Well, Dick Butkis lost his first game as coach of the Montour football team, with ESPN cameras looking on.
The best part of this article? Well, that would be this quote from a rival team member who was instrumental in stopping Montour’s fourth quarter attempt to win the game:
Man, poor Dick can’t get no respect. No [...]

No Annoying Burgher of the Week

Posted by pittgirl on 26 Aug 2005 | Tagged as: Uncategorized

Truly, this is astounding.
Not one news article that particulary makes me feel the need to name any particular person as the Annoying Burgher of the Week. I don’t believe in going out of my way to find someone, because that is just petty.
And I don’t want to do petty.
See you Monday!

We DARE you to drive by!

Okay, not only is it bugging me that they put quotes around “Hard to Find Showroom,” but that line below it has GOT to be the stupidest slogan I have ever read in my life.
I don’t get it. Are they saying that the store is so appealing that driving by makes you want to [...]

FoxNews.com gets on PittGirl’s nerves

Remember that AWFUL incident up in Erie with the pizza delivery man and the bomb being strapped to his neck and then his eventual death as the bomb exploded?
Well, that case is still unsolved after two years and of course it was national news. For about a week now, Fox News has had this image [...]

The bottom two headlines from the cover of yesterday’s Tribpm.
Write you own joke and be sure it includes the word “irony” or some variation thereof.

Ever see a dinosaur wear heels?

So I’m walking down Smithfield Street today about two-ish when I see a pretty hot chick walking toward me, which catches my eye because while I may be a straight woman, attractive Burghers are something I keep my eye out for. She’s looking good and she knows it. Black dress, blonde hair, sunglasses, tiny purse. [...]

When SUVs grow wings and fly . . .

Posted by pittgirl on 25 Aug 2005 | Tagged as: Uncategorized

Ever read about a car crash and hear things like, “The car went airborne for 40 feet” and say to yourself, “Holy hell! Airborne for 40 feet!”
Yeah, I used to do that too, until I read this:
Rhodes was accused of losing control of her SUV, going airborne for 230 feet and crashing through a wall [...]

Shiny, Happy People!

So there is a bank-heist type movie filming in Beaver Falls with Adam Arkin and Chris Marquette (Adam from Joan of Arcadia).
While I figure out a way to get my hot self cast as an extra, why don’t we all ponder how craptastic the budget of this flick must be that they give their star [...]

Posted by pittgirl on 24 Aug 2005 | Tagged as: Uncategorized

Do you know what Radar magazine is? If you are cool, you said, “Hell, yeah!”
Radar is a political/pop culture/style magazine that started in 2003, money dried up, closed down, and then this year finally got a new investor and relaunched in August. I am a charter subscription member and can tell you that I [...]
