The problem with getting a Tattoo…

…is that your first picture with the tattoo will have this guy in it.


Obama’s Socialist Olympics Fail

Hey folks, Fred the Tuckpointer here with a quick check in from my sister Mis’ place in North Royalton.  Since my shoulder separation, Sadie decided we should be separate too, at least until I “get my act together” -  whatever that means.  Its not too bad – Mis works third shift down at the clinic, [...]


Want to see some people high five Chicago losing the Olympic bid?

This is from the Americans For Prosperity (yes the brave people who’ve chosen to be FOR prosperity) Conference called: The Defending The American Dream Summit. No word on how the Defending American Irony Summit responded. They’re so happy at how un-prosperous this makes Chicago.


Tea Party Slammer

Tea Party Slammer

Hey folks, Fred the Tuckpointer here with one you’ll never believe.  Last time I blogged, I was telling you all about how my neighbor Don got a letter from the crummy IRS telling him he owed big time.  I’d been seeing all these “tea parties” on TV where a bunch of people who hate President [...]


Quote-a-palooza: Ferris Bueller Edition

Anything missing?


Good Morning.


Welcome to the San Diego ComicCon!

Welcome to the San Diego ComicCon!

For two weeks every summer, the sleepy town of San Diego becomes the center of the geek universe.

Movie studios hawk their tentpole films for the following summer. Video game companies show off their big games for the holiday season. TV studios give fans unprecedented acess to their favorite stars.


New Rules for Gay Pride in Chicago

So, with the recent news that Chicago is enacting laws to “protect” everyone during this year’s Gay Pride parade, one must be asking oneself, “Why now? Why this year?”
Simply, they are putting up barricades to protect the parade walkers AND the parade goers from interfering with each other. Wellll – good for YOU.
I think [...]

I’m going to Fuddrucker’s for lunch. Who’s in?

I'm going to Fuddrucker's for lunch.  Who's in?

When was the last time you were at Fuddrucker’s? I have to say, it’s nigh on 10 years for me. I don’t remember it being extremely good, I just remember it was like the ultimate haven for creating the burger I wanted. And I dig that. Oddly enough, the topic of [...]


Justin – I found a nice little place you can take the family this summer…

Kate, time to brush off that headshot, the phone is ringing, and it’s Fate.

Casting for “Real Housewives of Chicago”** is starting.
Except I think you need a bitchier attitude and at least two kids to ignore. But it still doesn’t hurt to give it a shot. This info from SunTimes:
According to Towers’ (Productions) casting director Becky Cattie, the hope is to find women who could give this [...]


Talkin’ Funny: Justin & Adam Co-host!

The hot cable access talk show “Talkin’ Funny” needed a fill-in host last week. So Adam and I went down and screwed up the show. It airs Mondays at 7:30pm. Check it out tonight on 21.


Who plays with Schad?

Tribune columnist and all-around social media icon Eric Zorn plays with Schad! Here he is with us at the First Annual Quizmasters Quiz Challenge! It was a close battle, but Schad ended up winning in the end!
What is he gonna do with us tonight? Not saying. But, knowing how much Eric [...]


Good Morning.

Good Morning.

Lenhart!

Here it is, last week’s 24 with long-time Schadenfriend Matt Lenhart (the white lawyer with more lines than I remembered). Matt Lenhart even once did lights and sound for Schadenfreude at Cafe Ashie while Stephe Schmidt was just a drinker in the audience (he wouldn’t be sitting there long). And for many of the readers [...]


Schadenfreude Kicks It With Rhymefest!

Back in April we were guests on The Interview Show with Mark Bazer. Rhymefest was also a guest that night and somehow we convinced him to do a bit with us. Mark just posted the video. Dream come true! Seriously, anyone who knows me, can confirm that my dream is [...]


So… He’s Impeached.

This is history happening right now folks! The first governor in Illinois history to be impeached. Right now, my parents are sitting in their McCain barracks saying, “I hope this doesn’t affect your guy.” (My guy being President Obama). Of everything that’s going on – this photo is what makes me stop [...]


Yes, He Did! And He Highly Recommends It!

Even back in the day, the media and public was fawning all over our man Barack! “Where did yooooou eat Barack? (giggle, giggle) Oh, you ate too many corncakes? (giggle giggle) You like the peach cobbler? (giggle giggle)” I am wondering if they were filming this as their Halloween [...]


Red Light Cameras Have Made Me A Fugitive

Red Light Cameras Have Made Me A Fugitive

As the city keeps adding more and more “red light cameras” at the intersections, I’ve realized that I’ve become a much more dangerous driver. It’s actually promoting the exact opposite of safety — at least for me. When I’m approaching a “camera intersection” and the light is still green I gun it to [...]


Christmas Came Early!!! Blago Style!!!

Christmas Came Early!!! Blago Style!!!

OK, it is now 5:30PM and I’ve been off-line for the whole day. THE WHOLE DAY! I’ve been dying to come home and write about this! I was late for my 1PM appointment today because I just had to hear the lead-in for “Talk of the Nation”. You know it’s a [...]

Best of 2008 Photos. This one taken on our lunch break during tech rehearsal for our Theatre on the Lake show. Those blue hairs had no idea what was coming!
