Aw, stop picking on the poor Poles. Like they don’t have enough problems trying to get up to speed economically and socially with the rest of Europe and the western world, the failure of Solidarity, and the endless jokes at their expense - now Chicagoans are shoving them up their asses? Quick, somebody call Amnesty International, or Bono or something. I mean, if you’ve got to go inserting foreigners in your rectums, God knows the French are far more deserving. Plus, they’re used to the smell.
What’s D&R? Or am I just really really naive? 
That’s what I get for not visiting often enough…
Duck and run.
I haven’t swept, mopped or vacuumed all week. It’s so bad the 14 year old boy offered to vacuum. I have six, yes six books that are three weeks overdue and I think the library has reported me to the credit bureau.
Magdalene, I hope it gets better soon.
Flawed and generally content,
Abby
This is why Chicagoians (Chicagoers? Chigagotans? Chicagotions?) always win the three legged race in the Olympics.
Biggirl, I think it is “Chicagoans”, but I’m going to use the term “Chicagotions” from now own…
Woodstockbirdybird, to you I say “giggle”. 
And really, it’s not like ass poles are endemic to Chicago, it just SEEMS that way this week. I used to live in Washington D.C. You know, the town where Kenneth Starr waved his ass pole around on television for two years. You could tell Jesse Helms was pissed off about something when his ass-pole flag was flying at half-mast. You can count the rings on Strom Thurmond’s and derive how old he is. Al Gore tried to have his surgically removed, but it was wedged in too far.
I notice this thread is dated June 22nd, exactly one week after my free night in Chicago.
Karma, baby. Karma. If you’d showed an out-of-towner a fun time like you were supposed to, Chicago would be treating you nicer by now. 
Seriously, sorry to hear you’re having a clownfest of a week. I do hope they all go away soon so you can get back to whatever it is that gives you inner peace and happiness.
Instead of a giant Pole, would two regular size Russians do ?
