On one hand, between Palin and this asshole, 2012 is already the most annoying year of ever. On the other hand, these kids will be teenagers by then and even more hilarious than they already were. Back in August, we pondered the likelihood of a Rick Santorum 2012 presidential run. Even then, we anticipated great [...]

You may recall the last great adventure for City Council reps Frank DiCicco and Jim Kenney — the wild fandango/fiasco of proposed anti-bike legislation that might have been the single biggest boon for Philly’s bike-lobbying organizations ever. Kenney and DiCicco may have had their hearts in the right places — we all want to be [...]

This is the Brooklyn band, Revival Times. They’re playing tonight at Silk City with locals The Midnight Sounds (whoa, HEAVY Doors influence, dudes), and we think you should go because it’s been a long time since you’ve adopted an out-of-town band and without you, only the three people who’ve RSVP’d to the Facebook invite will [...]

Last night, local newscasts were littered with stories about how, brave faces and marketing campaigns we’ve all put on to the contrary, Philly is still pretty much an abhorrent mess after the storm of ages. This is evidenced by the fact that parking space debates are still raging, plus the fact that at least one [...]

… artist Thom Lessner is painting these giant ceramic Phillie Phanatic things for an upcoming VisitPhilly.com promotion. We smiled when we saw this, because it made us think of things like sun and baseball and being able to see the sidewalk. We thought you might dig it.

After the jump, our legal correspondent, J. Conor Corcoran, has an update in the cases of these three charmers above, who are currently winding through the process of being tried for the savage beating death of David Sale last summer at Citizen’s Bank Park.

Behold, the late, great Ruin.

If it’s too violent and dumb, you’re too old! It’s no secret: Kids do dumb shit. So it should also be no surprise that kids in Philly, who are often a subspecies of dumb and ignorant that science is only just now beginning to comprehend, do really dumb shit. Here’s a bit of history: On [...]

We won’t lie: We’ve been to Mako’s on the corner of 3rd and South. We’ve sampled their 49¢ beers. We’ve high-fived their brokedick approximation of Justin Bobby from The Hills. We’ve reunited hair bands whilst hiding from bike cops underneath the Jaeger machine. We knew it to be a fun place. But it turns out, [...]

They’re the pastors, teachers, grandparents and working stiffs who sat in protest against the construction of the Sugarhouse Casino back in September, and now, you can call them the Sugarhouse 13. Now, while it’s true that, usually, people who have a place and then a number after it associated with them — we’re thinking of, [...]

Professional role model Snooki is at Bootleggers in Woodlyn today for a Fat Tuesday party. According to the flier, her appearance coincides with a mechanical bull riding contest, with a boob job going to the winner. See you there.

With the winter weather doing its best to keep us indoors and in bed for prolonged stretches at a time (thanks a lot, self-diagnosed Seasonal Affective Disorder!), apparel manufacturers haven’t wasted a second when it comes to exploiting us at this most vulnerable of times. Commercials for the new Hoodie-Footie Snuggle Suit have been making [...]

Local boy/comedian Dave Metter has what you need.

By their very nature, the Olympic Games seem designed to boost a strong sense of nationalism: From the wide array of flag-motif unitards to the little flags that are shown above each judge’s score, it’s hard not to get swept up in cheering for the best athletes our country has to offer. Sure, the commentators [...]
