Crap, another lefty cafe in Evanston is closing. Wild Tree (on the corner of Davis and Oak) is closing due to bankruptcy. They just weren't doing well in this economy.
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Am I bad person for thinking "that's AWESOME"
I don't know but I will confess to a having similar reaction. So we can be bad people together.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
They took a seedy part of town that wasn't hurtin' nobody (except for the occasional murder) and turned it all touristy and sports-bar-ish....
The verb for this is: Giuliani.
"They totes Giulianied 9th and Hennepin, man!"

Holy shit - one of the A's top prospects in the minors has decided to leave baseball and join the priesthood. WTF, Grant Desme! I need your home runs more than God needs your service.

Montana Lance, 9-Year-Old Texas Boy, Found Dead At Stewart's Creek Elementary School
Montana Lance, a 9-year-old boy from Texas, was found dead in a bathroom at Stewart's Creek Elementary School in The Colony, Texas, on Thursday, the Dallas Morning News reports.
...
While the medical examiner has not released an official cause of death, police have said it was an apparent suicide.
Lt. Darren Brockway told the Associated Press that the boy "had reportedly hung himself in a bathroom" and was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
Damn. Nine is pretty young for a suicide, huh?
Now I'm wondering how young one can be and still have the desire and ability to commit suicide....

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I should get the larger pot for myself, which I can use for making MORE chili as well as making the regular amount of chili. Is my reasoning sound?
Fully sound, Chef Cow. Buy the biggie.

My fave is "3rdFloorAssholeSTFUOnYourBalcony." Or maybe "we can hear you having sex." There's also "wecanhearyouhavingsex," so that seems to be a popular one.
Then there's "GetOffMyLawn"...

I know a kid who attempted suicide when he was seven or eight.
Well, I didn't know him, I knew his sister. Her father is a friend and had gone to court to get her mother's shared custody revoked when she was four or five to get her out of a completely fucked up environment. Not before she was pretty thoroughly messed up, but not as bad as her brother ended up. (They had different fathers.) Ugh. So horrifying.

Oh, that sucks. I noticed the other day that the Mercury Cafe on Chicago is gone now too.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Is there really much surviving vintage clothing from the late 16th/early 17th centuries?
What Connie said. But a few years ago, one of the museums on the D.C. Mall had a special exhibit of vintage Ottoman robes from the era, and even further back. Some lovely garments, I might add.
Damn. Nine is pretty young for a suicide, huh?
Nine is the youngest I've heard of. But several stories have made the news of schoolkids bullied so severely that they committed suicide. One example of a 12-year-old.
