there must be some mistake...I'm on the 24 hour program stream and there is a DJ announcing songs.

the connection to obama is that blago is getting busted for allegedly trying to get $$$ in connection to his power to pick obama's replacement as senator: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081209/ap_on_re_us/blagojevich_corruption_probe

ie not damaging to obama

Phew, okay, thanks. The AA is listening to some bs morning drive-time DJ show that she likes, so I was skeptical, but it is good to hear some independent confirmation.

Oh and Blagojevich also faked the birth certificate and he and Rezko oversaw Obama's secret Muslim conversion ceremony.

oh no!

LOL that is why it's a CERTIFICATION OF LIVE BIRTH and not a birth certificate!

ahh weather. why didn't i stay home today?

i did!

Hey, dudes.
* Should nick and I get iphones or some other type of phone?
* Should we get cable or dvr or satellite and if so from what company.. or nothing?

* yes they look cool
* dvr is amaaaaaaaaazing

or you could do a bfong and eschew life's modern conveniences and read esoteric books instead

i looked at the google phone thing and it doesn't seem much cheaper than the iphone, plus we have a mac so i'd be less worried about the iphone being compatible with our computer (like for music uploads or whatever) than the google phone. plus i wonder if the G1 applications store will take off like the itunes app store has?

I also heard that Blago used his influence to look at private files at the Trib, and used that information to get someone fired.

i want an iphone just so i can sync up my computer's calendars and address book really easily.

"Blagojevich also allegedly spent significant time weighing the option of appointing himself to the open Senate seat " LOL

Sarah/Nick - I have been researching iPhone v. G1 and it's a draw. The monthly plans are pretty much the same (within a couple of dollars) and the G1 is only slightly cheaper. The nice thing about the G1 is the actualy qwerty keyboard and the GPS. These are the things that are making me lean toward it.

But the iPhone's interface (esp the pinch and unpinch) is slightly nicer and you can use it as a remote for iTunes on your computer.

g1 is still a little new, i'd say. i'd wait for it to mature, personally

Since you have a Mac, I think you should get an iPhone. Google phones are amazing, I am not being a fan girl, but the iPhone to Mac relationship is totally true love.

Yeh, that's another thing. But for being so new, it has been getting some pretty good reviews.

The good news (for me) is that my current conract doesn't expire for 9 more months, so there is a chance that there will be a new generation of G1s.

xp

The GPS is pretty sweet though...

He was considering running for President in 2016?!

I'm too biased against cable to make a recommendation on that. If Jeff was not interested in sports, I think we could very easily ditch cable in favor of TV on the Internet. I mean, shit, our computer monitor is nicer than our TV, picture wise.
