$25 Bounty Bowl Tonight
Hey kids, just a quick reminder that there will be a Bounty Bowl at the Ugly American tonight. L. Ron Hubbard’s Diabetics have won 6 straight weeks, and must be destroyed. Action kicks off at 8 p.m. sharp. On to the Bards at 10:15 p.m. During the summer, the Bards is without question the best place to grab a full table. It is also pretty wide open, as several of the top teams have lost key players or are taking the summer off. Now’s your turn to shine. $2.50 Sam Adams during quizzo, and the Phils game will be on. Hope to see ya tonight.
Corey Feldman, Cole Hamels, and Arthur Kade
Happy 38th birthday Corey Feldman!
I think we should trade Hamels for Halladay. There, I said it.
Arthur Kade, a marketing ploy? Say it ain’t so!
One of the Ugliest Buildings on Earth
There was a question in the wildcard round: This Parisian skyscraper was voted 2nd ugliest building in the world in 2008 by virtual tourist (Here’s the complete list). As you can see above, it is an embarrasment, and perhaps even uglier than the hotel in North Korea I have an unhealthy obsession with.
Buzz Aldrin Records A Rap Song
The planet Earth gets weirder every goddamm minute. I can’t believe Buzz Aldrin is chilling with Snoop Dogg and recording rap songs. What a badass. Remember, we’re gonna be putting on a space show on Monday at the Khyber. It’s gonna be out of this world.
The Pizza Hunt ’09 Hits Tacconelli’s
Tacconelli’s (2604 E Somerset) was one of our big winners in the Pizza Hunt ’06, and it is widely acknowledged as one of Philly’s best. But my pizza partner Colby is a tough judge. How did it fair this year? Did we get in a fight over our scores on the pepperoni scale? Check the video and find out. To see previous pizza hunts, click here.
