He's lucky it's a cool day. You get downwind of some of those young off the boat polish chicks and you'll never forget the smell.
yeah, i checked it all out because i was open to an idea for some fun until i saw what it is :mj07:
Ya'll Indy cats can pass on this. I had a good time because I got to watch a few aged power drinkers and pot heads for a night, talking about memorable times 40 years ago during their youth when they dropped "tick". Took Lake Shore Drive all the way to Indy Blvd. In the famous song about LSD, I think the writer missed a whole lot of culture along the way south of Chicago.
Best part was being in the shadow of the Whiting refinery. Theee refinery that's been in the news dumping wonderful things like MERCURY into the lake:com: . I don't know all the facts of the story but I got a feeling a little MERCURY goes a long way. Thank God I'm not planning on having any kids. The town is right next to the Horseshoe Casino.
BBC, they don't all smell, but they don't all shave in the right places either, and as we have talked about in the past each female brings a 5 pk/day habit. There were some keepers though styling with "Nice Pierogies" shirts.

100-pound dumpling caps Pierogi Fest
WHITING ? A businessman who said a dead relative told him in a dream to cook the world?s largest pierogi believes he and a friend did just that Saturday at Pierogi Fest.
Tim King said his uncle sent him on a mission to create a monster dumpling filled with potatoes and cream cheese when he appeared in a dream three years ago.
?I am half-Polish and have been around pierogi all my life. And, believe it or not, I had a dream about my Uncle Emil, who is deceased,? King said. ?We were eating pierogi together and he told me to cook the world?s largest pierog.?
King?s friend, former chef Eric Mansfield, helped devise the cooking plan.
Mansfield said it took 25 pounds of flour, 261/27 dozen eggs, a gallon of water, 40 potatoes, two pounds of butter and months of planning to make the 48-by-35-inch, 100-pound pierog.
A custom-made pot was used to cook it. Mansfield and his assistants then slathered it with buttery onions as it cooled. After a round of picture taking, they cut it up and served it.
Whether it is the world?s largest pierogi remains to be seen. King said the Guinness Book of World Records ignored their request to be included in the next edition. But that didn?t phase him or his crew.
They plan to top themselves every year until the Guinness people have no choice but to pay attention.
?I?m just helping out a friend,? Mansfield said. ?Tim wanted it done, and I did it. It was different. It was definitely different, but it was cool. I wish Guinness would have come here for this.?
