The Most Annoying Local Website Nominee #1

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

PittGirl’s first nominee for the Most Annoying Local Website:
www.rollingrock.com
I almost had a seizure trying to navigate that site.
I think a line from the movie Sabrina (the remake) really applies here: “More isn’t always better. Sometimes it’s just more.”
Put in a birthdate and enter as a guest . . . and good luck.

John Heffron, Baby!

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

John Heffron is coming to the Burgh and you should know that I love John Heffron, and quite frankly I’m not really sure what that says about me.
He is the incredibly funny, quite cute winner of Last Comic Standing and now he’s got his own sitcom in the works on ABC.
January 19-22 at the Improv [...]

Fall decorating with the Trib

If you are going to purchase a framed photo of an orange-suited violent belly slasher, I highly recommend you go with the natural wood frame. It really brings out the pumpkin hues in her suit.

The caption on this photo?
Peggy Jo Conner, of Manor, Armstrong County, accused of trying to cut her neighbor’s unborn baby from [...]

Well, well, well. Isn’t this interesting.
WTAE promotes WPXI

As of yesterday, when you pointed your browser to WTAE’s Web site, you could read a promo for WPXI’s “Desktop Alert”. I’m sure the flub will be gone as soon as the powers that be get wind of it, though we did preserve a screen grab [...]

Qualifications, schmualifications, Dr. King.

Burghers? I’ve had about enough of this guy.
They gave him a cushy no-show $125k job and he is still suing the school board.
“The suit described Mr. Roosevelt (the newly hired superintendent) as less qualified than Dr. King.”
You know what Dr. King, if that is your real name? Having sex in cars with homeless [...]

About time, boys!

The Toledo Spitfire vs. The Pittsburgh Passion

Posted by pittgirl on 27 Oct 2005 | Tagged as: Uncategorized

I am a bit disappointed in myself that I have never heard of the Pittsburgh Passion until today. I am a pretty informed Burgher so it surprised me that something this cool hasn’t entered my radar until now.
What is the Pittsburgh Passion? Surprisingly, considering the prolific porn stars that are born here, it has nothing [...]

Any plans for Monday?

What are you doing Monday night at 9:00 p.m.?
Not sure?
Now you are.
Question. Do you think that Steelers fans in like Arizona or Iowa or Dubai for that matter are actually going to stand up in their living rooms and wave their Terrible Towels in honor of Myron?
I can see a girlfriend walking into a living [...]

Support the Sandwich!

Because he is cool, and quite hot too, everyone shall now click below and go read the first part of Mike’s interview with yours truly.
Mike (the granddaddy of Pittsburgh Webloggers) overcame some seriously bad audio (thank you Elton John and Jimmy John’s patrons) to transcribe the interview.
A disclaimer: I believe the difficulty I have in [...]
