I love Mrs. Biel's project and her class. Anyone visiting Chicago should be required to review this web page!
omg the marshall field's projects in Mrs. Biel's class makes me want to cry!
;(
Not to be too big of a dick, but that Water Tower sucks...
You are a dick, Pinko.
I know.
But that's why we love you...
But not as much as that handsome devil, Plumbum82.
I AM HANDSOME TOO
What was said about me?
OMG, those kids sure do love rhetorical questions.
"What’s that question you just asked? That’s a good question. When does it open and close? It opens at 9 a.m. and closes at 5 p.m."
Ah, the models are just too cute. My favorite is Navy Pier with a gerbil wheel as the ferris wheel, and a bathtub toy for a boat.
Of course you are matty. I just didn't think it was fair to compare you to Plumbum. He's sensitive you know.

Happy Belated B Day to Mamma Lyons!!!!!!
And of course tell her thanks for her support for Commentator of the Month. I think I have it pretty much on lock, so the coffee she was going to have for my candidacy is probably not needed.
opps "Momma" :-)
it looks like the kid who did the rookery building at the bottom just pasted a picture of the building to a cardboard box. that's weak. although, i'd probably do the same thing if i were in this class
i love how they say field's "gives" chicago food and clothes as if it's a homeless shelter. classic. those are pretty awesome. "wow!"
I love this one:
"The Sears Tower is the tallest building in the world! If you don’t believe me, it’s 1,454 feet tall for crying out loud!!"
I really should have used the phrase "for crying out loud" more through college. It shows how much you really mean whatever you're saying. For example:
"Soldiers in WWII, charged with sexuality, sought to assert their masculinity in phallic-shaped manifestations. If you don't believe me, check out those nearly-naked babes on their pointy plane noses for crying out loud!"
@Pinko:
"Not to be too big of a dick, but that Water Tower sucks..."
I don't think that you're being a dick at all. I would agree, for a number of reasons.
