Kyle Chandler isn't actually from Chicago. I think he's from Georgia (originally) and then New York - where he really grew up.
It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's ridonkulous, Kathy.
I have no idea who those people are.
Ah, that explains it. OK then.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
From an article in the NYTimes about the difficulty of teaching Middle School kids:
In New York City, almost every kind of experiment is under way. At Intermediate School 211 in Canarsie, students of all grades are grouped into academies with themes like business and cultural arts based on their interests rather than their age. The principal, Buffie Simmons-Peart, confiscates explicit romance novels with airbrushed covers, saying they have a “dumbifying” influence.

Holy crap. A professional fight is breaking out in my email (I'm just cc'd for admin reasons.) But...holy crap. Veiled insinuations of slightly shifty motives and....yikes.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
What's the matter with a little dumbification! Also, I think that airbrushed covers are probably goign to turn out to be nicer books than un-airbrushed. Friends don't let friends read ultra-cheapo romances!

Really? I wonder what kind of mushmouth he is when he's at home! Probably you could enter him in a Knowle-Rohr-off with poor Robert Patrick, plus a bunch of contestants chewing on taffy.

As opposed to so many other things kids read? Bonus points for "dumbifying" though.

Hee! I do have my rubber chicken here--maybe I should just hang it up by its neck instead of its feet, and see if anyone gets the inference.
That's ridonkulous, Kathy.
I've had the damn thing up for over a month now, and I only get a complaint filed (with HR, for God's sake! Couldn't they have said something to me directly?) now that the printer right next to where I had it hanging is being fixed, and a few IT people and one outside repairman have been the only new people that I can think of that might have read it this week.
