don't jinx things further by doing a "Chicago: home of the motherfucking 2016 Olympics" - it's not in your bag just yet
though i think your only competition there is Rio. if Obama loses though, the chances there don't look good either

Pub quiz was kind of hard tonight. Round 2 definitely wasn't a Simpsons-related holiday round. We would have benefited from someone who was raised devout Catholic, knew obscure 80s one hit wonder artists, and who recognized both a former NFL commissioner and the guy who played Lt. Worf on Star Trek TNG (among other tidbits).

tender esl story, coming right up:
last summer i had a student named mohammed who was from iraq. he was an engineer in iraq, but was looking for a job - any job- here in chicago. he was in my class for like 2 weeks, maybe three. during that time, he requested that i help him get a dictionary like the ones we use in class. i said sure. other people said they wanted the dictionaries too, so i ordered a bunch of used ones from various sellers via abeb00ks. the second or third week of class he told me that he got a job at a hotel as "hotelman" and that his schedule would prevent him from attending class and he was very sorry. for weeks these dictionaries poured into my mailbox; it was really irritating and they were really heavy to carry to work. the guy disappeared and never got his dictionary and i never saw him again.
until today, when i was walking home from the train and i saw him. he was just standing there on the corner talking to a friend in front of the indian/pakistani restaurant. i turned around and made sure it was him. it was. it just so happens that i had ONE dictionary left from the several dozen that i ordered. no one bought that one. so i ran upstairs (across the street) and he waited for me and he finally got his dictionary.
the end.
