Okay, so a while back I posted here about really bad logo tattoos. One in particular stood out– a Dell tattoo. To me, Dell is a kind of lame, nothing-brand– not one that I thought anybody would be stoked about enough to get it branded on them for life. So I made fun of the […]

USC’s Gamepipe brings us Lockdown, which they describe as “a serious game for incident response to school shootings.” Obviously, this game, or simulator, or training application, however you want to bill it, isn’t about graphics, but I can’t stop thinking of Playmobil as I look at the video.
It’s supposed to be used to teach SWAT […]

This past Friday, Pie and I were sitting around talking about how we’ve noticed a lot of baseball bats breaking this year. Little did I know that Jim Salisbury would have a story in Sunday’s Inquierer about that very topic. It seems that baseball bats are shattering all too often lately.
Here I was thinking that a baseball […]

Sami hooked me up with this kid. He can speak for himself.

Yeah, I know that there is a writers strike going on and all that but the kids need their mathed out tech metal-hardcore fix.
Crazily, Conan O’Brien is happy to oblige the metalcore masses - New Jersey’s Dillinger Escape Plan are slated to be the musical guest on tonights Late Night with Conan O’Brien.  Is this the first […]

Yep, that’s the mayor. He high fived my pals, took pictures with mummers and
took boos in stride. Happy new year nutter!

And no one really gives a shit. But it is very funny.
Maybe they are just afraid of getting capped?
Apparently they made a post on the internerd this morning exclaiming to all that they are banning themselves from our fair city. Here is an excerpt:
“We’ve had troubles with Philly promoters before thinking they can switch things […]

Particle accelerators? Mutant corn? Aliens? Depression?! We’re fucked!

I’d be curious to find out if his list has been revised since this was filmed in 2002. If you don’t have time to watch the whole thing, I’d suggest fast-forwarding to the part about asteroids. Also, check out the comments that people left..

The Highly anticipated push for an MLS (Major League Soccer, for youz n00bs) team in Philadelphia has made a significant step forward! Delaware county has agreed to allocate $30 million dollars for a Chester Waterfront soccer-specific stadium. Rumor has it that the funds are coming from slot revenues at Delaware County casinos. The estimated […]

I kinda hate jacking from BCO but if I don’t then whatever…According to a post Mr. Ardmore made on BCO, the critically acclaimed Canadian indiepop band Stars asked for an additional security detail for their upcoming Philly show - specifically because of the number of homicides in Philadelphia this year! What a bunch of […]

Finally! After months of disputing, state senators have developed a viable bill that would change where and how Pennsylvanians buy beer (just like heaven)! The proposal would allow beer distributors to sell six-packs and by September–they could begin selling 12-packs, 18-packs, or any other package up to 24 beers! The bill would also give restaurants, […]

Paramount Pictures has confirmed that a “G.I. Joe” film will begin production in February and is scheduled for a release in summer 2009! Don’t drop your trousers too fast though…G.I. Joe will become an acronym for “Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity” — an international, coed task force charged with defeating bad guys (please be Cobra). […]

Huzzah! The Mets fell apart and now the Phillies are headed to the playoffs. My vampire ass definitely fears the curse, but perhaps this could be our year!

The album is free to download and contains 29 banging and semi-banging tracks from a variety of “artists.” Poibella plans to release several solo albums this year (also free) and then compoi1 next summer.

9 Murders in the past 4 days. Way to go Philadelphia, you really know how to have a good time. Keep up the good work. Also Saturday night I was right around the corner from the Broad and Reed murder and my friend walked past the medical guys examining the body, THIS SHIT IS REAL
