Non Sequitur – Fight To The Death
Jun 8th
Here’s the scenario:
There is a large oval shaped dirt floored arena - think Medieval Times-esque - except with twelve foot, unscalable walls. At one end is a full sized Alaskan Grizzly Bear and at the other the alpha male Silverback Gorilla of the Nuenge pod from deep inside the Congo. Trapped behind the grizzly is one of the young offspring of the gorilla that is getting probed by electro-shock wands. Behind the gorilla is the grizzly’s cub while Phil Spector has his way with it. Both the baby gorilla and the baby grizzly are uncomfortable and crying out for help. The parent grizzly and gorilla must More >
Quick Quips – Dealing With Deadlines

My buddy who was tasked with this charge is one known for stirring the pot and inevitably making any trip an “experience.” He’s definitely embraced the collecting stories approach to life with the one caveat being that more often than not his adventures need to be conveyed to him the following morning to be commited to memory.

Quick Quips 4/18/11
Apr 18th
I woke up this morning to snow on the ground and had to bundle up – winter hat and all – for my morning run with my dog. Today’s date is April 18th. It touched 80 degrees two weeks ago. Mother Nature can get bent. We go through this every year in Chicago, you know it’s coming, you know not to get your hopes up, but every year I get sucked right back in. It’s no wonder we’re as tolerant as we are with the Cubs. With that said, I once heard that the death knell in any conversation is More >
