Pic: America's ballsiest MSM e-mail newsletter

Yesterday's lede onĀ Charlie Meyerson's Chicago Tribune Daywatch. I'm sure the production ROI isn't there, but I hope Daywatch lives forever.

"You have another think coming"

Along the lines of things jibing and things champing at the bit, a note in the Chicago Tribune's Daywatch e-mail sends me to learn about the phrase I've always known as "If you (yada yada), you have another thing coming."

According to the e-mail and an Alt-Usage-English page, what you have coming is actually "another think."

(The page comes from AUE's FAQ, a list of construction possibilities that will please most word lovers. You voracious ones especially.)

Ballot stuffer called out (almost)

ChicagoTribune.com's "Ultimate Chicagoan" tourament is down to a Final Four. Cast your votes here. The site's Daywatch e-mail linked to that address today and added one note.

"P.S. Special reminder to employees of a Chicago-based financial services firm: One vote per person per matchup, OK?"

Daywatch again

After months of not receiving Chicagotribune.com's Daywatch, the daily e-mail is at last arriving in my inbox again. The culprit? Misspelling my name in my e-mail address. Not smart. But I recommend the newsletter to the Northwestern crowd. It spells better than I do.

Noteworthy

The Chicago Tribune's Daywatch e-mail was at the top of its game this morning. One of the blurbs: "Chicago police say the shattering of a $70,000 glass sculpture in the Dale Chihuly exhibit in the Garfield Park Conservatory seems to have been an accident."

The headline for that blurb: "NOT CHIHOOLIGANISM."
