I’m sure they have something reasonably healthy on the menu…) As **jeevwoman** will tell you, I am not above the occasional greasy snack. And no comment on the fact that Thing 2 and Thing 1 have their own sites? You haven’t actually met Thing 2 yet, have you? Maybe we need to have a ChiDoggyDope at Montrose Beach this summer . . . ---

Well, for the sake of the others, I should clarify that “the usual one-handed weirdness” does mean foods than can be eaten with one hand, and that this means the other hand is generally typing. And that I have seen **jeevmon** ingest actual non-healthy food items. At least his eating habits aren’t as quirky as those of some of his relatives. (I do confess I hadn’t clicked the links. Lord, you two were meant for each other.) No, I haven’t meant Thing2. Are they going to have SDMB usernames next or something? ---

Notice that I am not commenting on “one-handed weirdness.” Just thought I would point that out. Now, if there are Chi folks in the UIC area who want to get together for lunch, I am all for that. Sorry I am not cool enough to work downtown. ☹ ---

OK, that was really a little more than I needed to know about you two. I mean more than I _already_ know. May I suggest you get a room? Heck, you already have several rooms! ---

Just a gentle nudge to the thread to remind everyone of lunch on the 18th. ---

Sorry I am not cool enough to work downtown. ☹ Neither I am - I am El-ing it in from the Blue Line Med Center stop. So feel free to join us. Are you at UIC west campus or east campus? And BTW, where are we going? **Eva** mentioned Hackney on Dearborn in the south loop, and no one objected or, more importantly, came up with any other idea, so I say let’s go with 1pm at Hackney’s. ---

See you there and then (even if I have to fight thru blinding snow!) ---

I’m on the west side (Polk stop is closest). My problem is that I have pretty much only one hour for lunch (I don’t punch a time clock or anything but it’s a small office and more than that would be duly noted) so by the time I wait for the El, get there, order, eat, and wait for the El back, it could be hours. Especially in THIS weather, you know how the El runs. ---

Ah, you know? Screw it. I will just tell them I may be back late. I get here early every day so I can take a little longer. (Besides, in theory I am sort of the HR person so who’s gonna say something?) So I will see you there around 1, depending on the El. (I will let **jeevmon** know via cell my whereabouts; worst case scenario he can order for me if I am late.) Expect my presence tomorrow, then. What an honor for you all. 😃 ---

If you are late, ought we to assume you (cough) got tied up? ---

😃 Either that or I am cleaning up the whipped cream. No, really, if I am late, we will blame the El. That’s my story and I am sticking to it. ---

I will most likely be there too. How will be know each other? I _think_ I’ll remember Eva Luna from the Dopefest last year, but I’m not certain. ---

Anyone know where the heck the ChiDope photos went? I can’t find them. Well, it shouldn’t be too difficult. We’re on the boisterous side, and **Zanshin** is really, really tall. ---

I have a couple of Dopefest pictures, but most of them are me hanging all over JoeyHemlock, which I don’t think will help us here. 😉 ---
