I know WGN for one thing, and that thing is Bozo the Clown.

Some people sold their tickets to Cubs fans for the equivalent of a year's salary. That could be good or bad, depending on how you look at it.

Hang out there for an hour or two, then go home and watch the rest of it on a video feed.

Our mantra is "Cleveland Against The World" because even in situations like this year's NBA finals, where we had a Cubs-like curse to overcome and the big-market opponent had lost some luster, we're still not the good guys.

Rapper's Delight is awesome, and so is the Chic song underneath it.

Good! It felt that way at times though.

It's only stinky during a south wind. And that's the smell of smelting, so it invigorates us.

Skip Bayless is the King Of All Trolls and cannot be shut up. He can't even be avoided. During the game last night it goes to commercial and there's Skip Bayless, promoting his new Fox show, talking shit about LeBron again.

Ha! There was never any "massive public support." People outside Cleveland were mad the Cavs won because Curry is cuter than LeBron.

Remember when Warren Oates got his own personal troll named War On Oates? That was years ago and it seemed pretty isolated then. Now people are dicks all the time. I blame Trump for that.

Supposedly the name was meant to honor a Native American player, Louis Sockalexis.

Hillary doesn't need Ohio to win. Trump does.

No one expected the Indians to do so well, with so many key players out. It was a little like the Cavs first run against the Warriors. LeBron tried to do it all himself and almost got there. Imagine if the Indians had been able to use Brantley, Carrasco and Salazar this postseason.

I saw an episode of BBT. It revolved around the one guy's mom being soooo fat, too fat to appear on screen. She spends the whole episode nagging him from a prone position. Fans tell me this is a running gag.

It's notable that among animals, vegetarians tend to have less intelligence than carnivores.

Well of course. It's right there, glistening and beckoning.

Tuck Everlasting stood out, in a year when our assigned reading was all about death. It was alone in offering a different look at it. I also appreciated the fantasy element, since everything else we read was mundane and grim.

I thought all hell would break loose after the Cavs won, and then at the Trump convention, but nothing happened. This is a pretty laid back town.

Pretty much yes. Like the prodigal son. Quotes from his "return" letter still get a lot of play here.
