Chicago voted “2nd most fun city in the world”

Time Out just named Chicago as not QUITE the most fun city in the world — but pretty close. Stupid Tel Aviv — they took the top spot. (AUTHOR’S NOTE: Tel Aviv is probably a blast — I apologize for calling them stupid. I’m just salty AF.)

Voters in the poll noted our “ample nightlife, a variety of outdoor activities and one of the region’s largest Pride celebrations.”

Runner-up is a position that we are familiar with — we were also recently named the second most beautiful city in the world in a similar poll.

Chicago Cats vs Chicago Rats

If you’ve walked down any alley in Chicago at night, safe to say you already know this, but Chi town has a rat problem.  And to combat this, the city is bringing in feral cats to help catch these disease infested rodents…which sounds like a great idea straight out of a Warner Brothers cartoon, but what happens when the cat population explodes?  They bring in dogs to take out the cats. Then they have to deal with the dogs, so they bring in monkeys, and THEN the monkeys develop advanced intelligence and then instead of chasing the dogs who chase the cats who chase the rats, they all team up and before we know it, Chicago is the epicenter of the animal uprising.  We’ve seen it a hundred times. bad idea.

You must be ‘this thin’ to ride

An Aussie amusement park is being accused of fat-shaming it’s customers by placing scales around the park before rides and kicking people out of line if they’re too heavy. The “self-serve scales” flash red or green depending on if the rider is able to get on or not. One mom said that her daughter got on the scale and it flashed green then red then green again and was told that she was not able to get on the ride for exceeding the weight limit. She was mortified! Upset parkgoers have invaded their Facebook page, letting them know that amusement parks are supposed to be fun, not emotionally scaring. Critics also noted that even a regular male would need to weigh 165 lbs to get on a ride, which is 20 pounds less than the average Aussie man. The park insists that the new scales were implemented to be line with rider safety standards. I say poppycock! Let everyone ride regardless of size!

EMINEM helped out at the opening of Mom’s Spaghetti!

Fans lined up 7 hours before the opening. The appropriately titled Mom’s Spaghetti features Em’s favorite pasta dishes at an affordable price in downtown Detroit. And surprise! He was at the opening working the pick-up window.

Chicago made the list of ’15 Best Cities’ in the world!

We live in the best city in the world! OK, we’re bias, but according to Resonance Consultancy, Chicago placed 13th on a list of 100 of the best cities worldwide. Apparently we have great infrastructure, culture, and Chicago is very affordable compared to other cities… I’ll politely disagree with that last statement. But seriously, it is the best place to be, now we just have more actual proof from studies. And great news, we’re the 3rd best in the U.S.- another point I’d like to argue, sorry New York, but you’re dirty! L.A.? You can’t get around! We’re number one in our hearts.

Drunk “missing” man, joined the search party… for himself

There he is on the hunt for himself.

I mean how many people get to find themselves in this life? He was lost in the woods when he joined the search party. Eventually, rescue teams started calling his name and he slowly put two and two together in his drunk brain.

Whose Karen Is It?

It’s Pumpkin Spice season, which is always a coming out party for Karen’s. This one is as bad as it gets.

Take a guess where this Karen is from on Facebook!

The Bears are moving to Arlington Heights…maybe!

The fledgling Chicago Bears made a move on Wednesday to distract fans from their embarrassing 1-2 start by announcing that they have purchased an agreement for Arlington Heights racetrack. The team has been teasing a possible move for months, unhappy with the city of Chicago and the state of Soldier Field.

Just imagine if they had a good team to fill this stadium.

Portillo’s files for IPO

The fast food powerhouse has filed for its IPO, which Brian, Ali, & Justin have been told is very important. What this means, we don’t exactly know, but if going public can help us funnel more Italian beef into our mouths, then we aren’t going to complain.

If someone wants to explain to us what this means, please hit us up on Facebook!
