Nobody Put up a Joel Quenneville Bomb on the Corner of Clark and Wrightwood


By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com, @AndyDisco on Twitter

In this case "Nobody" is a proper noun and is the name of the graffiti artist. This the same tag as I previously blogged about, only on a black background instead of white. I like the new look and it is in the Blackhawk's colors to boot.

Great work, Nobody. The new tag looks great.







That's how I roll.

Awesome Joel Quenneville Graffiti on Diversey Ave.!


By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com, @AndyDisco on Twitter


Update: It was done by Nobody.. Literally, the name signed to the piece on the left side is "nobody." see for yourself here in a better shot I took today. I like the Odyssey reference in the title. Great work nobody! Can anyone email or tweet me some info on the artist? Thanks.



I was in a hurry and didn't have time to catch the name of the artist, but I will check it out again and post the name signed to the work. But this piece is fucking dope!








That's how I roll.

Cool Bannerhead Logo on the Chicago Tribune Today


I like it.

I wouldn't mind if the feathers were hanging from the, "C" in, "Chicago" and the, "T" of, "Tribune" were a Taser. As in "Don't Toews me bro".

Don't Toews Me, Bro


By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com


Blackhawks Captain Jonathon Towes (pronounced: "Tayves", rhymes with "paves") had a monster game last night in a home win in game two of the playoffs. Then I heard Pat Boyle of Chicago Sports Net say, "Don't Toews me, bro." and I about peed myself. I think most real Blackhawks fans had heard that one by now, but I'm not a huge follower of them, so that was a first for me.

I texted that to my friend who is the biggest American-born hockey fan I know, and also was baked out of his gourd at the time and his response was, and I quote, "That's it right there...You blew the funny fuse...You will never find anything funnier...Unattainable record right there. LOL..Awesome!!"

If you didn't find it quite that funny, ask your doctor if Marijuana might be right for you.

On the very slight chance you don't get the Toews reference, see below. Or if you did get the reference, see below to see something awesome again. Or if you would like to see if Toews looks like ex-NFL QB Drew Bledsoe, click here

NHL Playoff Tradition Upheld in Hollywood

Nice to see Tom Cruise is complying with NHL postseason tradition. Here he can be seen with his playoff beard. I didn't even know he liked hockey. I

TR Salutes: Swearing Journalists on Live Television

By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com


Here's what I learned from this gentleman's broadcast. (it's NSFW. Take that, CD in Tampa!!)


1) If you're reporting live on the Chicago Blackhawks vs. Calgary Flames for Rogers Sportsnet, don't assume that you can re-tape a segment just because you fumbled your words.

2) It's also illegal in Canada to say a word that ends in, well, "-ocksucker" on live television.
