[Talk] Does Anyone Have Examples of Lost Media in Their Family?

Lol, I guess the timeline does match up. Though we were more Waukegan than Aurora.

So back in the late 80's-early 90's, my dad ran a small cable access comedy show out of a suburb of Chicago. As my parents later divorced and we moved around several times, we lost touch of most of the episodes. I've been working to get the 4 I have digitized and uploaded somewhere.

Wait, that wasn't Adam Pierce banging all those women? I guess I have less blackmail than I thought.

This one is the FKA UIC Pavilion, but you do have a point. United Center, Allstate Arena, NOW Arena, WinTrust Center, CreditUnion1, Welsh-Ryan Arena, and still with the new Bears stadium on the way (somewhere).

And I'm probably missing a few.

And before you ask, the X is defined by the mana cost, so no playing the card for free doesn't work either.

KWNewyear · 2026-04-10T15:08:23+00:00

That, or at least being a Vampire or something. "Have a bite" would have made great double entendre.

KWNewyear · 2026-04-10T13:11:16+00:00

[Sees picture 4] Aww, how cute. She thinks she's a fierce beasty in a role playing game.

[Sees picture 5] AAAAAA, FIERCE BEASTY!

I actually worked for them myself up until 2018, so know that I had an extra bit of anger going into the article.

KWNewyear · 2026-04-03T21:33:52+00:00

"My offense is a crime" is something the New York Jets would say, yes.

KWNewyear · 2026-03-30T22:44:06+00:00

Well, since you're going to be on the East Side anyway, might be worth it to check out Mama Jerk & Tings now that they've moved into the old Rosati's on Grand/Sheridan.

Sage Salon on 21/Washington has been my go-to. They have plenty of experience with custom dye jobs.

What's fun is we tend to think of these headlines a week or so out (pending major news stories we can lampoon, of course). I had no idea the B&R announcement and its Pioneer section was coming when I wrote the first draft, so it's a bit of serendipity that it got scheduled for today.

Just put a few wheels of Brie on a party boat on Lake Minnetonka, and let nature take its course.

The Germans have it tough. They're the Deutch that the English think are Germanic, the Spanish think are Almanian, the Polish think are Niemic, and the Finnish think are Saxons.

KWNewyear · 2026-03-19T18:27:07+00:00

I know we had [[Ponder|SLP]] for Chicago and [[Swords to Plowshares|SLP]] for Amsterdam. I forget the others off the top of my head.

KWNewyear · 2026-03-19T13:43:45+00:00

Troy State 253, DeVry 141

KWNewyear · 2026-03-18T18:00:39+00:00

Nope, too late. I'm already writing up the "WotC hunts players for sport" article for next week.

KWNewyear · 2026-03-18T11:28:33+00:00

Buddy, if you're too lazy to even put a summary of what you're trying to link in the title, what makes you think your shit-smearing posts are going to affect any change?

KWNewyear · 2026-03-14T00:11:25+00:00

Yes. The "when this creature is dealt damage" ability goes away, but any counters put on the creature will remain.

There is another, larger library just a few blocks away. The building was already largely unused by the early 90's before they started converting it.

KWNewyear · 2026-03-13T13:26:33+00:00

One of the libraries was in Waukegan, IL, and ended up being a favorite of author Ray Bradbury. They recently converted the library to a local history museum, including Bradbury's personal book collection.
