And then you dip the oreos IN the fudge. It’s amazing.

You mean they make a croissant into an actual doughnut?

“Ameya, it’s called a Horseshoe”

Yes, Ameya you could fit your whole body in just one leg of my pants.

Yes that’s the place. Gene’s Sausage Shop. Wow, that was really bugging me. They sell this bratwurst that’s huge, as big as your arm. And that spicy mustard, forget about it.

Mmm, I sure could go for one of those sausages.

I swear the schnitzengruben was this big. And it was delicious.

Yup GovJunk’s head has shrunk to size of that tiny brain. Scary

“Ameya, did you sit in the band shell area? The acoustics, I checked them myself, it surrounds you, the music… “

The pleats hide my thunder.

No no no, not like that, not “G-D America,” like I was agreeing with him. No, it was like, “G-D America, amiright Rod?” See the difference? It’s a big difference Ameya. Really big.

You loosen the screw like this and the toilet can be removed, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars!

“Ameya, I never understood how Augustus, in Willy Wonka, went up that tube of chocolate. It was like *this* big… “

I am begging everyone to not comment on JB Pritzker’s appearance. It is not relevant to any informed political debate and it is the definition of bullying. It makes you look mean and small. I am sure that JB is painfully aware of his size, and what people would say about him. I give him credit for taking on such a public and visible challenge as running for Governor. Illinois has many many problems, and the size of our possible Governor should not even make it the list of things we debate, think about or comment on.

Comment by These comments make you look small Tuesday, Jun 5, 18 @ 3:34 pm
Ameya, first you smash your cash into an opaque legal trust fund ball and deposit it in a Cayman Island bank. Then poof, you’ve created your own personal tax cut!

Comment by Soapbox Derby Tuesday, Jun 5, 18 @ 3:34 pm
JB did you eat the last doughnut ?

Comment by Silicon Prairie Tuesday, Jun 5, 18 @ 3:35 pm
Careful, Germans behind.

“Ameya, did you shake the Magic 8 ball like this before to looked? It doesn’t work if you don’t shake it”

Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Jun 5, 18 @ 3:35 pm
See, we’re in Lincoln Square. The guy on the top bunk, he’s gotta make the guy on the bottom’s bunk…he’s gotta make his bed, all the time. See, it’s in the regulations. See, if we were in Albany Park, I’d have to make yours. But we’re in Lincoln Square, so you gotta make mine. Regulations.

“Well, I can do that because I have my own plane. We can go in all one swoop”

Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Jun 5, 18 @ 3:44 pm
Ameya, I can’t believe you never watched Animal House. There is this one guy in the movie that….Oh, just go watch it, you’ll love it.

“No, it’s pronounced Hofebroy. Gotta get the umlaut right.”

“JB, seriously, it’s summer festival season. Have you thought maybe about dressing down a bit?”

“Ameya, this is me dressing down. I ditched the vest, didn’t I?”

Comment by Ron Burgundy Tuesday, Jun 5, 18 @ 3:53 pm
So Biss won your ward big, like two-to-one over both Kennedy and me, and you’re telling me you didn’t quietly endorse him? C’mon.

Comment by 47th Ward Tuesday, Jun 5, 18 @ 3:54 pm
No really, I’m a first baseman on a 22″ softball team. No gloves allowed.

Comment by A guy Tuesday, Jun 5, 18 @ 4:00 pm
==I am sure that JB is painfully aware of his size, and what people would say about him.==

He makes jokes about it on the campaign trail. Hell, the campaign slogan is a wink at it. It doesn’t seem very painful for him.

Although the fact that he can laugh about it is another reason not to go there.

Comment by Arsenal Tuesday, Jun 5, 18 @ 4:01 pm
I’m tellin’ ya, the toilet was already broke. Wish I knew who used it last. That’d solve a mystery. Yeah, all 12 of them.

Don’t forget to shove a rag in the soil stack. Don’t want sewer gas stinking up the house.

So you remove the round wax seal on the toilet and then you get the Berrios “nobody-could-live-there” special !

I was at Manny’s Deli last week, they have a pastrami sandwich that is a real 2 fisted sandwich, big as your head.

Comment by Huh? Tuesday, Jun 5, 18 @ 4:10 pm
Your new New Deal for Illinois was a good message but not a good messenger. People forget FDR was the original JB.

Comment by Almost the Weekend Tuesday, Jun 5, 18 @ 4:16 pm
Enough with the fat shaming! I agree with everything *these comments make you look small* said. It’s really offensive, totally beyond the point, and mean. Neither civilized nor smart.

Someone did not do JB any favors by making that picture public

Comment by Northside City Dweller Tuesday, Jun 5, 18 @ 4:34 pm
Wait, so you mean there’s a company that makes shirts that look good even when untucked and it’s called Un-TuckIt?

Comment by Chris P. Bacon Tuesday, Jun 5, 18 @ 4:35 pm
You’d raise the glass boot like this, and yell “ziggy zaggy ziggy zaggy oy oy oy” and then bottom’s up, down it goes. God I miss the Brau Haus.

===Someone did not do JB any favors===

It’s from JB’s own Twitter page.

I don’t thin he’s running anywhere…..

This guy, OneMan set me up with his guy at DXL after M. Hyman & Sons closed, you can get causal wear for the larger man.

or

I said if I hear Hey JB one more time on Facebook or anyplace else online I was going to crush a cantaloupe with my bare hands.

The point is, how do you know the Guarantee Fairy isn’t a crazy glue sniffer?
