Think the second round is scientology

huh decent categories for me

weird, I'm listening to the new Action Bronson tape and he just referenced Scientology

so we have video games and scientology?
i hope you guys are ready for me to prematurely shout out BARRY PEPPER if he is the correct answer to any question

so we've got me, amanda, askance johnson and possibly mrs. askance johnson? anyone else? i'll aim to be there around 7:30.

i'm not an expert on video games or scientology but i know a little about each. i like playing video games and i've read a few books about scientology.

our team name can be barry pepper.

I'll be at the Hawks game, good luck yall.

I'm OUT.

I am in. I have an appt until 745 so I will just make it in time. Hopefully my Scientology studies in college will pay off!
Xp

Only two issues a year of The Chicagoan , so not like a crazy investment.

I'll be there at ~7:30; probably Mrs. Johnson too.

I think I'm going to buy The Chicagoan for the library next time I see it.

i'll try to get there between 7:30-45 (i say try because i may ride my bike if i feel like it and all times are approximate when you are dealing with moi)

Is there a The Chicagoan app?

Jeff. No. Not here.

I will be there. I don't know what time.

I saw an ad on the train for a bedbugs app. Talk about warning signs!

Is there a The Chicagoan app?

There will be, apparently:

The Chicagoan website will contain daily, literary and in-depth coverage of the people, places and events that define the city and region’s newscycle. All of this material will also be delivered to smart phones via our app.

That's great! More mags should do it.

I feel like that is providing keen insight into something, but I just can't figure out what.

Yeh IDK. I just remembered that one or the other of them had said "physical media forever" and it turned out that the BOTH thems had said it.

I have no idea how to dress now that it's warm

tank top, shorts. And uggs.

I dressed perfectly this morning... for this afternoon's temperatures. Then I nearly froze while waiting 15 minutes in the shade for a bus at 8 am. ;_;

I basically need a rucksack of wardrobe options with me at all times. It is the only way.

It would need socks, tights, snow boots, galoshes, flats, light scarf, medium scarf, light gloves, medium gloves, hat, umbrella, rain coat, puffy coat, medium coat, and a second pair of socks in case the first ones get wet.

I dressed right. Definitely still a jacket day. I'll continue to wear a jacket outside until may at least.

Naturally I read that as "nutsack".

I wore a long sleeve shirt today b/c I wear don't change what I wear based on weather for the most part (except outerwear, of course). Wore my thin hoodie and an invisible nutsack of male privilege.

I grew irrationally envious of Jeff this morning when he dressed the way he always dresses, selected an appropriate weight jacket, and left without much fanfare. While I'm like "skirt? pants? tights? leggings? socks? long sleeves? short sleeves? cardigan? short-sleeved cardigan? light jacket? light scarf? put a hat in my purse? wear my purse as a hat?"

I'm in the mood to fight. Not to pick a fight, but to fight for justice. Physically. To stick my head up my ass and fight for justice.

Check for butt cancer while you're up there.

I am on the mend, but it's slow. I think it was food poisoning, since Kr and I were both struck within hours of each other on Monday night. No fun.

How did the pub quizzers do?

weird, my roommate had food poisoning on the same night. maybe you ate at the same place.

very tough pub quiz last night for our team "barry pepper's lonely farts club band" - we were in first place for almost the entire game, then fell to third in the very last round, but the first place team won by only one point and there were three teams (including us) tied for second place, so we ended up in third based only on the impossible tie-breaker question. if we had gotten even one more correct answer in the final round we would have come in first. but i was very impressed with our performance overall - a perfect round on "finish the lyrics" for "sunday bloody sunday," we got almost every question right in the pretty tough Scientology round (thanks to courtnoodle's expertise), got 6 bonus points in Chemical States for guessing the theme with only three answers, etc. it was really just General Knowledge that fucked us, including a stupid 8-point Simpsons question.

I am guessing it was the whitefish we bought from Whole Foods.

a stupid 8-point Simpsons question.

This would've enraged me.

we even tried to answer it strategically. it was from the australia episode, what does bart have written on his butt when he moons the australians. since he was giving 2 points for each correct word, we guessed something like "america the down flag" or something like that, trying to even get one word correct by hedging our bets. but it was "don't tread on me." there was another simpsons question in the video games round (which i got) and the tiebreaker was also partially simpsons-based.

all of my impassioned overzealous middle school U2 listening really paid off, finally!

NO WAR
NO NUKES
NO ANIMAL TESTING
NO ELECTROCONVULSIVE THERAPY

...although I would have gotten it right all joking aside

Next team name: C-UNIT

spring fever violence has started btw :(
all kinds of shitty stuff going down in the gritty city

I don't know if any of you ever follow Second City Cop anymore, but theres an interesting post today about a new CPD General Order that sounds like its taking aim squarely at said blog.

I lol in their general direction

Interesting, but I seem to draw any conclusions b/c I find him distasteful....

While I was on the blog, I saw this

Eavesdropping Law Struck Down

We had a feeling this was headed this direction:

A Cook County judge today ruled the state’s controversial eavesdropping law unconstitutional.
The law makes it a felony offense to make audio recordings of police officers without their consent even when they’re performing their public duties.
Judge Stanley Sacks, who is assigned to the Criminal Courts Building, found the eavesdropping law unconstitutional because it potentially criminalizes “wholly innocent conduct.”

So as citizens, we can record just about anything now? Turnabout is fair play we've heard.

Jesus H.

HEY COPS if you didn't do anything wrong, what do you have to worry about??!?!?!?!?
