T.O.-verload Pt. I: The Wit & Wisdom Of Jeffrey Lurie

Wednesday, May 11th, 2005

“Yeah, baby, that’s right. See this space between my hands, Terrell? First, I want you to put all your desire for more money in that space. Then, I want you to take a shit in that same space. Whichever one weighs more when you’re done is the one you get to take home. That’s right, [...]

T.O.-verload Pt. II: The Wit & Wisdom Of Solomon Jones

Wednesday, May 11th, 2005

Okay, maybe I missed something. The man signed a contract worth more than $46 million. He got around $9 million up front. And he needs more money to take care of his family?

Mmm, Did Somebody Say SALSA?

Tuesday, May 10th, 2005

A friend of ours was just saying the other day: You know how on commercials for maxipads, they’re always pouring that placid blue liquid on, as some kind of simulated menstrual flow? Well, our friend says that there’d be a lot more proof in the pudding if they used SALSA. Chunky, red delicious salsa. I [...]

Choose Your Own Adventure With Ron White And The Gang!

Tuesday, May 10th, 2005

Finally. Finally, the damn Inky did something right. Hot on the heels of yesterday’s court decision, they’ve put up a keyword-searchable engine that spits out nothing but FBI transcripts. For instance, let’s say you love yourself some Ron White, like we do. Hey, but you also might be getting curious about Melanie Miles. Hey, [...]

The Cos: Bitch Was Sneezy!

Tuesday, May 10th, 2005

You know, the young people today, with their hippin’ and their hoppin’ and their bippin’ and their boppin’, they get sneezy, and their eyes get all watery and they need their soft young boobies touched by a man in a giant panda sweater…
Sorry. We just couldn’t help ourselves.

This Evening: Spooooooooooooooooooon!

Monday, May 9th, 2005

>>>Yes, we have indeed heard the new Spoon record. While not as testicle-smashingly awesome as the new Doves record, it does have its finer moments. But we’re not really the best people to talk to about that; rather, you should holler at those Plain Parade ladies, who’ve been loading up on Spoon hormone supplements for [...]

But Mom, YOU SAID I COULD BE THE NEXT D.A.!!!

Monday, May 9th, 2005

Never trust a D.A, making promises on your living room floor, especially if they’re sitting Indian-style:
After the race’s only televised debate over Mother’s Day weekend, incumbent Lynne Abraham disputed challenger Seth Williams’ assertion that she’d once promised to support him for her office, prompting Williams’ mother, Imelda, to enter the fray.
“When my husband passed in [...]

This Weekend: Laura Fields In The Hizouse

Friday, May 6th, 2005

Editors Note: Dude, we totally hate doing the weekend picks. It’s a pain in the ass, it takes HOURS, and we much prefer going out during the week anyway. So this week, we asked our buddy Laura Fields to do ‘em this week. Laura runs that BewitchedBy.com website, which seeks to help discerning youngish people [...]

Allen Iverson Wants To Hide You From His Raps. Or Vice Versa.

Friday, May 6th, 2005

Shit, man, it’s been forever since we even thought about that album Allen Iverson made and then shelved a few years back because he was such a lame rapper that all he could spit was faggot-this and faggot-that. Then, yesterday, we got all psyched when we came across an mp3 of one of the tunes, [...]

Oh, How We Miss The Old Gang

Friday, May 6th, 2005

Hung up on MOVE Nostalgia, the Peeple Paper is running a 100-page MOVE freakout today, filled with lots of juicy bits and old chestnuts about the time Mumia swallowed a dozen goldfish and then threw them up all over Dean Bitterman’s trousers at the big football game. Better still, there’s the requisite Where Are The [...]

This Evening: Cinco De Mayo!

Thursday, May 5th, 2005

>>> Everybody, shut the fuck up for a second and respekanize: We gringos have zero rights celebrating Cinco de Mayo. To even say it in your funny little I-took-Spanish accent while hitting on whoever near your cubicle borders on hate speech, so just take what you can fucking get. Luckily, there’s Paper Street/DJ Diabolic’s thing [...]

Oh, Look, Honey! Colorful Philly Natives!

Thursday, May 5th, 2005

The sign on the sidewalk on Ninth Street near Montrose clearly states that anybody in the vicinity consents to his or her “voice and likeness being used without compensation… for exploitation in any and all media whether now known or hereafter devised.”
