Wrigleyville an 'Octopus Free Zone' on New Year's - SABATOGE!!!!!!
(Courtesy of SunTimes.com) Cook County Commissioner Mike Quigley is a Blackhawks fan. It goes without saying he hates the Detroit Red Wings.
So when Quigley put together an official resolution Tuesday celebrating the Hawks' outdoor showdown against the Red Wings on New Year's Day at Wrigley Field, he included a secret message to the reigning Stanley Cup champions and their fans.
He used red capital letters in the last line of his resolution to spell out a favorite chant he learned while growing up a Hawks fan ''in the second balcony in Chicago Stadium.'' The letters spelled out, ''DETROIT SUCKS.''
Besides declaring Jan. 1 will be ''Chicago Blackhawks Day'' in Cook County, Quigley's resolution designates Wrigley Field and the surrounding area an ''Octopus Free Zone'' -- a dig at Red Wings fans' tradition of throwing octopi on the ice after their team scores.
''The good thing about being a Blackhawks fan,'' Quigley said, ''is you don't have to live in Detroit.''

Gator's letter to Natalie Gulbis
In response to this article at Deadspin.com to win a date with Natalie Gulbis, Gator wrote her a letter.
DEAR NATALIE,
ALL MY LIFE I’VE STRIVED TO BE THE BEST. IT’S NOT THAT I’M A PERFECTIONIST AS MUCH AS I JUST WANT TO BE PERFECT. THIS IDEAL WAS INSTILLED IN ME AT AN EARLY AGE FROM WATCHING HAPPY DAYS ON TV. ARTHUR FONZARELLI, OR MAYBE YOU KNOW HIM AS THE FONZ, WASN’T JUST GOOD AT EVERYTHING, HE WAS GREAT AT EVERYTHING. EVEN PLAYING THE BONGOS WITH RICHIE’S BAND.
THIS GUY JUMPED LIKE 25 BARRELS ON HIS MOTORCYCLE, HE JUMPED OVER A SHARK ON SKIS AFTER LEARNING HOW TO SKI JUST TWO DAYS EARLIER. MORK TRIED TO FREEZE HIM IN HIS PLACE BUT FONZY WOULDN’T BE DENIED, HE WIGGLED THAT THUMB OF HIS AND BATTLED THAT ORKAN BASTARD ALL THE WAY OUT OF THE 50’S AND INTO THE 80’S. THIS GUY WAS COOL!
PLUS, THE FONZ WAS ABLE TO OVERCOME HIS FEARS IN FRONT OF A WORLD WIDE AUDIENCE. LIKE CONFRONTING LIVER WHEN RICHIE WAS INVESTIGATING DORM FOOD, OR PUTTING HIS MOTORCYCLE BACK TOGETHER AFTER SUFFERING FROM TEMPORARY BLINDNESS, AND DON’T FORGET HAVING HIS TONSILS OUT AS AN ADULT. THIS GUY JUST EXUDED A TOUGHNESS THAT I HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
AND LET’S NOT FORGET ABOUT HIS MASTERY WITH THE LADIES. ANYBODY WHO CAN WALK INTO A CROWDED ROOM AND ATTRACT WOMEN SIMPLY BY SNAPPING HIS FINGERS HAS THAT IT FACTOR. AND IT’S NOT LIKE HE WAS HOOKING UP WITH THE HEFERS OF MILWAUKEE, FONZY WAS STRAIGHT UP KICKIN’ IT WITH THE LACTOSE INTOLERANT BABES OF WISCONSIN. NOT ONLY THAT, HE CONTINUED TO CAST THAT SPELL OVER THE LADIES IN CALIFORNIA TOO, EVEN WOOING WOMEN AWAY FROM THE CALIFORNIA KID.
LET’S JUST SAY THAT I’VE LEARNED A LOT FROM THE FONZ OVER THE YEARS AND I THINK THAT SPENDING THE DAY WITH YOU WOULD BE GREAT. PLUS I PROMISE NEVER TO SAY SIT ON IT, UNLESS YOU WERE COOL WITH THAT.

Capitalizing on Senator Larry Craig's restroom bust, a Minnesota minor league baseball team this Sunday is giving away a promotional item celebrating the Republican politician's arrest last year at the Minneapolis-St.Paul airport. Dubbed a "bobblefoot" (as opposed to a bobblehead doll), the polyresin giveaway depicts an occupied bathroom stall (the inhabitant's pants and shoes can be seen below the stall's panels). When the St. Paul Saints's "bobblefoot" is shaken, one of the spring-loaded feet taps.
