How do you like your meat? RAW RAW RAW
How do you like your cabbage? SLAW SLAW SLAW
How do you like your sugar? SWEET SWEET SWEET
How do you like your challenger? BEAT BEAT BEAT

Chicagoist came back from lunch chanting all of Don King's rhymes and saying all sorts of seemingly made up longass words, much to the dismay and eye rolling of our cubemates. But Don King's enthusiasm and way with words is infectious. Luckily, his hairstyle is not.

2005_05_don_king.jpgToday at the Equity Building plaza Don was promoting the Andrew Golota and Lamon Brewster fight this weekend and they had the official weighing in. Chicagoist should have told you about this beforehand so you could have gone down to see the crazyness, but honestly we had to get up super early for a conference call and have been out of sorts all day now. There's only so much coffee can do before it just makes you sick. And anyway, if your office is anywhere close to the plaza you could hear Don King start ranting at noon. Also, we got to meet a reader who works in the building next to ours. Always cool to meet readers!

Chicagoist should publicly say that we're rooting for the home town guy, Golota, but seriously, we're kind of thinking we like the half-naked hot guy, Brewster, who was willing to strip down to almost nothing on a cold, rainy day. Can't beat that!
