I'd fight that thing...you know, if I had to.

The topic of conversation today on the lips of everyone I know in Chicago was precisely the fact that a 150 lb. cougar was shot and killed in a nearby neighborhood by police yesterday.   Those officers shot that furry guy ten times when all was said and done.

So what in the hell set of circumstances leads to a damn mountain lion making its way into urban Chicago?   Did it have some coyote friends at one point?   

   

woof!

The realization instant as my food hit the pavement....and slid.   

I have lived in this city for the better part of the last five years.   I have always been careful to avoid what just happened to me tonight...always keeping a watchful eye to the ground.   

Somehow I failed today.   

I failed to see the hunk of shit that some dog owner recklessly decided to leave after Fido squeezed it out at some point in the last day or so.   This failure resulted in mushed dog log all over my shoe and back of my pant leg....

Dear dog lover who didn't pick up the shit:

Fuck you.   

Love,

John

gotcha...

You have to give these kids from my hometown their due credit...

When I was in high school ten fuck years ago, I had a similar idea, though mine was a tad different.

My plan was to get the root beer kegs, draw the cops, then switch out the rootbeer kegs for ones filled with real beer after they left.

Unfortunately, it never panned out...

enough!

I am done with winter.  I can't take it anymore. 

Yes, the week looks good.   But why, oh why, does it look and feel like January out there right now?

yes yass yass, it is good to have choice...but,

Can anybody explain to me just WHY we need to have hundreds of different kinds of toothpaste available to us?   

I get lost trying to decide exactly which one of these damn things to buy.  Don't they all basically do the same thing?  Right?!?  There are simply too many options.   

Do I want night-time toothpaste?  Can I use that stuff during the day?  What will happen if I do?  Will such unintended us cause some kind of injury t0 my teeth?     Is that safe?

Do I want white teeth?  Without whitening paste, will my teeth become brown?   

What about these pastes that protect against bad breath?  Plaque?  Tartar?   Cavities?  Cancer?   

Choice-overload in my opinion...

Out of fear of missing out on some promised benefit, I ended up getting the Crest Pro-Health...and only because the list on the box was the most comprehensive...

don't do that!

This sticker was on the wall in the bathroom of a Norwegian bus. 

I was in this Norwegian bus from Lillehammer to Oslo, Norway a few weeks ago and we all thought it was funny.  Can someone please tell me what the hell it means?   Well, whatever it means, make sure you NEVER do that while on a bus in Norway.   

damn straight son

comes from a friend in florida...

hahahah.... i just went to wash my car and this big ol hillbilly said that he used to live down in these parts but too many yankees seeped in so he moved up to mississippi -- he was driving a huge F350 wore a cowboy hat and had a huge belt that said his name on it, "Dave".  I said, "Yeah, damn yankees are responsible for all our country's problems." hehehe just to get him going, and I said it with a thick southern drawl, "Damn straight son."
