Hmm. The douchebee gay-right-winger (Palin groupie) property manager seems to have deleted his FB profile? I unblocked him, but now I can't even find him on a search when I'm logged out.
I was hoping to see his opinions on the City's intervention. He despises "our Democrat overlords," as he called them when IL passed a law making landlords change or re-key locks between tenants.

"This isn't Elizabethan England," said Fr@ncisco Ben@vid3s, 32. "There is no way I'm going to heat up water and take it to the tub."
I LOLed.
Also this: "According to the city Buildings Department, the building is among many built before 1975 that is not in compliance with updated fire safety codes and has yet to submit a fire safety plan that lays out how it plans to comply" is really scary. That recent fire in the apartment building on LSD in which the woman was killed in the elevator didn't have sprinklers and was pretty much a giant death trap.

The manager of that property is kind of gruff, so I'm not surprised that in the (raw) video, the reporter who was not being let into the building said "these people are hostile when they come out." She's not the best public face for them. But you know, just like a strident lesbian.

She probably goes to anti-abortion rallies.

Amanda as I was perusing old ChILX threads yesterday I found a series of posts of you soothing me by pretending to be Terri Gross.

So you know how I was bragging about my iced coffee yesterday? I went to bed at midnight and didn't fall asleep until about 3. And I had to get up at 6:30. Karma.

Hey, Chicago Opera Theater is running a 50% off 2012 subscription sale so if you want to go see all three operas in their season this year (Moscow, Cheryomushki; Teseo; and The Magic Flute) you can do so for as low as $72 total.
― gonna give her the old fuquay-varina (Jenny), Thursday, 26 January 2012 19:37 (twelve years ago) link
I got the Wednesday night subscriber package. Also! A fellow board member works for the L. Opera and free tickets is one of her perks and she hates opera (lol) so she's giving me freebies to Aida in March.
I am definitely making up for not seeing any opera in 2011.

thx, it is one of my better display names
I'll admit to briefly considering making it "long dong dan" but I figured that'd be in too bad of taste

It was inevitable...Does anyone else hate these people as much as I do? Is it even worth talking about how dumb this one is? Not to mention racist and homophobic!

I'm impressed by how consistently unfunny those videos (apart from the original) are

I *just* watched it right before you posted it. And yeah, pretty dumb.

I also didn't understand 90% of what the woman was referencing during that quick-cut sequence near the end.
― jaymc, Friday, 27 January 2012 15:05 (twelve years ago) link
ALSO I hate when things like "Hold on, there's a train" are construed (in this video and IRL) as "LOL Chicago!!!" when they're true for any city with a subway/rail system.
― jaymc, Friday, 27 January 2012 15:07 (twelve years ago) link
right, as if asking "how much is your rent" is sooooo chicago. and john, i think she's listing 4 AM bars, which devolves into just a list of random things. but seriously, fuck these people. please move back to osh kosh.

hey, do you guys have any thoughts on what cell phone carrier might get the best voice/data coverage around here? I guess we're actually choosing between at&t and sprint because sara wants an iphone and I don't want to stick with verizon...I have no ability to choose between these two carriers, thus my asking here
― I chipped a tooth on the buttbone (askance johnson), Friday, 27 January 2012 15:36 (twelve years ago) link
I've had Sprint with my dumbphone and it's been fine.
― do you not like slouching? (Eazy), Friday, 27 January 2012 15:43 (twelve years ago) link
Depends where you are though, when I used to have Sprint and lived in Bucktown I couldn't get a signal at all in my apartment. But I'm sure the service has improved since then.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Friday, 27 January 2012 15:44 (twelve years ago) link
I have AT&T and I have constant frustration with slow/no data. If I'm not mistaken, the iPhone 5 is going to be on their new 4G LTE network, so maybe that's worth waiting for.
― Je55e, Friday, 27 January 2012 15:57 (twelve years ago) link
That Shit Chicagoans Say video is just terrible. A FB friend posted it last with the comment So much of this I say!! Some people Liked it, and one of his friends said Denn!5 McDullardhead I am overwhelmed by how much I can identify with the things said in this video! ; )13 hours ago · Like · 1
― Je55e, Friday, 27 January 2012 15:59 (twelve years ago) link
Hmmm...well I'm probably going to get a 4G phone now, and I think sara's going to get like the iphone 3 or 4 to save money so who knows
maybe it doesn't matter and I should just flip a coin
xp
― I chipped a tooth on the buttbone (askance johnson), Friday, 27 January 2012 16:01 (twelve years ago) link
I think this is the key. I've had U.S. Cellular, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon over the past 10 yeas and I've had pretty much equal overall service.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Friday, 27 January 2012 16:11 (twelve years ago) link
maybe we should just go with at&t then, that's what sara has now and she's okay with it, but she only has a dumbphone at the moment. and at&t gets like the worst ratings ever in consumer reports, which scares me.
― I chipped a tooth on the buttbone (askance johnson), Friday, 27 January 2012 16:15 (twelve years ago) link
I'm sure this is all very interesting to all of you.

Yeah, I am lukewarm on AT&T but Jeff sent me something recently wherein somebody compared data speed and connectivity among Chicago carriers and AT&T was the clear winner. So p much they all suck and you should go w/ the cheapest or one w/ best customer service.
― gonna give her the old fuquay-varina (Jenny), Friday, 27 January 2012 16:17 (twelve years ago) link
I would be very surprised if the next iPhone is a 4G phone.

The 3G coverage in Hong Kong was amazing. It was like a broadband connection that always worked. That needs to happen here.

n/a is on his way to go hang out in my old 'hood in ATL and I am having a strange combo of envy and nostalgia, which is weird bc I was objectively miserable for most of my time there and I have never really wanted to go back.

LOL based on how slow the MARTA trains are and the walk Im only going to have like 45 minutes to hang out. My goal is a good lunch. Maybe a burrito.

Where's a good burrito place in the loop that might actually have seating available at lunch? We've got a big client in the office and we've been instructed not to eat at our desks so bringing food back is not an option. I'm really craving a good burrito today.
