I just think the novelty of these type of displays was up in the 90s, It's time for an upgrayedd. I propose leprechauns flying up and down the river wearing water jet packs, shooting people with their Chicago-style hot dog cannons would be more with the times. What's your idea?

The crowds it attracts today still are huge. What do you mean the novelty has worn down? I have lived in the area since 2012 and I still haven’t gone down to see this because I don’t want to deal with the crowds.

On another note, I guess I’ll be there in a jiffy if they shot me with an Italian beef - wet (not from the river) and lots of giardiniera.

Italian beef - wet

Ahh yes! The only correct way to eat ur Italian beef.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

Straight out of the river!

Yes, Italian beef for St. Patricks day. Hahaha.

In all honesty I wouldn’t blame you or Chicago, they are super delish. (Edit grammar)

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Haha! Yeah, I read the post before coffee that they were shooting Chicago-style hot dogs so I was countering with Italian Beef. 🤣

I should probably wake up more before commenting.

With the money they save in river dye they could paint the riverside with Italian beef, can you just imagine it?

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Now I’m hungry.

Fuck yeah. What's your preferred place to get from? Johnnies is the one I'm most familiar with and enjoy.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Johnnies all the way.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Cheesy, no peppers for me. But if they wrapped them in paper and shot them with a T-shirt gun, I guarantee it would be popular.

This is really making me miss home. Maybe I'll move back in a few years.
