We kick it off at the Locust Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m. Perhaps the best beer and drink specials in Center City. Then we move on to the Black Sheep at 8 p.m. Been a solid crowd there the last few weeks, but not too crazy. Get there by 7:30 and you should be able to get a table (but no guarantees!) Hope to see ya tonight!
Month: July 2009
Be back this afternoon
Hey kids, off to take care of some errands. Be back this afternoon. Have two pizza reviews in the can, just waiting to get interviews with the owners of the places, so I’ll have something up hopefully tomorrow. Talk to ya soon.
Let’s Sing “High Hopes” During Every 7th Inning Stretch!
Hey kids, just started a petition over on isportacus in which we respectfully ask the Phillies to play High Hopes in the 7th Inning instead of Take Me Out to the Ballgame. If you want to know why we feel this way and/or want to sign the petition, click here.
Question of the Week
Quiz on Famous Cougars
Here’s a quiz I did for Comcast on Famous Cougars. See how ya do.
Are Eagles Fans Ruining Baseball in this Town? Are Robbers Ruining Quizzo?
Just posted something on isportacus I thought you might be interested in. I asked if, after the tragic events of this Saturday in which a man was murdered just outside the ballpark, it seems like the fans at the Citizens Bank this year are a little bit more intense, more like football fans than baseball fans. Would love to hear your input. Of course, I suppose you could also ask if quizzo is more violent these days. A bar in the Northeast just got robbed last night during quizzo.
Happy Birthday Yahoo Serious
Yahoo was born on this date in 1953. I haven’t seen Young Einstein since it came out. Has anyone seen it recently? Does it hold up? In case you were wondering, Yahoo is still doing movies, and he hates Yahoo! because he claims they stole his name.
Plagiarism is a form of flattery some say. Well maybe in some cases, if carried out by other artists. But a bunch of marketeers have destroyed the uniqueness of a name. They’ve blanded it, McDonaldised it! Worse actually. There were hundreds of thousands of people in the world called McDonald. There is only one person called Yahoo. There is only one real Yahoo and no amount of mass marketing can ever change the facts or the history.
