Obama's 'Ferris Wheel to Nowhere'??

It's not like Chicago (or any other city) has more important things to be spending money on I guess

That's right, I'm Abe Froman!

The Sausage King of Chicago?

I assume this is also related to the Olympics. I live in Chi-town and I am all for this. No real expense to the city and potential income...sounds good to me.

My sentiments exactly. It seems strangeguitar had nothing worthwhile to say, so he posted a picture of a skank with a name similar to 'ferris'.

Even amongst those whose tastes would appear run to the low end, this young lady seems to be a bit nasty. Does her mother know that she's posing provocatively with rotted fruit on the interweb?

Will they put it next to the watertower that says "SAVE FERRIS"?

TeddyRooseveltsMustache: 9 times.

I cannot hear somebody refer to something occurring nine times without interjecting that I had no recollection of it occurring nine times. Got me out of a ticket.

/Nine time? I don't remember backing over him nine times!
//Yeah, guess that IS kind of unbelievable. Alright, you're free to go
///Yahtzee!

Well... after RTFA.

They are "hoping that someone will self-finance it".... meaning they want it to be the "TacoBell Wheel of Chicago Sponsored by Verizon" or some such other capitalistic endeavour.

my bad

GIS for "totally random pic":

windy city + ferris wheel = lawsuit

The Columbian Exposition of 1893 is a hobby of mine. I have a lot of neat collectibles from that fair. My prize is one of the original 36 model cars that Ferris used to demonstrate his wheel to investors.

/so I'm getting a kick out of these replies?

BigDumbGuy: Is there something wrong with the current one?

Yes. It is too small, it should be the same size as the Ferris Wheel in the 1893 World Columbian Exposition.

He'll keep calling me, he'll keep calling me until I come over. He'll make me feel guilty. This is uh... This is ridiculous, ok I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go. What - I'LL GO. Shiate.

This will end well.

Hey, batterbatterbatterbatterbatter, SWING batter.

Is everybody that seriously retarded they can't tell that's a chocolate dipped banana? Am I the only one? I mean, just look at the pixels.

As a Chicago resident I'm usually opposed to everything the city does, but in this case they want to finance it privately so I really don't care.

I'm pretty sure that's a normal banana that happens to be dipped in chocolate, rather than rotten.

I guess Ferris doesn't carry the same weight as Real Genius around here.

If it's made entirely out of iron, would it be a freeous wheel?

/Tyr your waitress. Tip the veal.

Never had one lesson!

/I was just thinking of this movie today, for some reason

I am MUCH more impressed by the original wheel in 1893 that held 2,160 people.

just a bit outside!

Witty Comment: Is everybody that seriously retarded they can't tell that's a chocolate dipped banana?

You shouldn't concentrate too much on the banana. The young lady (and I use that term out of convention when speaking of females between 18 to 25 and not her social status per se) is a skank who is not particularly alluring.

Slim does does not equal attractive. Not only are her knees sharp, the outline of her breasts, even in whipped creme, is small.

DUDE Alan Ruck was on Psych last night.

AND he was on Eureka earlier this summer.

The dude is just freaking amazing.

/LET MY ALAN GOOOOOO

Should I bite her hand off then?

Taken in 2003 while stopped at the very top of the ferris wheel in Ocean City, MD

Not that big of a ferris wheel but having them stop us at the very top for a good min was cool.

They already have priceless works of art, baseball, pancreas . . .

Besides, the question isn't what kind of Ferris wheel are they going to build. It's what kind they aren't going to build.

...the key word.

Knowing Govt... instead of "financed by the private sector" it will be "financed by the public sector with benefits going to the private sector" - (which will be friends of the Chicago politicians).

Unless they say it WILL be privately financed... dont think for a minute that they wont seize the chance to be a power and money broker.

great, another thing for St. Louis to feel inferior about.

BigDumbGuy: Is there something wrong with the current one?


Nothing. It even provides its own lights.

/what?

So that's how it is in their family.

So what happens in the winter? Isn't that a waste of cash?

FiestyIrishVixen: So what happens in the winter? Isn't that a waste of cash?

Ocean City, MD becomes a ghost town in the winter as well but that still doesn't mean they don't have a great town to visit during the warm months.

In the winter they don't run the ride. It's that simple.
