STonk has suggested that I might travel to Chicago next year to take in a couple of Cubs' games - and who knows, maybe even drink a glass of beer or two. I initially resisted, of course, but she twisted my arm and I've finally - reluctantly - agreed to go, as much to keep her happy as anything.
The dates would be somewhere around the 26th/27th May to the 4th/5th June, and would include three games (http://mlb.mlb.com/schedule/index.jsp?c_id=chc&m=6&y=2011) at home against Pissburgh, three against the Asstros, and a couple of games in St. Lou.
So, who's around then for baseball and/or beer? And is there any danger of getting a rooftop game organised during that period, do you reckon?

You know where and how to find me. I'm just going to go ahead and assume we'll be hitting up the same Mexican joint and the same blues club. Maybe even get a bigger group this time?

Harder, better, faster, stronger.
I've stayed away from Chicago the last couple of years because the Cubs have been so awful, they weren't worth the trip.
With the way things are looking next season, a Tonker/*IAN trip will probably be the only reason to go.

Do the toilets at least flush the proper, American way?
I would be in for the festivities as well... I am guessing that rooftop games against Pissburgh might be reasonably priced. Or we could take TDubbs's suggestion and get a private room at a bar and do stupid stuff.

I hope you have a great time while in Chicago, Tonk.
But ... you probably don't need to travel across the Atlantic Ocean to experience that kicked-in-the-nuts feeling that comes from watching some disheartening Cubs defeats. Just sayin'.

STonk has suggested that I might travel to Chicago next year to take in a couple of Cubs' games - and who knows, maybe even drink a glass of beer or two. I initially resisted, of course, but she twisted my arm and I've finally - reluctantly - agreed to go, as much to keep her happy as anything.
The dates would be somewhere around the 26th/27th May to the 4th/5th June, and would include three games (http://mlb.mlb.com/schedule/index.jsp?c_id=chc&m=6&y=2011) at home against Pissburgh, three against the Asstros, and a couple of games in St. Lou.
So, who's around then for baseball and/or beer? And is there any danger of getting a rooftop game organised during that period, do you reckon?
BO. NER. IAN had mentioned doing a trip north around this time.. Double whammy? I'm sure I'd be the only one excited for that.
June 3rd is my birthday. I"m just saying there will probably be a party that none of you will come to, but there will be one
At some point it becomes strange to continue to have a birthday party every year.
For most people, that age is 12.
Considering you have zero friends that would ever show up, and if they did, they'd bring shitty Jew presents, I can see why you wouldn't want an excuse to get drunk on the cheap
Nice comeback.
Worthy of a 12 year old, in fact.

Fork wants to jerk you off. I think you can stay cheaply in the SUBURBS and take some sort of train ride into the city every day. Or you can live in absolute squalor here: http://www.sheffieldhousehotel.com/ and have the added bonus of being my neighbor for a week.

For that length of time, if you're looking for under $100/night, you might want to consider an apartment/condo rental.

I'd just figured that out, actually. The Days Inn will cost me best part of $1200, but this place : http://www.dewittplace.com/ (http://www.dewittplace.com/) will only set me back a smidge over a grand for eight nights. Great location, and pretty good reviews, too. Anybody know anything about it?

Better than the motor lodge on Darwin Barney Lane.
(Never heard of this DeWitt street before, but that location (http://www.dewittplace.com/contactus.asp) is titballs...possibly better for July/August but May/June should be nice...take it at that price if it's in your budget. And be sure to let us come over to trash your room.)

I'd just figured that out, actually. The Days Inn will cost me best part of $1200, but this place : http://www.dewittplace.com/ (http://www.dewittplace.com/) will only set me back a smidge over a grand for eight nights. Great location, and pretty good reviews, too. Anybody know anything about it?
Apparently, it's in a quite (http://www.dewittplace.com/neighborhood.asp) neighborhood.

Now I need some good ideas for a hotel. Chuck recommended the Days Inn on Diversey last time, and it was great, but at upwards of a hundred bucks a night for the room (and this time I'm on my own), that's going to be getting on for a grand. A grand I could far better spend on beer.

Better than the motor lodge on Darwin Barney Lane.
(Never heard of this DeWitt street before, but that location (http://www.dewittplace.com/contactus.asp) is titballs...possibly better for July/August but May/June should be nice...take it at that price if it's in your budget. And be sure to let us come over to trash your room.)

Right, that's done. I have booked and paid for eight nights (27/05 to 04/06) in a lakeview studio at DeWitt Place, as linked above. It set me back less than $1100 all in, and I can't really argue with that. It has a kitchen and a fridge so I can keep lots of snacks and cold beer in the room for when I can't face going out for breakfast - and more to the point, it has a sofa-bed, for which I am now taking bookings. Yours for the bargain rate of $110/night.
Seriously, if any of you suburban boys thinks they'll need to crash for the night, you'll be very welcome.
A week of Tonks in Streeterville? Water Tower Place will never be the same.

If you want actual interaction, then the rooftop is the way to go. And mass quantities of drinking.

Fork has a point. I imagine that I'll be going to Wrigley for at least a couple of games anyway, so there's absolutely no need for us all to go to the ballpark (or a rooftop) for TONKFEST
TM itself. We can just as easily go to a bar where ordering a frosty one is as easy as lifting your finger, food is good and not, you know... ballparky, and we can avoid the bleachodes. So, I guess my point is, it's entirely up to you guys, and what you'd rather do. I'll be getting plenty of Cubs anyway - too much, even, you might say...
EDIT : It will also be much easier to organise, logistically speaking. And you know me - I hate to cause trouble.

Let's just pick a ginmill somewhere, so if they run us out it doesn't cost anything.
I think a bar is probably our best bet. I'm going to get to a couple of Cubs' games regardless, so I don't need to do it with youse guys necessarily (although anybody who wants to join me at Wrigley during that week will be very, very welcome). The point isn't so much the baseball as having a get-together and getting pished, and sitting in a long row drinking $10 beers isn't really especially conducive to that.
So, Hi-Tops it is.
By the way, is anybody around the first Friday night (27th May)? I'll have flown in that afternoon and might well be a bit (punch) drunk but it would be good to start as I mean to go on. So, beer, anybody?
Also, I need to get from the airport to downtown (about a hundred yards from the Hancock Center) that Friday afternoon. What's the quickest/easiest/cheapest way of doing it?

Flying into O'Hare I'm assuming? Blue Line.
Blue line it to Clark & Lake, and cab it from there. I'm rarely in a cab but I'm guessing 6-8 bucks at most. It's barely a mile and a quarter which, on a Friday afternoon, should only take you about two hours.

Or he can take the Blue Line to Washington, switch to the Red Line and take that to State and Chicago. It's a quick walk from there.

That sounds good - I'd like to avoid going by road if possible, because as Mike says it's Friday afternoon and as such I'd probably be better walking. If I'm understanding the map correctly, though, it seems to me as though it might make sense to go one station further to Monroe, where the Blue and Red appear to be side by side, and then head North. Am I right?

They're not really side-by-side. There's a block-long tunnel separating them.
Granted, that would probably make it easier to not get lost in the Loop like a common Bort. But, either way, it's a walking transfer.

You can make the transfer at Washington as well. The CTA tunnel was replaced by the Block 37 stores, but you just walk through that hallway to get to the Red Line station.

Bit of a trek from Clinton Blue to the Hancock, isn't it? It's got to be getting on for three miles. I walked everywhere last time I was in town, but that might be a smidge too far with luggage. I can always dump the bag at the apartment and come back to Clinton, of course - or meet you somewhere in between. Easier to crawl when you're not weighed down...

That sounds good - I'd like to avoid going by road if possible, because as Mike says it's Friday afternoon and as such I'd probably be better walking. If I'm understanding the map correctly, though, it seems to me as though it might make sense to go one station further to Monroe, where the Blue and Red appear to be side by side, and then head North. Am I right?
If you feel like walking tot he Hancock, let me know. You can exit the blue line at Clinton and I'll walk with you. We can even make it a short pub crawl, depending on how bags you'll have with you.
Bit of a trek from Clinton Blue to the Hancock, isn't it? It's got to be getting on for three miles. I walked everywhere last time I was in town, but that might be a smidge too far with luggage. I can always dump the bag at the apartment and come back to Clinton, of course - or meet you somewhere in between. Easier to crawl when you're not weighed down...
Don't they switch trains on those Eurotubes? Grab a red line, take it up to Chicago Ave & you're a couple blocks away.
Yes. we've established that, Fork. You should probably read Oleg's post again.
That would imply I ever read Oleg's posts.

You should get a blog.
Right, you 'orrible lot, time to get serious about this shit.
I'm in discussions with Mike about tickets for games and all things being equal will probably try to go to Saturday or Sunday, and Tuesday and Wednesday. Are we now decided that we're going to hit up a bar and drink until they throw us out, and if so, when? Saturday? Sunday? Monday? Saturday, Sunday and Monday? I want to make this very clear - as long as there are thirsty Desipiots in need of moral support between the 27th May up to and including the 3rd June, they can count on me at any hour or the day or night.
Also, anybody want to come to any of the games? I know you're going to complain at me for planning things this early, but if I want to get tickets lined up it would be good to know what we're likely to be doing, and when.
I've set up a gmail account, and updated the calendar with what little of my schedule that I already know : tonkfest@googlemail.com. The password is tonkfest1, so you should all be able to see and amend it if you wish. I'll try to keep this updated so that anybody who fancies taking part in the festivities will know, even at short notice, what's going on, and where.
I already have a chub. Even if I never cross paths with a single one of youse guys, and never see a second of baseball, it's eight whole fucking days that are all mine to do with as I wish, and that, gentlemen, is pure gold.

I'll gladly go to a game with you. Just let me know which one. Mike's seats already have the potato smell on them, so they're perfect.
I'm down for a weekend game.
I like cheeseburgers.
Preference for Sunday.
I'm sure I'd be good for at least a few drinks and food at some point during the week. Unfortunately, I can't commit to a game yet...
I would be down for the Monday game. Also, have any extra for the game at St. Louis on Friday?
Between my seats, and the seats that Kerm and Pre have with non-Desipiot Section (sic) 242, and the fact that even though it's a weekend it's Pittsburgh and the face value on the tickets are likely going to be reasonable...we could probably get something going to cover both days as well as in to the week. There was also a Desipiot Brian who has seats in my aisle, but stopped hanging out here after Fork, Slaky and Apex and I threw a golden sombrero on Rick Ankiel so that's probably not an option. Still, I know flannj could score some of his at face, and didn't Pex have a share on games last year too?
I can try to procure as many dates as possible. Tonker's up for 3 maybe 4 or 5 games so as long as interest is there to fill out the rest of the other seats, we can go from there. Get your money orders ready, ogdens.

I'm almost positive that DadPex and I are going to the Saturday game. Party.

I'll start on getting my four for Saturday.
Do I hear Sunday? Monday against the Astros? Tuesday? Wednesday?
It looks like DadPex is looking to take his new lady friend to Chicago and to the Saturday game, so I'm looking for a ticket to that game one way or another. I'll keep people posted if I run into any. And I'm probably game for Sunday and/or Monday as well. Party.

I'm willing to get a money order ready for either Saturday or Sunday.

This seems like a long way from Cheyenne.
Okay, Bort and I are having two of Huey's four for the Wednesday day game against the Asstros. Anybody else fancy that one? I don't know whether Mike will be there with us, but there's at least one and maybe two tickets going - first come, first served. If you're not with us, you're against us.
Also, somebody's clearly been having fun with the gmail account, and fine, I laughed. I'm looking forward to the Musclebear updates. Also, as far as I know, Gil isn't planning to come in for Tonkfest, but having looked at the schedule, perhaps that's just as well.

I'm still working on officially procuring these tickets. Should know by the weekend. I doubt anyone in my group is staking a claim to a midweek day game against the Astros, though. Will keep you posted.

I did, yes, but I'd like to go to a couple games. I don't typically make a point to go to many cubs games during the year so why not go with my favorite European internet friend?

Okay, Bort and I are having two of Huey's four for the Wednesday day game against the Asstros. Anybody else fancy that one? I don't know whether Mike will be there with us, but there's at least one and maybe two tickets going - first come, first served. If you're not with us, you're against us.
Also, somebody's clearly been having fun with the gmail account, and fine, I laughed. I'm looking forward to the Musclebear updates. Also, as far as I know, Gil isn't planning to come in for Tonkfest, but having looked at the schedule, perhaps that's just as well.
Sure, why not. I'm in.
You said Monday, asshole.
I'm still working on officially procuring these tickets. Should know by the weekend. I doubt anyone in my group is staking a claim to a midweek day game against the Astros, though. Will keep you posted.
I did, yes, but I'd like to go to a couple games. I don't typically make a point to go to many cubs games during the year so why not go with my favorite European internet friend?
YOU CAN'T HOG ALL THE TONKER DATES!
Is TEC coming in for this shindig?

If I don't get a chance to boo Hunter Pence, I will be sad.
I should be able to get you within range of Hunter Pence's stick like calves.
I honestly don't care who I boo, as long as I get some of that delicious rage out of my system.
So, anyone else up for a mid-week day off?

My initial thought was to take Tuesday and Wednesday off. Because my aunt lives by the park, I can obtain some parking passes. Just not sure how many she has/willing to give up.

Okay, if Saturday will be the Desipi-pissup, where are we going to do it?
Wherever it is, it needs to have :
1. Beer
2. Grub
3. A relaxed stance on large groups of middle-aged men getting absolutely trolleyed
4. A "no Irish" policy
Any suggestions?

I don't necessarily think we need to be in Wrigleyville, to be fair. If we're going to do that, though, we might as well go to Goose Island.

Having said that, the hot broads

I want to do some clothes shopping while I'm in town - jeans, t-shirts, that kind of thing. I'm guessing that, despite its proximity to where I'm staying, Michigan Avenue isn't the place to go. Any top tips from the sartorially switched-on amongst you?
Hey guys. What's crackalatin? I won't be able to make it to Tonkest. The wife and I are building a house (IN THIS ECONOMY!) and things are going to be pretty hectic (read: expensive) during the summer. Hope y'all do it big and wish I could be there.

With your European money you can buy the town!
I don't see anything wrong with shopping on Michigan Ave but you can head out to Bucktown and the many Akira stores for some decent crapola. Oak St is nice too. I'm sure there's a ton more.

I don't know what you thought, Tonks. But that whole gnarly Brithish teeth game doesn't really play stateside.
Asshurt because you'll never have a Brithish accent, Pex?
Are you serious? What dialect you wanna hear?
Finally, a chance for you to use your improv skills.

Back to the game tickets...
I've got Sunday May 29th nailed down ($42) and Tuesday May 31st ($31) as well. Still working on the June first day game and Monday May 30th. I already told Tonks and TEC that they have right of first refusal for both games. The rest of your turdloads can speak up now for the other three (per game).

I had a feeling this might be what I was going to get, and you didn't disappoint. I love you guys.

Seriously, though, if you're looking for some real deal American Yankee blue jeans, there is a Levi's Store on Michigan Ave.
And an American Girl store.
Why buy an American girl when I can get one for free just by opening my mouth?
I don't know what you thought, Tonks. But that whole gnarly Brithish teeth game doesn't really play stateside.
Asshurt because you'll never have a Brithish accent, Pex?
I wanted a British accent. I'm asshurt.
I'd be terrified that I'd end up with Mancunian or Scouse.
Even Mancs and Scousers are grateful that they're not Brummie.
If you ever want to get on a British person's good side, insult some other part of the island and the Tribalism will kick in hard.
Or better yet France. You just can't go wrong there. Maybe the Irish dig them still, I don't know.
Not since the Thierry Henry handball.
Slak is right - you won't find too many Irishmen who have forgiven the French yet. Scotland and France famously have a "Auld Alliance", founded on a mutual hatred of the English and dating back to the 13th Century. If you've never mixed whisky and Roquefort cheese together into a pate (http://www.celtnet.org.uk/recipes/miscellaneous/fetch-recipe.php?rid=misc-auld-alliance), you should try it.
I still fucking hate them though. Such a beautiful country, and such a bunch of wankers.

My dentist today suggested that he might let me sleep in the lobby and lock up in the morning if I somehow miss the last train as a consequence of this event.
[Edit.--I forget whether this was before or after the Warren Zevon mention.]
I feel like this story is missing something, like a beginning and an end.
The middle needs a little development as well.
I wasn't going to pile on spike the football .

Zevon never went to the doctor but saw his dentist regular as clockwork. I had a coughing fit at the dentist and he asked if I wanted a glass of water, and I said, "no, it's probably a malignancy."
All right, listen up. There are two tickets available for the Tuesday evening game next week, and one for the Wednesday day game. Shout up if you want them. Tuesday is me and Yetti, Wednesday is me, Oleg and Bort. First come, first served.

Hawk has the fourth and final ticket for Wednesday now. So, now we just need two lucky, lucky people who get to spend the evening with Yetti and me.

I've never been to this W, so I don't know if we're going to have a couch. And if we wind up checking in during the middle of night, it might be kind of obvious. I suppose we could try to get there beforehand and scope it out.

That Yetti Guy and Tonks are going to the game Tuesday and sitting in my seats. I still have two more of those seats, which I'll have in my possession tonight at Galway Bay. You can either speak for them now or haggle with me tonight. $31 FACE. See you girls tonight.

Still plenty of good seats available to watch your Desipiot Heroes take on the local blue-collar scuz on the 16" Softball diamond Tuesday night. If you like men in tight pants, I'll be there, sweaty as hell, bent over at the waist alot while pitching and hitting the occasional home run. If you like short men with banged up knees, Oleg will be there with his hitter box. If you like ballroom dancing, obscure hockey factoids and workout jeans, Fork will be there chatting up anybody and everybody behind the dish. And if you like timeless, gut-splittingly hilarious fits of rage complete with buckets of spittle and asspain, Huey will be there as well. But if you like sexy bearded men with rifle arms and prodigious power, go to San Francisco, cuz that's where Slaky will be while we flounder in his absence.

I got one too. I showed it to TPex and she was sort of asshurt. She said she'd, "smack that bitch into some weight-loss." I laughed.
I have no idea what went I missed my not flying up there, but apparently, I was supposed to get raped in the sbox last night. (http://hje.me/sbox//dlog.php?date=2011-05-27) I batched it by not showing up.

So... How was Tonkfest Proper on Saturday, fellas? Anyone actually make it?
I had planned on attending, of course, but couldn't figure out how to make the trip down to Wrigleyville while remaining curled up in a fetal position muttering to myself about 'making some changes in my life.'
Fuck you, Malort.

In order of appearance :
Yetti, BC, Wheezer, Oleg, Peck, Shooter, the Hawk, Section 242, Morph, Powen. Outstanding barbeque at the Pork Shoppe. I kicked everybody's arse at bowling.
Great to see you Friday - that was fun, wasn't it?
There was bowling? And Shooter showed up?
Fuck you guys.

BC, Yetti, and Wheezer were there by the time I arrived. Tonker, also, was already and was looking much less worse for the wear than I expected. I lied, Yetti wasn't yet there as he was parking the car, which I'm told smelled of leftover meat wrapped in bacon that had been festering in the Chicago weather overnight. My theory is that it would be devoured by Yetti and BC before they ever made south of Kankakee, with no silverware at that.
We hung out at Sheffield's for a bit, got accosted by some old dude who introduced himself as 'Shooter'. A fine bloke, he managed to drink more beer than any non-Irishman should ever need to. Holy shit, Shooter is really good at it. He's also really good a paying for cabs (I'm pretty sure I owe you at least a fin). Sometime before Randy Wells did his best Anthony Young impersonation, we were joined by Section 242, who is much more of a Shoutbox/CT creation than a Desipiot. He threatened to cut off my nose if I didn't take his tickets for Monday's game, so here we are, my nose still attached. By this time we were also joined by Morph, who was also looking much more chipper than I expected him to look. We watched the Cubs game (fuck you who's ever idea that was), then ventured to Belmont and California to indulge in some awesome BBQ at the Pork Shoppe (http://www.yelp.com/biz/pork-shoppe-chicago#hrid:SMd1zkzJYvEEasUvb5LffQ). We then stumbled to Cody's...well, stumbled out of the cab anyway.
While at Cody's drinking and shooting some darts in their downstairs room so as not to offend the usual Saturday afternoon drinkers, we were greeted by a guy who threatened to stab us. Once we proved we wanted no part of his wallet nor that we had ever even stepped foot in Peru, much less conspired to mug him there, he relented, put away his stabbing knife and introduced himself as Powen. He was then followed downstairs by his brother, who looks very little like him and some cute chick who kept trying to put her mouth all over Powen's brother's junk. I'm assuming she was finally successful once they had both departed the public house.
Powen, Apex (who, I failed to mention above, also met us at Sheffield's and had a very interesting experience in the bathroom there), Tonker, Shooter, and I then managed to lift ourselves off the Cody's stools to catch another cab to Diversey Rock N Bowl. We ended up meeting some 'real' friends of mine and no matter how many times I say it, "they're friends of mine from the internet' still sounds both horrifying and hilarious at the same time.
So, we bowled and Shooter took some power naps and we all headed in our separate ways, only to know we shall meet again.
edit: Dammit. I left out TheHawk and his hot co-workers.

The Malort seems to have a time-delay hangover component on top of the other genetic susceptibility.
I told you.
Well, I was fine.
Were you drinking it on the rocks?

Yeah, we had the only two Old-Fashioned glasses in the place accounted for. The sustained assault I mounted on time itself once finding the corner stool may have some role here.

That Yetti Guy and Tonks are going to the game Tuesday and sitting in my seats. I still have two more of those seats, which I'll have in my possession tonight at Galway Bay. You can either speak for them now or haggle with me tonight. $31 FACE. See you girls tonight.
I took the third ticket....did anyone end up taking the last one?

I don't think so. I have it, though, and will bring it with me so anybody that wants it can just rock up. Tony, PM me your cell number.

I want to know how one shot of Malort put you down for the count.
I know had at least two shots of that devil's piss that evening (though I couldn't begin to tell you why). Still, that's enough to get this old lightweight headed down the wrong path. The Swedes have figured out how to liquify evil, my friends.
Add in Morph the Enabler jumping up to buy my a pint of Smithwick's to replace the one I shattered on the floor at Pex's feet (when a kinder man might have cut me off) and then whatever the hell I went on to drink at whatever the hell bar we ended up at after Soapytitwank scared Tonks away from Galway and you can stuff your suburbs in a sack, mister.

For some reason this moniker made me LOL. Anyway, I paid for my excesses on Saturday afternoon. Some fucking parade or whatever closed half of the Loop, so I ended up in stop-and-go traffic from the minute the Ike ended all the way up into River North. I could not get west at all, and the LSD was jammed, so I ended up on fucking Michigan Ave., going north, just dying to find a way west so I could park near the red line. Of course, that was when the Malort and other toxins reared their ugly heads. Finally, on Michigan Ave and Ohio or so, I couldn't hold it back anymore and opened my car door and voided two monstrous jets of stomach acid, Malort, beer, and breakfast. Naturally, it turned out that I had stopped right in a crosswalk and people were recoiling in horror. So I looked up, said "sorry." (think Belushi in Animal House) and drove on. Thank heavens for the Pork Shoppe, which saved my day.

I'm guessing that my failure to recall the taking of this goes along with my failure to notice that Tonk's left hand is horribly mangled.

Well SF was a blast but I missed out. Word is Oleg, Tonk and myself have something brewing for Thursday night. Unless I'm taking crazy pills.
When I last saw Tonker he was getting on a southbound train at Paulina, and I was going to get on a northbound train. But a CTA worker said some dude fell on the tracks at Diversey, so I took a cab home. Tonk, if you're reading this, get off the train and take a cab.

I actually got past Diversey on the Brown, but there was no danger of any Red line trains running, I don't think, so I got off at Sedgwick and got a cab from there...

Thank you, Tonk for coming into town for all this. Both times I've been up have been good times, regardless on how well the Cubs have fared. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go make out with my pillow

Are there no optometrists in Bugtussle County?
I cannot tell a lie. Also, she's now glad that the razzing of this crowd has given me the impetus to possibly consider going and getting a new haircut. She's spent many a year trying to get me to put any kind of effort into not looking like a schmuck.

I can't see any of these. This is most unfortunate.
Titto.
Are these fixed now?
Yes.
Can you make the people better looking now?
EDIT: I suppose that was what the Malort was for.
I wouldn't worry about that if I were you. Apparently ESKO thought you were quite the handsome dude.

Ask Powen where he gets his hair did. I think he and John Edwards have the same guy.

I'm sure it is. I think Slaky, this time, was wronger than Chuck and PenFoe's illegitimate slave child.
Having said THAT, we are meeting at Big Star tonight at 8 for some delicious tacos, followed by some live music somewhere. Not sure where yet.

Tonk is happy houring with Chuck right now at the Green Door Tavern in River North. 678 N Orleans.
Chuck is leaving at 6, but Tonk plans on sticking around and Huey will be joining him around 7. I expect I'll probably head down, too, because... why not? Wheezer is reportedly en route.
It'll be a veritable meeting of the minds.

But thanks for picking us up, Tank.
That was a genuinely hellish ride back on the #6. There was a couple having a singalong at the tops of their lungs the entire way, and they weren't exactly particular about getting the lyrics correct. And I was greeted by the horrible realization that it's alumni weekend, implying a park full of trinket-peddling vagabonds come morning.
It's been reassuring to be reminded thrice this week that there may be more salvageable corners of my unconscious mind than I had thought.
So, anyway, in the absence of any actually good ideas for what to do with my annual Week Away From The Trouble And StrifeTM, and having once more read through the "breakfast" thread from beginning to end, I'm thinking about coming to Chicago again. The Cubs are in town and playing the Tards and Pissburgh from the 27th July until the 2nd August so I thought I'd probably look to fly in on the 27th and back out again on the 4th, something like that.
I know it's a long way off for those of you that don't have kids and thus don't have your schedule planned until the middle of 2014 like me, but are any of you likely to be around then? To be honest, I'll be quite happy just to bodge about town on my own, but if any of you (even Yetti) are available for beer/Kumas/hand job exchange, so much the better.
I promise not to bare my arse to any bartenders this time.*
*I promise nothing of the sort, actually.

I should be around. Looking forward to it! In fact, perhaps given the relative dearth of demand for Cubs tickets this year we should look to make a Desipiot outing of some sort coincide with that weekend? Take over the LF corner of the Bleachers, perhaps, or sit silently at Brixen Ivy?

How much would it cost to let Tonk play a game at third?

So, anyway, in the absence of any actually good ideas for what to do with my annual Week Away From The Trouble And StrifeTM, and having once more read through the "breakfast" thread from beginning to end, I'm thinking about coming to Chicago again. The Cubs are in town and playing the Tards and Pissburgh from the 27th July until the 2nd August so I thought I'd probably look to fly in on the 27th and back out again on the 4th, something like that.
I know it's a long way off for those of you that don't have kids and thus don't have your schedule planned until the middle of 2014 like me, but are any of you likely to be around then? To be honest, I'll be quite happy just to bodge about town on my own, but if any of you (even Yetti) are available for beer/Kumas/hand job exchange, so much the better.
I promise not to bare my arse to any bartenders this time.*
*I promise nothing of the sort, actually.
That backs quite nicely into Lollapalooza weekend. I will be around for sure.
Tonker's pretty much going to have to go to Lollapalooza now.
Countdown to leg humpings - commenced.
Does this mean more Alfonso Soriano memorabilia is going to be purchased?
I can possibly make it. I have such a busy life, I'll have to squeeze it in

For Sunday, 7/29, we can buy a block of 20 terrace reserved seats for $47/pop.
Rooftops might be only a little more if we wait it out.

Amazing. 20 seats, in a block, for a Sunday game against the Tards, for less than $50 a pop. Looks like even the most optimistic Cubs' fan has accepted that they're going to be all kinds of shitty this year.

Yeah. It's totally unhealthy to take advantage of the available opportunity to travel internationally to a world class city in the prime weather season in said city.

If you want Desipio rivalries, little can compare to the one between the late Jake Potter and Brian Crozier.
Talk about one-sided.
And CT's right--KD's full-frontal assault on carlosz#1fan's inanity is the stuff that hopefully survives a thermonuclear war.
BC here responds to a Potter two-part series on how he detests BC. (http://www.desipio.com/?p=721) The original columns appear to be gone.
And I'd be remiss if I don't include this classic 2004--05 College Basketball preview (http://www.desipio.com/?p=721). I made reference to the 1983 Cadillac, Bo Ryan and U.S. 41 near Green Bay to my wife last night. She didn't get it.
IDITO! Here's the basketball preview. (http://www.desipio.com/?p=771&cpage=1#comments) Pretend it's 2004, read the preview and then read the comments (not as much fun as embedding pictures has been disabled)

I.e., queermos like Thrill.

It's long been yolked with the Metro. Metro has long been a venue with a diverse array of musical acts, many of which might be considered alternative. Hipsters listen to alternative music. It's science.
This is pretty stupid even for you.
Whatever. I'm not talking to you until you apologize for erroneously calling me a ghey when I was defending you. (http://www.desipio.com/messageboard/index.php?topic=8036.msg250725#msg250725)
We are brothers united in the ability to chub up at the sight of L-Koz's butt cheeks. Sorry about that.
But yeah the only people that go to music shows are hipsters and anti-establishment jerkoffs.
Real people enjoy music like this, hipsters enjoy music like that.
I swear on Linda Kozlowski's aged posterior that people were calling The Fray a hipster band during their botching of the national anthem on Monday night.

I just called Mrs. Butthead into the room with the promise of showing her the greatest thing ever. She was not as impressed as I was.
Just booked my accommodation, back at Dewitt Place (http://www.dewittplace.com/). Thought I'd mention it for those of you who are asked by friends for recommendations - this place is, for a certain sort of traveller, completely fucking unbeatable. I've just paid $840, all-in, for seven nights room only within about a hundred yards of the Hancock. The room is a little basic but everything's clean and working, and there's airco, cable telly, a fully equipped kitchen with a large fridge, and most important of all, free wi-fi. At a push, the room could sleep 4 (the couch folds out into a double) and for around $120 a night, I defy you to find better value for money in the whole of Chicago, let alone right downtown. Why the hell this place isn't booked out on an ongoing basis, I have no idea. Worth bearing in mind, anyway.
In other news, I fucking love Chicago and can not wait for this trip.

1) Do it the first time for yourself.
2) Do not tell him you went on one.
3) Do it the second time for your son's benefit.

Chuck, we've already seen a snapshot of a typical Haggis Emporium shopper. They're young, they've got families, and most important, they've got appetites. This is a no-brainer.

3) Do it the second time for your son's benefit.
4) Sell Tonker a commercial loan to open his haggis emporium in Lincoln Square.
5) ???
6) Profit.
Or is that not how it works?
Dunno if I can get an inventory advance approved for intestines and testicles.
It's not like we took TARP.
Despite Fork's insistence, there are no balls in a haggis. It's made of heart, lungs and liver.
But how do you expect to compete with the other haggis emporiums popping up all over Chicagoland? Tonker's Amazeballs Haggis Emporium: It's the balls, mate.
"the only way you get more balls is if Carlos Marmol is pitching!"

I'm thinking that I'm going to do a Wrigley tour on Thursday 2nd or Friday 3rd August. Anybody fancy coming with me?
So that's a "no", then, is it? Fine, screw you guys.
I'd be for it were the Murtons in town, but they'll be locked up... uh... at camp in Michigan that week.
Wait... you're not doing something because you DON'T have the kids?
Chuck is Bizarrodad.
The Eldest Murton has wanted to go for a long time. The schedule of tours has never worked our with when we can go. Were I to go without him, he'd kill me. And, frankly, it's probably not a thing to do twice.

Well, the truth is, of course, that these days we're all so mixed up that most Scots have at least a whiff of the Anglo-Saxon about them. Nonetheless, Scots can distinguish themselves from the English by the fact that we were never invaded by the Angles or the Saxons (or the Romans, for that matter) and as such, remained relatively pure Gaels or Picts (Celts) for a long, long time.

Right, chaps: the time is nigh. Tonkfest 2012TM is but a couple of weeks away and at the risk of offending those of you who don't have kids and can still live day-to-day, I'd like to get something planned for Sunday 29th July.
I can offer you three things:
1. STL @ CHC, 2:20 ET first pitch.
2. My attendance.
3. One way or another, beer.
So, who's up for what that day? Anybody? Bar? Rooftop? I'd like to avoid actually making you lot go to Wrigley on my account, so let's not do that. I'll probably try to go the ballpark by myself (or with a small, specially selected band of masochists) later in the week, anyway, and once will definitely be enough this time.
I know you'd probably rather not watch SPORTZ and drink BEER, but tell yourself you're doing it for me. Because that's just the sort of bloke you are.

I am a free man through July so you give me a time and a place and I will be there.
I'm a tentative "in" for the 29th.
I'll probably be a no on the Cubs game, but I'd be down for golf and/or a bar of sorts.

So, who's up for what that day? Anybody? Bar? Rooftop? I'd like to avoid actually making you lot go to Wrigley on my account, so let's not do that. I'll probably try to go the ballpark by myself (or with a small, specially selected band of masochists) later in the week, anyway, and once will definitely be enough this time.
I know you'd probably rather not watch SPORTZ and drink BEER, but tell yourself you're doing it for me. Because that's just the sort of bloke you are.
I'd like to suggest a beer garden, if not a rooftop.
Honestly, I really don't mind. Whatever you guys want to do - just not Wrigley itself.
I live right by the ballpark and I like beer and sportz and men.
I believe I can do Sunday the 29th as well... what other festivities are planned for the weekend?

Right, chaps: the time is nigh. Tonkfest 2012TM is but a couple of weeks away and at the risk of offending those of you who don't have kids and can still live day-to-day, I'd like to get something planned for Sunday 29th July.
I can offer you three things:
1. STL @ CHC, 2:20 ET first pitch.
2. My attendance.
3. One way or another, beer.

I am a free man through July so you give me a time and a place and I will be there.
Ditto. Except replace 'July' with '2012'. At least.

I think the crux of this is that Tonker
already mooned the barstaff at Durkin's the last time he was in town.
Though that's all hearsay to me. I don't remember a fucking thing from that point in the proceedings.

That's because you were implored to stop before it got out of hand. Luckily for all of us, the bouncer thought it was funny.

Booze. Cruise. Tunes.
Well, I'm glad we got that sorted out.
So, where's it going to be? Somebody (other than Dubbs, clearly) needs to make an executive decision about Sunday's (pre-)game drinking, not least so that the out-of-towners know what's happening and can make plans accordingly. I'd make the decision myself but I'm nearly as likely to get this wrong as Chuck would be.
Sheffield's, like last time? It has screens, decent grub, a reasonable beer selection and a garden. No? Somewhere else?
Here's a Yelp selection that I made (http://www.yelp.com/search?cflt=sportsbars&find_desc=&find_loc=Chicago%2C+IL#attrs=RestaurantsGoodForGroups&l=p:IL:Chicago::%5BDePaul,Lakeview,Lincoln_Park,Near_North_Side,River_North,Wrigleyville%5D&sortby=rating) in case anybody needs inspiration.
What are we doing Friday night, other than putting Tonk into a dog suit so we can tell everyone he's Wilfred?
I humbly make 2 suggestions for Sunday:
Upscale http://www.deucesandthediamondclub.com/ a brand new place on Clark street, not cheap but really nice patio (they have private cabanas as well) and inside bar good drinks and lovely waitresses
More divey but still great http://www.yelp.com/biz/guthries-tavern-chicago A bit outside of Bro central but only 3 blocks to Wrigley nice back porch good beer selection

I've been to Guthrie's before, I think - after a Cubs game. Isn't it the place with all the board games? I was thinking more along the lines of a SPORTZ bar, my frent, so we can watch the Cubs get their arses handed to them by the Tards. And upscale? You're far too civilised. I know you've met these people, Hawk. What is it about them that says "upscale"? We just need a place that isn't going to throw us out when one of us (ahem) removes his trousers.

Well the servers at D+D are worth removing one trousers for. But for pure Sportz bars, Sheffields is cool, but YakZies over on Clark by the field might be a good choice for someplace new (didn't know you had been to Guthries before).

I've also been to YakZies, but the one on Diversey, not in Wrigleyville. In all honesty, though, I don't think we want to be that near the park, do we? I guess anywhere round there will be full of Chads before and after the game. Perhaps there was a reason Sheffield's was the right choice first time round...

I'm doing Critical Mass. Then, we're ALL meeting up for a burger at Dillinger's. ALL = a buddy whom of mine whom Tonker knows. He's one of them ND (Non-Despiots).
So, meet at Dillinger's at 7:30 or so. Or, somewhere else afterwards. I'd actually be up for staying in Chadville and striking out with Trixies. Just a suggestion based on burger consumption and Tonker's anticipated state by then.
But, whatever. People can text me or something.
Okay, as there still seems to be some confusion, here's my schedule:
Friday 27th: Land ORD 1410. Make way into town to my gaff. Make way up to Dillinger's for around 1930. TonkfestTM 2012 Part I. Profit.
Saturday 28th: DeKalb, golf. Back in the Chi early evening? Might be up for a beer at that stage.
Sunday 29th: TonkfestTM 2012 part II, Sheffield's, from around 1300 until Shooter falls asleep in his beer.
Monday 30th - Friday 3rd: Drink as much beer, eat as much meat, smoke as many fags, shag as many birds as I possibly can. Anybody who wants to come along for the ride is very welcome. I may well go to the day game against the Pirates on Wednesday 1st, feel free to join me. I could also be persuaded to go to one of the night games (Mon, Tue) instead if there's anybody who would rather do that.
So, see you Friday and Sunday for the official stuff. There will also be a Shoutlunch at some stage but we haven't decided where or when yet. I'll leave that up to you guys, because I can do any day.
Fuck me, I'm looking forward to this.
Only stuff your wife won't mind.

Friday 27th: Land ORD 1410. Make way into town to my gaff. Make way up to Dillinger's for around 1930. TonkfestTM 2012 Part I. Profit.
Saturday 28th: DeKalb, golf. Back in the Chi early evening? Might be up for a beer at that stage.
Sunday 29th: TonkfestTM 2012 part II, Sheffield's, from around 1300 until Shooter falls asleep in his beer.
Monday 30th - Friday 3rd: Drink as much beer, eat as much meat, smoke as many fags, shag as many birds as I possibly can. Anybody who wants to come along for the ride is very welcome. I may well go to the day game against the Pirates on Wednesday 1st, feel free to join me. I could also be persuaded to go to one of the night games (Mon, Tue) instead if there's anybody who would rather do that.
So, see you Friday and Sunday for the official stuff. There will also be a Shoutlunch at some stage but we haven't decided where or when yet. I'll leave that up to you guys, because I can do any day.
Fuck me, I'm looking forward to this.
Dillinger's the bar on Lincoln?
Yes. Does that mean it doesn't get the Dubbs seal of approval?
You're coming all the way from Australia to play golf in DeKalb?

First off, no, Dillinger's is probably the worst bar on Lincoln. I thought it was closed, actually. Went there about a year ago and wouldn't go back.
Nothing like driving all the way to Dekalb to play golf and waste 8 hours of your limited time in Chicago.

No, I check reddit all the time. I just must not subscribe to the reddits where people are yelling about men's rights and what not. I just look at the stupid pictures like the one Tony posted that I haven't checked yet because I'm at work.

In retrospect NSFL might have been more accurate than NSFW. I spend too much time on reddit.
Say hi to Gil.
You guys must love all the CP.
Is Mobutu still going on about that shit?
No, I check reddit all the time. I just must not subscribe to the reddits where people are yelling about men's rights and what not. I just look at the stupid pictures like the one Tony posted that I haven't checked yet because I'm at work.
My advice to you: don't check it.
I agree but it's awesome.
It really is. I'm not 100% convinced it's not a Shop, but even if it were, it's awesome.
Counting the minutes to Tonkfest. It's better than Christmas because it's not a made up holiday. Tonker really lived. He left and he came back. Suck it, Jesus.

A good start. Readers of the FroBlog will be happy to know that I absolutely demolished the kid in billiards while excoriating him for his views on both Charles Tillman and Lovie Smith.
Thrill, Morph, Slak, Gallahad and I shut the town down after Oleg and Tonk left to get some shut eye before their golf outing today. Previously, Fork, LFork and various other assorted gents helped us to rule the roost wherever we went.
Swee you at Sheffields tomorrow around 1.

4 hours of golf in the in the sun followed by an awesome cookout in the cornfields was not kind to my advanced aged body. I dropped off Tonker at his hotel at around 9. That bloke needed some rest. I'm guessing he's going on his 12th hour of sleep as I type this and we'll all be better for it.
Sheffield's today is on. 12:30 or so...maybe 1.
If anyone wants to join us, Tonk and I are meeting at Anne Sather's on Belmont for some breakfast around 11.

I was trying - and failing - to explain to Oleg just how fucking alien that whole cornfield experience yesterday was to me. And by "alien", I mean utterly, utterly fucking brilliant. Despite Tdubbs' misgivings, if yesterday isn't the highlight of of my trip, I'll be amazed (and, clearly, delighted.)
Golf in the US: golf carts, huge fucking Bloody Marys with four shots of vodka, sunshine, cornfields, cold beer and food delivered to you on the course.
Golf in Europe: none of the above.
By the way, it turns out that Huey's family are really, really cool people. I can only assume he's adopted.

Let's do Thursday, then. Venue TBD by somebody other than me.
I'll also be doing Skrinechops for lunch this week - possibly tomorrow? Oleg? There's also some discussion of having lunch at Kuma's on Friday, for those of you who can make that.
Portillo's today, I think, and then I'll be going to see the Cubs tonight (natch). If you want to meet for lunch, give me a call on +31 653 477 868 and we can discuss timings. I won't be able to read anything here between now and then.

Portillo's today, I think, and then I'll be going to see the Cubs tonight (natch). If you want to meet for lunch, give me a call on +31 653 477 868 and we can discuss timings. I won't be able to read anything here between now and then.
How about a dress rehearsal tomorrow at Skrine Chops.
Thursday at Big and Little's? 11:30?
Jorts?

I'm down for a ShoutLunch or 2. Tuesday and Wednesday are both out for me. I'll sit down and wait for my options.
I can't make Monday or Tuesday, but am open otherwise.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday sound perfect.
Tuesday sounds particularly good.

Went to Northdown Cafe on Lincoln for dinner and a couple of fine beers with Tonker. Our waitress got off her shift and joined us for a beer.
We got to talking and Tonker told her where he was from, etc.
Eventually, she says to Tonker, "I would have thought you were from Australia."

Heh - well, if I'm wrong I apologize. I can only assume that my visit there was typical, but if in fact there aren't typically long lines of hipster doofuses, I apologize if I mislead anyone.
I actually find it's better to go on a non-Friday.
Tonk, you'll probably wait for 20-30 minutes. Duck Fat Fries are overrated anyway - get three hot dogs of various origin.
Enjoy - it is a wonderful, heavenly place.

Is there a lunch today?
I think I'm going to do Hot Doug's today, actually.
Eating alone, then?
If anybody would like to join me, they'd be very welcome.
I'd join you on a day that I don't work. Why don't you be a good Aussie and come to the loop for a slunch?
Because there's going to be a Shoutlunch at Skrinechops tomorrow, and I need to be up Hot Doug's way today anyway...
Too bad you're not going on Friday - that's duck fat fries day.
After Big & Little's truffle fries yesterday, I can live with that.

More importantly, it's conveniently en route to O'Hare.
So: gorge on pizza at Candlelite, zip west on Touhy and Devon to Superdawg for a Whoopskidawg to-go, Nagle to 90 to O'Hare to Den Haag.

Wish I could get out to HD. I highly recommend the Thuringer as one of your selections, and remind you its cash only.
As for Candelite/Superdawg-- you could get a 'za to go and wash it down with a lovely shake

It
is about time someone really stress-tested those steerage lavs. Maybe they'll upgrade you.
Okay, chaps, here's what's what:
Tomorrow (Thursday) : Skrinechops at 1145 for a shoutlunch.
Friday : Kuma's corner. Time TBA (probably mid-afternoon some time). Lager and shouting in the evening, venue TBA.
Saturday : Candlelite at around 1130 for 'za.

Shitballs. See you on the next go 'round. Maybe when this is all over you and I can get a little apartment together with an air conditioner and a bathroom large enough for a shag.

So, Hot Doug's. Well worth the three-and-a-half mile walk there (from Paulina Red) and back (to Addison Brown). I was in and out in 45 minutes, and had the Chicago dog (with everything, natch), the Italian with caramelised onions, and the foie gras/duck. The first two were outstanding - the best Chicago dog I've had, period, and the best Italian sausage I've had outside of, well... Italy. The foie gras, though, was something of a disaster. There's far too much foie gras on it, and it desperately needs something to cut the richness - something sweet and sour, maybe onion marmalade. The truffle aioli is just making matters worse and absolutely drowns the flavour of the sausage - there's supposed to be sauternes in there which in theory is a fantastic idea but in practice completely disappears behind everything else.
Anyway, the staff were really friendly, the line wasn't too long and the two sausages I did enjoy made me very glad I went. Next up, Skrinechops. Or, possibly, the gastro-enterologist.
Also, I'm pretty sure celery salt is the World's second greatest invention, behind babywipes.

No, it is not. If I want Château d'Yquem, it's not for putting into a goddamned cooked sausage.

Yes, it is. Sauternes and foie gras is a classic combination. Why the fuck should the wine you use for cooking be any different to any other ingredient? You use the best, you get the best. The dish was just very badly balanced.

If you're just going to deglaze a pan, you can use Two Buck Chuck or something. But if the wine is a substantial ingredient, the flavor absolutely comes through.
Or, what Tonker said.

You also have to treat the best fucking properly. This concoction is implausible on its face unless the thing never got far above room temperature, in which case it would just be a pâté in a casing. Sweet Jesus, do something sensible (http://alineaphile.com/2010/04/pushed-foie-gras-sauternes-pear-chervil/). It is attachment to name and form, which isn't a bright idea in the first place, and it gets the second half wrong.

That was actually backward. It was identified as a thermal oxidation product in Sauternes from 3-sulfanylhexanol disulfide on the basis on varying gas chromatograph nozzle temperature (not present at 45 C, but present at 230 C). The actual compound is responsible for one of the citrus notes in Sauternes. The volatile sulfur compounds are chemically labile and readily perceived; you're not going to "preserve the character" of a complicated wine if you subject it to heat in the presence of oxygen, which is why
this is a bad idea.
[
Edit.--It was even more backward because I was thinking of 3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19754174), and 3-sulfanylhexanol disulfide is 3,3'-disulfanediyldihexan-1-ol.]
[
Edit 2.--And as the former is the only stable polyfunctional thiol, we are left with (
I) phenylacetaldehyde, (
II) 2-phenylethanol, (
III) 3-mercaptohexan-1-ol, (
IV) ethylhexaonate, (
V) beta-damascenone, (
VI) gamma-nonalactone, and (
I) delta-decalactone as the big guns to be examined.]

Oh, no, this could go on for ages. I haven't actually had chemistry in 24 years. I'm just now wondering whether a better proxy for these purposes is flash point or boiling point. Of course, somebody could just go buy a case of Sauternes and things could be settled experimentally.
This is all Greek to me. If you're trying to convince me that, once it's been heated, you can't taste Sauternes in food, then I'm going to go all CHEMISTRY MEATBALL ABOUT THIS, MY FRENT. I don't believe it.

Well, it was a penicillin reaction on top of the flu, which was itself the proximate cause of the secondary inner ear infection that had required the penicillin prescription in the first place.
It's tough to tease out which of the above was the worst part, but I dropped over 10 pounds inside of a week.

Heh... Tonker.
Am I missing something?
It's random. Whatever.
So, STonk and I were chatting this morning about the Cubs and she suggested that, should they make the World Serious, I might want to take a little trip to Chicago to experience it all. It will all kind of depend on how much a short-notice flight to Chicago will cost me, but it's the week *after* the autumn break here so it might not be too horrendously overpriced and I might, indeed, do it.
Bearing in mind, though, that such a trip would be at least partially funded out of the kids' autumn break pot (helloooo staycation!), and bearing also in mind that, should the Cubs actually make the series, hotel room prices will immediately go apeshit, I'd be looking to couchsurf while in town. My good buddy Jeff (who I met at the air show last year) has just bought himself a house on W. Argyle, out by the Expressway somewhere, so I don't doubt I could crash with him for a couple of nights, but I don't want to wear out my welcome.
So, the long and the short* of it is that, should the Cubs make the Series, and should the flight not be too expensive, I'd be looking to tag-team my way through a week in town. If you've got a spare bed, or a couch, or even an air mattress on the floor, and wouldn't mind me crashing for a couple of nights, let me know. People who live outside the reach of the CTA need not apply, you fucking yokels.
I will have money to buy you beer, if that helps. I am also quite domesticated and useful around the home and will be happy to help out and/or bodge your little jobs just as thoroughly as you could bodge them yourself.
*looking at you, Oleg

If by some miracle I still have a place, you're completely welcome down in Hyde Park. I even insist upon being the one to sleep on the floor when I have a guest (never did find the leak in the Aerobed, but I manage).

Thanks, Wheez, that's very kind of you - although Hyde Park would be more attractive as a place to stay were it the Sox we were talking about. Why are you expecting not to have a place, by the way? Or is that just your customary optimism leaking out?

You could also stay with me. There's an Original Tommy's Hamburgers nearby and convenient flights to Chicago from Bob Hope International/Burbank daily. Only a few hours, easy peasy. I'll wait for you at the airport. Except LAX, if you fly into LAX you're on your own.

I'm pretty sure it's needless to say but you (Tonker not Fork) are more than welcome on my couch or air mattress. Strangley, I'm pretty sure Fork is much more convenient for the L but I do live around the corner from Rosa's. And, when the Cubs make it to the WS, I'm pretty sure no one is going to be expecting me at work anyway.

I'm pretty sure it's needless to say but you (Tonker not Fork) are more than welcome on my couch or air mattress. Strangley, I'm pretty sure Fork is much more convenient for the L but I do live around the corner from Rosa's. And, when the Cubs make it to the WS, I'm pretty sure no one is going to be expecting me at work anyway.
Let's wait and see if your accommodations are up to King Tonker's exacting standards. If you're lucky, you'll make the cut.

Whoa, just snuck in there under the CTA bar, huh?
Cheers, old friend. You're on the list and, subject to the forthcoming lottery, could well the lucky recipient of a visit from me! What a time to be alive, eh?
The L is a half block from my house, man.
For someone beseeching the benevolence & hospitality of his Internet friends, Tonker sure is rather shot-cally.
So all of a sudden I'm supposed to be all nice, and friendly, and kind and shit, just because I want something? You guys would smell that a fucking mile away.
We just figured after two world wars, you'd be happy with any American assistance.
Except for your comparison to be valid you'd need to be charging me huge amounts to let me stay.
