The Wednesday Lunchtime “Why?”

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

Why are the revolving doors to the Omni William Penn so damn heavy? I’d just like to go in and get my latte without having to manually advance the Kennywood carousel. For real. I’ve seen old people not be able to budge them an inch.
Why does Kelly Frye always look so concerned about everything? [...]

This is quite possibly the article that will make my week. PittGirl is not the ONLY one with a pigeon problem.
In trying to rid a North Side parking garage of problematic pigeons, operators have made the garage sound like a zoo.

Found this lovely article about a girl that was forced to go to the bathroom and remove her nipple piercings in order to get through the security checkpoint at Pittsburgh International.
Attention, travelers with nipple piercings: If you plan to fly out of Pittsburgh International Airport this holiday season, bring your pliers.

So once again, our offensive line is just that . . . offensive.

FRANKLIN, Pa. — A man’s body was apparently mistaken for a dead deer along a state highway, police said.
The body was lying along the road for as long as three days, authorities said. He was wearing tan clothing, which apparently led passing motorists to assume it was a dead deer, [...]

Barbie vs. Bratz: Round 1

Posted by pittgirl on 28 Nov 2005 | Tagged as: Uncategorized

What better way to start off a Monday morning following a long holiday weekend than this image of Barbie and Bratz going at it catfight style or pseudo-lesbian style (depending on the perversity of your mind).

Wouldn’t you just love to see the many many many outtakes (come on, you KNOW that Mr. Andy Starnes had [...]

PittGirl is thankful.

Burghers? And you non-Burghers too. Have a rockin’ Thanksgiving. Watch a parade, watch some football, drink some beer (or in my case, a chilada), get some sleep, give some thanks.
We’ve lots to be thankful for: we live here in a pretty cool city, Sydney Crosby, that the bird flu hasn’t smote us yet, Hines Ward, [...]

“Bah-buh-bup”
