THIS WEEK’S CHATTERHEADS
Lynda Lopez, Prosser
Mariam Khawam, Lincoln Park
Lee Pikelny, Lincoln Park
Chris Betts, King
MODERATOR: Which sport or team would most likely have
vampires as fans, and why?
LYNDA: Batminton, get it? Bat? Ha ha.
MARIAM: Boxing. Enough said.
LEE: Baseball. They’d come to see the bats.
CHRIS: Any amateur sport — it’s more likely to have an injury involving blood.
MODERATOR: Sammy Sosa has taken a lot of flak for
using skin-bleaching cream. Make up a lame excuse for him.
LYNDA: He is portraying a zombie in an upcoming movie?
MARIAM: He’s trying to hide his true identity so he can play in the MLB again without being suspended for using steroids.
LEE: He doesn’t speak English. He hasn’t said that before, right?
CHRIS: Sammy Sosa got a permanent tan from playing baseball for so long and wants to start over. On a lighter note, literally, at least it was cream and not steroids.
MODERATOR: Tribune newspaper columnist Rick
Morrissey ate his words about Joakim Noah — literally.
What stunt would you make your critics do?
LYNDA: Go bungee jumping off the Empire State Building, just for the heck of it.
MARIAM: Do a halftime performance with the Matadors at a Bulls game!
LEE: Make them write answers for something called Chatter.
CHRIS: I would make my critics cook for me a full course meal. … I like food. … And cake.
MODERATOR: Mike Tyson was arrested for fighting with
a photographer. The only person who gets into
more trouble than Tyson is …
LYNDA: … Kanye West. The “I’m going to let you finish” plot has become synonymous with trouble.
MARIAM: … Chris Brown.
LEE: … somebody who forgot my birthday on Sunday.
CHRIS: … Terrell Owens. So talented yet so easily distracted.
