Yoga for Dummies

A little levity to brighten an otherwise extremely depressing day:
A couple things could be going through the woman in the green shirt’s mind right as this picture is snapped by the PG reporter:
1. “Okay, so her left would be my . . . ?”
2. “Camera. Reporter. Flash. Can’t. [...]

Chivalry? Yeah, it’s dead.

This morning my bus from an outer county was particularly packed (yes, Vince Sacca, with poor, loud, riff-raff … carrying their LV bags and Ralph Lauren umbrellas while talking on their Blackberrys. Riff-raff can be SO classless). The bus was so full that even the dude that intentionally spreads out over two seats was asked [...]

More fun with punctuation.

Would someone with a better grasp of grammar and punctuation than me (and I’ve got a pretty decent grasp) explain to me why there are quotation marks around the words stop and yield in this little blurb about construction, taken from the PG:
Honestly, sometimes I feel so stupid. But those quotes just seem totally [...]

Warning: Nothing to do with Pittsburgh and everything to do with giant teeth

Posted by pittgirl on 31 Aug 2005 | Tagged as: Uncategorized

You’ve been warned. This is NOT a Burgh post, but as I have said in the past, sometimes I read or see things so absolutely hilarious or ridiculous that I have to share.
So first a bit of background.

This is so classic. I honestly don’t believe for one second that the rich residents of Summerset are worrying about the noise of an occasional PAT bus cruising through the neighborhood. They ARE however totally concerned with the image problem associated with an occasional PAT bus cruising through their neighborhood.
A few awesome things:
Besides noise and [...]

Diamond Dave Loves PittGirl

Posted by pittgirl on 30 Aug 2005 | Tagged as: Uncategorized

My former #1 enemy, current #1 fan, and likely future Annoying Burgher of the Week, Diamond Dave over at Steelernation.com, was kind enough to send me an email letting me know that there is a more positive thread about me over there.
Of course, back in the old thread, Diamond Dave does go out of his [...]

SteelerNation.com HATES PittGirl

Whoa! Wait until they get a load of my article on Benny. You’ll need to register to read the comments and I don’t want to paste them here because some of them are UGLY. In fact the sweetie that called me the lovely name was kind enough to send it directly to my [...]

Find the M&M candies!

From the Post-Gazette regarding Hurricane Katrina. Can YOU find the bag of M&Ms? I looked everwhere and even read the article to see if there was mention. I got nothing. Or maybe all 9,000 people holed up in the Superdome shared one bag of M&Ms? Fun! Here’s another look:

Cetera. Etta Cetera.

Please take a look at this article and in particular this line:
Tell me it doesn’t look suspiciously like that chick gave a fake name to the reporter.
Etta Cetera?!?! As in “etc.”?
Awesome.

Ben Roethlisberger is delusional.

Posted by pittgirl on 29 Aug 2005 | Tagged as: Uncategorized

“Whoa, PittGirl!” you say?
Them are some fighting words, true. However, Ben Roethlisberger is delusional. I’ve only recently realized this, thanks to a little help from Ed Bouchette.
Let’s investigate. Come along with me as we take a look at some of Big Ben’s Deep Thoughts over the last week. And away we go:
