THIS WEEK’S CHATTERHEADS
Tanya Mookerji, Barrington
Lee Pikelny, Lincoln Park
Lynda Lopez, Prosser
Graham Harboe, Francis W. Parker
MODERATOR: What do the Bears need to do to avoid an upset
by the Detroit Lions?
TANYA: Pray the other team misses a field goal.
LEE: They need to realize that they are playing the Lions. After Detroit lost 19 games in a row, allowing a second consecutive win would be unheard of.
LYNDA: Cage the lions in the Brookfield Zoo. Just a suggestion.
GRAHAM: Arrive at the game.
MODERATOR: Apparently Ozzie Guillen is not a big fan of
college football. What sport don’t you like and why?
TANYA: Golf. Do I have to explain why?
LEE: Fencing. I was really disappointed when I learned no fence-building was involved.
LYNDA: Boxing just seems pointless. Who wants to see grown men punching each other? People’s ears even get bitten a la Mike Tyson.
GRAHAM: Field hockey. Way too many rules.
MODERATOR: President Obama heads to Denmark Thursday
to pitch Chicago’s Olympic bid. Who else would you send and
why?
TANYA: Blagojevich, just so he’s not here.
LEE: Mr. T will pity the fools who don’t give the Olympic bid to his hometown.
LYNDA: We might as well send Oprah. Wherever Oprah goes, success follows. She was able to close down a portion of Michigan Avenue. Not many people can claim to be able to do that.
GRAHAM: If only Billy Mays was still with us. He can sell anything.
MODERATOR: Glenbard West beat Proviso West 41-0 on
Saturday. Find a silver lining for the Panthers.
TANYA: They’re still probably better than our football team.
LEE: At least it wasn’t 42-0. That would be flat-out embarrassing.
LYNDA: Well, it could have been much worse. There are some people that can’t even throw a football.
GRAHAM: They didn’t give up only touchdowns … a field goal twice.
