Additional material from Hesiod, Euripides and Sophocles almost certainly await discovery."

We have differing "cool" threshholds.

I said "coolest", not "cool." Is there some other news from the ancient world that I missed?

Actually, I think that's pretty cool.

You bitch about TV, you bitch about historical finds. Christ.

You're missing the real story --- Ratzinger was a POW in an American camp. As it was, the Islamofacists at Gitmo only had Bob Crane to look up to, in the hope that someday they too might become sex addicts, die in a Scottsdale garage, and eventually be played by Greg Kinnear. Now they can become the fucking Pope. All of our torture methods are now for shit --- they'll all be fucking St. Sebastian shot through with arrows. All they did was weaken a country today. Motherfuck.

I don't know whether you deserve scorn for mocking the new Pope* or props for an unnecessary yet brilliant Hogan's Heroes reference.


* I'm bitter. I was supposed to be Pope.

Oh what the hell.

1. Pepe's
2. Modern
3. Sally's
4. Bar
5. Everything else
6. Domino's
7. Yorkside/Broadway (not sure if Broadway is still around).

At Pennypacker you could always tell who was dumb and who was smart by whether they showed up for the Pinocchio's delivery guy of the Loker's.

Police are going to file charges against the two fans who scuffled with Sheffield. They have also lost their season tickets and been barred from purchasing any others.

And now that they tapped old Ratso Rizzo Ratzinger they won't pick another Kraut for 500 years. Tough luck.

In college I came home late one night and my apartment was full of smoke. Stoner roommate had put a frozen za in the oven then passed out. I pulled the charred remains from the oven and opened the window. looking at the pizza I could see the "cheese" strips were intact- that is they didn't melt. I have not eaten a frozen pizza since.

I've done this. It was a DiGiorno rising crust pizza that cooked from perhaps 2:15 until I woke up at maybe 7:30 to not being able to see three inches in front of my face. The pizza looked like a solid black disk. SOLID BLACK. I was still really hungry, though I opted to not eat the charred pizza remains. I have photos of it though. It flew pretty well also, when the wind caught it right. Good times, good times. I was not stoned though.

You, sir, have the boorish syntax of a Yalie.

It's still okay for me to send you a picture of my steak, right?

I'd prefer streaming video.

I do not cook. What is something easy but reasonably impressive that I can cook for Commando Boy?

[ThurgreedMarshall]

What's the best steakhouse in Chicago (aside from the chains like Wollensky's and Ruth's Chris, etc.)? Is the Chop House the place to be? Or is there something better?

And what's the name of the greasy sandwich place that's supposed to be so good? I need answers. Lay it on me.
