Harry Hutton: “These are the highlights of my stay in the Chicago Airport Travelodge. It’s a beautiful story, and yet it’s true.”

- Seriously, how could he be bored when the TV was showing topless potato-sack races and freakin’ Runaway Train!
It’s mighty hard to chew the scenery when the scenery is a multi-ton steel locomotive, but damn if Jon Voight didn’t pull it off. And topless potato-sack races? Makes me proud to be American, it does.
Bonus points for CNN coverage of (non) drowning polar bears.
- …remembering to state clearly “I’m calling about the ham.”
Words to live by.

- This is definitely the funniest video about boredom that I’ve seen yet. But the guy was a $1.75 train ride from the Loop and Rush Street, yet he preferred to photograph his socks. Whatever.Posted by Urbs in Horto on 2006 05 01 at 10:51 PM • permalink
But the guy was a $1.75 train ride from the Loop and Rush Street, yet he preferred to photograph his socks.
The same thought entered my mind: Coasties and foreigners *do not understand Chicago*. They cannot comprehend.

- With a rental car, he could have driven a mere 7 hours, and stalked Lileks.
How fun would that have been? He could have witnessed what James hauled out of Target on that particular day.
Also, Rush Street would have given as much entertainment as anyone might need.
The neighborhoods North of Chicago and along Lake Michigan, are some of the finest residential areas in the U.S. and make for a fine Sunday drive.
- OTOH, there are those who think that travel is all fun and games. My ex-wife evidently thought I was living it up every night when I was spending 3-4 nights a week on the road, not in Chicago, and in motels much worse than TravelLodge. Trust me.
Many nights I would have given much to have had such interesting socks and traffic and tv fare. Lucky stiff.
