This one hurts. RIP Rick. Thanks for the memories.
I use to love mimicking Rick’s elongated “Top shelf where mama hides the cookies!” as a kid but the one that still brings tears to my eyes is from the ‘06 season: “Now do you believe?”
Hard to believe we’ll never hear those calls again.

I always remind folks this man went to Oxford and he’s putting on the accent. The “aw shucks/gee wilikers” persona is fabricated and there’s plenty of footage to prove it
Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA): “Why do you think that Chicago has become America's largest outdoor shooting range?”
Dr. Megan Ranney of the Yale School of Public Health: “Mississippi, Louisiana, and Missouri actually have higher firearm death rates.”

Things can get weird up there
Moments after the presiding officer tried to adjourn the meeting, and after the lights had already been shut off, Ald Ray Lopez walked up to an empty dais and made a motion to recess a hectic City Council meeting using his hand in the absence of a gavel.

@juangon68
spoke to this on
@wttw
tonight:
• US sending migrants back to Venezuela without their gov’s permission
• Today Pres’s of 🇲🇽+🇨🇴 said sanctions cause of migrant surge
• 21k of the 31k Ukrainians who’ve applied to come to Chi are here - none sleep in police stations
If one wants to stop *illegal immigration* then perhaps let’s have the US also stop destabilizing governments across the globe through sanctions and more subversive or violent methods.
Don’t start none, won’t be none.

“Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me,” Bradbury said. “The Bears aren’t going to leave one of the most iconic football markets in the country. Tell the Bears to pay for their own damn stadium, and if they don’t like it, to go jump in Lake Michigan.”
BREAKING: The Bears plan for new stadium includes $4.6 billion price tag, with about half of it coming from the taxpayers.
