You Been Eatin' Some Corn?

While walking home yesterday I saw a homeless guy taking a shit in a bush. This was on the Magnificent Mile right next to the prestigious Wrigley Building (along the right side of the picture shown) that Frank Sinatra once sang about. A very fitting setting for outdoor defication I know.

P.S. I just woke up from a 12 hour sleep. Damn.

Is It Hot in Here, Or Is It Just Me?

So I saw An Inconvenient Truth today with Jill. In case you're not one of the cool kids, its a documentary by Al Gore that goes over the dangers of ignoring the Global Warming problem. I gotta say I liked it. He supplies a lot of hard data supporting his case that we are faced with a very serious and very imminent problem. While there are a lot of feasible things we can do to turn the problem around I'm afraid I have no confidence that the rest of society will do anything about until its too late and we're up Shit Creek without a paddle.

That is unless P. Diddy starts driving a BioDiesel Escalade.

P.S. I've had blogger's block the past few days so blow me Shannon.

Happy 666 Day!

I've received so many "Happy 666 Day" messages today I feel like it's my birthday.

All The Fanciest Dijon Ketchups

Everybody loves cash, especially me. If I had one billion (bearded?) clams this is what I would do with it, and in this order.

  1. Quit!
  2. Buy a big ass condo somewhere in Chicago. I don't know if I'd rather have a high-rise with a view, or a charming vintage home in Old Town. Either way, it would be big and expensive.
  3. Chicago is definitely the place to be in the summer, but I would need a winter home. Maybe something in Virgin Islands so I can look for Bernie Lomack's fortune.
  4. Buy a yacht and hire a crew to take me and my gold-digging girlfriends out on the lake (see photo).
  5. Put my money in some solid investments that will pay out dividends as fast as I can spend my money.
  6. Buy the Chicago Cubs. From what I've seen on the internet its valued somewhere between $250 and $350 million so I could definitely afford it.
  7. Do a lot of traveling with friends. I'd like to spend lots of time in Australia and Italy.
  8. Donate money to a bunch of small charities.
Who says money can't buy happiness?
