Penny for Foo's Thoughts?

If you see a penny pick it up unless it's too big to put in your pocket. Foo just couldn't resist this one, though. It was almost big enough for the amount of stuff Foo thinks about. When he put it down, though he said something about it tasting a little like blood... weird...

Hats Off to Foo!

This history hat in the glass clearly had a lot to say, so much so that it was spewing letters forth from its brim.

But since Foo couldn't get to that one, he decided to try on one of his own. He thinks he makes quite the dashing figure. Almost presidential as it were.

Lincoln Double

Foo loved this before and after Lincoln mold. Without beard, with beard. Hmm... decisions. Foo thinks the Lincoln with the beard knows more... but it just might be the beard.

Real Chicago Dog

This t-shirt said it all... at length... about what it means to be a real Chicago hot dog. Foo is also a real hot Chicago dog, but he prefers if people lay off the condiments where he is concerned. They get sticky.

Foo's Got the Blues

Brothers, that is. These two cool cats always welcome Foo home for some crazy blues hopping action. Hit it boyz!

Two Foos Up

Foo just loved meeting Siskel and Ebert and getting to give his two cents on the latest films. He hasn't seen much in the theaters lately, but he gave Two Foos Up on the new Lincoln film based on what he's heard from his friends.

A Man in the Bush

When Foo cam across this guy, he just had to wonder whether the saying still hold if it's a man in the bush and not birds. Regardless, Foo really dug his outfit and looked around the souvenir shop to find one for himself. Alas, no winged hats...

Foo-Size Tower

Foo just loves when he can find big monuments that are just his size. Then he can take them home and play at world domination... er... wait... house... er... mayor of Chicago... yeah...

Tower Guide

Foo was such a good tour guide while up in the tower that he was even offered a job by beautiful Miss Earlene. He just gets love everywhere he goes. Probably because he has so much Foo to give.

Tour Til You Drop

After braving the glass with some decorum, Victoria, Jonathan and Foo went for broke... or to be broken... when Victoria decided it would be funny if Foo dropped from all the way up there! Foo played along in the moment, but he was not pleased.

Braving the Glass

When Foo heard about getting to go out onto the glass floor and stand looking straight down at the street so far below, he was a little nervous and made Victoria go with him.







Eventually he got brave enough to got out there himself, but wow was that a long way down.

Western View

Foo just loved all the views he could see of the city, including this one that let him see all the way west. If it hadn't been a little cloudy, he could have seen his old house.

Foo's On Top!

The journey to the top was totally worth it so Foo could check out these amazing views of the city from the Sears Tower.

He started collecting a crowd as he yammered on and on about all the cool buildings they could see to the north.

When they looked to the south and could almost see Solider Field behind those tall buildings on the left, he bragged about going to the game that Sunday. One Bears fan was so jealous he actually passed out and stopped Foo's presentation altogether. Geez they take football seriously! 

Fun Foo Facts

While Foo waited to get up to the top of the Sears Tower, he engaged in some pretty harrowing feats, such as crossing this high-flying beam, but really he just learned some interesting tower facts.

He learned that the observation deck for the Sears Tower was on the 103rd floor.

He also learned that the elevator was really a great idea because otherwise, he'd have to climb up and down 2,232 steps. That's not exactly fun.

Iconic Chicago

Foo was so excited to be back in Chicago that he wanted to make sure he saw all the iconic highlights.

First stop? The iconic Sears Tower. He adamantly refuses to call it the Willis Tower because that just makes it the Big Willie, and that's just wrong...
