Chicago: They paved a fetid swamp/and put up a parking lot

in what world did eazy not post that

oh wait he did
on the i gotta feeling thread

for the record, "eazy, jaymc, and 'dave' go to a frat party" is one of my favorite chilx defining moments, right up there with butter rolls.

I don't remember butter rolls. What as that about?

It was a choreographed routine to R. Kelly's "Sex in the Kitchen," first performed by Kelsey and friends at Squeezed (the variety show I hosted) and reprised by a CHILX crew somewhere on Foster Avenue after a karaoke sesh.

i was thinking about that recently because i was wishing we had a venue for doing something similar to that pitbull song everyone loves

fortunately, puttin on the hitz is no longer a tv show

Ah, thanks. I wasn't familiar with that episode.

They're digging up gas lines outside of my work and the office has been shaking for 2 days now. It's often low grade rumbling - disturbing b/c it's barely there - and sometimes fixture-shuddering thuds.

i think maybe jaymc got it backwards, in my mind the squeezed performance (which included sarah as a dancer) was the culmination of the "sex in the kitchen" obsession; the foster ave. performance was before that.

yeah, i think so too
the squeezed thing happened because the dance was SO powerful, SO moving, that it just had to be shared.

the POWER of DANCE

i also remember chickening out at the last minute, so know that the irony is not lost on me

I bet the cute photos from that are still on Friendster.

I'm so glad to have had that frat experience at the U of C.

hey speaking of Kelsey I could have sworn I saw her at a dog park in Minneapolis the weekend before last, but I wasn't quite prepared to start talking at someone who looked like someone I only met once... I don't even know if she has a dog

she does have a dog!

'spose it could have been, then

it was an awesome dog park, btw... huge wooded off-leash area right on the shore of the Mississippi, unbridled canine happiness

That timeline is entirely possible.

With the butter rolls, I mean.

trending on twitter :(

AMBER ALERT - 3-year-old Kienan Hebert of Sparwood is missing. He could be with 46-year-old Randall Hopley who is driving a brown Toyota.

reposted because it's kind of lol but mostly sad

i'm going up to grayslake for work today, almost up in wisconsin.

Ha. Wow.

Guys, my Thanksgiving is going to be annoying. We have a big, stinky trial starting on the Monday after TG, and the attorneys have canceled their travel plans. No one has said anything to me yet, but I bet I will be here on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Which is fine, actually. I don't like the holidays and that would be lots of overtime.

xp - That sounds fun, but I guess you won't be at the lake, right?

party by jesse's saturday

http://www.section8chicago.com/images/fbfiles/images/BxLfR.jpg

$3 Malort!

Overpriced. I've never paid for Malort.

I can guarantee if you go to that party you won't pay there either. The $3 is just for show.

Aaaaahhadfh!! (re Malort)

I read that as "party by jesse's birthday."

The Galway Bay has seen better days. One of the windows has been smashed and boarded up for weeks, maybe months, and the neon is looking spotty. Such a sad bar compared to its sister.

OK, fine, I'll go, you twisted my arm and then you punched me in the kidneys.

I feel really weird and agitated. I wish I had some chloroform.

Hey, there's a corn-maze Groupon today.

Which corn maze?

Harvard corn maze, four acres, some kind of 9/11 tribute theme (which sounds like a Groupon joke but isn't).

Would be funny (in a Groupon way) if they tied all of today's nail salon et al deals back to 9/11.

Well, I guess that's one way to honor the day.

I do love a good corn maze, though.

Contemplating making that corn maze picture my Facebook photo...

I dont understand them. Always quicker to just burn down the corn field.

wtf there is no end to that maze, what a great metaphor

i don't really like the concept mazes; give me an old fashioned maze without a theme, pls
i like that they let dogs go in the corn maze though

How awesome would a Children of the Corn Maze be, though?

getting lost in isaac's hat would be pretty awesome
there could be a part in one of the corners where OUTLANDER is spelled out and traps you at the end

Then the owners of the pumpkin farm sacrifice you to He Who Walks Behind the Rows to ensure a bountiful pumpkin harvest next fall.

It's the circle of life and it is beautiful.

You know how I feel about harvest festival rituals...

(highly recommend the book too)

that's a very flattering picture of malachai

I know! I actually had some Rupert Grint-esque thoughts for a second there.

that farmer-with-suspenders and long hair look is agl in general
he has pretty hair too

The Children of the Corn society started in a maze with no end.

EZ, the would be pretty funny. Someone write an example of the copy (I would try but I'm too lazy right now).

This is making me really sad!

Damn, who knew that a Mercury Grand Marquis had that kind of power. It took out a phone pole, two exterior walls, and an interior wall. Jeez.

I know! Also, how much would it suck to come from the hospital where your roommate died from injuries sustained in the king of freak accidents only to be arrested because the old lady exposed your drug dealing endeavors when she drove a car through your house. I mean god!

I've had two beers after not drinking for a couple of weeks and I'm tipsy! In a really sappy way! Like, I want to hug the internet!

Aww. You should. Be careful not to get electrocuted.

You know, I wonder why it was necessary to "look for other victims" in a locked bathroom?

I am batman.
