If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Chicago a week on sunday then?
i am flying at 6.30pm so i guess i need to get to the airport about two hours before i guess. So essentially accouning for my hangover i will be free from about 12-3, which to my mind equals lunch somewhere on ro around Michigan Avenue.
thoughts?

No need for a black hole generator, Besty's circuits are directly linked to a black hole in space!
Or something.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

That map, frankly, is terrible.
Chicago
Navy Pier is due east of your hotel. It offers food and more importantly, (expensive) parking.

Why doesn't it surprise me that Compy's preferred hang-out is called "Navy Pier"?
Ooh-er, missus. Hello, sailor. And other assorted gags lifted from Carry On... Computron.
Grrr. Argh.

Now that Besty's out of the room, we should throw paper airplanes at each other, or write "Mr. First is Smelly!" on the blackboard, or perhaps even pee in the corner, or yank the hair of the girl sitting in front of you.
