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!

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.

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.
― Jeff, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 20:44 (twelve years ago) link
This year, we all already lost.

i'm vaguely rooting for the patriots because:it was v. v. entertaining when they demolished the tebow broncosrob gronkowski is pretty fun to watchbelichek's coldness and ruthlessness are appealing in a movie villain styleandi pretty much always root against NY sports teams
but yeah i don't really care that much about either team
― congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 20:51 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― jaymc, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 20:54 (twelve years ago) link
I would root for the giants if I had to because I'm still bitter about the patriots / Carolina Super Bowl results.
― Jeff, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 20:57 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― cue "White Rabbit" (kenan), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 20:58 (twelve years ago) link
being from connecticut, this sb could be very interestingbecause 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

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.

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.

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??
― garbage corn fan (Je55e), Thursday, 2 February 2012 13:54 (twelve years ago) link
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!

Amanda, did you see the thread about life coaches/Landmark-esque culty self-help programs? I believe that is right up your bailiwick.
― gonna give her the old fuquay-varina (Jenny), Thursday, 2 February 2012 14:47 (twelve years ago) link
NO! I love that shit.
― La Lechera, Thursday, 2 February 2012 14:48 (twelve years ago) link
I have something to tell you too, but I can't say it in public -- will email u!
I want to see CAVE and even better for free, but I'm honestly not feeling a show that doesn't start until after 10:00 PM and has at least one opening band.
