I scratched off Ecuador and Colombia for ya.

Happy B-Day!!

While bumming around Barcelona almost 20 years ago, I bought something called 'chocolate' from a Moroccan that was supposed to be one thing but turned out to be something else. Lemme tell ya, black licorice doesnt do the lungs any favors when its smoked.

Perhaps "street candy" is code for something else. These cave living brothers have their reputation to uphold you know.

Its a roll of the dice with candy "ground scores"....sometimes its a chocolate drop, some times its rabbit droppings. Who, I ask, can not afford to take the time to find out?

"Family Secrets: The Case That Crippled the Chicago Mob" by Jeff Coen. Very good read if you like this kinda stuff. Turns out I went to school with the son of a street boss (who was recently sentenced to life in prison). And get this....in the mid 80s, a week before I started working at a brand new theater in the western suburbs, these lowlifes bombed it in the hopes of scaring and shaking down the owner. Oooo.....the sordid underbelly of suburbia!

I read a review that stated the film was like receiving trauma and going into shock in which you dont "get over" the event......you wait until it wears off. That pretty much captures how I felt about the power of the book. I'm gonna wait on seeing the film, the last thing I need is more bleakness and depression.

Are you saying I should be worried?

wow. I'm not sure what I'd do without SST.

I said that here a few years ago and was almost lynched by an angry mob. Better watch your back brutha.

No televised news stations or shows. Only printed media.....primarily Chicago Tribune and Wall St Journal.

Quoted for truth. They're good for inducing sleep though.

Yes, yes, yes!

I cant say how much I enjoyed reading this book.

Whats not to love, its f'n hilarious. I've never had another book make me cry with laughter before or since reading it. Hell, I loved that book so much, I stole my "name" from it.

Indeed. Moby Dick as well.

Excellent point.

I dont find the concept of hate filled fast food very compelling.

Ya think so, eh? Clearly you hate chickens and all their kind. Thanks for another hate filled, chicken-racist post.

I took a History of Pop Music senior year in high school. For some reason the credits for that class were discounted by the colleges I applied to.

Dont worry, you're normal. They bore me to tears.

Whoa, didnt see that one coming!

I really dont know, sorry.

Wow, no kidding, I love that tune!
