simple, you brought up "the canal system." maybe you should look over your post first before acting like a drunkard on this fine message board in this fine thread.

trump tower has a long way to go but good things come to those who wait.

Thanks for posting the excellent photo's. This is a really beautiful building. I've been inside a few of the buildings Trump has built, and from what I've seen he pays close attention to all the little details.

Aw man, here we go...

Who pooped in your hammock?

Two posts worth of name calling outta you?

I'm mainly just a lurker, and I normally wouldn't respond to your kind more than once, but in this case it's just too easy. This is good stuff right here.

Once again, my post in no way implied that a trench was dug from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi River.


SNL's post of contention (originally by GuitarAce):

"Actually...

Can the Chicago River really be considered "natural", since man has reversed its flow through feats of engineering? The only thing natural about the Chicago River is the fact that its waters still occupy an area that was originally a naturally cut riverbed. Even though it's still called the Chicago River, it really is now part of a canal system."


If you were just a bit more clever, you'd be able to understand written words. I'd be thrilled to continue explaining simple things to you, but I just don’t have the time it would require.

Now... if you can actually piece together a valid argument to support your imaginary contention, I'd be happy to give you a well deserved pat on the back. This will be no easy task for you though, because SNL buddy - It's pretty clear that even if I were a sot, my synapses would still function better than yours.



BTW... There's no need to weasel around the internet sending any more childish private messages to me, or continue stinking up this thread with your bile. Please, just think before clicking submit next time. It'll save us ALL some time.

Now I'm done wasting everyone's time. Sorry, folks.

Oh yeah, and I agree that Trump will be great when done.

Great tower for Chicago! Pretty unique for being a concrete structure instead of steel!

GuitarChump your midlife crisis is running away with you. Either you're old as dirt or you're the biggest dork of your generation. you're like a woman going on and on and on. blah, blah, blah. it's all the same from you. your mind is too fixed to see other viewpoints. Congratulations.
