If these (for the most part) brilliant individuals can do their job after a few drinks, then more power to them!

COYOTE ON THE LOOSE IN LINCOLN PARK!
For once I'm happy that I came into the office today rather than stay home and play hookie!
From the tribune:
Lincoln Park coyote evades capture
By Kristen Kridel Tribune staff reporter

And the first round goes to the coyote. Animal control officers gave up their hunt this afternoon for the 60- to 65-pound critter, which has been spotted in the southern end of Lincoln Park over the past week. This morning, at least three Animal Care and Control vans were chasing the coyote near the ball fields at Lake Shore Drive and LaSalle Street. Coyote runs loose in Lincoln Park Video
The coyote managed to evade capture and was later seen in the back yard of Cardinal Francis George's residence just south of North Avenue in the Gold Coast neighborhood. Miguel Hernandez, one of the animal control officers giving chase, said the department has received numerous complaints about the coyote. It's been spotted near Lincoln Park Zoo and has been seen sunning itself on the softball diamonds in the park. The coyote has not approached or hurt anyone, Hernandez said."They really don't come near people," he said. "Just for safety reasons we want to get it out of here." Hernandez and his colleagues were driving their vans in circles across the park and ball fields this morning, kicking up dust and creating quite a spectacle for the joggers and dogwalkers going by but not managing to capture the animal." It's totally pathetic," said Jennifer Graves, a Lincoln Park resident out walking her schipperke. "They should give it food and water and maybe they would catch him." North Side resident Sean Wallace, 37, was exercising in the park with a buddy and periodically stopped to give advice. "What are they waiting for?" he said at one point. "There he goes through the gate!" About 10 to 15 coyotes are captured every year in Chicago, primarily in April and May when they are most active, according to animal control officials. The department receives calls of coyote sightings almost weekly. Coyotes usually live near waste containers and railroad tracks, away from human populations. This spring, a coyote nonchalantly wandered through the propped-open door of a Quiznos submarine sandwich shop in downtown Chicago. Officials captured the year-old male about an hour after it had entered the restaurant at 37 E. Adams St. in the Loop. The animal ate nothing, and no one was harmed. Coyotes are more partial to small rodents, rabbits and trash, animal control officials said. Earlier that week, a 2-year-old male was found near 31st and Wells Streets. He was taken to the Flint Creek Rehabilitation Center in Barrington, home to all of Chicago's transplanted urban coyotes. Two weeks before that, a coyote was captured near Sheridan Road and Diversey Parkway in the Lincoln Park neighborhood.kkridel@tribune.com

Nikki Sanderson. When I saw these pictures, I took a quick Internet search, because I had no idea who she is and quite frankly, at least to me, she barely looks 18 in these pictures! Maybe that just the effects of feathers and the swing! Thankfully, according to wikipedia she's 23. There's more irrelevant facts, like she's on British TV or something. If you are really interested, you can go to wikipedia:
Hey UIC Badger and PG, can you give us some insight on new White Sox pitcher: Ehren Josef Wassermann! I am assuming that he is a memebr of the tribe. Now if he can only pitch better in relief than Nick Masset!!

Hey JAG, didn't you ever hear of George O'Leary?!
Why do people "resume-pad" to be kind, in other words, why lie like sh*t about your accomplishments when a little investigation can uncover that you are a lying sack of sh*t! One of the contestants and finalists on The Next Food Network's Star, Joshua Adam Garcia lied about the extent of his military service (the time spent in the Marines and that he was in Afghanistan) and that he graduated from culinary school (he now states that he atteneded culinary school but did not graduate. But the question is why did he make up this crap? It's is not like this stuff was a requirement for him to be on the show. There were other contestants on the show who never even attended culinary school and unless he was cooking mess hall grub, who cares what he did with the Marines!? Stupid!

A couple of days ago I listed the Hottest 40 year olds and stated that I had no idea who Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon was! The next day I get Playboy in the mail (my subscription ran out 3 months ago, but I am still getting the mag, there's a lesson for you, don't renew right away!) and who is in the mag and on the cover- Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon!!! Forty years old and still hot enough to be in Playboy- that's good enough for me!! My apologies!Thursday, July 12, 2007
THANKS to an e-mail that I just got from EW.com, I just found out that Alyssa Milano ("Not only is she hot, but she's named after a food!"- The King of Queens)
has a baseball blog and it is quite good!
ANd this way you can look at pictures of Alyssa Milano and if you get caught, you can just say that you are reading up on baseball and you can't help it if the blog also has pictures of attractive women!!!
Camilla Sjoberg!! As HM mentioned in his blog (www.hoopramblings.blogspot.com) a few days ago, one of our favorite blogs, www.theputdown.com is back and running. One of Andy's better posts deal with "Hot Chicks that you have nver heard of!" To that end, I found pictures of a young (I assume) lass that I have never heard of- Camilla Sjoberg- on Hollywood Tuna:
http://www.hollywoodtuna.com/?p=3274. She reminds me of a younger, even hotter Olivia D'Abo (what ever happened to her?!).
Now here is a list that most of my readers can relate to. Accordign to In Touch Weekly, here is the list of top ten "fabulous 40-something" women:
1. Halle Berry
2. Daisy Fuentes (she's 40!?)
3. Salma Hayek
4. Pamela Anderson
5. Martina McBride
6. Maria Bello
7. Tia Carrere
8. Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon
9. Melina Kanakaredes
10. Nicole Kidman
There are some great pics of Halle at:
http://www.popoholic.com/2007/07/11/halle-berry-voted-most-fabulous-40-something/
Salma is a fav of many of my readers. Have no idea who #8 and #9 are? Where's Heather Locklear or Shania Twain? Demi? Faith Hill just misses out on eligibility as she is 39 (she turns 40 in September).

Where there's smoke, there's fire!
At the very least, Vick has some explaining to do the NFL Commish and to the Falcons.
17 Dogs were buried on Michael Vick's property!! What's his defense? "Hey, I can't control who comes on my property! Maybe it was the next door neighbors! It's not like I can afford any high-priced security system. Hey, do you want to buy a house?"

In what has been a disappointing year for White Sox fans, the #2 highlight of the season (behind Buehrle's no-hitter) occured on Sunday, just two days after one of the worst most embarassing days of the season. Javier Vasquez pitched his second straight complete game followed by the White Sox signing Mark Buehrle to a contract extension. Even Jay Mariotti was forced to write a complimentary article about the Sox!!Friday, July 06, 2007

NO ALL-STAR VOTE IN FOR ZAMBRANO!Well it appears that Sox fans are better than Cubs' fans when it comes to voting players into the All-Star game. Last two years Sox fans voted Pods and A.J. in, but Cubs fans failed to get Zambrano in this year. Even though there are mroe Cubs fans than Sox fans, I'm guessing that all the retiree Cubs' fans living in Arizona don't know how to do the internet vote.
