Pics of last weeks winners
So D-Mac wrote a short novel about the bands he hates in the comments section of Kerri-Lee’s blog. So I’m gonna post pics of last week’s winners with questions about bands that D-Mac hates. One guess per person. Oh, and nobody last week could figure out where Mission Beach is? Really?

- Gonna try to do the scoreboard after I get back from the bank. In the meantime, here’s a few ideas for stuff to do this weekend.
- Oh, and I’ve got a gig coming up at the Franklin Institute in July. More details in the coming weeks. But I will tell you this: pirates will be involved.
- And Chincoteague is on the front page of philly.com right now. Woo-hoo! Represent, represent! Ok, so actually Chincoteague for the pony penning is pretty much the stupidest summer idea ever, where a bunch of Jerseyites go so they can actually buy little Cindy a pony for her birthday. But on the other weekends, it’s a pretty neat place.

Len Bias
There is an excellent piece on Len Bias on ESPN.com this week that I think you guys should check out. Inspired me to write a short bit about his death after the jump. (Warning: Serious, non-snarky, and clumsy emoting on the site straight ahead.)

Around the Horn
- First off, anybody got any exciting plans for watching the Euro final on Sunday? Anybody know of any Spanish or German bars where people will be going wild (and where there will be Spanish and/or German women who are not celebrating a birthday that day?). Ludwig’s woulda been perfect for this. Got any good ideas, drop ‘em below.
- Posted a thing on Kerri Lee’s site lately about the origins of common phrases and cliches. Think you might get a kick out of it.
- There are rumblings that the Phillies were stealing signs from the Red Sox in their recent matchup. This from the Boston Globe (via PhiladelphiaWillDo): The Sox played the Phillies last week, and one major league official thought the Phillies were taking Boston’s signs. Yep, cheating got Barry Bonds 762 Home Runs, cheating got the Patriots three Super Bowl wins, and cheating got the Phillies blown out twice in three games by the Red Sox. Mon dieu, imagine how bad we’d be getting beat by the American League if we weren’t cheating.
- The Bad News: Making a dumbass rap video about killing cops while waving a gun around will get you arrested, especially if your son is filming. The Good News: Making a dumbass rap video about killing cops while waving a gun around and getting arrested is definitely gonna help move units of your forthcoming album. The kids love it when you keep it real!

Latest in the Metro

Here’s the latest. A lot of people did amazing things when they were my age, I still haven’t done anything amazing yet. Oh yeah, and that whole, “I forgot that today was my birthday” thing I wrote about? Yeah, it really happened. All in all, one of the best blowoff lines I’ve ever gotten. Also, one time I was in line at Ross Dress For Less in Hawaii and thought that the sales clerk was flirting with me, so I asked her if she wanted to get together for a drink sometime. She said, “Thanks”…long dramatic pause…”But nooooo thanks.” (snarky, sarcastic smile). I’m still a little bit miffed about that one.
