Polar Ice Caps on LSD

Well, not really, but this is what Lake Michigan looked like for most of the winter.

Lady Gaga on LSD

A tourist shouted, “Lady Gaga is all about Chicago and the Mag Mile. She’s even dating the hottest guy on Chicago Fire, that show.”

Her pre-teen daughter replied, “Who’s the hottest guy on Chicago Fire? There’s lots of guys.”

“Oh, you’ll know him when you see him. Trust me.”

They'll even do a shoddy wrap job--free of charge.

Bad Decisions on LSD

This is strategically placed next to McFadden's off Division Street, a bar which should have "bad decisions" in their tagline.

How you feel the next morning:

Bonus points if you can "spot" the leggings. (See what I did there?)

How a real leopard really feels about this:

Hungover on LSD

Going to work after a St. Pat's Day weekend bender. 

Me at my 9 a.m. meeting & at my 3:30 p.m. meeting:

St. Pat's on LSD

As I am walking to the bars at 9 a.m. today, the first quote I hear is: “My goal today is to not have sex in a bathroom.”

‘Bout sums it up.

Deadly Car Accident on LSD

In all seriousness, this happened last night at 4 a.m. Three-car-crash collision on southbound Lake Shore Drive between Diversey and Belmont. 

Read the Chicago Tribune article. Be careful out there.

St. Patrick's Day on LSD

Living in Chicago, I'm often asked, "When do people start celebrating St. Pat's Day?"

With the exception of the South Siiide kicking it off the Sunday before every St. Pat's with their parade, I overheard two young 20-somethings talking about how and when they will start this year.

"I need a $6 Red Bull Vodka right now to start St. Pat's off right."

So according to these girls, Thursday morning, around 7:50 a.m. is when Chicago gets the Irish party started.
