Chicago: home of the President of the United fucking States

hello my chinny friend

omg i want that wee sneezawee in my home

xp - http://foxforum.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/12/09/ratner_blagojevich/ about how the Feds overreached their authority in 1) wiretapping and 2) investigating. I'll give them credit for sticking to their talking points even though the target of the investigation is a Democrat.

Amanda, you can squeeze that dog in your home if you contribute $50k to his 2016 presidential campaign.

:( i cannot afford that man

"I am attempting something illegal, is that clear? I am committing a felony right now."

Okay, someone do the necessary Photoshop job there.

I sense a theme w/r/t governmental corruption and terrible hair.

This has been a fabulous day.

This is disgraceful. They should declare martial law in Illinois.

I like how they busted him in his pajamas.

Fucking Sun-Times. I used to have a friend who would buy the Sun-Times but read the Tribune.

Pub quiz was kind of hard tonight. Round 2 definitely wasn't a Simpsons-related holiday round. We would have benefited from someone who was raised devout Catholic, knew obscure 80s one hit wonder artists, and who recognized both a former NFL commissioner and the guy who played Lt. Worf on Star Trek TNG (among other tidbits).

i watched four episodes of battlestar galactica just now, only to discover that the LAST ONE is TO BE CONTINUED and i don't have the next disc yet. stupid show. I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS. (don't tell me.)

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

oh man, I wish I'd've checked this thread today, I would liked to have gone to the pub quiz. And I probably would've recognized Michael Dorn/Worf too.

Next time! Tuesday nights.

Guys btw here is the Trio video I was talking about tonight:

Best part: when he says "Tomas" and looks at the camera.

knew obscure 80s one hit wonder artists

I maybe could have helped there!

Horseshoe, we are rewatching the series and are about in the same place - one episode ahead, and the next one is a DOOZY. Did u you: Hot Dog is Edward James Olmos's son in real life.

and the guy who played Lt. Worf on Star Trek TNG (among other tidbits).

yeah this is the only one i could have helped on.

Hahaha!

I may have been of some use on Catholic info. But, alas, wasn't there. I would like to go to Pub Quiz this month, as I have no Tuesday night rehearsals.

next week's is the last one for the year. i'd be down

dud or extra dud: having to pee while proctoring an exam

Dud! If the stoods can go pee, I think you should be able to go pee!

yeah, just go pee and let them cheat for a few minutes

This is not a happy person:

Taint of Blagojevich would be a good name for a metal band

ahhahaah genuine lolz
how crude

I wonder if Rod's taint has funny hair, too...

tender esl story, coming right up:

last summer i had a student named mohammed who was from iraq. he was an engineer in iraq, but was looking for a job - any job- here in chicago. he was in my class for like 2 weeks, maybe three. during that time, he requested that i help him get a dictionary like the ones we use in class. i said sure. other people said they wanted the dictionaries too, so i ordered a bunch of used ones from various sellers via abeb00ks. the second or third week of class he told me that he got a job at a hotel as "hotelman" and that his schedule would prevent him from attending class and he was very sorry. for weeks these dictionaries poured into my mailbox; it was really irritating and they were really heavy to carry to work.
the guy disappeared and never got his dictionary and i never saw him again.

until today, when i was walking home from the train and i saw him. he was just standing there on the corner talking to a friend in front of the indian/pakistani restaurant. i turned around and made sure it was him. it was. it just so happens that i had ONE dictionary left from the several dozen that i ordered. no one bought that one. so i ran upstairs (across the street) and he waited for me and he finally got his dictionary.

the end.

Yay!

Sweet.

New thread

no

aw

well, ok

aw

no, no, ladies' choice

why?
by all means, the taint of blagojevich it is

I kind of like it. Not the actual taint of Blago. The thread.
