1. As soon as I finished shoveling mine...
It started snowing again. And it got windy. And I got the fucking car stuck on the snowbank that built up on the curb that I never noticed.

I hate to say this...

BUT FUCK YOU CHICAGO SKY!!! :grr: :nuke:

2. Get your old dinette set out
So you can save the spot you excavate.

I'm bragging but I got a garage so I get to avoid street parking at home.

3. Not Me, That's for DAMN Sure!
I got my fill of that before Christmas...20" along 40 feet of driveway! I spent the better part of a day shoveling my driveway, and my back ached for three days afterward. You couldn't PAY me enough to shovel your driveway!

5. OK all you lazybones
I had to do it myself. It took me over an hour, all told. But it is done and the driveway is pristine.

6. You're a fellow Chicagoan, right?
How are you so lucky to have a driveway? I miss having one, but I have to shovel out the alley.

8. I shudder to think what the alleys are like right now.

But I got street parking on a plowed thoroughfare at work.

How am I so luck to have a driveway? It is attached to my house.

9. I would
I actually like shoveling. It reminds me of when I was little and I would shovel the snow with my Dad after a big storm. :)

11. I'll shovel yours if you shovel mine.
FUCK I need a snowblower... or a good kept man to do this for me.

I hate the midwest.

18. Poor, poor northerners
I used to be one. Nobody shovels in this town. We have an inch or so of ice and snow on the ground. In three days it will all be melted off. So why shovel? One of the fringe benefits of global warming, but it also makes it harder to pick up some spare cash.
