Just a friendly reminder if and when you post: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, move the spam comments to the spam folder.
In the last two days, I must have moved 200+ spam emails from the comments to the spam folder. While I do not mind the upkeep of the blog, the daily bombardment of spam comments we are getting is bording on the ridiculous…
Thanks for playing and please enjoy a lifetime supply of Rice O Roni, Turtle Wax, and the home version of our game.
This holiday weekend, why not try something different then the usual beer while celebrating our nation’s history by blowing pieces of it up with fireworks, and sipping on a cool “Lush Lagoon*.”
*WARNING: Do not attempt to put out drunken firework induced fires with “Lush Lagoon.” Dosing the flames with “Lush Lagoon” may result in death or injury. Ingestion of “Lush Lagoon” may result in death or injury.
Somehow, E. Passyunk Ave got a glowing write up in some stupid travel magazine because they are rededicating the stupid “singing” fountain (“singing” because it has speakers playing sirius radio mounted around it). I believe the article left out one important part that I have personally experienced living in this neighborhood. I left a comment on the article to that affect. It reads as follows:
Just don’t let the older native Italian crack head and meat head bigots find out you are gay, black or Latino or they’ll beat the crap out of you on the street while the police look away. And beware the unemployed pharmaceutical junkies on xanax and percosets. They have no idea what they are doing and they may suddenly start screaming profanities at the sky or a telephone pole or anything that moves. There’s a TON of unemployed pill popping junkies in this neighborhood walking around like empty headed zombies.
An interesting one I liked: This one is for all the South Philly idiots that take their computers to geek squad!
And NOW, you too can have a smelly data dildo…. Now scented for his/her pleasure. I wonder if you can get a USB data drive that has bad movies on it that smells like shit?
Market street between city hall and the river is hideous. Instead of doing something worthwhile to make it pretty, we’re just gonna throw up a bunch of ads.
You all may know of my love of the Portsmouth Sinfonia. They were an orchestral band of trained musicians who were required to play on instruments they didn’t know how to play. (It is rumored that one member of the Portsmouth Sinfonia was actually disciplined for attempting to practice!) I was drawn into this by one of it’s members, Mr. Brian Eno. Here’s a head bangin’ sample of the Portsmouth Sinfonia!
But NOW we have this band called The Shaggs.
Thanks to Huffington Post for posting this, so I don’t have to describe it. Read the article, listen to the music/video’s. (If it’s good enough for Frank Zappa it’s DEFINITELY worth a listen – even if only for a giggle). Apparently there’s a live musical, play, bit, thing about this. I’d love to see it. Once again, I’m stepping into the world of theater appreciation.
Randall’s narration of nature footage always makes me laugh. Here he’s doing the 80’s cartoon Jem (which I can honestly say I never watched – I’m merely aware of its wretched existence). I think Randall sort of “jumps the shark” here. The reason why? NOT ENOUGH SWEARING! If he peppers his delivery with the occasional “fuckin” or “bastard” or “shit”, it’s so much better. I think this is meant for children’s TV. In which case, it seems we’re gaying the kids out at a young age aren’t we? HE
