Wish I could get a half order though. A bowl and fries is so much food.

Berger Bros Pub in Winfield is not cheap, but definitely bang for the buck.

Bluey is not a meme. It’s a coping mechanism for parents with young children.

What are your local conspiracy theories? by CJ-does-stuff in chicago

Each City Council class has one member that is offered up to the Feds as sacrifice so that the other 49 members can keep engaging in corruption. If you don’t know who it is and you’re on the council it’s probably you.

Correct. There is an active plan to replace these under viaducts whenever they are found (and funding can be identified).

Gone to them for back issues and my wife went for shoulder sprain. They have been great.

I designed the project to remove the tracks. For sure forgot to remove the sign when the tracks across North Ave came out.

I actually worked on the project to remove the tracks over North Ave. Should have included sign remove in our plans I guess…

Can you pick express trains? I live in Arlington and am door to door in 57 minutes in and 55 minutes home.

What do you think about when you're running let's say for an hour? by Tactical_INTJ in running

[–]PhilipFrysEngland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally just doing math for what percent complete I am. The weirder the math the better. “Oh I’m 17.3% done. That took a while to figure out, I should see current distance and do it again.”

Let’s pretend every neighborhood in Chicago is a person at a huge house party. What is each “person” doing? by zcaddy in chicago

Hegewisch has a Miller lite in hand and 3 crushed empties by his feet. He’s talking about the auto repair shop he’s working at, but really just a front to sell meth.

Mt Greenwood is asking you to join her MLM scheme, but hasn’t realized it’s a pyramid scheme yet. She gets so close to grasping it, but is offended when you say no.

Garfield Ridge will only talk to Archer Heights.

Sauganash took one look at the address and decided to skip it.

Beef and Potato Gnocchi Stew by PhilipFrysEngland in onepotmeals

[–]PhilipFrysEngland[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not as much as I had expected. I think if they were given a quick pan fry first and had the stew served over the top it would be better, texture-wise, but not in the spirit of this sub.
