I almost died once or twice on the interstate going through (well, around) Chicago... The year was 2000.... I was on my way to MN -- I hit Chicago at rush hour. I had never been there before (been there 4 times now).... way too much traffic for my taste, and the sun was blinding me. I couldn't read any of the road signs until I was just under them, so I was basically driving like a bat out of idiotsville. I don't know how I made all the right exits..... but I lived to tell the tale.

I actually HATE going into the city, I hate the traffic, the congestion, and the crowds. I prefer to look out of my window and see corn fields. But we all can't be wild partiers like you. WOW! I LOVE driving in the city. I hate traffic jams, because that means I have to use the brake. Best thing I ever bought was a radar detector. The tallest building here is 3 stories, so you can imagine my hickville ass in the city... "OH WOW" "AHHH KILLER!" "oooh...big building!!" I really should live there. Maybe when my kid is older and out of my money.
I live on 3 acres and across from a cornfield. Fugheddaboudit. I hate parking tho. We don't have to pay here. Nor do I EVER have to parallel park. They always make fun of me for switching seats and letting someone else do it. hahaha.so I was basically driving like a bat out of idiotsville. BWAHAHAHAHA. I'm stealin' that!! I always map my way there on Yahoo and Rand McNally, but the damn things are ALWAYS wrong. No one ever wants to ride with me because I either drive too fast or I get us lost.

My wife grew up just outside the city, now I have her living in BFE with me. We do not parellel park here either. When I go to friends houses I usually park in the yard! Hell she grew up with alleys, and parking on the street. Hell, I never had to park in the street out here. Tpless- I have a feeling you are not too awful far west of me.

HAHAHA! Damn! I wouldn't set an age limit, since I've seen some cool old folks that still know how to drive.... but yep, biggest annoyance here.... I had a guy laugh at me today because I switched lanes, then switched back...then when it was clear the other lane was going faster, I moved back... just to have him look over, laugh... then go the same speed as the car in front of me. Grrrr.
I swear he is the reason it's not legal to conceal a weapon in this state. I so wanted to beat him.
Women drivers rule because we can multi-task! *and what's with the gayness that we can't post pics? Why ain't it showing up? LOL*

a little offsubject but, being the admin, I can do that (j/k). anyway, tplss, I clicked on your myspace link and watched the "prom video" (that's PROM video, not porn video before the guys get excited). ;D At first i thought it was psycho, but I stuck it out and ended up laughing my head off. it was funnier than most things on TV that are trying to be funny. is that one of your friends?

Zowie! Mancow looks like he's pissing himself in the first one. Maybe I would too if I ever stood in his place! (hell, I'd be in a dead faint on the floor)
Two really good looking guys, though I find Mancow's personality a total turnoff. That's how he makes a living, of course, and maybe he's just in character on the air...but, man, I can't stand Mancow!
Who are the other two guys in the last pic? The big guy and the black guy?

Mancow is the one who got me interested in the shield just before the pilot, He claims daily the Shield is the best show on tv. During the first season He heavily promoted the shield, because he liked it! Chicklis heard about it and decided to stop by and do a show midway thru season 1(see both chicky pics). He acknowledged Mancows loyalty and has returned many times. He also was able to set up interviews with almost all the cast members on air. During the season we got to hear a actor from the show almost weekly. Mancow may be a bit of an on air personality, at least he isn't all strippers and porn like Howard stern who sold out to satelite at got less than a 1/4 of the listeners he use to have. Mancow talks politics alot, and I think he has some realistic non-PC views. If anything he does beat a subject to death. But I am a Chicago boy, and a mancow fan.

Zowie!
Who are the other two guys in the last pic? The big guy and the black guy? Mancows sports caster Al Roker Jr (black man) and Turd the Bartender (cows sidekick) During season 4 the Turd and Cow got to be extras. Russian arresties they were seen walking into the cage after an arrest. Al Roker was listed as the "black perp" in the cage. The camera also stopped on a mancow sticker on the black grandprix Danny confiscated which ended up being Big CHiefum Vics new ride that year.

Love the photos Badcop!!! I always wondered what Turd looked like. I will never forget him eating a big cockroach on the air. Or the one day when MANCOW made him eat a bunch of donuts and drink syrup of ipecac on the air. He waited a little while and then started hurling real close to the mike. It was horrendous. I wanted to barf. I was laughing, though, too. Turd has sure earned his right to be on the show.

Thats the interviews I was after, all the old ones. But I cant find them anywhere. Even Mancows website only keeps them backlogged for a certain amout of time. Oh well at least I get the podcasts now so I'll be able to hear any season six interviews.
But If you can remember any amusing stories from those interviews please share...
