there is no such thing as a bad breast, I have come to believe.

A/B/C/D are all are wonderful in their own ways.

xpost, heh.

Maybe gals/gays say the same thing about dicks. The beauty is in the person, or in the thing that is what it is.

― Eazy, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 20:33 (nineteen years ago)

Sorry, I'll go back to editing something about Supertankers and Newbuildings.

I know, I looked away for like 5 minutes and there were suddenly 208 new answers.

I was avoiding, but now I'm reading it. :(

I'm editing a report about these.

― Eazy, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 20:46 (nineteen years ago)

They're called boats.

And these!

Enough kittens, time for some industry!

― Eazy, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 20:48 (nineteen years ago)

Boats are so cool.

― dan m, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 20:49 (nineteen years ago)

My dad's midlife crisis looks very similar to this:

SCRAPING PAINT AND VARNISH SO MUCH FUN YOU GUYS

― dan m, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 20:51 (nineteen years ago)

is that a crisscraft dan?

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 20:52 (nineteen years ago)

I was just thinking the same thing about boats being cool. I'm sort of scared of being in the middle of the ocean, but I've never been on a boat trip. Seems like fun for the ages as long as it wasn't on a giant cheesemongering cruise ship.

― La Lechera, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 20:52 (nineteen years ago)

xpost Lyman. The Chevy to Chris-Craft's Caddy.

Did the Pontiac Bar and Cafe on Damen go out of business? I called the number from the online listing and called 411 and it says the number is disconnected!

― Jesse, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 20:54 (nineteen years ago)

And the 411 guy says that at their address there is a place called "Pontiac Fruit and Produce."

― Jesse, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 20:54 (nineteen years ago)

Oh beautiful runabout, Dan!

― Laurel, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 20:55 (nineteen years ago)

And these!

They're called lego boats.

― Jordan, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 20:55 (nineteen years ago)

i went deep sea fishing when i was in hawaii a few years ago. we didn't get so much as a nibble. it was me and jen and this dude she worked with and his wife. the girls got sea sick, me and blaine split 48 beers between us. it wasn't half bad.

i used to go deep sea fishing with my pop when i was a kid, we'd catch a lot more fish but it was mostly cod and mackrel and the occasional flounder.

xpost- pontiac was open last weekend.

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 20:56 (nineteen years ago)

That there's a SuezMax!

― Eazy, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 20:57 (nineteen years ago)

Pee thread is killing me softly.

― Jordan, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 20:57 (nineteen years ago)

Thx Laurel, that one looks slightly nicer than the old man's but is nearly identical on the base level. Fucking things are so much work, I can't even begin to count the hours of scrape scrape scrape, paint paint paint...

Best summer trip ever though was driving the sucker out to Isle Royale and back.

― dan m, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 20:58 (nineteen years ago)

For me at least, there's something so terrifying about being on a boat with people. I mean, I wouldn't hang out in a small, doorless walk-in closet with people, so why would I want to be trapped on a similarly-sized watercraft with no way to escape (aside from swimming.) Still, the idea is appealing for that very reason. Boats scream: TRAPPED! That could be good or bad, but at least it's not boring.

― La Lechera, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 20:59 (nineteen years ago)

Well, what the fuck, Pontiac??

― Jesse, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 20:59 (nineteen years ago)

Dude why are you using 411 when you are online?

― dan m, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 21:00 (nineteen years ago)

Because I Googled them and used 411.com and came up with a dead number. Then I called 1800 FREE 411 and they gave me the same number.

― Jesse, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 21:02 (nineteen years ago)

way too many steps

― dan m, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 21:03 (nineteen years ago)

Pontiac Cafe & Bar
1531 N. Damen Ave.
773-252-7767

that the # you have?

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 21:04 (nineteen years ago)

Srsly.
Why do you wanna call them anyway?

So, no brunch for Eric or John. Dan might be asleep. Kevin might be asleep.

― KitCat, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 21:05 (nineteen years ago)

"asleep".

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 21:06 (nineteen years ago)

I want to make party for J**ny for her g*ad*at*on! I want to see if they will make special arrangements. And yes, that's the number I have that is disconnected.

― Jesse, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 21:06 (nineteen years ago)

Dan, we had a wooden boat too, but it was a little bigger & heavier and not all nicely restored. At the time we were still too young for the painting & scraping and re-puttying, and having to worry about whether it would sink on the first trip out every summer because we didn't have a slip to keep it in so it stayed swelled up, so the burden was, helpfully, all on my dad.

― Laurel, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 21:06 (nineteen years ago)

THEN I HOPE TO GOD IT IS CLOSED BECAUSE I HATE THAT GODDAMN PLACE.

but it is handy having a bar right next to the park, even if i do have to pay $5 for a beer i could get for $3 at any other bar in the city.

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 21:07 (nineteen years ago)

this is a sign that the party should be held elsewhere

― La Lechera, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 21:09 (nineteen years ago)

i mean p*rt*

― La Lechera, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 21:10 (nineteen years ago)

OK.

We'll handle this off-board.

― Jesse, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 21:10 (nineteen years ago)

I meant *K.

― Jesse, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 21:10 (nineteen years ago)

I like the patio part of the Pontiac in the summer.

― Eazy, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 21:13 (nineteen years ago)

I like people watching the people at the patio at the Pontiac in the summer. I pass them just about every day then since I live over there.

Jeff, Jenny, Jesse contingent... What are your Sunday brunch plans??

― KitCat, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 21:18 (nineteen years ago)

I've gone out for brunch exactly 1x since moving to Chicago 5 years ago. It was because an out of town friend suggested it. Usually I prefer "breakfast at home." I probably get up earlier than any of you.
:(

(usually around 8:30 at the latest)

The more I think about it I'm starting to feel a little bad about my homebodiness. It's just the way I am, though, so I shouldn't feel bad about it. I guess.

― La Lechera, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 21:20 (nineteen years ago)

In other news, I took photos of my food last night but can't figure out how to get photos off of the camera and onto the rehabilitated computer. Since I know you were all biting your nails in anticipation of my lentil photos.

Don't lie.

― La Lechera, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 21:35 (nineteen years ago)

One of the specials at Lula the other night had lentils that were cooked w/ beets and therefore became bright red and looked like Fruity Pebbles. They were delish.

― dan m, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 21:36 (nineteen years ago)

Srsly, brunch crowds can be tough to deal with in this city, but you can't deny yourself delicious brunchy goodness at places like Victory's Banner or Over Easy or Tweet Let's Eat or Orange or wherever.

― jaymc, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 21:39 (nineteen years ago)

Or Heartland! You live close to Heartland! Go there, buy a NYT, have a nice leisurely breakfast and coffee. Good cornbread.

― jaymc, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 21:40 (nineteen years ago)
