Quizzo Tonight

We were a little slower last night than we have been in a long time. I think a fair amount of people have already left for vacation. What does that mean for you? It means that you’ll probably have a decent amount of luck finding a table tonight. Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m., Black Sheep at 8 p.m. All questions have a USA theme, more or less. So study up! As for pizza, well, I gotta admit, Chuck E. Cheese makes a decent pie. Video coming tomorrow. It should be a classic. See ya tonight!

Off to Get More Pizza

This should be a good one. Me, My Little Brother, and Chip Chantry are off to grab pie. I’m not telling where on here, but you’ll know if you follow me on twitter. Be back this afternoon. In the meantime:

Why JC Romero should not get suspended.

Jose Garces highlighted in Philly Mag.

Best sentence we’ve read in a newspaper in a long time? “The Internet is both a help and a hindrance,” said longtime porn performer and producer Dave Cummings, who expects his next movie, “Knee Pad Nymphos Volume 10,” to fall victim to online thieves.

Sweet! I Just Got a Prank Call!


I am happy to report that the art of mindless prank calls has not ended. I just received a call from an unusual number, and when I picked it up, a teenager on the other line asked, “Hey, can we go swimming?” to which I answered, still not knowing who this was, “Where?” His reply was “Your house.” Then I heard giggling thru the nose and got hung up on. The pointless, uncreative prank calls, the ones where the only real purpose was to call a complete stranger and talk to them, are really the best. Then you and your buddies crack up because you can’t believe he asked that dude if you could go swimming at his house.

The Pizza Hunt Continues at Homeslice


Steve-O and I made our move on Saturday to Homeslice, located on Liberties Walk in Northern Liberties. Now, some people have whined about the Liberties Walk thing in Philly, to which I can only say:  you are whining for the mere purpose of whining. Get over it. If you don’t like it, take your ironically tight jeans and clown makeup somewhere that better fits your Communist sensibilities. Pyongyang perhaps. Liberties Walk is unlike anything else in Philly, and unique spots are a good thing. Anyways, where were we? Ah yes, Homeslice, located on Liberties Walk. One thing I’d be remiss to mention is that we gave our reviews right after eating, and then later interviewed the owners. And they were right: pizza often makes me feel sluggish, but this pizza did not. So kudos for a healthy pie. But does healthy pie make for a great pie? Watch the video and find out.

Murder in NoLibs

rianthalSteve-O and I went to Homeslice in Northern Liberties on Saturday. I’ll have the review up this afternoon.  That evening, a few blocks from where we grabbed a slice in as tranquil of a spot as you’ll find in Philly, a double murder took place.  It gets crazier the more I read about it.

Investigators said they found four kilos of cocaine and more than $100,000 in her seventh-floor apartment.

Four kilos is not a small amount of cocaine. It’s almost 9 pounds. It is going to be interesting to see how this whole thing shakes down. Attractive white woman involved in rap game gunned down at high end condo, with big money and coke involved? Let’s not kid ourselves, this is highly sensational. However, I wonder if local news will downplay it for fear of upsetting advertisers in an up and coming part of the city. Or am I just a cynical, tin-hatted conpiracist goon? What do you guys think?
