Carpentersville a soap opera

Posted May 23, 2008 11:00 pm

Every morning I sit on my front step, waiting for my Daily Herald to arrive so I can catch up on the latest episode of my new, favorite soap opera -- Carpentersville 60110!

Hey Bill, Paul, do everyone a favor and find some way to settle all this so that you and the rest of the village board can get on with the business of running the village -- you know, that thing you were elected to do.

Here's an idea: Why don't you guys head over to Dundee-Crown and get one of the coaches to referee while you step into the ring for a "Winner Take All" grudge match. Heck, have them pull out the bleachers and sell tickets for $20 a head. Besides settling the dispute, you'll probably be able to raise enough money to fix the potholes on Huntley Blacktop.

And, as a hype to build up attendance, you two can start arguing over what rules to use, Marquis de Queensbury or WWE!
