TullyHeel Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I can't believe that Robin Williams is dead, and that he took his own life. Really sad. It was appropriate that the clouds opened up and it poured down rain after I heard the news last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 It is amazing to me that years after Stone Cold Steve Austin started the What? chant and such a long time has passed without him being part of Raw in any meaningful capacity that the audiences still chant What? during promos. What a footprint that made! That has to be one of the greatest wrestling gimmicks of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TullyHeel Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Wrestling was awesome in the 80s and 90s. I still watch but it hasn't been the same since 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chop House Chicago River (downtown, too): Smith & Molesky's (sp?), Chic,. Steak House Near O'Hare: Gibson's in Rosemont Sports themes: Ditka's (He saw Mike there), Harry Carey's although he hasn't actually eaten there Steak : ~$25-$30 or more most places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsons is at least $40 for a decent low-end steak and it goes north from there. Most of these places are also a la carte. Not sure how to get out for less than a buck/buck twenty five, if you do it right. Thanks for the suggestions sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Just met Mike Ditka, so that was cool. Fraz, I ate dinner at Ditka's steakhouse. Not the best I have ever had, but very good anyway. And apparently, he comes in frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
