I love Chicago and will STFH.

"Normcore" is the worst.

A bunch of years ago, I received a few emails from a girl (not that it matters, really, but I'm a guy). We emailed back and forth, tried to set up a meet but it didn't work. About six months later, I hear from her again and she's stuck in Africa and can't get out. She needed something like $760 to buy a plane ticket…

It's not all bad for HBO since it's demonstrating an incredible demand for its shows that may get other people interested.

I don't see "your dignity" listed anywhere on there.

This is why I can't wait for the self-driving cars. I don't want to be near either one of these drivers.

I'm a guy and don't blame you for not wanting to sit next to us. Then again, I don't want to sit next to anyone on a flight. I once had a mom reading passages out of her book to me while her teenage daughter was rolling her eyes and begging her mom to stop. She did not stop.

Haha, yeah. Only ours are attached to the walls by the sinks, so it may be worse.

You're fighting a weird battle that you won't win. We're not going to stop calling it pizza here in Chicago, so just deal with it.

No. It is not more like quiche.

It is nothing like a lasagna. All the NY Lasagna enthusiasts with inferiority complexes would be throwing an even bigger fit if this was called lasagna.

"I've never slept in Satan's bed," Eddie Vedder used to sing. Well, he's probably sleeping there now that he's dead.

Not if I'm trying to write the worst lede.

"I'm still alive," Eddie Vedder once sung. And so he is.

I love it. Although my friends and I call it zapping each other instead of texting, and then I accidentally say that out loud in public and people look at me like I'm crazy. Eh, it's worth it!

Group Chats are awesome, at least in What's App (at least until Facebook ruins it). You can easily turn off notifications or leave the group, and you are the one who decides to join a group. Group texting is awful.

I'm sorry I needed to go into further detail as to why naked guys hanging out in a small locker room was weird to me. My bad.

If you walk into a locker room expecting to see a guy blow-drying his balls, you're the weird one.

The age group dynamic is actually messed up here. In other gyms it has just been the old guys. Here, it probably goes from 25 on up. It's mostly guys in their 40s or 50s, though.
