The Beast Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) I don't like it when people take pictures at the Millenium Park Bean. I do like it when people are loud in the stands at USCF. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen all too often. I do love singing the Bears theme song. I hate the wave at sporting events. I love deep dish pizza and chicago style hot dogs. Anything outside of I-88 towards DeKalb is corn and anything south of I-80 is southern Illinois. Bloomington and Peoria f*** up my argument that Chicago is the only major city in IL.

Leonard Zelig Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 As far as saving parking spots goes, you guys do realize that a lot of times people come and clear them for their elderly parents/grandparents/friends/neighbors right?

No they don't. Rockford, Kankakee, and the quad cities don't qualify either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought old people stay inside when it gets really snowy and cold. Are you saying all those saved spots are elderly people trolling about in the snow? I am sure there are some but doubtful it is any significant percentage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, elderly people shouldn't be driving in perfect driving conditions, let alone winter driving conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 The street is in no way your property. Get over it and find a new spot. It's not yours in the first place. Reminds me a lot of someone being childish and saying ''seat save''. Sit somewhere else you god damn cry baby, it won't harm you any.

I agree about the parking spot saving being wrong, but I am a supporter of the shotgun call for the front seat. First one to call shotgun outside gets the front. But I would disagree with putting an item in the front seat to save it as theirs until the next time they rode in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up far enough south in the city to have a garage and driveway, so this wasn't ever an issue to me until I got married and moved into an apartment and had street parking. I had a neighbor who always parked directly in front of his house, unless it snowed. Then he would park in a spot that someone else cleared. The spot in front of his house could be available if he shoveled it out, but he wouldn't do it. This is the type of guy who causes the fights and need for lawn chairs, etc. Not quite on topic, but I was wondering a few days ago how people pronounce "Chicago." I hear Chi-caah-go and Chi-caw-go from different people. I'm a Chi-cah-go guy, myself. Also not a fan of deep dish. I can eat it, but I never even tried it until I was 19 or so. I prefer 16in. That's what she said. And, I'm offended that anyone would care how I prepare my hotdog. Mom made it with ketchup. Good enough for me.

lostfan Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 If you park in a shoveled out spot but you won't shovel your own, technically you didn't do anything wrong, but if you do this you're an asshole and you need to be hit by a bus.

Yoda Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 There’s not much that I miss about Chicago except the proximity of my house to Comiskey (this coming from a guy who was born and raised in the South side of Chicago). I go back there and notice how everyone is in such a hurry to get to places and how there’s really not much privacy in anyone’s lives. I could stick my arm out of my old bedroom and I would literally have it in my neighbor’s side of the bed. You have a family barbecue in the backyard and then out of nowhere the whole neighborhood appears or they would have their own. It was a blast though when you only had to bring out the lawn mower for five minute’s and be able to walk on a sidewalk, and of course the occasional block parties that were held in the summer time.

SouthsideDon48 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) I say "Chi-caw-go" Also, I hate the Chicago Tribune. But I love the Sun-Times. I like deep-dish pizza if it's like Gino's East. The only thing I like on my hotdogs is chili and cheese. I hate "chicago-style" hotdogs, and I hate ketchup, but I sometimes add ketchup anyway. I put mayo and bbq sauce on my hamburgers. I never put ketchup or mustard on my hamburgers.

SoxAce Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) QUOTE (Cali @ Jan 22, 2010 -> 04:00 PM) I don't like Deep Dish, I prefer the thinner crust. I prefer regular softball to 16", it's like playing baseball with a basketball. I like ketchup on my hot dogs, now, and when I lived there I liked it. I have to agree with all this also. Not to mention I talk my Chicago slang (of course "Joe" which means "Yo" is notorious here) not to mention the word Chi-Cah-Go I also say, not to mention you know what was invented here (you know what "Bin Laden" means here for my pot heads. not to mention the "dip spots") I guess I like to say "not to mention" alot in this post too.

Controlled Chaos Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 22, 2010 -> 05:04 PM) I don't acknowledge the whole chair/cone thing with parking spaces cleared of snow. Its a public street, I'm taking the spot if its there. you evil bastard. When I was little my dad and I shoveled out a spot in front of our house. Then we ran to the store to get some more ice for the sidewalks and our neighbor had parked his car in our spot when we got home. Im not talking downtown streets where there is no parking. There was tons of parking when I used to live and everyone had driveways. Well he parked in our clean spot instead of in front of his own house. My dad pushed his car with our car in to the middle of the street and left it there. I agree with people saving their spots 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
