JFC I’m cackling at the description of d33

I’m not wrong though! I saw two separate waxed mustaches and a handlebar, and that’s just the staff.

Dearborn has the air of a wealthy young woman whose three fiances all died mysteriously days before their wedding, just after updating their wills. There's no proof that she was involved. Three totally different causes of death. But there is *talk*.

She simply can’t pay them any mind when they talk; soon she will shake this small town from her shoes and remake herself, becoming a mysterious socialite in New York....

Polkadot almost always looks like she's plotting murder in the pics you post of her. :D <3

I was going to say she’s got resting murderface, but for all I know she IS plotting murder in those pics.

My cat chases her tail. She'll just be sitting there and see her tail in the corner of her eye and go nuts. She'll end up on her back with the tail in her mouth. I've got to try to get video some time. It's totes adorbs

The Cryptids used to, as kittens, but now they only chase each others’ when it’s annoying them :D

Would you be interested in recommendations for comics?

Not just yet, thank you though! I’ll post when/if I do, asking for reccs. I’ve had a few, I just haven’t investigated deeply yet :)

Well that’ll make for a nice fast festival of light :D

Oh we're supposed to have Plochman’s in our fridges? I just have the generic yellow stuff from aldi...

That’s probably peak chicagoan, to be honest. Plochman’s is local, but generic yellow from Aldi is specific.

Your sister is so secretive that this is the first time I've heard of her and I've been following you for close on a decade already. o_o

I used to talk about her more in the early years, back on LJ, but as she got older I wanted to give her more say in how much I talked about her online, and she didn’t really want to have a presence -- and anyway we see less of each other now, so I haven’t brought her up much.

Azelastine sounds like a “Good Omens” fanfic character...

Patron saint of sinus infections and crying in doctors’ offices (viz: things I had to do to get the prescription).

ameliahcrowley replied to your post “An interesting thing about VeggieTales is that the Bible stories it...”

The most confusing thing about Veggie Tales, from the perspective of an outsider, is that it apparently exists at all.  That said, someone in the notes suggested that Jesus is a tater tot.

Oh, that’s a nice idea. I’m an outsider as well in that I never watched it as a kid, but SOMEONE kept asking for Veggie Tales/Avengers crossovers so at some point I had to do some research. 

It’s really unsettling as an adult, but I can see why the kids like it.

Oh, I BADLY want the ski chalet but the shipping is CAD$37 (that’s 1.5x on top of the price of the actual chalet...)

What a shame! I can see why it would be expensive to ship, though, the box is a super-awkward size. 

themiscyra1983 mentioned you on a post “Chicago bar installs over 70 Big Mouth Billy Bass to sing popular...”

@copperbadge​ Sam are you saying you liked Wicker Park before it sold out?

HAHAHAHAHAHA well, I never liked Wicker per se -- it’s cool and there’s fun stuff to do but I am painfully out of place there. The first time I visited, I just wanted to see the Chrome bag store, and it was like...ten thousand people in skinny jeans and ill-fitting shirts, bad haircuts, and trucker caps, and there was me in a nice leather jacket, conservative boots, and khakis. I was like a dad in a Hot Topic. Very awkward.

Men typically do not. Men who live without a car seem more likely to trip chain, and more likely to do chains that don’t involve coffee. But yeah it’s definitely seen as feminine. And my local transit is hell for circular routes but I at least have a train and a reasonable schedule of every 10m trains.

I mean, I suppose my chain usually involves a meal, but that’s just because I know when I’ll get tired/hungry. That’s wild, I wonder how their errands get done, like...I guess you just go out to do one thing and randomly think of others? 

thatmadhatter replied to your post “Hi, I recently got a transfer to the new Starbucks and it stays...”

The roastery is so freaking pretty, I know a bunch of the Chicago partners that work there and it’s been an interesting transition from what I hear. They do get paid more, but it’s a no-tip store, so I’m not sure if that balances out.

Huh! I wonder if people somehow try to tip them anyway? I guess with no tip jar and no line on the receipt they probably only get tipped when people say “keep the change” and that likely goes to some kind of special Bux fund rather than the person. How interesting.
