Sounds yummy. Tell us how it turns out.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 23, 2010 -> 10:31 AM) why do you need ice for the sidewalk. Yeah, I'd figure you's go buy salt to melt away the ice, but maybe you did things differently in your neighborhood. Always enjoyed good deep dish and stuffed pizza in Chicago, but that in no way implies that it can touch good Chicago thin crust — easily the Chi-caahh-go food I miss the most. Growing up I never even knew there was any kind of softball other than 16", so I definitely have a soft place in my heart for 16". Not those rock-hard Clinchers with the zigzag stitching, mind you, those other ones (Top Notch??) that get soft and mushy after a few games. Ciacago-style Vienna Beef hotdogs are a culinary high water mark of Western Civilization and ketchup doesn't belong anywhere near a hotdog if you are more than 8 years old. I don't particularly care what the unwashed masses put on their hotdogs — it's enough for me that I know better.

Yeah, Lorre was great in the Mr. Moto role — that's probably where I first saw him as a kid. I've only seen maybe three of the seven or eight Moto films, way back on Saturday/Sunday WGN matinees, but they were fun in the same way the Charlie Chan films were. Amazing to think they cranked out all those Lorre Moto films in less than three years. M, Casablanca, and Maltese Falcon are probably the three Lorre roles that immediately come to mind when I think of my favorites, but he was great in Arsenic and Old Lace, Three Strangers, and others too.

Porky's BBQ and. . . Hamm's?

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jan 21, 2010 -> 01:47 AM) I had a Blue Hawaiian the other day instead of my traditional Long Island, and I quite enjoyed it. ^^^ Elvis' favorite cocktail — at least among drinks not involving some form of bacon. Simple to make and gives you an excuse to use up that bottle of blue curacao.

Jim refuses to play this game. Ach, I've been duped!

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jan 18, 2010 -> 06:52 PM) Yes, happened early in the year, it was decided right off the bat. lol. If only we could have pulled off an "alphabetical about my penis" thread. . . it would have brought the Internet to it's knees.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 18, 2010 -> 02:03 AM) How come you do everything naked except corn hole? Because a game already called cornhole can't be made to sound more perverted than it already does.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 17, 2010 -> 11:08 PM) ummmmm dollhouse? Not even close. Echo and the other Actives being programed with various abilities and hired out for various engagements is more of a twist on the Pretender premise than it is a take on a Scooby Gang or Mulder and Sculley solving weekly capers thing. Maybe right now Fringe is supposed to fit that mold, but I haven't seen it yet so I don't know how it compares to something Joss could pull off. I don't ever mind Eliza Dushku though, so it's a bit of a shame at any rate if Dollhouse really is getting the axe as it sounds like it is.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 16, 2010 -> 08:00 PM) A Whedon-made Buffy film would be great. Yep, and we already know that is exactly what is not happening. I'd actually like to see Whedon do something along the lines of an X-Files type spooky anthology series. He could keep all the creepy atmospheric elements and all the humor of Buffy/Angel, but he could start fresh on a core group of new Scoobies for a new show.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jan 17, 2010 -> 10:46 AM) I don't know if this place is still there. They've revamped that area quite a bit. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&...&iwloc=addr (click little street level icon) And the construction has long since been completed. Still there!

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jan 17, 2010 -> 10:40 AM) Last week I was amazed at how different the area between Kohls on LaGrange and Target has changed. I live so close to Orland, yet I've haven't been around recently since I always go to Chicago Ridge Mall if I need anything. I'll have to try out these burger joints. Personally, I like Burger King's hamburgers. Rosie's off 103rd and Cicero has good burgers, as well. Really, everything there is great. Do they still make a good gyro?

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jan 17, 2010 -> 08:55 AM) Top Notch burger on 95th off of Western is the best burger you will ever eat by far. ^^^ I could walk there from the house I grew up in — and pretty much did so whenever I had enough money for a burger and a milkshake.

Flew to close to the sun on wings of pastrami" jerrys response "yeah thats what you did" One of my favorites for sure. "I find the pastrami to be the most sensual of all the salted cured meats."

QUOTE (The Critic @ Jan 15, 2010 -> 08:13 AM) This is the only Green Lantern in my opinion. I reject all phony Green Lanterns. That Gil Kane nose-to-mouth trench is technically know as the philtrum or infranasal depression, by the way. Take that Alex Trebek.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 15, 2010 -> 07:30 AM) I was actually referring to this little remark on "Thomas Kamaku"s wiki : I never read that, but it makes sense. Its why I dont think they would call him that in the movie, although I bet a reference would be there somewhere. BTW, a real version of the new Clash of the Titans trailer is out now on Apple and Yahoo movies. The Kraken looks badass, as does Medusa and the Harpies and the Scorpions. ok, I admit it, the new Titans flick looks like it might be ok.
