Who's got it off? Or is it strictly a Chicago thing?

If anyone wants to cook some chow, play some music, watch some flicks, lemme know.

Madtown peoples... road trip? come down on sunday, drive back monday night?

what is pulaski?

I had never heard of this until I moved to Chicago.

Casmir Pulaski was a Polish count who became a national hero in the revolutionary war and later a hero to the growing influx of Polish Americans. There's crap named for him all over the country. I know in Savannah he's pretty highly regarded and people throw Pulaski parties. It's as much of a Polish pride thing as it is a revolutionary war thing. Never been to the Chicago one though so it could be entirely unrelated... but I doubt it.

Never heard of this.

basically, he got his cavlary unit mowed down by charging up a fortified hill, and i think was wounded and captured, and then his freedom was bought back by the american revolutionaries, and then he pulled the same dumb stunt of charging up a fortified hill, but the second time he got killed, and now I get monday off, so i was thinking about having pierogies in honor of my favorite pollock, Casimir Pulaski.

or something like that.

who wants pierogies?

guess its a chi thing

you mean i'm not your favorite polack? damn.

although i get at least one paid holiday per month, i do not get pulaski day off. enjoy yours!!

You're in the running, and gaining fast.

Try harder.

i'll make those pierogies for you, baby. fresh polish sausage will be yours... polish vodka at every turn. for dessert, a plate of handmade kolackys. oh, and i might let you cop a feel off a polish behind.

can't beat that, right?

wow. i'm polish and i've never heard of him.

It's a Chicago thing, and only people affiliated with things such as Institute Days get this day off.

The boy's got a tool named after him.

wow. I think I just drooled on my desk. I'm so hitting up the market for kielbasa on the way home.

There's a Pulaski Street here in Athens. Other than that, I've never heard of him either.

I think Ivan Putski is my favorite Pole. Pierogies are huge in the Eastern part of Nebraska, all the German, Czech and Polish communities consume a ton of those during their festivals. Kolaches are huge too.

Heard of Pulaski, but don't get a day off for him. Think it's strictly a Chicago thing.

Pulaski Skyway, people, and the tried and true accompanying joke that it was supposed to be a tunnel.

Arbor day is the only weird holiday Nebraskans get off for, I don't think I have planted a tree since grade school.

Me either & I'm Polish

Pierogies for lunch!

DEFINITELY on the right track. Up the ante to a threesome with another Polish hottie and it's a deal. After all, Casimir DID get me a paid holiday off, and all it cost him was his life.

if you're in chicago, i've got about ten pounds of fresh polish sausage in my freezer right now. granny gave it to me at xmas. you can have five of those pounds.
