Anyone know of a reasonable place to buy carpet and have it installed in the Chicago area? Home Depot gave us an initial quote...and then gave us an final quote that was 50% higher.

That's what you get for going second-class. You should have called Empire.

For the same reason that car dealerships always used to have catchy addresses. For instance, I bet that you can tell me exactly what business used to be located at 3535 North, on Ashland Avenue.

But what about the creepy guy in the Feldco commercials? He looks like he's going to jump out of the screen and murder you with those crazy eyes.

He scares me too. Whenever that commercial comes on, I change the channel.

Actually probably not. I've only been here since '93, though I did watch a lot of Bozo, Ray Rayner and the Cubs (gasp) on cable as a kid.

Is that near Weinman Ford?

That IS Bert Weinman Ford. When I was a kid, WGN always showed Abbott & Costello, Little Rascals,Sherlock Holmes, or Charlie Chan movies on Sunday mornings for the children of the Godless and the Jews. They had some old dude, whose name escapes me now, who was the spokesman for Bert Weinman Ford.

is on its second day here in my building. Do I have a duty to warn them or can I just let them make the same mistake we all did?


(I couldn't resist walking up to one at lunch with panic in my eyes and asking em what the Rule Against Perpetuities is.)
