Holy crap! When the Snook and I left to go to work this morning, we were surprised to see fire trucks blocking Mountain Street at Broadway. We couldn’t figure out why they were there… until we suddenly realized that St. Barney’s Church was GONE. It had a massive fire last night. As the Snook quipped,…

Great article and interview with my favorite Chicago improv-artist (and Buckeye) Tara D. And she worked in a Boone’s Farm reference! If you are in Chicago, you must go see one of her shows.

Yay, Helga’s getting married! I’m very happy for her. I remember meeting her that first week of freshman year and not being quite sure what to make of this stern sounding German girl from Ohio. It only took a week or two to realize that she was actually wickedly funny and had no problem playing…

What about you?” And I suddenly realized that, yeah, I’m probably eligible…

Whenever I feel mildly ill and my neck is stiff, the Snook and I joke that I might have meningitis. I will never make that joke again. YEOWW! Poor Gadgetgirl!

AskMetaFilter comes through with ideas for labelling your food in communal food storage situations. Some of those are pretty funny. My favorite is the guy who put “MILK EXPERIMENT” on his milk cartons.

The weekends go so fast. Saturday the Snook and I went on a major hike from our place through the city, across the Bridge, and all the way to North Sydney. Along the way we stopped at Kings Comics to pick up our free comic books and then at Giordano so I could buy a…
