I get a French Revolution, pitchfork mobs storming Bridgeview Water Tower to free Grandpa Sparky, Frankowski, Jeff Crandall and <insert other names here> from cruel imprisonment vibe.
I already did, hope you don't mind. I consider the @SaveCF97 account all of ours, just run by three. EDIT: @ChicagoFire When all else fails, repeat history. That always works. #HauptmanOut #cf97 #cfWhiteParty pic.twitter.com/RdDz8ogTVi— HauptmanOut (@SaveCF97) August 14, 2015 Our diseased friend has already gotten to it.
I just saw this movie in English class last year, but Prince Humpedink plays Charles Darnay, so I found it fascinating. Here's the Storming of the Bastille scene:
This probably needs to be posted in every thread: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/...ss-chicago-fire-met-0814-20150814-column.html
Has anyone here been to the white party? Im picturing a bunch of Wall Street douches talking about abstract art and their net worth.
Mel Brooks tought me everything I needed to know about the Ancien Régime. Much more accurate and informative than the histories I read by François Furet, Simon Schama, Albert Soboul, Georges Lefebvre, and so on. This is his masterpiece:
'Tradition, Honor, Passion' with the @ChicagoFire? Not so much anymore #cf97 my column http://t.co/7zSrEDBgZ3— John Kass (@John_Kass) August 14, 2015 I think if you click thru from his twitter, you don't have to sign in to the Tribune.
@John_Kass @ChicagoFire certainly Honor and Passion seem to have snuck out of Toyota Park, but Tradition is part of a club forever.— peter wilt (@PeterWilt1) August 14, 2015
Come on Peter what about the abomination known as the Spiderman jersey? That was all Andrew and it crapped all over our "Traditional" red with white stripe primary jersey. Even before that Andrew changed the stripe from white to navy.
Yes, but we still have Peter. He still goes to games and he's always there to give us back a happy memory. It may not be Tradition, but at least its something good.
Apparently Atul released a special press bulletin for Kass, since neither he nor the organization has bothered to post it anywhere else. "The organization however remains steadfast in its commitment to winning games and being a model franchise for business practice." Do we get to put a star on the jersey for being a model franchise for business practice? The 433rd example illustrating the need for a real president of the Chicago Fire. Dan Lobring would have stopped him from including that shit.
Not to speak for Peter, but I think he's implying that the past of happy memory cannot be taken from us as long as we remember it, not that the Fire organization is honoring that tradition.
Yeah, sort of the William Wallace sentiment. "You can take our colors, But you'll never take our Memories!"
That escalated quickly #cfWhiteParty #HauptmanOut pic.twitter.com/Oung5IXQEX— Chow (@chow3) August 14, 2015
