The holidays are fun, the holidays are amusing, the holidays are cute, but they’re also confusing…
Twinkling lights strung ‘round each and every bush; a meal of turkey, ham, and Mother’s potatoes mush…
Candied canes of white and red; pine needles in my shoes, hair, and Uncle’s bed…
But oh are they grand, fun and so yummy; I like the way my Granddad’s cracker stuffing fills up my tummy…
The tidings may be happy, the tidings may be bright; I find it odd that Brother’s pants never fit quite right…
So lend a hand to a fellow jolly man, his name may be Santa but I simply call him: Friend…?

Uncle sun warms my weary skin as I bathe my body in the sweet and silky beams of dust that shoot upon the naked canvas of what once was suffocated and shut out no more. Mercy falls and freedom fails, overflowing, bursting, bubbling, blasting off, burning deep within a familiar pit, these feels feel like the feeling of home. Touch my puddle, drink my mist, taste my fingers, lick my kiss. I’m not dirty, but far from clean. Wash me?
Before the fame, before the millions, before the blunder, there was just one man and a dream… Greg Bibington was nothing more than a regular guy with a big idea: How can I make bibs fashionable? What Greg didn’t expect was that not only would his dream come true, but he’d also be the new face of food fashion… Unfortunately, in the bib biz the old saying goes: “everyone loves you, till they don’t”… Greg “the Bib” Bibington would see first hand what happens when one strays from the public’s expectation, but how also salvation can be found while embarking upon the unknown… This is: Behind the Bib, the Greg Bibington Story.

We are in the thickness of October and chewing are way through this delicious prime rib roast of a month and absolutely savoring every morsel of its fatty, sweet, succulent, complex, flavorful, protein body. What a world we live in that us two gents from the big city are able to rap with you all about the bountiful bounty that is Chicago sports. Lucky is too little a word, yet its hard not to feel that way while mopping up the sweet sporty juices of a tender beef steak with a fresh baguette of data and fandom. Bon Appetite.
When one thinks of the major earth shaking events in history of Chicago football some tend to stick out more than the rest. For instance when Papa Bear George H swapped the traditional dead and decaying turkey carcass for a more usable and less stinky pig skinned bag of wheat, thus changing the physical and emotional relationship players have with the o’l kick’n gizzard. Or when Big Dave Wanstead and his coaching staff installed indoor plumbing in the players wash’n hole, kicking aside the old civil war era tin tubs for shower heads. Fast forward to 2024 and the major investments management has made in this year’s squad and we may just be privy to boring witness to the next BIG thang. Hold onto your hats.
From Paper Plates to Paper Bags, from kids named Cody to kids named Zack, from Pogs to Pigs, Russia to Reptiles, Robin Hood to Robin Williams the 90s sure were a rich decade. So much so it garners yet another revisiting of what really was big in the 90s…

Every once in a while it’s best to go back to bay sacks. You know what I mean… Those warm cozy sacks of hay that sit by the bay waiting to be visited by weary nomads and those astray… For thousands of years bay sacks have been a comforting sight, a welcoming softness consisting of a bright billowing blanket-like sack that yearn for a visit from non other than… you. So dive in, it feels good here :)
I’m sure you no doubt have had your mead fill. Unfortunately theres simply too much information, content, context, history, texture, juicy details, creamy middles, savory crusts, nutty back ends, fruity fronts and mouthwatering mouth feels for this Mead Saga to end. So as they say in the Land of Mead: Let’s make some “pour” decisions!
Mead is a honey wine. It’s made from fermenting honey. Ain’t that something? Some enjoy this drink. So much so that they have free standing buildings dedicated to to celebrating its creation. They also drink it there and talk about how it tastes, its level of dryness, fruitiness, stink, and how the subtle pine notes dance upon the tongue and throat when slowly gathered in the mouth and down the esophagus. What a time to be alive.
MY birthday is very important. It’s probably the most important day of the year, right next to Christmas and Memorial Day. Simply put, Its my most favorite day EVER! I love love love it. I really do. Everyone who knows me understands this and respects the severity of the universal acknowledgment of extreme importance MY DAY deserves. And why wouldn’t they. They love me and hence they should also love MY DAY. And they do. And that makes me smile :) So gear up gals because this year is gonna be big! Real big!! Really really big!!! It better be…
The 90s…
Ten years of fun, family, french fries, and freedom…
A decade of TV shows, tap dancing, tag and tang…
521 weeks of Wendys, wishing wells, Walters and wonder…
120 months of memories, muppets, mittens and mint…
3652 days of doorbells, dips, dip shits and dung…
What a time to be alive…?
With so much information out there its hard to compute what’s worth investigating and what to toss in the old trash heap. A good rule of thumb is to do a broad general search online where you will no doubt be inundated with a cornucopia of factoids and expertise first hand accounts that will for sure tickle your underbelly. After a few hours of mindless scrolling, word skimming, and video vomit, your eventually find your fancy. From there the world is your oyster. Dive in, enjoy the jelly and see where your research takes you. Cheers!
