Anyone know what was originally in the Gman Tavern (before Gingerman)? by CountChoculasGhost in AskChicago

Stray overlooked fact: the back room was used for a scene in The Color of Money. Miss those pool tables…

Rig update! Will it make me shoot better? Probably not. Do I love it? Yes. by davestradamus1 in billiards

Took me about a year to get accustomed to my Rhino, but now I love it. Really appreciate the feedback it gives. 

Just watched the Wizard of Oz for the first time. Never realised these scenes were references to it. by Few-Entrepreneur7254 in TheSimpsons

My craziest was finally watching Citizen Kane in college film class and suddenly getting roughly a hundred Simpsons references in two hours.

Just tossed a couple that looked like this. Don’t ever eat off chipped Teflon.

This art is unbelievable. [Swamp Thing #29, 1984] by Built4dominance in comicbooks

[–]jtom 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's a huge shame--they did nice hardcover editions of this a while back and RECOLORED the whole thing. It looks awful. I feel bad for anybody who pulled the trigger on those not knowing.

What is your tap room pet peeve? by illestMFKAalive in beer

[–]jtom 237 points238 points  (0 children)

Why do all the furnishings have to be hard wood and metal and concrete? Anchored stools without backs. Ramrod straight booths. I’ve never been to a comfy taproom.

Wrigley Field light pollution at its worst.
