Be careful who you talk to out there

PrintSo I am walking back to the Redline, I just happened to be at Addison approaching Sheffield, yea Wrigleyville. Their is a dude in a Sox hat walking to my side, we said hello to each other, he seemed like a nice enough chap. As he stepped into the cross walk on Sheffield A guy on a bike whips around the corner almost taking him out, he ran back to the sidewalk, where I was. He was a little freaked out but physically he was fine So I make a little joke, you made yourself a target with that hat on around here. I expected a chuckle this guy starts yelling, then crying. I don't even watch sports, I play sports I don't care about this hat, I didn't even buy, I found it on the southside. !@#$ you threw the hat onto Sheffield, kicked it then picked it up and put it back on and proceed across the street ranting and raving at the top of his voice about all the crazy people in this !@#$ ing town
Figured I better stop at Harry's for a beer before proceeding to the Redline. I am not one for harassing people about their choice of headgear. I swear it was meant to be a joke, any other corner in town, it never would have come up. But wow, what a reaction.

You just happened to be in a specific area, at a specific time, meeting a specific person who was just about to go over the edge. Wow !!
Too bad for him. He told you to F-off??
So, did that beer taste just a little bit better? I hope so; you needed it.
Just win the next game...!
Wow.
Wow.

I'm watching The Walking Dead
and its flippin’ sweet. There’s a lot of potential in this show, there’s so many directions it can go and good opportunity for really interesting characters. It already got picked up for a second season. Its been a while since I’ve been this excited for a new show.

Yeah, it's my favorite show right now.
The premise isn’t actually original, but they’re executing it really well. That’s cool to hear it’s already been picked up for another season.

Could be.
Don’t tell me what happened last night – haven’t seen it yet.
By the way, do you still think the Bulls should trade for Carmelo?

“Too bad for him. He told you to F-off??”
well he kind of screamed it to no one in particular as he was crossing the street, not sure if it was to me or the world in general. The guy was definitely a few fries short of a happy meal.

I thought all the Wrigleyville crazies headed to Florida for the winter

My favorite Chicago stranger story
I was on the El. Can’t remember exactly where. Sunday afternoon. Train about half-empty.
A guy with a bushy beard and uncombed long hair is standing in the aisle. Plenty of seats, but he’s standing in the aisle. Lets three or four stops go by, so he’s not just up to get out the door fast.
Wearing a T-shirt that you buy in a package in the underwear aisle. Wearing dress gray slacks held up in the back by a safety pin.
He starts flipping a coin. Four or five times, just flips a coin and then checks it to see what it comes up. I imagined his inner voice doing this:
“OK, heads I spit on the first passenger that tries to get by me,”
“Damn, tails”
“OK, tails I poop on the floor”
“Damn, heads”
“OK, heads, I grab the boobs of the woman in the front row”
“Damn, tails!”
Chicago — gotta love it
"It's all in the game, yo"
what else
can you expect from someone wearing a sox hat. was in a wal mart in fla with a cubs jersey on and i swear people were staring at me. probably thinking boy we wish the rays had that many fans.
maybe you forgot to use the sarcasm font
