What I love about America in the Olympics:  Whenever a foreign nation fields a team sport, all their players are the same ethnicity.  But whenever America fields a team, our players are from all over the color spectrum.

I love museum stores.  I love them more perhaps than even museums.  I like kitschy, fun things like fridge magnets and designer kitchen tools and pillows shaped like cassette players.  I would collect them if I were more eclectic.  I like the idea of stuff from Kid Robot but I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ I&#8217;m on the 66 bus coming back from Navy Pier.  It&#8217;s super-packed;  the driver isn&#8217;t letting any new people on.  Somebody yells from the back of the bus, &#8220;Hey this guy got on without paying!&#8221; &#8212; someone had slipped in through the back door.

Hot Chocolate in Wicker Park / Bucktown is known for its hot chocolate.  Also its burger, but that&#8217;s a different story.  Anyway, I got the hot chocolate (there are four separate types on the menu) known as the black [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been thinking about Wizard of Oz a lot again lately.  It&#8217;s a perfect sort of form of the Heroes&#8217; Journey, and there&#8217;s a lot to take from studying it.  At the same time [...]]]></description>

This has elicited surprisingly emotional responses in some segments of the population.  Some people definitely do think it&#8217;s cheating;  others (myself!) think that it&#8217;s like plugging your ween into a vacuum cleaner, but who am I to judge?

People have been all &#8220;THAT&#8217;S RACIST!!!&#8221; but this article in the Guardian explains it fairly well.  Apparently monkeys are good luck symbols and Japanese people don&#8217;t comprehend a connection between black people [...]]]></description>
