Not much!

When it comes right down to it, I have to think that one of these teams will come out of this next game needing to win only one more game of baseball.

I mean, they would really be for mah wiiiife, but will have to wait until a new job is acquired. Anyone need a tech support/client support manager?

I hate to ask, but why should social media be "fun" these days? I'd rather not be a scold who says "you're discussing cinema while the country is ending", but honestly, people talking about Wong Kar Wai feels inessential when landscapers are being kidnapped off the street a mile from me.

I was unaware, and am sad that the Etsy prices I'm seeing makes these unreasonable gifts for my cats Jack and Lennie.

I mean, the sweet release of death via semi-intentional axphyxiation would probably reduce many other symptoms.

Not if Stroud is going to be on his ass every time he drops back.

I cannot believe that I'm 3rd in points and winning my first game tonight. Sigh.

I ran into someone still collecting signatures to get someone ELSE on the ballot, and I'm sure the guy knew it was totally hopeless. Hope he's getting paid, because Peter someone is going to come in like, ninth at best.

Well, I guess we did kind of ask huh.

With the state of Google today? My kingdom for search a la 2014 or whenever it was last good.

Although perhaps the better term there is roman ร  clef.

Do I look like I have time to write a somewhat lightly obscured "certainly not based on a true story, why would you even ask?" novel over here?

The Graziano's on Touhy in Niles (unsure if related or not) closed and is now a dispensary.

I am totally at a loss as to the why here. "If we deny back pay to the remaining federal employees, they'll quit out of spite"?

It just creates thousands of "and they wouldn't even give my brother-in-law back pay after the shutdown" anecdotes. It's even stupider than what they usually do!

I mean, I presume that there's a contingent that wouldn't trust such an audit (performed by...er...what beyond-reproach service operates in that space exactly?) either. In the meantime...

How exactly would you prove such a thing?

I just Bing-ed "Chicago Deep Dish Pizza Frozen" and I can only relay what my close personal friend the internet tells me. Now me, I'd just drive about 3 miles to the one in Morton Grove and house (part of) one o them bad boys, but for the geographically challenged...

Honestly, tavern cut is ideal for thin crust, whether it be from Chicago or Milwaukee (but you can miss me with that St. Louis garbage).

You know, Lou Malnati's and Giordanos are both pretty decent examples, and they both ship frozen. However, I just learned that Pequod's does as well! Get that!

I was briefly confused because my brain said "hey isn't that the principal from Ferris Bueller who uh...you know". And no, that is Jeffery JONES.

That's it? I mean no I don't particularly want to, but as a job, fine. I mean the criteria say I don't have to unreservedly enjoy anything, right?

Another year to just have ctrl-V always at the ready for the next occurrence of "The Blackhawks trail". Nobody wants carpal tunnel.

Will you have a Department of Funky Electric Piano Riffs and are you looking for a Secretary?
