Obviously, while I detest his schitck, I don't wish ill on Woo-Woo and I hope he's ok. But I found bits of this story hilarious (unintentionally so, I think). Highlights below are mine:
From the Trib:
"Longtime Cubs fan Ronnie "Woo Woo" Wickers, known for his "Cubs, woo!" chant at Wrigley Field, was reported missing Tuesday, according to police.
"The 63-year-old was reported missing by his wife. He was last seen June 29 wearing a Cubs cap and a Cubs uniform, police spokeswoman Patrice Harper said. She said Wickers is "a habitual" missing person who "usually returns in about two weeks."
"His wife also reported his disappearance in October 2002. Wickers was home 12 days later, saying he felt ill and had decided to spend a few days out of town with friends out of state.
"In 1987 there were rumors Wickers had been murdered after missing some early season games. He was later found working as a pizza deliveryman and explained he couldn't attend the games because of his job."
