Much like pizza, your favorite FRIDAY THE 13TH movie is the one you saw when you were eleven.
On this day in Chicago history.
On this day in Chicago history.
Myself, @akathesauce, & @DoctorX2112 went to Bourbon Street (not THAT one) for #TomSandovalAndTheMostExtras and had a really good time! Hear all about it on the latest @DrinksOnMonday! open.spotify.com/episode/7G6g9q…
On April 29, 1983, Chicago Cubs manager Lee Elia went on an expletive filled tirade at a press conference following a one-run home loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, blasting Cubs fans for booing and heckling the team. "It's a fucking playground for the cocksuckers." #OpeningDay
Running a monthly “Fallout” by @Modiphius game here on the south side starting in June. If you’re local and interested get at me!
Myself, @MikeVanderbilt, and @DoctorX2112 have a night cap and enjoy the high of the Tom Sandoval and The Most Extras show at 115 Bourbon Street podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dri…

@MikeVanderbilt I haven’t seen a movie theater outside look like that in decades
I need to quit my regular job so bad lol it’s so draining and does nothing but keep me from doing what I love most, which is making more content/learning how to film/produce/all that good stuff. It’s so hard though when you literally can’t afford to have any fucking free time…
Hello X-world, it’s me yours truly 🥹 End of an era alert. I’m no longer spinning drinks or slinging vinyl at @GmanTavern. My exit interview was amicable & sweet. From Ginger Man to Gman. A Cubs World Series. My picture above the fold on the Sunday Tribune. What a run. Thank you!
@MikeVanderbilt My all time favorite sports clip . Never been topped since . Most fans have jobs the rest come and boo my team or whatever he said . Great moment
Today they are SLIGHTLY more PR savvy…..

Wanna quit my shitty 9-5 job so bad so I can go back to Vegas and chill/collab with other whores it was so freeing and coming back from that trip made me hate my regular job so much more lol
Along with keeping you warm and protecting you from the elements, our clothing performs other important functions: making us look good, communicating our identity, and speaking in a language that makes cultural sense. In tailoring, the number of buttons communicates something. 🧵
@dieworkwear why even have that buttonhole? (genuine question)
These motherfuckers still owe me twenty bucks.
