Chicago: customers are advised to allow extra travel time

I think if my grandmother went to boystown, she would start screaming about how everything was "dark-sided" just before she dropped stone dead

Guys--I have the whole day off (thought I was working tonight but I was wrong). What should I do??

read gay thread, have internet wanks

not because of shirtless men making out! I have a pavlovian hateful reaction to the mention of it because I used to live in boystown and there were festivals every 1.5 days during the summer and I couldn't walk down the street without it taking half an hour and I couldn't drive my car anywhere and I am an old lady grouch.

It IS a family plan. Isn't that kind of mad expensive?

Go to a park, Jesse.

I wish it came out better, but I felt the urge to take a picture of my burger.

I think I'm going to have fun the Jesse Way.

Pay some bills (when I have the money to pay my bills, I honestly enjoy doing it)
Go to gym
Drop of laundry (yay for cheap wash and fold!!)
Think about cleaning the house
Maybe hang out with Courtney and her parents.

Go work on your abs

sarah, my cell bill is about $80 a month, and I barely even pick up the phone. They screw ya, they do.

I should take a picture of my abs, so that when I'm 60 (or 28, we'll see) I can look back and remember that I was in shape for a minute there. I won't post it on the internet, though.

our family plan is about $90 or so . . . $137 seems high. was there a lot of texting and/or ringtone buying?

Why the fuck won't people post their chests on the net???

been there, done that, got called a gay by kenan

I don't know, it seems so myspace.

Yesterday I hung out with my friends She|la and 3ddie. We got drunk and hit 3 bars on Clark Street. We wound up at @tmosphere (not a google-proofing--that's how it is actually spelled) and Sheila became angry and they argued for about 15 minutes, then she stormed out and took the car so Eddie and I sat around and then had to walk home.

OH, what I was originally gonna tell you--I had a bad experience at Simon's. The bartender was a jerk and a half. He criticized our order of PBR, then I ordered a DeKonech (sp?) later and changed my mind to one of the new New Belgium brewery beers. I asked what each one was like, and he said, "Well, first you ordered a REAL Belgian beer, then you changed your mind to some bullshit from Colorado. I won't taste them--they came out with that Fat Tire shit and I took one sip and threw it out and I don't drink their shit anymore, so I can't help you."

I was going to say "it seems so high school".

i never said you were gay. I said you are pretty.

Pretty gay.

lol

Argh. It was another $40ish fee for paying late and having the service suspended temporarily. I talked them out of this most recent one.

Fat tire is horrible.

oh yeah they will nail you hard for paying late

frustrating!!

also, i don't mind fat tire.

I don't think it's horrible. It is over hyped, which is what I think you're really saying.

Horrible, in that I really hate the taste of it. I'd rather drink natural light.

Fat Tire has a distinctive taste -- which isn't bad at all, I'm just not sure I care for it. It's kind of malty or something.

it is over-hyped for sure. I feel like it took over mpls in two days.

I was disappointed, though, that 1554 just tastes like a darker version of Fat Tire.

i think i like cloudy beers. i like spotted cow & then i had this australian beer i've never had before & it was cloudy & good.

There is no Fat Tire around here.

Beer companies need to make more good pilseners. This who-can-add-the-most-hops IPA business is OK but getting a lil old.

xpost: Was that Cooper's?

I think they're rolling it out gradually. Until recently, all you could get in Chicago was the 22 oz. Fat Tires, then you started to be able to get Fat Tire in 12 oz. bottles, and now it seems like other New Belgium beers are available as well.

Fat Tire is fucking awful. I've never liked the tast of it.

I drink mostly IPA's these days. Dogfish Head 60-min IPA is wonderful.

I like Fat Tire, but my beer of choice lately has been that HEFFER WEISSEN stuff (sp?).

Kelsey, you use ampersands more than anyone else I know.

It's a sickness, I know.

Dan - I believe it was Cooper's! It was very mild but good.

Jeff - I am so so glad you drink Dogfish. I love their beers.

Hefeweizen

I loooooooove IPAs

The bartender had no business being a pompous dick about what we were ordering.

I played Girl Talk on the Juke Box and he had something to say about that too. But not to me. He talked to another patron, saying that he didn't even know what this shit was, but he hated it and it was just bullshit 80s music mixed with rap. He saw me go to the jukebox and he said it loudly. What a dick.

Cooper's is made in the city I lived in in Australia! I remember my parents praising it.

Dogfish is v good.

I want a US micro to make an eastern euro green bottle style lager.

My favorite beer for 2007 has been Two Brothers Cane and Ebel.

I don't think I've been drinking near enough beer this summer.

who is this bartender? That doesn't sound like Simon's.

xp I think I've been picking up your slack.

Cane and Ebel - A Hopped-Up Red Rye Ale. Cane and Ebel is one of a series of special limited-run beers in styles that are more extreme or unusual. This one's dry with a creamy touch of Thai palm sugar and the spicy tang of rye. All this flavor is balanced by loads of the wackiest new hops we could lay our hands on. Serious.

I can't remember his name. The thing is, I know him.

He's the one who looked up the recipe for a sidecar for Jeff, and then said, "Hmmm. I think I'll use gin." WTF.

well, obviously we're going to have to kill him.

what city did you live in, dan? i was in "the gong" for a small time & my bro was there for a couple of years.

i agree w kenan that evil dude does not sound like simon's. sounds like he's fucking up their jam, actually.

dan m let's go into the beer business

what's in a sidecar? brandy or something?
