FRIDAY:
>>> In Jolly Old Englund, Mischief Night is a chance for all of the merry young people to play clever pranks on their elders; here in Philadelphia, it’s an excuse for our finest street urchins to commit violent crime — they get more “points” if you’re a minority in whatever particular neighborhood you’re in — [...]

Want a fun Friday afternoon activity? Try calling around, attempting to confirm that Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Chris Cornell and the guitarist from Alice In Chains (whoever the hell that is) are all going to be semi-”secretly” joining Pearl Jam onstage at the Spectrum tomorrow night for an all-star jam, immediately following the [...]

Hopefully, you’ve stocked up on milk, bread and eggs, because Sunday is sure to be a TRAFFIC BLIZZARD:

We cannot tell a lie: It makes us feel nice just knowing that Tweed Ride Philadelphia even exists. What better way to enjoy a Saturday in Novemeber, after all, than comb your moustache, deck yourself out in your finest tweed, and take a leisurely ride around the city with others who, like you, share an [...]

Everybody, this is Malcolm Washington. Malcolm is a freshman at University of Pennsylvania and has just joined the Quakers Basketball team as a walk on. Malcolm is also the son of some guy named Denzel Washington, who made a movie or something here one time, thereby imbuing Malcolm, if he chooses to activate it, an [...]

The Spinto Band, who just released their new EP, Slim & Slender, were kind enough to pass along the just-completed video for the track “Jackhammer,” off of said EP. The video — full of earthy notes and copping a slight “Sledgehammer” vibe — was directed by Phil Davis. The Spinto Band will be back in [...]

· All week long, just across the hall from our office, NY artist Jason Hackenwerth (the dot-sized man you see above) has been assembling and installing his latest show, The Titan & The Fireflies; we don’t really wanna spoil it for you, but suffice it to say that the show is just about ready, and [...]

>>> Right after work, our esteemed editor PREDICTS THE FUTURE OF THE NEWS! Oh, Jesus.
>>> Then, of course, there is the game. We predict it will go something like this. Until you have eaten the steak or the rice and the beans with us, you do not know what it is to call us “men.”
>>> [...]

We don’t need to tell you that Cliff Lee is cool like motherfucking Fonzie. I mean, you saw that/those catch(es) last night, right?

Sit on it, Yankees! Or as Clifzie likes to say…

But did you also know that it was Clifzie who totally shut down John Goodman in The Natural?

It’s on YouTube, so it must be [...]

A study released by San Antonio-based market research firm Pear Analytics revealed what we’ve known all along: most people don’t use Twitter for news. They don’t even use it for self-promotion. They use it, officially, to tweet “babble” and “conversation”.
Pear Analytics’ methodology was elegant: They randomly sampled Twitter Monday through Friday, every 30 minutes from [...]

Not only does Bensalem boast the HQ of notorious Susan Finkelstein and the lameass donut-eaters who, uh, “stung” her, now they are being given the opportunity to bask in the glow of other headline news: 50 cent will be screening his directorial debut, Before I Self-Destruct at the AMC Neshaminy 24 on November 3 at [...]

He’s a power-hitting second baseman. Do you know how rare that is?

Above, Reggie Bugmuncher of Olde City Sideshow channels former Temple University student Ted Bundy for Philly photog Charlie’s Rippers‘ 2010 calendar, which features “12 of the most notorious serial killers on Earth portrayed by 12 of the most beautiful pin up models in Philly.” To which we say: What, no Gary Heidnik?

From a press release economically titled, “INSPIRED BY THEIR RESPECTIVE MAYORS, NEW YORK CITY CORPORATION COUNSEL AND PHILADELPHIA CITY SOLICITOR BET ON WORLD SERIES”:
Whichever team loses, the chief legal official from the losing city will travel to the other city, along with a team of leading attorneys and staff.
The friendly exchange will take place before [...]

Aw, this is kinda cute: Yesterday, City Council – with so much time on their hands now that 311 was made them pretty much irrelevant — got so scurred by Law Abiding Citizen that they’re now searching the Chambers for bombs! Silly Council, don’t you know? Gerard Butler isn’t real! Today? They sent in [...]

Phillies fans crowd Shorty’s, a Philly-loving cheesesteak restaurant in NYC, to watch the Phillies Vs. Yankees in World Series game 1. Fans that arrived before the game were treated to free cheesesteaks courtesy of GPTMC, With Love XOXO TM, October 28, 2009. Meredith Edlow for GPTMC.
And as you are no doubt aware, the Phils spanked [...]

Oh no you di-int, The Economist! In a charticle posted earlier this week about the continuing poor circulation of the American city newspaper, the Inquirer very obviously served as the thing in the box that no one is picking up, even though they graciously embellished the side of the honor box with the non-brand The [...]

>>> Phoodie.info’s got the skinny on Non-Douchebag Places To Watch The World Series. GO PHILS.

As advertised on The Drudge Report, 2011 Obama’s Coup Fails is:
[...] an action packed, satire-filled war game that takes place in the not-so-distant future. Right after the November 2010 election, to be precise. It has been said that America would never be destroyed by a foreign power. It does seem our biggest enemies are not [...]
