Saturday Night Review

I was over at a friend’s place on Saturday night and took the El home. Everyone must have hit the bars early last night, because I managed to overhear these 2 gems on my ride home around midnight. 

Sasquatch fondled my balls. I mean, I would have robbed a bank sooner, but Sasquatch fondled my balls and then I was just a part of it. 

-A very drunk man on the Belmont platform. He came right up to my roommate and I, and accosted us in the traditional drunk and crazy Chicago way- he mumbled crazy talk at us. 

A: “Oooh, you’re, like, McBeautiful”

B: “Aww….” (Keeps talking about something else)

A: (Talking over B) “Oh, you should tell Emily that. No, I’ll tell Emily that”

-2 drunk hipster/sorority girls. I have no explanation other than: they were “sharing some deep shit”.

Email from the warehouse manager

thegreenurbanist:

“This morning we discovered many large, heavy metal pieces that have fallen from the overhead tracks.  We have alerted the city, but I caution all to not walk directly under the tracks for time-being and please be careful.”

Brown line is breaking down between Irving Park and Montrose.

Apparently all the delicious men hide on the Brown Line for the morning commute.

Can’t say the same on the Pink Line.

They do?

Hey Followers! 
I’d like to collect photos, videos, quotes, etc. from people on the CTA in Halloween costumes or doing other Halloween related shenanigans.
But I need your help. So keep your eye’s and camera’s peeled! This could be awesome.
