>>> How crazy is it that it’s a Friday night in Philly in 2006, and the only show we’re even thinking about going to is Ratdog with Bob Weir at the Electric Factory? I mean, it’s not like we’d actually go to the show, more just like hang in the parking lot, spend crisp fives [...]

Other perks: Soviet-style local politics to keep lines long, inner city youths re-invigorating the science of bloodletting and the fact [...]

I know this is gross thing even for us to say, but dude: I think Oates is lactating.

In its continuing blitzkreig of I-can’t-believe-it’s-staying-on-the-air, It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia gets picked up in… Canada! Which is good, because we’re tired of explaining our short tempers, snappy wits and completely backwards system of government to these people.

Because next to down-low blowjobs, the undying love and forgiveness of a nation that didn’t know how good it had it, a robot heart, an apparent “arrangement” with all womankind, SWEET sax skills, a super smart daughter, a sickly awesome legacy, great hair, a McDonald’s gift card that seems un-emptyable, what else have you got, [...]

There are indeed waterless toilets:
WATERLESS TOILETS!
I had a really interesting conversation about them with the State of Colorado’s Department of Licensing and Regulation Plumber Board about a year ago. They were talking about introducing them into the licensing tests, because more and more big office complexes are going that way in the CO. They didn’t [...]

FYI: The tree hugger article replaced the word Urinals with Toilets. It is wrong. No need to worry,
there are NO waterless toilets! There are waterless urinals however, and they are the focus of the Inquirer article. Waterless urinals are great. you don’t need you flush or touch anything. You pee and walk away.
Phew! And now, [...]

As pretty much everyone knows by now, the good folks at Johnny Brenda’s have been hard at work for over a year now on a live music venue above the bar that is already there. And we simply can’t front on this: We’ve seen the spot, and it is mind-blowingly rad. One snag: The good [...]

There is so much we don’t understand about this picture. Vance “How To Harry” Lehmkuhl (why does he look like a pastor?) playing piano with Bert from Carnivale, and the producer of “Blow Out” on harmonica. Oh, and it’s at Arianna Huffington’s house. All we can say is, wow.
