Timely.

Injuries aren’t funny, and it’s a lot to take in. Speaking of turning heel in the bar, I did just that this past weekend during a sweaty night at McGillin’s because some drunk amateur puked upstairs JUST OUTSIDE the doors to the toilets, and some poor bastard with a mop and a bucket had to clean it up while people…

Your sister’s request is the triumph of hope over experience. I would take the day off too, not to watch the parade, but only because a parade down Broad Street would ruin my commute to work. Hmmm, now that I think about it, I want that day off! Go Eagles! (not really. but sort of.)

Outbreak and Rise of the Planet of the Apes featured this trope as well. Medical techs are exposed to viruses and take no reasonable follow-up precautions, then go spread it around to other people? OK.

No. I understand why you might be cynical, but in this case, it’s not a con. I know someone involved in the Sunday Love Project helping the homeless of Philadelphia and she encountered Johnny Bobbitt Jr. before this story came to light. He has problems, but I believe he wishes to help those who helped him. The money…

Thank you for your detailed reply. It’s sometimes recommended to simply starve hate groups like the Westboro Baptist Church trolls of the attention they crave like oxygen to make them go away. Unfortunately, relying on “common decency” to avoid association with people like this isn’t working well here in 2017, because…

I’m curious since you seem familiar with their fuckwittery. Their dumb, hateful speech might be protected legally, but could they be sued out of existence for peddling their various frauds on the public?

I saw last night and liked it. I am from Sacramento and like the main character, left town upon graduation, so I may be biased. I recognized many of the locations used in the film, which won’t mean much to people not from there, but credit to Gerwig for good use of local scenery. The music choices were fitting, and I…

Here you go, Nostradamus. Interpret as you see fit:

That is the question! He’s cheap, but at least he’s upfront about it. There were options: BYO food; don’t go; leave party early and get dinner. I went with options 1 and 3.

This obviously wouldn’t work for everyone, but my grandmother built bookshelves into the walls of her dining room and filled them floor to ceiling with books and souvenirs from her world travels, and it still functioned as the dining room for formal occasions, separate from the kitchen table for everyday meals. I…

This is smart. I have had some unfortunate Mary-Tyler-Moore hosting mishaps so I’ve learned the hard way to plan better. One time my oven door locked with a chicken roasting inside and I couldn’t get it open. The best I could do was turn it off and let the heat dissipate until it was safe to pry open and get the bird…

Not only this, but as President of the Senate, Pence can cast tie-breaking votes on deadlocked bills of national import, which he has already done. That’s not a bucket of warm spit nothing.

I run this route and I have yet to see him. I half expected to hear “Gonna Fly Now” dubbed over this, except that Embiid is running away from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which seems to get more visitors to the Rocky statue and people running up the steps than to the actual artwork inside.

I see your point about revenue being revenue and the team not going anywhere. If they continue to sell tickets at high prices to fans of other teams, then I guess it’s good for them, but I’m curious how long they can sustain that while the team is sitting at the bottom of the standings.

In my 48 years on earth, I’ve lived in LA for 12 years, and Philadelphia for 12 years - half my life (don’t feel sorry for me; I chose this). Not sure what my point is other than nothing about this story surprises me, from the lackluster home attendance in a borrowed stadium to the invasion by raucous Eagles fans. I…

I LOLed at this because I have a friend who brings Trouble to every game night get-together and acts like the “Pop-o-Matic” is the pinnacle of gaming achievement. He grew up in an ultra-competitive family, so when we play Trouble he is animated and vocal, and insists that the game must be played until every piece…

This is good shade. It sounds like a compliment, but is not.

You mean, just like when Pres. von Clownstick tweeted out Obama’s inauguration crowd photo as his own until people pointed it out, while simultaneously claiming his crowd was bigger? Then the National Park Service trolled him with side-by-side photos, saying, “well, actually...”. This is either lazy or stupid or…

That’s a good dog. I named my brown Labrador/Chesapeake Bay retriever Arya, and she is friendly to people including small children, but she is a ruthless assassin of houseflies, mice and the occasional squirrel. She has a lot of energy but I realize I am lucky that she is not an eater of shoes, furniture, money, etc.
