By coincidence I happened to notice earlier tonight that Ronnie Woo Woo is 148-1 in the 2005 Mac, Jurko and Harry dead pool.

In other news, the Cubs just blew a 5-1 lead.

Back in the day we lived on Belmont & Sheffield & had some neighbors of college age who knew how to rock the house. Every weekend they had a bash or three that (literally) spilled into our place. A favorite of theirs was to take the window sashes out and hang onto the frames 3 stories over Sheffield.

Anyway, one Sunday morning we're coming back from having read the paper at the beach and we see/hear this tremendous crash.

The aforementioned window frame has crashed to the sidewalk below. Then, quick as a wink, one of the neighborhood homeless guys JUMPS into the pile of debris, screaming 'help me, help me, call 911!'. We knew these guys practically on a first name basis; they hung out on our steps and were major-league scammers

We're all standing there laughing at the guy when someone yells, "OK, I called 911". So I go inside and call 911 and tell them it's a hoax, and the operator says, 'once we roll we have to make the call'.

Sure enough, the guy gets a ride to Illinois Masonic, a clean bed for the night and three squares. Damn! Woo Hoo!

I have some cousins who are cops and have had to deal with Ronnie Woo Woo. Apparently he is not allowed in most of the bars near Wrigley Field because he tries to steal money left on the bars by patrons. He has also drinks left over drinks left on the bars to.
