And even if Buffistas didn't consistently create attractive offspring, any substandard Buffista spawn always could be put to work, say, scrubbing my shower with a Magic Eraser.

I'm a contingency planner by nature.

And for any Chicagoistas thinking about lunch: [link]

Ick.

My bad. Too much time on LJ, obviously...

Luckily, I've never eaten at any of those.

I'm pretty sure I've gotten food poisoning from two different restaurants in Chicago since I've lived here. (The Popeyes on Ashland & Irving Park, and some hotdog place on Lawrence.)

I am now doing the funny farm thing also. late to the party. I have 16 filled out boxes though so far - good? bad? I do not really understand what the goal is though as I did not read anything.

Today at work is day 1 of "pretend msbelle is not here" in prep for me being gone a month. is fun.

I, too am doing the funny farm thing. I am stupid, however, as it took me forever to figure out that I had to press enter after making my guess. And I am still stuck on the farm...

Luckily, I've never eaten at any of those.

Neither have I. I've never eaten at a Popeyes, and I think now I never will.

Yeah, years ago the Popeyes on Milwaukee Ave (in Wicker Park) was shut down for a while for health violations. I used to eat there occasionally - that particular Popeyes seemed more skanky than most....

This sounds cool:

If that is cool then The Velvet Underground With Nico has been supplanted by Creed's Heavy Clay. And Gravity's Rainbow has been bumped by Jonathan Livingston Seagull. You can toss Fleur du Mal in the trashcan, because you'll only need Stanyan Street and Other Sorrows.

Don't hold back now, Hec.

Hmm... I wonder who Hec's Secret Santa is? I have some advice for him/her....

eta: For a second or two, I was thinking, "What did I do to piss of Hec? - Oh yeah...."
