Signs, shouts and Krusty II

^
The Bald Truth

Sign in the window of Amigos & Us, a funky store on Clark about four blocks south of Wrigley:

CUBS STUFF
20% OFF

SORIANO STUFF
40% OFF

Though there wasn't another sign, I'm pretty sure they would have paid me to take their Bradley stuff.

The Balder Truth

Words screamed by an irate fan at The Cell yesterday:

"Hey Ozzie! Typical Sunday afternoon White Sox, huh?"

Maybe the dude was drunk. And maybe he was a loud jerk with the social skills of a goat. Still, his point had merit.

The Sox have lost their last 6 Sunday games, are 6-16 on Sundays this season and are 2-9 in Sunday home games.

If not for Sundays, Ozzie's lads would had a comfortable division lead. Damn schedule-maker.

THE BALDEST TRUTH

The missus and I walked downtown the other day to grab a bite to eat and catch a movie. As we walked on a side street from the theater to the restaurant, a Good Humor truck pulled up and parked fairly close to us.

The driver got out, but not without a great struggle. He grunted and groaned and, to us, sounded kind of like Krusty the Clown. So, of course, we chuckled.

Seeing our reaction, he yelled (again as Krusty might have):

"You think being an ice cream vendor is easy? (pause) Try it!!"

He was not laughing, but we were. Quite hyterically, in fact. However, just in case he was packing an AK-47 and was about to scream: "I GOT YOUR GOOD HUMOR RIGHT HERE!" ... we picked up the pace and high-tailed it out of there.

Can't beat fun in the big city.

  1. You were in Sally Jenkins' column in the Washington Post this past weekend in reference to the Erin Andrews peephole incident. Jenkins mentioned your comment from last year when Andrews was at Wrigley Field. Any publicity, right? Your column/blog rocks...it's part of my every day reading!!

    For what it's worth, I was in my busy time at work. Had a week's worth of newspaper reading to catch up on. Ordinarily, I'd blow it off, but I didn't. I still believe, even if the news is a week old, it's still worth reading. Keep fighting the good fight!!
