On Real America, with Abe Sauer: The Last Game of Baseball in the Metrodome
1. The food.
2. Section 113 where we will always tell the opposing teams right fielder that they suck, not their team - just them.
3. We're getting *some* personality. The ghost of Veeck seems to be coming by more often. Dog Day, Elvis Night, Mullet Night, Polish Night, Greek Night, Buffet Night, Beatles Night - basically if you want a night you just need to call the place. They'll shoot off fireworks and play some music for you. Mullet night also includes free haircuts in the
4. Ozzie Guillen and his crazy talk - always entertaining.

As a White Sox fan I can only say - PRAISE JEEBUS!
I hate that dome. What a horrific place to play baseball.

On Olympics: Chicago Out Early
Oh Daley and his vanity. This pretty much confirms the move to NOLA. No more jobs left around here. It's like NY or something...
I am considering moving to a town that destroyed by a hurricane because the cost of living corruption-ville, IL is too expensive. Crap - it's the midwest people, aren't we supposed to have values or something?? Fuck it - i'm going for decadence and David Simon.

On Of Hall and Oates and Montreal
I am angry about this H&O resurrection. My father used to drive down the street with 'Maneater' blaring (volume & bass turned all the way up). I get that they're talented, but waves of childhood embarassment come rolling back. Why the coolness now? Why can't I just run away from my childhood?
Why?

I am 34 years old. I puked on my boyfriend last Saturday night.
Again, I am 34 years old and I thought red wine and tequila shots could go together. Does dementia start at 34?

I will join the chorus of charming - especially the Trapper Keeper reference.
I do miss school supply shopping...

On Help Me Prevaricate With My Physician
Internists are all alcoholics anyway. They don't make enough money to be happy. My doc used to bum smokes off of me. If the appt took you 2 months to get, it's a physical and Mr. MD will talk to you for a bit. We talk about boys. You will get scary tests. You will panic until the results come. You will be fine.
I have been admitted to the hospital for appendix cancer (the stupidest cancer ever) and a stroke workup in the past few years and none of it came from my physicals. It was all things that no one in their right mind would look for.
Internests are safe - specialists are the crazy ass ones that will keep you waiting and never give you a straight answer. Stay away from them and any university medical system (I cannot recommend Northwestern, they have too much of my money, god damn grubby rich people without anything better to do than make my chart bigger and ruin my credit).
Good luck with the appt.

Wasn't she a witness at the Doonan/Adler wedding?
Ms. Levy is the bomb.

On Insanely Gay Gays Unexpectedly Charming, Thanks To Lesbian
I gave in and read "Beautiful People" and "Wacky Chics" last week. Both of the books are great. Damn you Doonan! I do not need any more fuel to support my insane rants regarding the end of feminism (as evidenced by 'The Bachelorette' and 'Gray's Anatomy') and the evils of Wal Mart.

To clarify - Mullet night includes free haircuts in the center field concourse - mullets only.
