They are not even the worst team in the AL.
That is because my team is the worst in the AL. My mighty Mariners, how low you have fallen.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is interesting: a look at Chicago's top ten sculptures.
From one of the slides:
This 21st Century equivalent of a grand ceremonial arch or gate to an ancient city additionally reflects the heavens and some of Chicago's important architectural legacy. (The work is popularly--and foolishly--nicknamed the Bean.)
No, not "foolishly". 'Cuz that's what it looks like. A giant silver bean.

Everyone tell your favorite fog stories!
Mine was when I was 16, and my sister, mom and I were vacationing in Maine. We drove up to Quaddy Head State Park, the easternmost point of the US, just to say we'd been there, and had the most atmospheric, awesome beach experience I've ever had. It was so foggy you couldn't see 15 feet in front of you, so there was almost no one else there, and we strolled along the beach, listening to the seals barking on a vaguely-seen outcrop of rock several yards away. Add to that the occasional blare of the lighthouse foghorn and flare of its light, and it was just so cool!

Once I was visiting a lighthouse, and it was really foggy, and the sound of the foghorn called some giant prehistoric creature out of the deep - apparently it thought the foghorn was a mating call.
Wait, that was a Ray Bradbury story.

Yeah, those are some great statues, and it's always good to call attention to them, but I'm unimpressed with the photography and the commentary they've attached. You can do better, Tribune.

My team, the Royals, are actually not the worst team in baseball. They are not even the worst team in the AL.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I once got caught in a white-out while driving to Boston from NJ. Couldn't see a thing. We finally took an exit ramp just to get off the highway, figuring that side roads would be safer, and ended up at this strip mall that had a 24-hour Chinese restaurant. The food was horrible, but it was midnight and we were hungry and tired. We never did figure out where we actually were.
