Patrolmen reported that the giant Kraft Macaroni & Cheese noodle across from Wrigley Field was “toppled and compromised” by a group of evil doers at 2:15AM. Officers have encircled the noodle with crime scene tape because it presents a delicious-looking hazard to pedestrians.

…And finally…
She’s Not Too Fond Of You, Either
At 10:35PM, the 18th district alerted Town Hall officers to an incident near Fullerton and Lake Shore Drive in which a man threw a rock and spit on the driver of CTA bus #4158. The offender is described as a male, black, in his 40’s, 5’10” tall, with a tattoo on his forehead that says, “I Hate My Mom.”
UPDATE: A wonderful CWB comment provider shared some background on the “I Hate My Mom” guy.
- In 2009, a Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen union website ran this story.
- Earlier this year, a tattoo artist mentioned the “uniqueness” of such a tattoo in Redeye
- A 2009 Yelp! posting in which a user reported that a man bearing an “I Hate My Mom” tattoo on his face apologized to her for not taking his meds.
- And, then, the pièce de résistance on just-whatever.com:
Terrible font. We’re not so sure that we would have gone with that.
