Chicago MMXII

Yeah.

Are you near the train? You could go to Little Five Points and look at things.

Heed this MARTA man's advice:

Oh, look. That gif contains multitudes.

I'm not really going to have much free time. I'm just going to enjoy my free fancy hotel room and decent weather.

You know what's great? These things!

Not necessarily that brand, but egg rings in general, and especially the silicone ones.

I eat two eggs at a time. I think the system is failing us.

THEY COME IN TWO PACKS AT OUR LOCAL TJ MAXX!

If I can summon the energy to put on pants, I'm going to go run some errands buy two more while I'm out.

You can't cook an egg w/out a ring? What's the matter with you?

Phatlanta

I forget to whom I made the fairly shameful confession that I'm probably going to wind up buying this product

I can cook an egg without a ring! But it's so much better in a ring, especially since most of my eggs go on English muffins.

We eat a lot of eggs. Eggs are the life fruit.

I cannot poach an egg so the poachers are a little more appealing. Jesse did you know you can make an omelette in a ziplock bag?

xp - no, what? Tell me more.

those aren't egg poachers, they're OUT-OF-SHELL hard boiled egg devices!

The Horrors part of the commercial could be better, but still

Haha peeling all night!

Bookmarked, ty!

Crack no more than two eggs (large or x-large) into each bag and shake to combine.

Like hell.

May could get crazy:

Je55e, is this your old building? http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-city-to-go-to-court-on-lincoln-park-highrise-without-heat-hot-water-20120126,0,6733131.story

That's where I used to live! So glad I'm not there now! That's some shit. The property mgmt company is generally OK AFAICT, but I'd be pissed at them if I still lived there.

EZ, I'm sure this spring in Chicago will be very interesting. And a mess.

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.

one of my former UCP colleagues lives in that building, fb indicates she is not happy with the situation

since i have been known to post pictures of terry gross, what do you think of her new look

Lol are you asking bc she's flipping the bird?

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.

Fuck Adam Scott, now there's a triangle head. (Also, what is that from, Chicago Tonight?)

colbert!

She looks like an old man who looks like an old lesbian.

'Sup.

can someone clone him please

I know, right? (That was totally a LL bat signal.)

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.

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.

R and her mom (and maybe me?) will be going to Aida as well

I <3 Verdi.

i lol every time i read "long duk dan"
seriously

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

also not as funny as duk

totally

richard wright looks like my dad during the 70s in that photo

I <3 Verdi.

Not a sentence I see everyday, anywhere, but one that I fully agree with.

One of my favorite movies of 2011 (7.5 minutes long):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTzm3knkjzg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ofy5gNkKGOo

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.
