flannj

I'm guessing Amy must be on vacation.

I've been riding the Chicago & Northwestern line (now the Union Pacific) to work for more than 30 years and have yet to see the inside of one of the engines / cabs. I would love to have the opportunity to get a tour while underway. A pretty impressive piece of machinery. With the cost of gas we get a lot of rookies riding now.

I ride one of these to work (I get to sleep on the way in and nobody dares to cut us off in traffic)...

Bob is too nice, but I won't rant either. But I find it mind boggling that this software can't support such a significant user platform. - Jim

Can't... choose... just... one. English Beat Talking Heads SRV John Lee Hooker Zappa Floyd But if I have to... Los Lobos

XXL for me

Coytee, the only recipes I have for lemonade contain vodka. - Jim

Giordano's or Lou Malnati's Top Notch. For pan? Lou Malnati's is my choice if I have to go with a chain, which I'd prefer not to do. Gulliver's on Howard for pan is my choice. Good choice Kev, I lived in Rogers Park years ago and Gulliver's was a frequent stop along with The Heartland Cafe. But probably a bit far north for a one day visit to Chicago. For thin my favorite would be Pizza D.O.C. on Lawrence just north of Lincoln Square.

Because Dusty is an unaccountable, excuse making, non player developing, pitcher abusing, moron that couldn't make out a line up card if you tattooed it across his forehead in mirror writing. When he left San Francisco the fans there said "you'll see" to the fans in Chicago. When he left Chicago the fans here said "you'll see" to the fans in Cincinnati. The fans in Cincinnati are just starting to see now. Corey Patterson? Jerry Hairston Jr.? What's next? Neifi Perez? Sorry OB, you touched a nerve.

I hear that .............. would love to go to a CUBS game at Wrigley Field ...... Fenway Park is always #1 in my heart ... Wrigley #2 !!!!!!! Was there last night and will be there tonight as well. Wrigley in June and the Cubs in first place makes for a happy flannj.

All within walking distance of each other Millennium Park is a must http://www.millenniumpark.org/ Chicago River Boat Architectural Tours are very well liked http://www.chicagoline.com/archcruise/schedule.asp The Art Institute of Chicago is considered one of the finest art museums in the country http://www.artic.edu/aic/index.php All the shopping you could ever want is on Michigan Avenue north of the river. The Cubs and Fire are both out of town on Friday. 78 and chance of rain on Friday.

Indeed... Love those headlights A rather nice pair of wheels as well.

Yes, I do.

These are not my sons, so don't ask. A 7 year old boy and his 4 year old brother were upstairs in their bedroom. The 7 year old was explaining that it was high time that the two of them begin swearing. When his little brother responded enthusiastically, the 7 year old hatched the plan, "When we go downstairs for breakfast this morning, I'll say hell and you say fat a$$.” The 4 year old happily agreed. As the two boys were seating themselves at the breakfast table, their mother walked in and asked her older son what he would like to eat for breakfast. The 7 year old replied, "Ah hell, Mom, I'll just have some Cheerios." "WHACK!" The surprised mother reacted quickly. The boy ran upstairs, bawling and rubbing his behind. With a sterner voice, the mother then turned to the younger son, "And what would YOU like for breakfast?" "I don't know," the 4 year old blubbered. "But you can bet your fat a$$ it's not gonna be Cheerios."

I stole this from Neil Steinberg's column in today's Chicago Sun-Times. A lawyer opened the door of his BMW, when suddenly a car came along and hit the door, ripping it off completely. When the police arrived, the lawyer was complaining bitterly about the damage to his precious BMW. "Officer, look what they've done to my Beemer!" he whined. "You lawyers are so materialistic, you make me sick!" retorted the officer, "You're so worried about your stupid BMW that you didn't even notice that your left arm was ripped off!" "Oh my God," replied the lawyer, finally noticing the bloody left shoulder where his arm once was. "Where's my Rolex!"

Little Johnny's neighbors had a baby. Unfortunately, the baby was born without ears. When mother and new baby came home from the hospital, Johnny's family was invited over to see the baby. Before they left their house, Little Johnny's dad had a talk with him and explained that the baby had no ears. His dad also told him that if he so much as mentioned anything about the baby's missing ears or even said the word ears he would get the spanking of his life when they came back home. Little Johnny told his dad he understood completely. When Little Johnny looked in the crib he said, "What a beautiful baby." The mother said, "Why, thank you, Little Johnny." Little Johnny said, "He has beautiful little feet and beautiful little hands, a cute little nose and really beautiful eyes." "Can he see?" asked Little Johnny. “Yes", the mother replied, "we are so thankful; the Doctor said he will have 20/20 vision." "That's great", said Little Johnny, "cuz he'd be s*** outta luck if he needed glasses."

Thank you I cannot get this stupid forum to format my posts the way I type them - Jim For instance this post should show up as 5 seperate lines, not 1. I have had this problem with Safari before but today I am using IE.

On the anniversary of one of the greatest meltdowns in sports history. I lifted this directly from one of my favorite Baseball blogs, Desipio.com . Do not click on the link if you are even slightly offended by profanity. You have been warned. I'm serious... lots of bad language. Really... I'm not kidding. "Twenty-five years. Its been 25 years since Lee Elia lost his mind in the managers office at Wrigley Field and unleashed one of the most profane, vile, hilarious and entertaining rants of all time. A rant so infamous that when Jay Johnstone published it word-for-word in his autobiography, it got the book banned." http://www.desipio.com/images/media/eliatirade.mp3

Thank you and God bless.

Although these aren't Zone 5 hardy, during the winter they are my favorite tree. I get to visit them on occasion.
