To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Plus, the bonus to Andrew's football helmet is that it got stuck on his EARS!

That was totally awesome. It's like he stepped out of some wacky stoner flick.

Because books.

And yeah, I'm on the Stephanie bandwagon. Like Harold, she's the real deal.

Oh, me too. I like Antonia, too, although the "fat men drinking beer" comment made me cringe.

The best was Gail saying, "Okay!" and WALKING AWAY. Heh.

Trust my rage

I hadn't really noticed the whole "talking down to/about the midwesterners" thing until it was mentioned here but once I started looking for it, it's pretty obvious. Not all Chicago fans are "fat men drinking beer" and if they are, that's doesn't mean they don't enjoy good food.

Okay, my new spike name is assHAT. I mean, he was even wearing a hat in the bathtub @@

This? Is perfection.

Punishingly Intricate

I loved all the old football players at the event. Ones I'd heard of even! You could tell Dale was pretty freaking excited about it as a fan!

I know! Gayle Sayers! And Richard Dent! That was cool. Dale definitely went fanboy for a minute.

And you know that he's going to go to games wearing his Top Chef jersey. I'm glad he won. The jersey wouldn't have really meant anything to anyone else.

Yeah, that's why I was so happy that he won - he was such a fanboy.

It really made me forgive a lot of his mercurial hissy-fit behavior. Him being a Chicago homeboy may also explain why he's been a LOT less condescending than a lot of the others.

I believe that Dale and Stephanie are the only remaining Chicagoans.
