Guest The REAL W.C.W. Posted October 6, 2005 Report Posted October 6, 2005 Although I travel very little, I made an exception this past weekend and flew to Chicago where I had a simply marvelous time. I was visiting a friend, Mr. Walter W. Fremont and he was so kind as to take me on a sight seeing trip. I will be posting photos soon, but here is a recap: 1st we were off to Milennium Park, a truly lovely place with a giant metallic structure in the shape of a bean...I know a few colleagues of mine here at Berkeley would get quite a kick out of that! Next we drove to the Suburbs where we spent part of the day at Six Flags Great America. Now I go to Magic Mountain back in my home state of California often, although I never ride the coaster machines, I do enjoy a nice cool Ice Cream Sundae, and the carnival games are good fun. After that we stayed in Gurnee, Illinois and ate at what is called "Chicago's Famous Hoagie Hut" I must say it was my first time trying an authentic "Chicago Style" Hot Dog--being the inventor of the cheesedog in California in the 50's I consider myself a connoiseur, and this dog was top notch! We ended our trip by heading back to the city to the Sears Tower. A lovely view, if not a tad bit disorienting! My ears popped upwards of 12 times on the elevator up! Chicago truly is my kind of town. And long live the Hoagie Hut. :-William C. Wells

The Czech Republic Posted October 8, 2005 Report Posted October 8, 2005 This gimmick makes my brain cry.
CBright7831 Posted October 8, 2005 Report Posted October 8, 2005 You all should have greenlight my Random Question Asker alias, where I come in and just ask random questions like "What would you do if you sitting quietly in a doctor's office when all of the sudeen the Kool-Aid Manbusts through the wall and yells "OOOOOOOOH YEAAAAH!"" and then proceed to let everyone answer it.
