+1 - Should be a law against that...

Yep. Out of gas by the playoffs -

Fitz should have been out the door last season... He's an idiot. But worse, who really wants to coach there. High-ish academic standards, limited recruiting base, second rate facilities (although being improved), and now the "union" issue.

This is likely the reason for the lower ranking of Chicago. Most of the south and the specifically the southeast side of Chicago are very, very underserved by infrequent and limited Metra Electric line routes. Public transit is very north-sided (& gentrified) when it should be looking to serve the poorest, not the…

I'm thinking someone is try to post an image of Muhammad.

Completely underrated (also admittedly not genre...) Aaron Sorkin's Sports Night. The dialog was so crisp, funny, heartfelt. Really a great, great show that I still think about.

As a real 60637 Hyde Parker I can say with not so great pride that these percentages really just represent intellectual apathy for both teams which completely suck a..... Being raised a Cubs fan in the far west burbs (Batavia) and having been a HPer for the last 13 years I am slowly seeing the Cell as a much more…

You really should go back to railing against bike lanes, it was much more enjoyable to read (especially since I wasn't wasting my time responding to your idiocy.) Weekday offer (as I'm a daily commuter on the trail you no longer use) will always stand.

My original point. (Again the core argument you've not responded to is that there is a significant increase in the amount of vehicle traffic on the LFT.) You can't logically respond to it because you've specifically stated you haven't used the trail since last summer and are no longer a regular rider on it.

I was giving you the benefit of the doubt because of the Rockford tag, now I know you're just an idiot and an asshole. My main point has always been that vehicular traffic on the LFT is increasing dramatically and is simply damaging. The only counter-argument you've offered is non-relational and are now calling me a…

What I've said now twice is that vehicle traffic & vehicle size has increased significantly on a "path" that was not engineered for it. Now that you have admitted to being a weekend LFT trail "racer" (LOL) I can see the idiocy I'm trying to fight so I'll say it here. "You win" congrats. Let's open the LFT to semi's (&…

McCormick admittedly has some old asphalt behind it when I looked at it this morning, but it also has new sections both in concrete and asphalt that are also much more recent that are under heavy wear that you simply wouldn't get from bikes, rollerblades, etc. On my ride this morning I noted two garbage cans and what…

Motor vehicles are frankly destroying the LFT. I'm a daily commuter through that section and if you look at the asphalt in the streetview of your map you'll see that the trail is very cracked due to the excessive weight of the vehicles that are becoming more numerous on it. (The privatized park maintenance companies…

Your friend is an idiot then. I ride year round on the LFT and its very, very well maintained generally. Troll with facts next time.

My wife (a visual studies professor) said that all the Team USA surprise losses are due to the lack of self-esteem due the horrible Ralph Lauren uniforms they had to wear at the opening. I admittedly like a novelty x-mas sweater as much as the next guy, but completely buff people dressed in those shit outfits that you…

The idea is that Syrio turns into Jaqen then the Alchemist then becomes Pate (a novice at the Citadel/Oldtown)

I bike commute on it daily (albeit mostly on the south end). I've seen coyotes, a snowy owl, numerous hawks, etc., add to this the beauty of the lake in every season, and the gorgeous view of the downtown and it always amazes me. It makes the zero degrees days tolerable, and the 50/60 degree days therapeutic.

I've tried this a few times and I can't...

Euripides is completely right here. You have two open men literally under the basket, feed one of them the ball. Otherwise you're an asshole. (Plus you should always suggest sending Euripides to a cave not to Poseidon.)

This is called "dibs". One of the most idiotic traditions that exists in Chicago (& as a native Chicagoan I can tell you there are plenty).
