FD, do you have your asbestos suit on? Are you safe? Well, of
course not. I mean are the fires near you?

I do admire the circumspect way in which the writer indicates
that the police had some indications that he was the man they
wanted, considering what the article says that the suspect left
the festival wearing ....

What a letdown. Next I suppose they'll tell us Willie Mays
Hayes wasn't very fast.

Actually, in order to make Willie Mays Hayes look fast, they had
to shoot all of those scenes in "slow-mo" because Wesley Snipes
was incredibly slow.

Ridicule all you want, at 85 mph Sheen would look better than
some of the crap we're sending out there. Especially if we had
the gun that read 101.

It must be a regional thing. Like the love of White Castle for
people from the big northern cities like Chicago and Detroit or
grits for southerners. No one I know that grew up in the Chicago
area and went to college at Eastern Illinois, Bradley, Illinois
Wesleyan, ISU, U of I, etc. rave about or miss Monical's Pizza.
Guess you had to 'grow up on it' to enjoy it. It may be the best
pizza in central & southern Illinois but that's not saying much
as that area isn't considered a 'pizza lover's paradise'. Kind
of like being the 'best Mexican joint' in Winnipeg Canada.
The last time I tried it was 15 months ago at a company-owned
store (some of their locations are franchised) in Manteno. The
very-thin crust pizza is bland and unimpressive IMO. This may
explain why many of the locals like to dress their Monical's
pizza with a liberal dosing of the Monical's red salad dressing
that is conveniently parked on each table top. The salad
dressing is really tasty - but I don't care for salad dressing
on my pizza, thank you.
There's also a good reason that they've expanded to 51 locations
in Illinois and ALL of them are located south of I-80. Their
pizza would be considered mediocre in Chicagoland. They are not
in the same league as Chicago area pizza places with multiple
locations like Lou Malnati's, Connie's, Aurelio's or Edwardo's.
Let alone compared to the great pizza you will find in gems like
Vito & Nick's on the southside or Burt's Place in Morton Grove.
