8 years on blogger

Today marks 8 years since our first blog post. 3340 stories. Some good, some bad, some ugly. Ten's of thousands of comments. My, how time's have changed. Or not.

I hadn't followed you much now but I didn't know that drunken beast around here was named Gidget, I've had her arrested in front of Chipotle twice now.
She was attacking (yelling) people at Bop'n'Grill and they were just sitting there taking it.

The police didn't know if she was male or female and wanted to tase her, too.

When we elect Craig as Alderman all of this will change. Rogers Park will become Camelot on the far north side.

Tim said...

Followed you for many of these years. Thanks for all the information you've provided.

Chip Bagg said...

Only 8 years in hell...I'm looking forward to even more.
Thanks, Craig.

It could be worse, I used to live at the Lawrence House in Uptown. It made me want to vote Republican so they'd all starve and die, even if I had to be amongst the dead myself. That bad.

Keep on arresting her (Gidget). Guess she's back. Darn. Thought she was in a corn field somewhere.

Love the billboard on your home page.

Aaaargh. Gurnhardt for Alderman then for Mayor or Governor. Bring law and justice back to the 49th.

RogersParker said...

If you run for Alderman I will volunteer for your campaign staff. We can bury the hatchet.

Town Tattler said...

Apparently the mere sight of Craig's name in print is so stressful that someone with the initials PK convinced the moderators to remove his campaign for Alderman from EB. It must have given PK the royal shits.

I started following in 2005, great blog and look forward to many more years.

Most commenters on Everyblock are phony and shallow and I don't even believe they live in Rogers Park. I met you a a few times at community meetings. You are the real deal. Here's to 8 more years telling it like it is.

I'd like to drop Gidget off on a remote island somewhere with a case of hamdingers and all the booze she can drink, problem should sort itself out peacefully eventually.
I don't care about the social workers and the advocates, nobody should have to be subjected to Gidget screaming at you when you paid $15 fucking dollars for a nice meal.

With the fruitcakes on noblock.... that know ones who the fuck they are.... why would anyone in their right mind ask advice for a doctor to go to.... unless that doctor prescribed crack or anti-depressants? hahahaha

bigjohn said...

Some of the people who pose those questions on EB couldn't find their ass in a phone booth using both hands. They need all the help they can get.

Unfortunately, the resulting answers are like the blind leading the blind. And the site is further degraded by the combination of censorship and silliness that seems to have prevailed there.

Ohhhhh god, here we go again: "I hate Everyblock. Everyblock is so stupid. All the people on Everyblock are stupid. Boy, I can't wait to read Everyblock every second of every day so I can go to other blogs and whine about it like a little bitch." You people are so fucking pathetic! What could someone possibly post that you wouldn't bitch about? You seriously have nothing better to do and nothing else to discuss? You all sound like crying little pussies who were the last ones picked on the playground, and Everyblock is the captain of the team and all you want more than anything is for them to pick you.

We are attacking Everyblock, Feeble, because it has a big advertising budget and people flock there hoping for some helpfulness, and instead run into your fucktardery.
Craig spends his money on his bills, and the occasional rescued abused dog, instead of putting up ads on the CTA advertising a Aol-style uber moderated website that's just kittens farting rainbows and the get-along gang shit.
You stupid, obese loudmouth cunt, why don't you stop writing stupid shit on the internet for a couple of hours a day and do something useful with your life.
I have seen your fat ass waddling around and you could do with some more exercise, why not pick up trash around your North of Howard ghetto for a few hours a day.

RogersParker said...

I thought about it all morning, and I've decided we're pretty much the same exact personality, Craig. We both have narcissistic personality disorder! Let's bury the hatchet and be friends, maybe even more. I'll sit in your tub and blog while you work in your blog in the other room. It'll be fun!

Anonymous said...

Yeah! Go do something useful with your life! Like whine about a neighborhood web site that spanked your ass and told you to go away because you're a fucking nut job! Yeah! Whine, little bitch, whine!

Brownie Den Mother said...

Now, now let's just all get along, relax and have some fun. After all today has been declared National Prune Ball Day. Come on you dangerously unstable individual there's always room for one more in the happy tub. Have a King-sized Prune Ball and smile.

Fun Tub said...

Gee Anonymous those are pretty tough words coming from a big guy like you. I like Brownie Den Mother's idea better. Now go pop some roids and punch a wall somewhere else while we have great time in the FUN TUB together.

Philip McGregor Rogers said...

Rogers Park has got to be the toughest neighborhood for the moderators to keep straight (of all the everyblocks).

If you're referring to me and Uptown, I'm not a scumbag nor a gay condo owner, there were no chicks so I left. I eat Uptowners for breakfast
. They can't fight, they only have crack strength, no technique whatsoever.

Craig, you are such a dick I'm going to start throwing rocks at your window.
