Are you an aspiring party promoter who doesn't have enough money to print flyers? Try posting your ad on the El, where it will probably get a few runs up and down the line before a worker takes it down. In that time, hundreds of people will see it. At least some of those people will want to enter a thong contest or pay $5 to drink in a stranger's house.
It's hard to see at this resolution, so this is what it said:
FATMAN TONG PARTYWhen: Feb 18 06 / This Sat.
Where: 6205 S. Hermitage (red house)
Time: 9:00pm - until
$100 Tong contest (women)
$5.00 for the man's (at the door)
Given by: James a.k.a. Fatman
Free drinks, food
I assume by "Tong" he actually means "Thong," However, it could be some sort of salad-serving implement reference.
On a side note, last night I was standing, shivering in the snow on the Belmont El platform, when the station manager announced a delay for northbound trains. Luckilly, I was going south, but I could see from my vantage point a large line of Red Line plains heading north backed up behind the train stuck at the station. I wanted to take a picture, but a CTA employee came up to me and said, "it's against CTA regulations to take photographs without permission."
"What kind of terrorist do I look like to you?" I asked, emboldened by the beers I just had at the show at Schubas' with Mme. Zunta.
"It's not about terrorism. No photos."
I mumbled under my breath and put my camera away, since my southbound train was pulling into the station and I didn't want to miss it because he had to get a supervisor to tell him that there is no such rule. I got on the train and took a photo of the worker as the train pulled out of the station. Unfortunately, the flash through the window ruined the picture, but I think I got the point across.
That sounds like BS to me. I've taken pictures of the el before (back when I still lived in Chicago) and no one ever stopped me. What a douche.
