Dear Santa…Please put us on the TBOX Royal Court!!

Dear Santa,

 

I am writing to you on behalf of myself (Marina C.) and Jodi Z.  We believe we have been very good girls this year, or very naughty, it depends on how you look at it.  This year, for Christmas, we would like to be on Chris Festa’s (www.shopfesta.com he has wonderful t-shirts) production of the Twelve Bars of Christmas (from here on in referred to as TBOX) Royal Court.  Jodi and I have been attending TBOX for many, many years now, this year will be our 7th consecutive TBOX.  Last year, Chris Festa was so kind to put me on the Royal Court, so this year I would love it, if Chris could add myself and Jodi to the roster!  We are loyal followers of the TBOX brand and your kindness this year will not be forgotten. 

 

Over the years, Santa, Jodi and I have developed several traditions that we practice religiously while at TBOX.  They are as follows…

1) Whether they are naughty or nice, we insist on “handing” out spankings.  Just good fun for all!!

Janice HANDING it out!

2) We always try to bring at least 1 TBOX Virgin.  We know that spreading the “good word” would lead to spreading peace, joy and love throughout the world.  Last year we had 2 virgins in our group, this year we expect to have 5.

3) We also perfected the no-handed cereal carrying process. 

If a virgin can do it...

4) We always try to find people that wear the same costumes year after year and get pictures with them each year.  We hit the trifecta last year!

So, Santa, here is our plea.  Please talk to Chris Festa of www.shopfesta.com and convince him to make our dream come true. 

Thank You very much, we love you!!

Sincerely,

Marina C. and Jodi Z.

The Myspace Weirdo’s

Ok, most of us have The Myspace pages.  They’re fun and a good way of keeping in touch with friends old and new.  All of us have gotten unsolicited emails from other myspace people, for whatever reasons.  A friend of mine got an email from some guy in the Northwest burbs of Chicago requesting a weird favor… here’s the letter…

My name is Mark from the near north suburb of Chicago
in Des Plaines. You are a Goddess and I’m hoping you
would be willing to help me on this very unique fun
wild opportunity You seem really cool. I hope you
might consider..

Please let me know what you think…

I am seeking a lady or a group of ladies ages 18-65,
willing to literally walk, stand, dance, jump on me,
above the waist, and have me lick their shoes clean
and smell and kiss their tired feet for fun or for my
Myspace Yahoo webpage “Chitown Trample. ” Great fun,
great way to let loose, vent anger frustrations, How
often do you get the chance to stomp all over a guy?
LOL

No sex or nudity involved. We will be dressed. I would
pay $120 cash if that would be an incentive. Just for
one hour of your time. Yes, I am for legit.

Interested? Want to know more? Not for you? Write me
back. Check my profile too!!

FREAK!!!  But too funny!!!

 

Holy Earthquake, Batman!!

It’s 4:36am, I’m minding my own business, sleeping, that is, I realize that my effing bed is shaking, shaking hard!!! I live on a busy street and I thought someone crashed into my house, I heard a crash, something hit the floor. Maybe it’s my cat shaking the bed, scratching himself, he must have one hell of an itch. I put my hand on the wall, the wall is shaking!! It’s 4:37am, I get out of bed, the shaking stops! I take a look around, nothing. I was having a dream, a really intense dream!! I go back to bed and sleep for several hours.

I wake up, I don’t turn on the news, because I had a really intense dream and there’s nothing to see. I open my email to read that… It was a fucking earthquake, in the Chicago suburbs, actually, Southern Illinois!!! I think this is odd, the midwest does NOT have earthquakes!! What’s going on, is there a paradigm shift? Will California start having tornadoes? The Wizard of Oz was not set in California. They have earthquake’s, we have tornadoes, that’s the trade-off!! A double-whammy people!

Wonderful Day

Today was a wonderful weather day here in Chicago. Temps were in the low 90’s and a solid breeze it was a great day to be out and about. Today at lunch a co-worker and I walked over to Daley Plaza where there was a farmers market going on and an ethnic food fest. My co-worker and I saw that there was an Italian Ice stand and we decided to head back over about 2pm for and afternoon ice. So, at 2pm we walked back over to Daley Plaza and I had the BEST Mango Gelato ever!! We walked over to the fountain took out shoes off and put our feet in the water while we ate our Gelato. It was a great few minutes out of the work day. There were children playing in the water, and my clumsy co-worker dropped her blue gelato and it splattered all over her legs and clothes. I only wish I had my camera!! But here are some pics that I found online.

2016: All or Nothing!

It was announced today that Chicago will be the U.S. bid city to host the 2016 Olympic Games. The decision will be made in October, 2009 by the International Olympic Committee. Chicago beat out Los Angeles for the final bid. In a press conference after the announcement, USOC Chairman, Peter Ueberroth, stated that the US Olympic Committee likes the fact that the games could be held on a lake front, something/someplace the games have never been held before.  

For some reason, I am very interested in this topic, I guess because I live in Chicago and think it’s a great city and I am very excited that there is a possibility that the Olympics could be held here! So, last night, I was at a bar (here in the burbs) where I took a small poll to see if other people think that Chicago could beat out Los Angeles. Of the 2 people I asked (I sad it was a small poll, this isn’t science people) Neither of them thought that Chicago could come out of their “Second City” status and play with the big boys. At the time I was too drunk to argue. I knew all along that may be dubbed “The Second City,” but it stands second to NO ONE!
