...what CHICAGO would sound like in your backyard?

Well, if you came over to my place, tonight, you would've found out.

I love living here.

Your geography is *way* off, Ipsy.

Zing.

Oh, it's a zinger, all right. It's not Post of the Day worthy, but it zings.

My description of Musil's Man Without Qualities was Post of the Day worthy, but I decided to show some humility for a change.

There's a first time for everything, I suppose.

ZING for ME!

Anyway, Chicago was playing at the Plain Dealer Pavilion in Cleveland, last night, which is right across the river from me. We opened the windows and got treated to a free show. Pretty awesome.

You had to go and elaborate, didn't you?

I was pretty sure my first response communicated the board's general disinterest in your free concert, but . . .

So how much longer is your sister going to be staying with you? If you keep on speaking in "we" terms, some member might trip up and make the mistake of thinking you are referring to a paramour.

Preposterous, I know. But still. We see "we" applied to IRL situations, and we either assume you are talking about your chick or that you are misspelling the name of the console competing with that piece of shit on which you wasted your Best Buy credit.

:P

From above, Chicago looks like a conjoined twin in the KKK.

You really don't care?

But I drew a map.

My sister left, already. Back to the desert. "We" in this case, is my roommate.

Incidentally, you cannot place the GoogleMap Streetview dude-guy(tm) on the street that goes past my window. W. 9th, or W. 10th, yes, but not W. St. Clair.

Weird.

I guess it's for the best, though...

Did you see my "conjoined twin" edit?

Making fun of conjoined twins is funny.

When you say "roommate," do you mean "roommate" or "roommate"?

I did. But not soon enough.

By "roommate," I mean whichever is the not-gay one.

I'm working on the girl situation! I don't wanna talk about it!

Dude, that is so awesome! To be able to hear "Color My World" over and over and over......

In the words of Fletch, "God I envy you."

Way back when I lived in Mannheim, the University of Mannheim held an Elton John concert in the castle court. (The university is a converted castle.)

It was a pay concert, so they covered the bars separating the castle court from the outside world with tarps. The sound was traveling loud and clear right over the bars, naturally, and the awesome power of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" (the concert opener) possessed a group of Mannheimer youths to rip the tarps down (through the bars, since the tarps had been put up on the inside).

We all got a free Elton John concert, which was pretty sweet. A live feed of his performance (face, hands, body, rinse, repeat) was being projected on a thirty-foot screen, too, so we all felt like we had a front row seat. A front row seat to a man who looked like he was performing behind prison bars, but a front row seat, nonetheless.

So, for all the grief you gave me, yesterday, you know exactly what I meant, all along?

I hate you.

I only know what you meant if Peter Cetera wasn't on lead vocals.

If he was, I sorta pity you.

I hate you.

Did they play "Stay The Night"?

I'm not sure. We only caught the end of the concert, and I couldn't make it out well enough to tell you what songs we heard.

Lotsa hate fer Ol' Thursty in this here thread.

You expected otherwise?
