You can name three or four extra taxes nobody else pays. You know the difference between Richard J Daley and Richard M Daley. You can use two or three Daleyisms in context. You can imitate the Mayor's whine. You say Chicaaago. You think going to a Bears game in single digit temperatures with a wind off the lake (and freezing rain) is fun. Da is a proper definite article. You expect corruption in local politics. You go to the Dells in the summer to get away from the other 20 thousand that followed you. You've been caught speeding in Wisconsin because you had Illinois plates. You guard your shoveled parking space with an old chair and unusable broom. You know why they call it "the Windy City."

You know exactly how many cars are "legally" allowed to turn left after the light turns red. You don't know which ethnic "fest" to choose on any given Summer weekend. Your idea of relaxing and getting away from it all is Ravinia (with 10,000 others who have the same idea). You can recite many of "The Blues Brothers" lines and know where they filmed certain scenes. You consider paying someone to watch your car at a sporting event as just another "city tax." The "Living Room" is called the "front room" You don't pronounce the "s" at the end of Illinois.

Francis. Geraci. You would prefer it if New York just kept Macy's You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Chicago.

Man topics like this make me want to be back there so badly, Can-not friggen wait. Moving this year from Florida to an area around Chi-town.

TV is also to blame, we got hundreds of channels now, sports any game any time. Then the impact of the TV to popular culture.. etc. etc... snowball effect

How's arms for tomorrow? I feel I have enough knowledge to do those pretty well tomorrow

Personally - I am very optimistic about our offense.... Maybe I will make a long post as to why sometime soon...

Thornton will be closing by season's end. I bet.

lol - true, but I mean go to the next level, be the finisher, prime, he's going to win it all this year.

Yes, this is very important to me. Good info. Wonderful . Yes - This. It is hard to know these things when I dont really know how to workout everything properly. Awesome Info mate. Honestly, I was/still am really leaning towards purchasing the P90X. Just wanted some opinions on it in terms of my current goals. Just for a small update so far today my day has been: Woek 4 hours, come home and eat : A good amount of Egg whites, 5 Sausage Links, 1 Cup orange juice, Oatmeal. Later on I ran 4.5 Miles (loved running after having an off day, was amazing) then tried blasting my chest. I did a good 65+ pushups )haha good for me:P) along with 6 x 10 reps of lifting, along with 6 x 12 incline 6 x 15 decline, 3 x 10 fly, and just really mashed it up all together and kept going and going. I don't feel the exact sore I want to feel, but at the end of the workout I couldn't do more then 2 pushups, if that. Then after that had a pretty large salad with a turkey sandwich (broccoli, turkey, tomato, bell pepper, croutons, spinach, romaine lettuce)

I kinda agree - but not as far as this statement . I just don't think the ANSWER is Thome. Of course I also don't think the answer is musical chairs with Kotsay/Jones/Randomity. I also don't 100% believe in this rumor, just can't see why the twins would want this with what they have.

Good ole Lance Broadway.... Whew

Good trade for both squads as long as Mets get some money. Since Beltran will be out for some months now - Matthews offers a much needed spot.

On alot of things - I would agree. We get every single news (true, false, little news, big news, bit city news, little town news) at the click of a button now. Things are being manipulated easier, and everything is being seen (once again up to the beholders eyes to see it a certain way). With the overwhelming information available it is very easy to get lost into it. Connect some dots, over-react. So and so is doing this, This country wants this to happen, etc. makes it feel like everything is happening and concerns us ultimately. But - then again, it could be a good thing that so much people are concerned with issues. Maybe we just need to find a certain balance of everything. But yes - I agree there is alot of over-reaction.

And McDonalds Merges with Olive Garden!

What I have been reading here about the P90X seems that it is a very very COMPLETE. It is true that it has these flexibility routines, Yoga routines, All different muscles in your body working out weekly - Is this all true? See, my issue in terms of working out is.. I just don't know. I don't have enough intelligence to get me to that next level. If the P90X offers me a day by day routine which incorporates Flexibility, Yoga, Working out, running, then it may be the best thing for me, for me to simply learn about all of it and see my own limits. So I guess my question becomes: Is the P90X all of this, and if so is it very easy to get started / understand? Thanks for the knowledge Yoda.
