  6. It was 8 years between the first World Trade center bombing and 9/11...
  7. Shaun of the Dead did very well at the Box Office. The weekend numbers don't tell the story. it made over 3 million in ONLY 607 Theatres in the US. The Forgotten was in 3100+ theatres. If you go by "per screen average" then in 3100 theatre Shaun of the dead would have made over 16 million this weekend. Not bad at all. www.boxofficemojo.com
  8. Happy Belated Birthday Steff! I sent you Neal Cotts via UPS...but i could only afford regular delivery. So you should get him later this week. Ooops...I think I forgot to punch airholes in the box. Eh, it's not like you wanted to talk anyway.
  9. My wife and I go here for our anniversary dinner every year with members of our wedding party that are still in the area.
  10. The food, especially the Pizza and Risotto, is incredible...so authentic. I recommend it to EVERYONE! I could go on and on...but the Chicago Reader said it better Here is what the Reader had to say: The name refers to the stamp of approval given to Italian wine, cheese, and other food products of verifiably high quality. D'Ortenzi holds everything in his establishment up to the same exacting standards. He even brought star Roman chef Gualtiero Carosi along from La Bocca. Pizza crusts are rolled thin with a dowel then topped with different combinations of tomato, mozzarella, artichoke, porcini mushrooms, and even ham and eggs, and cooked in a wood-burning oven. For heartier appetites there are pasta dishes, gnocchi alla romano with fresh basil, and a few (meatless) risotto options, plus a couple specialties that deserve attention. One is coda alla vaccinara—oxtail baked with celery, carrots, onion, and tomato—the other, osso buco alla Milanese, is tender braised veal shanks with carrots and onion served with a buttery saffron risotto. The dining room is simple and attractive, with lacquered wood panels between salmon-colored walls, tasteful black-and-white photos of Roman ruins set off by oddly shaped halogen lights, and a few large feathery plants in the center. A table displays the vegetables for the antipasto misto—grilled eggplant, yellow and green zucchini, and roasted scallions—and baskets of rustic bread made on the premises. This place holds promise, and blows away the majority of Italian-American places that call themselves authentic. Pizza D.O.C., 2251 W. Lawrence, 773-784-8777 BTW, if you want to know exactly what D.O.C. means... Vino a Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) is the Italian answer to the French AOC. DOC wines are produced in specific well-defined regions, according to specific rules designed to preserve the traditional wine-making practices of the individual regions. Thus, the rules for making Barolo differ markedly from those for making Chianti Classico. The winery can state the vineayrd that the grapes came from, but cannot name the wine after a grape type (doing so would cause confusion, because there are some DOCs named after grape types, for example Brunello di Montalcino), and cannot use a name such as "Superior." Since a wine has to meet certain standards to qualify as DOC, the quality of Italian wines as a whole has improved since the first DOCs were established in the 1960s, though in some cases the rules drawn up by the commissions had unexpected effects -- Super Tuscans (VdT) arose from the requirement (since dropped) that producers put white grapes in their Chianti Classico.
  11. Greek Islands (Our fave place in the city) Chicago Chophouse and Lawry's (Steak and Prime Rib) Pizza D.O.C. (Italian) Domo 77 - Wheaton - that Egg Yolk sauce is f***ing HEAVEN...Heaven I tell ya!!
  12. This is the line that worries me!! Well, there's your reason for not going after a pitcher in the off-season. Positive Spin: Unless, it means Garland is trade bait and they will go after a Number 1 or 2, pushing everyone down a spot and Grilli becomes #5
  13. Neither did George when he did his top ten in 2000.
  14. Couldn't this be a one woman movie?... Nah, I guess they need the other guys, anyway here she is: Here is the article on the movie and pics of the rest of the cast: http://www.superherohype.com/news.php?id=2014
  15. LMAO...After reading Steff's post about it "not being the name we agreed on" I thought...She had to have wanted Cotts. Steff...don't worry, one day the only thing that'll be separating you and Neal will be a restraining order.
  16. You mean Kenny Williams doesn't post here anymore?!?!
  17. Or he'll say something like... "I was watching an Oakland A's game and a White Sox game broke out..."
  18. Shouldn't it be...Senor Strikeout or The Count of 0 and 2 (an homage to Koch)
  19. I Think SS2k4 actually is connected to a computer like Jeff Bridges in Tron
  20. I am soooo confused??? Zel Miller completely switched his opinions on John Kerry from just a few years ago. He said John Kerry didn't support specific weapon systems. Some of the same weapon systems Dick Cheney lobbied against while he was Sec of Defense. He said Kerry was strenghtening our Military in 2001, but now he would weaken it? Isn't Zel..."Flip-Flopping"? But according to the RNC, I shouldn't trust "Flip-Floppers" Hmmmmm
