Who eats soup when it's like, 90 degrees outside? Sheesh. Hey lady at the booth next to me - go get a popsicle! Not soup!
Anyway, tomorrow Elizabeth and I are headed off to the big city. Yep, Chitown bay-bee! Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin' town. I love Chicago. It's a great city. Lots of people who don't smile, lots of funky smells coming from underneath the El, lots of overpriced stores...I mean, what's not to love? :)
We're actually going in for the Body Worlds exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry. It looks like it's going to be pretty awesome. We're both science-minded (we dissected a cat together in Anatomy/Physiology class in high school), so we're pumped. Turns out Taste of Chicago is also going down now. Woo hoo! It also turns out someone got shot at Taste of Chicago yesterday. Like that's any different than in Rockford. We're up to 11 homicides this year. Oy. Anyway, on a different note...I am excited for the exhibit. If you want to see pictures, look here: http://www.msichicago.org/bodyworlds/index.html
We might stop by Sister Mary Emily's sister's candle joint while in there...she said it's near the El. Woot.
And now for the random thing of the day...straight from the "Moron" column in the Rockford, Illinois newspaper, I bring you this news article. (Ok, I can't find it on the internet, but I assure you, it's real...I read it this morning).
Woman arrested after dropping crack pipe
Rockford--A woman standing next to a police officer reportedly dropped her crack pipe, then declared "Oh my, I seem to have dropped my crack pipe". At this, the policeman investigated and discovered that not only did the woman have a crack pipe but other drug paraphernalia on her person. When taken into custody, the woman was found to have a crack rock stowed away in her mouth.
This news story brought to you by the Institute for Hopelessly Moronic.
WHAT?! Who seriously DROPS their crack pipe in front of a cop and THEN says OUT LOUD that they have dropped their crack pipe? Like, seriously...what? Only in Rockford. What a moron. It reminds me of the line in Billy Joel's song "Only the Good Die Young" about "laugh with the sinners...the sinners are much more fun"...because seriously...this sort of thing doesn't happen to normal people.
So on a funny note...I was watching Jeff Foxworthy's stand up on Comedy Central the other night, and he made a joke about how any time anything is missing it's because it was stolen. And he related a story about how the remote control was missing at his house, so he automatically assumed it was stolen. And his wife mocked him saying, "Yes, honey. Someone broke into the house, bypassed the jewelry and valuables, and stole your remote", to which he was like "See? I told you!"...yeah, that reminds me of my dad. His gas cap from his gas tank on his truck was missing, and he swore that some moron stole it from him. He went out to by a gas cap with a lock on it. My mom just sat and laughed about how ridiculous that is. Who the hell would steal a gas cap off of a little Nissan truck? Seriously. He didn't end up getting the lock one, though...I think he was afraid of the key being stolen. Boy would he be in deep then. ;) P.S. I guarantee you he took the gas cap off at the gas station and LEFT IT THERE. What a dorkie.
And with that, I close. Have a great day, everyone. And remember to laugh at the silliness of life!
Pax et veritas!
I heart Jeff Foxworthy jokes that remind me of my dad.
