Food Blob: “Wow, That’s Sooooo Funky!“
>>> Do you know how sometimes, you’ll be out with someone who’s either ridiculously white/sheltered/not from a city, and you’ll be taking them around, and they’ll be ooh-ing and ahh-ing, saying things are “funky” and “eclectic” or “offbeat” just because it’s not the low-middlebrow culture that they’re used to? And you almost feel like they’re being racist against you? And you just want to shake the life out of them? Well, bad news: Craig LaBan is one of those people. (Also, he’s still talking about “grunge.”) [Philly.com]
>>> Our Noontime Nugget yesterday, a trailer for the documentary This Is My Cheesesteak, shook loose some other interesting meatfilm info: Why yes indeed, there already is a movie called Cheesesteak: The Movie. [Phasmatrope]
>>> And finally, how humiliating is this: Snotty Urban Outifitters employees have smited Frog Commissary from the Naval Yard. I mean, it’s one thing to be told your lunch sucks, but it’s entirely another to be told your lunch sucks by a guy wearing an owl/wolf/tiger t-shirt. [DailyExaminer]

Clearly this proves that most (not all, but most) of the “URBN” employees (ugh) have no taste whatsoever, neither for food nor fashion.

He called JB’s “grungy” and the Rocket Cat “groovy”? OK, I’m a day behind on my Philebrity-reading, but he is decades behind.
