Oh lordy, that penultimate comment is *the* absolute best. Congratulations, cwdeed, your bravery in self-identifying as “simple” is an inspiration to us all.

I got the impression that Rahm was trying not to upstage the event by going with the locker-room shirt, unlike that dick Rauner who went full, “C”-emblazoned jersey...

Funny you should say that, I just was laid off from a job in the same block as the W just last month, walked by it daily.

Access to the Eisenhower Expressway, which passes the United Center by just a few blocks. On a clear day, it’s a 15 minutes cruise; on a normal Monday night at 7:30, it’s likely 35 minutes to an hour.

Not the squirrels... never the squirrels.

This video will tell you all you need to know about Mr. Boll...

So much “UGH” for me in this- I love me some Chibi-Robo, but I hate platformers (I just have always sucked at them). I *will*, however, have this Amiibo.

It may be the best jingle from a marketing efficacy standpoint, but the fact that it’s shilling for such an awful place puts it squarely in the odious aural invasion category. There are few more obnoxious earworms in the known universe.

I’d imagine that the mark-up for aftermarket S2K parts is substantial (and honesty compels me to admit that I’d LOVE to have one, I adore an open car, and that motor is awesome), and your point about the hit to resale is valid. My first Si I’d done the usual I/H/E, plus a new intake manifold that I’d powder-coated…

Can’t speak to the racing stripes question; the wife would only let me get the shitty pinstripes...

I’m also on #2, but went from an 07 to an 09. I “get” the disdain for the Si in stock form, but as a moddable platform, the 8th-gen Si is one of the best starting points out there...

Did that voice go "A stoooEW-ped man", by any chance? Because I can totally hear it as well!

"the "Pumpopolotan," which sounds like the name of a fairytale antagonist who lives in a potato field and has struggled with gout."

Wow, I don't remember even reading this article, let alone making that comment (sorry, I'm old).

I love the Pretenders, and I love the Kinks. Not a big fan of the way Chrissie treated Ray; I distinctly remember hearing gossipy reports on the radio in 1985 that Ray was first informed that she was hooking up with Kerr by the journos who knocked on his door to ask him his thoughts about it. Still, we're none of…

Back in the 70's, a girl I went to high school with took a job at a local filling station, and on her very first day a fellow asked her to check his oil, She got the dipstick part right, found he was a quart low, and then proceeded to put said quart of oil into his radiator.

Your observation about 'the light' is so true; I've just started working during the day again, after 14 years on the night shift. When I go out for a smoke, I've gotten asked for a light on several occasions. Male of female, I'll always 'do' the light, and most people do indeed act like I'm distorting the very…

Ooh, speaking of art, I have a rare Andy Warhol poster that I got when I worked at Mercedes Benz in the early 90's, which- co-incidentally- depicts his rendering of a gull wing 300 SL. I just have no idea how or where to divest myself of it for maximum profit.

"Broom broom, I'm in me ownah's cah..."
