Chicago MMXII

At any time, did any person refer to "Jewels"?

No b/c it was a 20-something college-educated white North Sider's take on Chicago.

xp yes

"let's line up by age"

Wow, Goose Island Stout fest ticket sold out less than a minute after going on sell today. Did not get in.

Huh, I don't think I knew that Soul Train started on Ch. 26 before going into syndication. Don Cornelius plus Svengoolie is quite a legacy.

^ shit Chicagoans say

I'll have you know I remember Rich Koz (aka Svengoolie) from his days hosting the after-school block of kids' programming on Ch. 32 in the early '90s. Also went to high school with his niece, iirc.

i love svengoolie

I love Svengoolie and I think local TV horror hosts are a national treasure, all joking aside.

xp! Yay! Sisters!

In my homeland we have Ghoulardi.

We had Saturday Night Dead and Creature Double Feature but I don't remember the hosts. Elvira, of course, and Joe Bob Briggs but they weren't local.

I wish I had a Svengoolie growing up. Actually, I would rally like to be a TV horror host. I think I'd be good at it.

Oh snap - Saturday Night Dead was hosted by Stella the Maneater from Manayunk.

guessin no one wants to watch the super bowl with me on sunday? (not in a self-pitying way, in a "no one else here really watches football" way). we're going to make nachos and drink beer.

We accidentally scheduled an importan board meeting on Sunday in which we welcome and orient new members. It never even came up in the planning in that we scheduling it for Superbowl Sunday, which is pretty lol.

I have no skin in the game whatsoever anymore. I can't even pick which team I dislike more, much less which one I like more.

I hope they both lose somehow.

This year, we all already lost.

I'm already going to a SB party.

hahaha

"SB party"

SB party tonight!
SB party tonight!
We've got nothing better to do
Than watch the SB and have a couple of brews

i'm vaguely rooting for the patriots because:
it was v. v. entertaining when they demolished the tebow broncos
rob gronkowski is pretty fun to watch
belichek's coldness and ruthlessness are appealing in a movie villain style
and
i pretty much always root against NY sports teams

but yeah i don't really care that much about either team

I rooted for the Patriots vs. the Giants four years ago b/c I wanted them to make NFL HISTORY. But since that's not an issue this time around, I don't care who wins.

I would root for the giants if I had to because I'm still bitter about the patriots / Carolina Super Bowl results.

All I know is, the Saints can eat my butthole for losing so stupidly to the 49ers. That game was like watching a ship sink, with no lifeboats.

being from connecticut, this sb could be very interesting
because it is possible that certain members of my family could kill other members of my family

I guess I will root for the patriots if I have to root for somebody

well thank you at least for indulging me with super bowl talk

The big giant bags of frozen garbage corn.

Yes, Dan is right. I started to post in the TJ about the big giant bags of frozen but then I got bored and when I was walking the dog I must have hit post when I put my phone in my pocket.

god damn this new bookmarking

Opening phrase of Je55e's erotic short fiction for the big benefit.

Alert: Brown and Purple Line delays bc of an "unauthorized person" on the tracks at… Paulina?

Jeff just said there are Red Line delays, too. :|

I was just noticing a clot of people hailing cabs at Halsted and Diversey, maybe related.

Red/Brown/Purple Line Express trains are operating with residual delays, after earlier police activity at Fullerton.

Definitely.

Bus driver says Move back make room!

Passengers squeeze by befuddled, put-upon looking girl. Mouth gawping like a fish, eyes wide and darting over the back of the bus, she wonders, What could be back there that lures the others??

She blocks the path of a passenger trying alight. Excuse me. Excuse me! Excuse me could you please move I'm trying to get off the bus!

Girl's face crumples and she croaks Omigahd!

I got a seat on the purple line. Whatever happened worked out well for me.
