OK, so Chicago is twirling around,
but putting White Sox hats on the lions in front of the Art Institute? This is bordering on sacrilege.

Yes, of course we took our pictures standing in front of it :evilgrin:

2. Chicago has decades of pent-up enthusiasm to vent
I thought they are cute. Did they really get a hat on the Picasso statue of the buzzardy thing?

4. Me thinks your thinking of two different statues...
well...maybe 3.

There is a pair of lions in front of the Art Institute.

The Picasso sculpture you speak of is in the same vicinity...but not the same.

What is it anyway. I visited Chicago a few weeks ago. My Uncle told me to meet him in front of that sculpture. I sat there for an hour staring at it. I think it's a dragon. But my Uncle says everybody sees it different. He thinks it's an elephant.

5. I'm thinking of the correct statues, I heard a rumor that the Picasso
which I think looks sort of like a buzzard, has had a sox hat put on it as well.

7. If I'm not mistaken, they put Bears hats on the Art Institute lions
for Super Bowl XX.
