What's the cheapest and best Chinese buffet in your nieghborhood?
Ooooh, I'll take #10 for 200 Alex!
I am in the process of writing mine, although I stole it from Chris, who stole it from Vikki, who stole it from McSweeney''s. Obscure Chicago triva is also on my list; we might need a walkoff.
Touche. Sometime we can do a comparison/contrast with Michigan divorce law.

Best Hot Sauce For the Occasion
Poor Ken Jennings must be starting to feel rather loserly right about now.
See, I'd watch that Jeopardy-off.
Those are some pretty specific topics. I looks like you may need to beef up on South American Rivers.
Hmmm. Yeah, when you're 9 for 50 vs. Jose DeLeon in your career, you're not that much of a plus. I can't believe Dunston was first overall. Or that No. 39 would turn out the way he did. Ah well, so it goes.
Elk-
Those will be on my next list!
Grant-
The Hong Kong Buffett, where McCormick and Devon come together (the Lincoln Village Mall). Great food, fresh, inexpensive.
Skyler's Dad-
Granted!
Lulu-
You have Chicago roots as long and deep as mine-- you might win!
Erik-
Fortunately both divorces were uncontested. It was the custody fight with ex-girlfriend that was ugly and expensive.
Kristi-
How could I have omitted that one?!
Barbara-
I think he's developing a complex. Trivia Envy, I think it's called.
Beth-
I'd be sure to rub Ken's nose in my victory!
Flannery-
I know about the Amazon. Are there others?
Alasdair-
The Cubs have been a constant source of disappointment in my life. My only consolation is that I don't live in Cleveland.
Everytime you talk about Chinese buffets, I throw up a little in my mouth.
