hot doug's update...

man-oh-man...i posted it and didn't think cats would be quick to get at me with more info. thanks to BIG B and nat for getting me flyers and links. it's much appreciated.

now...to the topic at hand. first off, im an idiot. why didn't i try to find the website more extensively? i have no idea. i was spelling the website with an "s"...big mistake. the site is hotdougdrop.com...the site looks great.

we know it's hard to get what we want in this world. hot doug's famous encased meats shouldn't be one of them. check out his specials and order dogs for the whole crew in the loop.

mad props to gary and nico for coming up with a great plan. like i said...cats love these dogs so why not get them delivered to your office? here's the flyer...

gapers block did a piece on them already...sounds like there's some friction between the doug man himself and the doug delivery cats...

-- Hot Doug Drop is profiting off the project, which in Sohn's eyes makes it morally questionable. After all, a big part of the Hot Doug's experience is the anticipation -- going and standing in line. If Hot Doug Drop turns out to be a big success, those orders are going to slow down production for the in-store customers, who've spent up to an hour waiting outside the store.

"I know the guy who started it, and I'm going to talk to him about shutting it down the next time I see him," Sohn said.


oh sh*t...if you read my blog then you know i love me some good ol'fashion beef. sounds like the doug-man isn't too happy with these cats. i wonder if they could come to an agreement?


see...look at how angry they are with each other!! pic from hotdougdrop.com

it'll be interesting to see how this all unfolds...for the complete article over at gapers block go here. to start placing your orders before this goes out of business...go here. im sure this will all work out...as we all know...C.R.E.A.M...peace.

haha! i can't believe i didn't catch that. actually, i can...i got caught up in the silly hot doug's delivery mania. that being said...is nico self proclaimed or did gaper's block mess up? wait...is there a ranking im not aware of? if so...can someone *cough*gapers*cough* tell me where it's located so i can post it?

f*ck it...im making a ranking right now...i ranked 22nd in the nation when i was a messenger. i think they vote on whether i make the hall of messenger-fame this year...keep your fingers crossed.

well hmmm. . .

i took 5th this year in the north american courier championships here in chicago. passed by only one other chicagoan, andrew nordyke.

over the years i've taken the fasted time in the flying 200m for the north american track messenger championships. i've won my fair share of tour da chicagos too~three championship rings. after taking the velocity tour title, i went on to place 9th in the world messenger championships in australia, where i met the curent champ, Shino from Tokyo. He's got my Chicago XXX Jersey.

not to mention my sancitoned racing on the track, road, cross and mountain bikin'.

either way, i'm comin' up with new stuff, like every single day. rankin' or not you can see I like to play.

ha! i know you got skills nico. i won't deny them...i was poking fun at gapers for stating, "nationally ranked messenger". no such thing exists. at least i don't think it does. many non-messengers read that site and they're probably gonna get the wrong idea. not about you but about some ranking that doesn't exist. can you imagine strangers approaching msngrs all over the city asking what their ranking is? oh-man...on second thought...that might be hilarious. it'll definitely change up the usual...how's the weather today, conversation...peace.

"There are no two finer words in the english language than encased meats."

21 (if ranked on a national messenger scale : bottom third)

well, nico, maybe next time you should try asking the guy if he's down with the idea first, ya know? this is completely rediculous. when he tells you no means no, please don't sit there and argue with him, respect the guy... something you should've done in the first place.
