Click: Just One Bad Century

The historically-minded Cubs blog has started posting positional matchups between the 1908 champs and the current roster (Frank Chance vs Derek Lee, Jimmy Sheckard vs Alfonso Soriano), while continuing to bolster trivia-obsessed categories like "Great Nicknames" (Bill "Buns" Madlock, Johnny "Bear Tracks" Schmitz) and "Great Mustaches" -- including one sported by Pete LaCock, who's also a favorite in the previous category.

Buy: Parking Meter Alarm Keychain

At The Fig Tree: 1037 W Madison, between N Aberdeen and N Carpenter; Warehouse District; 312.226.6303

Holding up to ten quarters, this keychain's topped by an LCD-display alarm that'll beep whenever it's time to feed the meter again -- meaning you'll still get ticketed unless you remember to set alarms better than you remember to feed parking meters.

Click again: Monitor Breaker

This bra-clad Chicago trader rants hilariously about her job and personal life intersecting, yet proudly boasts of having "****ed some of my coworkers". Perhaps not coincidentally, the posts dry up right after "Another Coworker Willing to get Risque on the Sexual Harassment Policy".
