Cool Christmas gifts from my childhood
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. I was talking with a friend of mine recently, and we were remembering some of the more thoughtful and cool gifts that we have either given or received thru the years. Both of us lamented the fact that unfortunately most people don’t put a hell of a lot of thought into […]
Another enjoyable Thanksgiving
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya…….. Before I get into yesterday’s relaxing (and delicious) holiday, I just have one last warning to offer you NOT TO MISS the show tomorrow night for the Dick Ourada Band. The show starts at 9pm up at the bar in the Rolling Lanes bowling alley on Joliet Road in Countryside. They […]
It’s a big party night & a big fundraiser night too
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. Tomorrow night, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, is now widely acknowledged as perhaps the most popular night of the year for people to go out. I first heard this in the early ’90s when I was a regular on the bar/party scene. I didn’t hear it so much when I first starting going […]
Memories of Thanksgiving
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……….. So Thanksgiving is just a few days away now. I haven’t really mentioned it much, but I like Thanksgiving as much as the next guy. Hanging out with the family, a huge meal, football all day. Having the day off work if you still have a job these days. The whole nine […]
The Chicago Bears…and then a true hero
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. For the second time in 14 calender days yesterday afternoon, the Chicago Bears looked like they could use a hero. In what seemed like a rerun of the game against Cincinnati two weeks earlier, they got pummeled by a rather mediocre team. Yeah, the Arizona Cardinals made the Super Bowl last year, […]
The Dirty Dozen
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. I had to pat myself on the back last night after Mariano Rivera recorded the last out for the Yankees for them to win the World Series. Did I call this one pretty good or what? In earlier posts, I predicted the Yankees win it in 6. They did. I predicted […]
Updates……We Got Updates Here…..Get your ice-cold updates !!!
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. The Bears tried to save a little face yesterday against the hapless Cleveland Browns and accomplished that goal—-a little bit. I didn’t think there could be a worse team in football than the Detroit Lions after we played them. But Cleveland sucks pretty bad too. And despite the Bears easy victory, […]
World Series a Match-up of the True Best
Dude, I’m tellin ya………. So tonite is the start of the World Series. Even though I’m a rabid baseball fan, I’ve never gotten too excited about the Series. I kind of like the playoffs themselves a little better than the World Series. And even the playoffs don’t grab me if one of the two Chicago […]
A more pathetic display I’ve never seen…….
Dude, I’m tellin ya…………. First off, I want to send my deepest condolences out to the family of one of my very best friends. They lost a close member of their family this past weekend and obviously are in serious mourning. My thoughts are with all of you guys and I’m so sorry for your […]
