Isnt it easier to say building?
Absolutely not.

Fabi, do you want to come live with me in a few years in Chicago? I fvcking love this city girl. Best city ever as far as I'm concerned. I have more pics to show you later once I get them off my phone and disposable.

But right now, I gotta a Bachelor's party to attend. ;)

10 Bucks for anybody who gives me the correct name of this edifice.

(Anybody except Fabi and the rest of the Americans. Oh and Besmir, too.)
Sears tower.... Probably taken from the side of the building on South Wacker Drive as it looks like 311 south wackers shadow on the tower in your photo

:D Couldn't get more correct than that.

So I take it you've been to Chicago multiple times?

Not exactly multiple... But more than twice...

I thought of the position as last time i was there i spent ages trying to get a picture from the same side without the shadow of 311 in it


I know you were prob joking about the ten dollars... but it would be nice if next time you walked past any animal related charity bin or cancer charity bin you would throw it in

Of course I know that ediface! One summer while in college, I worked as a mail clerk at a company on the 48th & 49th floors. It was a pretty weird job.

I shared an office with a recovering crack junkie from the Brooklyn ganglands who told me all I needed to know about New York street smarts. I carried up birthday cakes for 60 through the revolving doors in front and tried to push the buttons on the express elevators. (The security guards were always too busy checking out the hot chicks in summer dresses to open the handicapped entry doors for me.)

I got a kick out of when the fog would roll in, and you'd look below and the entire city disappeared. Not to mention the wind that caused raindrops to literally drip vertically upwards. And when the winds were heavy, the building at the upper floors in the wind would rock and creak a little like an old ship.

Ahhh. Those were the days of my youth. :D

Well, I could always send it via Paypal, but sure thing Paul.

Although my dad works for the NCI, so the money will probably go to the Animals. :)

Sounds like good times if you ask me.

Did you have a downtown apartment Greg? My cousin who is getting married tonight just bought one a few months ago for the measley sum of half a million dollars. :eek: Prices are friggin ridiculous in this city.

On July 27, Milan will meet the Chicago Fire at Solider Field in Chicago. Chelsea and D.C. United will compete the next day at FedEx Field, home of the Washington Redskins.
Fantastic, I'll certainly be going to see that match.

Incorrect. A thief doesn't kill anybody while performing his trade, while a terrorist must kill to get his point across, no matter how fvcking dumb and imbecilic it may be.

Well that wasnt my point at all.

My point is if wearing a Tamoil logo makes you a terrorist, so must waving/wearing an american (and british before you start) flag.

And besides your other point is wrong also. Many thiefs will kill and terrorists do not always kill people and sometimes only destroy buildings etc.

For your information Emma, I was only joking. But I hope you do know the history of Ghaddafi and his Tamoil company.

Hmm, only destroy buildings, not people? I'm sorry but I don't ever recall a targeted building that did not have any people in it.
