Well, while I was in Chicago, I met this boy. But not just any boy-
Double tree hotel, top floor, bat mitzah party, Skokie (Chicago), IL- Appetizer's are served. I am sitting next to this 11 year old boy. "Hi, whats your name?" I ask. And he answers with "None of your beezwax!'' Now, kids these days (yes, kids. I admit ), are, well, pretty obnoxious. But this boy was going over the top. "Okay, I just wanted to know your name. You don't have to be mean." " What the h*** is your problem! Shut up! What, are you retarded!" He started calling me some very mean words. including 2 different swear words. "Hey dude, watch your language" " If you don't shut up, I'll go get my sumo wrestler dad! "Sumo wrestler dad (repeat in empathises)" He says he is from Japan. He is clearly not Japanese. And his "twin" sister (Who is clearly not a twin of him") says that he is Japanese! What is going on! "So, where is this "sumo wrestler dad" of yours?'' I ask. "Uh, he's not here right now." "So where is he" "He's at a business meeting." Yeah. A sumo wrestler at a business meeting. Very believable. So, I finally ask the question. "Are you a Cubs fan (because he is to obnoxious to be true)? And the answer is very predictable for a Cubs fan- "None of your beezwax!" But then everyone at the table said "YES" Well, there is nothing I could do with this Cub fan to calm him down. So I just started to ignore him. But at the dessert table he started to be nice. Huh. Well, the party was still going strong. Soulja Boy's new and terrible but popular song Crank That was still playing. And the obnoxious kid was really nice now. But these two little kids were destroying me and rubbing there win in my face in a battle to collect the most glow bracelets. And they were not even Cub fans! Weird party.

"Torture" applies not only to the Cubs, but to the Cubs organization, the Cubs fans, and simply to anything having to do with the Cubs. But I think the Bears are worse, which makes the Packer's loss Sunday even more horrible. But we just have to remember where the Bears will be during the playoffs - at home watching the Packers on TV with their sumo wrestler fans. Same for Cubs fans. Made it to playoffs and embarrassed the division by going oh-for-3. Nice $125 million payroll. Their frustration trickles down to their kids. Nice i-phones - teams with no heart (and no brains). BOO CUBS! BOO BEARS!
