In Chicago, “dibs” is in effect after a snowstorm, and the implements of dibs (painstakingly recorded by the hundreds on the “Chicago Dibs” Tumblr) might include a piano bench, a wheelchair, a car door, two vacuum cleaners, a chair with a few complimentary beers, a grill, a fully set dining room table, and all manner of Nativity figurines, including a mannequin torso perched on a board between two cinderblocks with the message “The body of Christ compels you not to take my spot”
