According a a news report, "A spokesman for Willis Tower told the Chicago Sun Times that what cracked was a protective coating on the glass structure and not the glass itself. The spokesman said the protective coating worked exactly how it was supposed to work."
You'll forgive me if I stay here holding onto my desk.
NOPE
ReplyDeleteNOT AT ALL
NO NO NO
HORROR
I'm tired of getting ripped off.

My stepdaughter graduated elementary school today. So I sat in my old junior high gymnasium for an hour and a half. They still haven't retired my jersey. Pretty disappointing.
ReplyDeletesend us a picture of you in that jersey. we'll have an online retirement ceremony here.
ReplyDeletewillis tower ledge is one of our planned cross country stops -- just reading about it with the kids last night. this will add some excitement.
ReplyDeleteIf GTB was a hoops team, who'd play what position?
ReplyDeleteIf GTB were a hoops team... Very sorry.
ReplyDeleteI'd obviously be the gm and backup point guard
ReplyDeleteI'd form the head.
ReplyDeleteTeedge is the quimby.
ReplyDeleteI'd be the 9th man
ReplyDeleteI am indeed the man in the middle
ReplyDeleteI now owe the US Department of Education $0. Stop by zhome and do shots with me tonight.
ReplyDeleterob could play pint guard.
ReplyDeleteor smallest forward.
ReplyDeletezman could be the centre.
ReplyDeletei will play shooting tard.
ReplyDeletei am drinking coffee right now and it's making me really funny!
ReplyDeleteThe Redskins just proved once again they should be banned from using the tweet machine. Like, forever.
ReplyDeleteBlue Falcon loves WWE stock down here at $11/shr.
ReplyDeleteI thought I was the only person who got the Washington Football Team email about sending an email to Senator Harry Reid. Apparently the organization has not read any of my responses or they probably would not be asking me to share my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteIf GTB were a hoops team, I think I would be the Director of Player Programs, or Chief Marcom Officer. Definitely an off-the-court job.
ReplyDeleteNone of the hoops jokes were very funny. Pint guard was close.
ReplyDeleteAnd really I say that because I was envisioning who's play what of we really got out there.
ReplyDeleteWhich we won't.
I'm really lost with the young kid's lingo these days. What time did you start drinking Clarence L? Full disclosure I faacked off out of gridlock traffic and bellied up.
ReplyDeleteI played the 3 for the nicks.
ReplyDeleteI'm drinking Sweetwater IPA. Not bad.
ReplyDeleteI played center for the Nicks. Led the team in rebounds, largely because the next tallest guy (Dave) was 5'8".
i played center for the nicks, you tool. you played point guard. and you had to double all my stats because i only played half a game (foul troubles).
ReplyDeleteshooting tard and smallest forward were both really funny, and zman found centre funny bc he reads sentence of dave diligently.
had sweetwater ipa in florida and liked it.
You played center sophomore year when you were the tallest guy on the team. I played for the Dodos that year, then they went extinct. Amazingly, I didn't see that coming, so then I signed a lucrative deal (6 Milwaukee's Best and 9 Mickey's) to play with the Nicks. And then we started winning games.
ReplyDeletebecause i ran the offense like a finely tuned machine
ReplyDeletetodd boehly mentioned in an espn story as part of geffen's bid group for the clippers. woulda tried harder to befriend that kid when i lived with him
ReplyDeletehad i known he was gonna be insanely wealthy. instead, i got stoned and played frisbee golf.
My mother in law is trying to show off the new bras she bought today at the dinner table. Get me out of here, please!
ReplyDeleteShow them off by wearing them?
ReplyDeleteI stayed at a hotel in Atlanta a couple summers back. I'd near heard of Sweetwater until then. The had it at the hotel and the brewery was about a mile away. I drank my fair share of their IPA and their 420 that week.
ReplyDeleteShortly thereafter it showed up down here. I drink it pretty regularly as a draft these days. Prefer 420 to the IPA. I'm not very picky about it though.
I'm quite speller/typer. Gonna remedy that and have a drink.
ReplyDeleteI don't think she was planning to wear them Clarence, but I didn't want to express enough interest to raise that possibility.
ReplyDeleteSweet water 420 is a fine beer.
ReplyDeleteOh, and that photo, of the broken glass a the top of that Chicago tower, makes my palms sweat and my heart beat accelerate. Someone needs to put a new post up soon, and knock this down the page.
ReplyDeleteI have a great idea for a post.
ReplyDeleteRootsy...how bout a few pics broh?
ReplyDeleteI don't even want the mental image in my head. There's no chance I'm going to take and actual picture.
ReplyDeleteFortunately her visits are brief but intense. Never stops talking - you just have to leave the room, or the house.
I wish Clarence would come back to town so I'd have an excuse to leave home and go on another bender.
I'll concoct a reason, Rootsy. Get the music studio queued up.
ReplyDeleteway to help shlara out, jerks
ReplyDeleteYou're the GM. Make a personnel move.
ReplyDeletejust negotiated a 50% cut in your salary, z. your agent is a moron.
ReplyDeleteAbkhazia - fun word to say, unfun place to visit.
ReplyDeleteFirst day of the summer for kids around here. Thus commences 3 months of me hating every kid I see riding their bike, skating or jus generally lollygagging through their day.
ReplyDeleteGET OFF HIS LAWN (literally, you punk kids, get off the man's lawn)
ReplyDeleteYou lollygag the ball around the infield.
ReplyDeleteYou know what that makes you?
ReplyDeleteLolly gag is a great word. And I love that actor - a supreme "that guy" in Hollywood. He crushed it in Raising Arizona. You know, yodas and shit.
ReplyDeleteStupid spellcheck.
ReplyDeletetomorrow i shall run a half marathon, attend a soccer game, take in a dance recital, and then close my day with the old 97s at the 930 club. like a suburban dad quadrathalon.
ReplyDeleteI have to watch the Heat v Pacers game tonight for homework. I love summer school.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I can't wait for Doug Collins to punch Simmons on live TV. It will happen before the playoffs end.
Easiest bet of the night: LeBron o/u 14 total assists & rebounds.
ReplyDeleteOver. Over. Over.
Highlight of my night, no week, just happened. My mother in law was discussing Couples Therapy. I mentioned that I only considered watching it because Ghostface Killah was on. She launched into a whole summary of GFK's situation and referred to him as Ghostface or Ghost numerous times. It was sublime.
ReplyDeleteShlara's homework >>>> TJs homework
ReplyDeleteThose new Jaguars are pretty sweet.
ReplyDeleteAnyone see the previews for the show "I Wanna Marry Harry"? Oh boy...Shlara, this is all you. My bride and I are in also. This will be a dumpster fire....12 American huzzies vying for the love of a young man they think is Harry....as in Prince Harry. He looks just like him but well, is not a prince. And he doesn't have a pot to piss in.
ReplyDeleteLance Stephenson looks a lot like Mike Vick.
ReplyDeleteLance Stephenson is costing himself a boatload of money with his behavior. Even JR Smith would wince.
ReplyDeleteconcur with your opinion on the jag, tr. that thing is sick.
ReplyDeletethe red sox have had three managers ejected this evening. a donnybrook is in the air.
ReplyDeleteThere is video of Udonis Haslem telling Lance Stephenson he's going to fuck him up. I'd take those words to heart if I was Lance. Udonis gives no fucks.
ReplyDeleteLance is acting like a clown and plenty of teams won't touch him as a result but at least he's competing tonight. That's more than you can say for the rest of the Pacers.
ReplyDeleteDanimal--a show that exploits desperate, looney women for our TV pleasure, AND they have British accents? I'm IN.
ReplyDeleteDanimal--a show that exploits desperate, looney women for our TV pleasure, AND they have British accents? I'm IN.
ReplyDeleteaccording to dan lebatard today, lebron told haslem not to waste a flagrant on josh mcroberts in the charlotte series because he might need it against indiana. it's coming.
ReplyDeleteOn the topic of Pacers losing themselves FA money, why is Evan Turner rotting on the bench?
ReplyDeletebron might not get that over on the assists/boards if he sits the entire 4th quarter
ReplyDeletefbi and sec investigating philly mick for insider trading on info given by carl icahn. that's a big ol' uh oh for figjam.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct. I thought the Heat would win easily. Not up 28 early the 3rd quarter easily though.
ReplyDeleteThe new F-Type coupe is one of the few hardtops that looks better than its convertible counterpart.
ReplyDeleteAnd marks gfk comment reminds me that I have a post to write.
ReplyDeleteMickelson's lawyer is from a four-man shop in Jacksonville. Apparently he's a very good golfer. Unfortunately that won't get the SEC off your back. I bet Mickelson is poring over a Chambers guide right now.
ReplyDeleteShlara....the girls are all Americans lassies. They are the only species that could fall for such a thing. We watched 15 min of it last night and dvr'd the rest. Going to be glorious.
ReplyDeleteThe article I read last night on the Figster stated that he was told he was not a target. The other guy involved, Billy Walters, is a professional gambler and a golf course owner with a shady past. He's a dirtball.
I'm sure this is a stupid question for which I will be ridiculed, but why do people who are already absurdly wealthy get mixed up in insider-trading?!
