So that's what the X on his forehead was all about!


Yes, it is widely known that Charlie has a deep fascination with the Blue Blob.

My understanding is that Manson actually WAS the Blue Blob.
Xavier will surprise. Never count them out of the Dance.

"Take Me Out To The Ballgame" was written by an Indy native (the music part).

Also, if you ever visit, check out the Children's Museum - even if you don't have kids. It's an amazing place that is only minutes away from Hinkle.

Gonna combine Chicago and Milwaukee.

The "Blue Ribbon" referenced in the name Pabst Blue Ribbon was actually won in Chicago at the Worlds Fair. That's right Pabst was considered the best beer in the world...
