\ I hope Thursday is still looking good for people. As planned last week, let’s meet at 12:30 at [Giordano’s](http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?Pyt=Typ&addr=310+W+Randolph+St&city=Chicago&state=IL&csz=Chicago,+IL+60606&slt=41.884537&sln=-87.635790&name=Giordano%27s&zip=60606&country=us&&BFKey=&BFCat=&BFClient=&mag=10&desc=(312)+201-1441&cs=9&newmag=9&poititle=&poi=&ds=n) on Thursday, October 17. Since “just to the left of the entry” worked so well last time, let’s meet outside again. ---

Depending on what happens in court tomorrow, I may be able to make it. Fa shizzle? I don’t think I own one. Maybe I’ll borrow Gundy’s. ---

Sorry, the shizzle is available by reservation only, **Hamlet**. It’s those damned Wrigley ads. I’ve been saying “Hoo ha!” too. ---

Unfortunately, my shizzle won’t be able to make it today; it’s gonna be sitting on a lunchtime conference call. ---

P.S. Looks like Chicago is indeed the City that Works, in contrast to D.C. Hmmmm… ---

Anyone who wants to do a quick 4 along the lakefront, I should be passing by the Buckingham Fountain around 1. Man, did I forget my sweats? I was gonna say I’d have blue shorts, but I guess I could just say blue legs! Valiant effort, **porcupine.** ---

Wha…? My boss isn’t here so I don’t have to worry about being late, I remembered to pick up cash, I even brushed my teeth! Rat farts! Good luck with the run, **Dinsdale**. Maybe you should try leg warmers? ---

I’d recommend NOT brushing your teeth with Rat Farts, **Gundy**. Kinda destroys the purpose of it. I had a shot at going this time, even if only for a bit, but I guess I’ll just cry myself to sleep instead… Maybe next time. ---

Knock yourself out, but we’re doing a work thing that day, so I won’t be able to. Good luck! ---

Valentine’s Day bump. I’m working now at State and Division, so could actually make downtown meetings and stuff. No, you can’t stop now. Pleeeeeeze? ---

I’d be happy to take the El downtown once the weather warms a bit. ---

I might make one downtown if the timing works out. I’m by Division and Halsted these days. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/chidope-lunch-bunch/125103.md?page=4) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/chidope-lunch-bunch/125103.md?page=6)
