Women, booze, dice and cards
2012-01-17 06:00:00 It began as a coal and railroad center at the turn of the 20th century in an area fabulously wealthy in natural resources. The only way in and out of the town of five hundred hardy souls was via the railroad as there were no roads in those days. Women, booze, dice and cards were ...

Sex, booze, sleep and overtime at Cook County waterparks
2011-03-28 17:00:00 At risk of getting thrown out of my house: Where do I apply??!? Last summer, the Cook County Park District was the place to work. Particularly the Cermak Aquatics Center in Lyons, Illinois, according to a Cook County Inspector General report issued last Friday. Apparently this particular pool more resembled the movie Caddyshack, where employees drank alcohol, slept alone or slept with others while on the job.

Holiday funk - cures besides booze?
2010-11-29 04:56:00 I love Christmas. Seriously. You know I mailed my much-obsessed-over cards the day before Thanksgiving (hey, the mail had already gone out, it was totally fair game) and of course my tree is up and shining two days later. And yet . . . I'm in a funk. If I'm not blog posting, you know it's bad. Help!Possible reasons for my holiday funk and perhaps funks in general:- Family drama. My mother canceled Christmas (again). This one is actually not that big of a deal since she always cancels Christmas. Truthfully, it's more of a holiday tradition to open our gifts in April once whatever it is has blown over. This time she's mad that I referred to myself as...
Song of the Day - "How Much I Booze" by The Who
2010-09-12 18:59:00 by lpcdsounds"However Much I Booze" by The Who from the 1975 album "The Who By Numbers." Here we have Pete Townshend looking in the mirror and not liking what he sees. "I see myself on TV. I'm a faker...a paper clown..." I've got to admit...I haven't liked what I've seen from ol' Petey since 1980...so touché! But there was a time when The Who ruled...and it was during the mid '70s when they were considered rock Gods and at the top of their game. I find that this album holds up quite nicely today...even the song "Squeeze Box" which at best is a trite novelty. And as for "The Who"...or "The Two" today...they should have given it up the day...
Boobs, booze and botox - Chicago's first reality show!
2010-09-01 15:30:00 Speaking of TV, last night I had the opportunity to attend a pre-screeing of the pilot episode of Chicago's first reality show, Plastic Royalty, at Tribecca Flashpoint Academy. During cocktail hour, a strangely familiar voice caught my attention. I looked over to see a man who looked like "California" Santa with ice blue eyes. It was Dr. Leon Forrester Tcheupdjian, or "Dr. T" as he is known to his patients. The radio commercials he does for his plastic surgery business are legendary in Chicago and here he was, in the flesh! At his side was Leslie Forrester, an instantly likable kid who schooled me on spray tanning and admitted to me she was 35. (Impossible!) These are the stars of...
Should we beware of the Booze?
2010-08-25 14:56:00 I find that frequently, people can talk themselves into anything, and I see many people talking themselves into the idea that Carlos Boozer was the big man we wanted all along or that we were blessed to miss out on Bosh and get Boozer instead. Let me asure you, that is most certainly not the case. If we wanted Boozer all along, then we wouldn't have waited for Bosh to say no before signing him....
Lollapalooza cocktails: Lady Gaga-inspired booze at the Gage
2010-08-07 00:04:00 When I talked to the Gage's manager Terry McNeese this afternoon, I could barely hear him over the bustle of voices in the background. "I'm here with hundreds of Lolla fans!" he said. If you're stopping in at the Gage before or after hitting up Lolla nearby, take note of these two fun cocktails ($12 each) they're featuring in honor of the fest. I can't decide which I'd like to drink more, personally: The Poparockzzi: This homage to Lady Gaga features Skyy vodka and homemade grenadine with muddled raspberries and blackberries, served on ice in a glass rimmed with Pop Rocks (pictured).The Perry Farrell: Named after the fest's founder and Jane's Addiction frontman, this is Sauza blanco tequila with lemon...

Wirtz lawsuit over booze tax hike holds up CTA capital dollars
2009-12-02 13:00:00 A lawsuit challenging the increased state tax on beer, wine and liquor is keeping the state from issuing bonds to fund almost $1 billion in CTA capital improvementsEarlier this year the legislature passed a $31 billion capital spending plan, with about $900 million earmarked for the CTA. But Rocky Wirtz owner of the Blackhawks and one of the country's largest beer and liquor distributors, promptly sued, saying the bill "rolls too many subjects into one bill and fails to adhere to a uniformity clause," according to a Crain's story.At Monday's Red and Purple line vision session I asked State Sen. Heather Steans the status of the funds. She said the Wirtz lawsuit is keeping the stte from issuing bonds to...

Eddie Van Halen: I'm done with booze
2009-06-03 00:07:00 Tortured, no. I started drinking when I was 12 years old because I was nervous. And my dad gave me a shot of vodka and it was a wonder drug. It really worked for a lot of years. But I certainly didn't drink to make music or to write. It had nothing to do with it. I just get nervous. I'm nervous now. But I stopped drinking over a year ago, and I'm done with it. For 42 years, I drank. It just shows... This is a content summary only. Visit Truth In Shredding to find out more!
Will PGA Tour booze throw Daly off the wagon? Also, Haney grip tip and Harm
2009-05-12 15:34:00 Click here to listen.PGA Tour title sponsor negotiations are in high gear as a number of agreements will expire in 2010. With a current bailout of six mainstays and a weakened economy looming, options are dwindling despite the aggressive efforts of Tim Finchem.Crowne Plaza is the most recent sponsor to jump ship two years before its scheduled exit date and takes along with it seven million dollars in endorsement and media commitments. FBR and Ginn are two additional casualties leaving Tim Finchem to bemoan, "We've obviously had, and are having, some bumps in the road." Temporary declines in attendance also hurt the tour and were to some degree caused by the 2008 absence of Tiger Woods but, since his return, that ship has righted itself.There are also corporations eager to extend the life of their sponsorship deals as well as new deals on the horizon, forcing Commissioner Finchem to think outside the box when considering any and all offers.New ideas to help soften a hard-hit Tour?

Booze before Brownies?
2008-05-07 00:00:00 This has been a real shit day ! It started with the alarm going off an hour late because we forgot to set it last night and it hasn?t gotten any better. To make this day last even longer I have to take Allison to a Brownie meeting this evening from 6:30 to 7:30 and I have no way of getting out of it. Not when my daughter is this weeks troop speaker and has plans to talk all about her trip to Europe. I guess it would make me a pretty bad mom if I made her miss that because I am having a bad day. How bad of a mom would I be if I showed up at Brownies smelling of booze? Would that be any better? Nah, I guess I can suck it up and race home and get my self together, splash some water on my face and throw some jeans on before her meeting. She only has one more meeting after tonight and then the troop is done for the year.
