videoeditor1 Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 ... http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,128625,00.html One group of tourists in Chicago got a little too up close and personal with another touring group with the second group's bodily fluids, at least. Chicago's First Lady, a sightseeing boat, was taking over 100 people on a tour of the city's world-famous architectural landmarks Sunday afternoon, reports the Chicago Sun-Times. The captain warned passengers not to look up with open mouths while passing underneath the grated bridges over the Chicago River, reports the Chicago Tribune, or else they might get a "taste of Chicago." At 1:20 p.m., the boat paused underneath the Kinzie Street bridge (search). That's when one, or maybe two, tour buses passed overhead and emptied their sewage tanks onto the boat below. "It went onto people, into eyes and mouths," Lynn Osmond, president and CEO of the Chicago Architecture Foundation (search), told the newspaper. Chicago's First Lady immediately went back to its dock, Osmond said. Some passengers became nauseous and ran below decks to the bathrooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I guess it depends on the perspective. Usually it's a metaphor.... "For instance" is not proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groovepusher Sly Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I usually stay inside the boat, until we've gone under all the bridges. Just something I always did. I think it might be because when I was a kid and we used to walk across the Chicago River bridges, we would lean over the rail and try to spit on targets. I know it was nasty, but it was fun, back then. Sly Whasineva ehaiz, ehissgot ta be Funky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip OKeefe Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 You'd think that in this day and age, people wouldn't be dumping raw sewage into rivers anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That club where buddy owns; I wanna jam there...Thank it'll hoppen? I do..Good idea - Ratsy and I went up to Chicago and jammed in some of the clubs at the open jams - Buddy Guys has a jam that my wife got to sing in another time - very fun. I never smelled anything funny up there though - just got blown around in between the buildings... Don't forget to tour the old Chess Studios if they're still open you can see some cool physical concrete reverbs and swinging panel EQs from a bygone era!

Super 8 Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Gosh, I thought they rented hooded sludge coats for a few bucks a piece. 'Round these parts you don't wanna get caught without your sludge coat. Or, at least your umbrella hat... http://www.funfolly.com/g/hats/humb2ord.gif This woman is smiling because she knows she's ready for a Chicago boat ride!
