Thinking about the Pope wearing a Walter Payton jersey and Riddell shorts, listening to The Shuffle.
Bears fans preparing to riot but the stadium puts Serengeti's "Dennehy" on the PA and they all calm down instantly and begin milling about harmlessly. "Keep the juice in your chops," they mutter to each other, absently if still somewhat warmly. "Keep the juice in your brats."

Tonight I saw a Nissan NV200 NYC Taxi at 96th & Michigan Road. Like, still in its livery, still with the thing on the top that taxis have, etc. One hell of a fare to get all the way to Indianapolis.
