PIMP and HO BALL 2007 is comin' to Chicago this Memorial Day, and Richard Roeper in the Chicago Sun Times suggests we head to Pimpdaddy.com, a site selling anything and everything for that pimp within us all. Here's the full article.

The cicadas are coming back this year, in the next few weeks. The cicadas are on a 17 year cycle. Every 17 years they come out of the ground, mate, then die. The babies dig and bury themselves feeding on tree roots and emerge once again 17 years from now. I remember the last time they came, I was about 10 or 11, they were everywhere, you couldn't drive in a car without running them over. They were even serving them at the Taste of Chicago, dipping them in chocolate from what I remember.

Also, a woman stabbed her former husband who wouldn't stop eating off her plate. Apparently alcohol was involved, no surprise there. Short tempers and alcohol don't mix. Full article.

And finally, even though your compelled to see Spider-Man 3 as I was given the last two films were really good, the movie was horrible. It goes from one random scene to another with no structure whatsoever. The final battle scene just comes out of nowhere. I was really disappointed with Sam Raimi, especially since I've been a big fan of his films since the first movies, the Evil Dead Trilogy. This is by far his worst movie.
