The internet is a wild place. Earlier this week, a young, enterprising New Yorker found a knock-off couch that she thought was worth $8,000. She did what any $5,000 rent paying NYer would do…she “cleaned” it and brought it up to her apartment. At least the cockroaches and rats will now have bed bugs as new roommates.
Millennium Park has a fox problem. First it was the alligator, then it was coyote, now it’s foxes. We’ve got a regular Lincoln Park Zoo going on out there! It’s quite a shock to see fox in Chicago. Usually they just go to Naperville and say it’s Chicago.
Barstool Eddie fucked around and found out. Barstool made it a whopping 2 days without being a national embarrassment. This time, Eddie dropped a Top 10 ranking of Hot Dogs in Chicago and neglected to include the Wiener’s Circle. The fine folks at the Wiener’s Circle aren’t afraid of confrontation or telling it like it is, so when Eddie topped his list with 2 non-Chicago stands, it was on like Donkey Kong. Everyone knows you don’t mess with the Wiener’s Circle or you’ll end up roasted more than their dogs.
ECU player ejected for feeding a hot dog to a teammate. It’s easy to get excited when a teammate crushes a moonshot dinger to put your team ahead. It’s also easier to enjoy a ballgame while eating a delicious hot dog sandwich. Put it all together and you get an ejection. It’s clear that this Ump Show is anti-American and anti-sandwich.
Chicago traffic doing its best LA impersonation. A new study came out recently showing that Chicago traffic is up 6.7%. We thought we were in the clear after the Jane Byrne construction project wrapped but then they hit us with more projects on the Kennedy and Lake Shore Drive. This is precisely what happens when we let government make the important decisions. Speaking of government…
The debt ceiling is about to come crashing down. In what seems to be an annual occurrence, the United States is bumping up against the debt ceiling. I’d say we’re in good hands, but Congress is the other governmental body other than the City Council that manages to fuck things up on a regular basis.
Passengers at O’Hare acting like they are at a Waffle House. After a long flight, I know all I want to do is beat the hell out of someone. Sure enough, that’s what a bunch of Spirit Airlines (I’m guessing) passengers did at O’Hare this week. Definitely out of the ordinary for a Tuesday morning but I can’t say I blame them.
