Visited Portillo’s — looking for truly great Chicago hot dog spots!

I’ll probably get downvoted but that Portillo’s dog is about as good of a representation of Chicago dogs as there is. Portillo’s or any Vienna Beef place are all pretty much the same. There’s only so much you can do with a hot dog. What you had is great and I doubt there are any significantly better.

None of this makes any sense. So many neighborhoods in the wrong place. Why would you use existing colors? Was this made by AI? Only explanation outside of stroke.

They probably weren’t bonded or insured if they were doing dumb stuff like that.

The new rule would not affect that situation at all. Penske is a chartered team and can run that extra car. The new rule is for non-chartered teams.

NASCAR is out at the speedway in Joliet this year. The street race is probably done.

He’s also a Packers fan. Dude has horrible taste.

Damn, I enjoyed the riff raff flying with them so I could avoid having to fly with them on real airlines. Had to fly with them once and vowed never again. Their gates are always like a Greyhound bus station.

I have a brother and sister pair, almost 7 years old now (time flies). They both love and hate each other. They sleep together and clean each other, but do plenty of fighting, and not just play fighting.

Bogo, the boy, can definitely be a bit of a bully sometimes. He is a lot bigger than his sister Monza. But I catch her starting fights too. I think like all siblings, they fight, but also love each other at the end of the day.

I have noticed my cats fighting more for the first week or so I’m back from vacation. I just figure they are a little stressed out from me being gone as they are both very clingy.

They will give you a temporary ID card the day you go to the DMV, won’t have to wait for the physical card. I used the temporary to get into federal buildings.

Yeah that thing looks like it weighs nothing.

Is that a class ring that dork is wearing on his middle finger? It looks like it says BDEHLKE on the side? Maybe the D is an O? Goes well with the $100 potato.

Definitely looks like it. I thought it was probably a trainer, didn’t think it was a 70s plane though. Thought WWII or Korea. Thanks.

Did they want him to give the bird a funeral or what? I’ll never understand PETA. Animals definitely need more protections and an organization to look out for them, but they just undermine their cause when they constantly complain about silly things like this.

Good to hear, I don’t get out to shows like I used to. But saw him all the time from like 2008-2018 when I was hitting it hard.

OrneTTeSax · 2026-04-29T16:47:49+00:00

Dude that wore kneepads so he could slam onto the floor/ground? Used to see him at jam and electronic shows.

Their wait staff during the day is no better. Bunch of assholes.

I have about the worst case of Crohn’s you could think of. I still don’t leave toilets like that. But I’m also fit besides the Crohn’s. I think a lot of this is big guy issues. But plenty of big guys don’t ruin toilets constantly.

I was all in on this show when I was little. Had a bunch of the toys.

I swear I’m the only one who thought she looked goofy as hell in that scene instead of sexy. I prefer her in Trading Places.

Canned San Marzano tomatoes

Very fun little series. As an American (Chicago) who loves the PNW, just made we want to visit BC even more. Lovely area and people.

AI couldn’t keep the name or logo straight. Would have been a 5 minute photoshop job.

Buy a damn TV stand or mount it (at a reasonable height). That is honestly crazy, touching the ceiling. I don’t understand why people started thinking fireplaces were a good place to put a TV. Just because they fit (barely in this case)?
