The folks at WTNH in Connecticut are some considerate people. Case in point:
How kind of them to put the phonetic spelling of Mario’s (MAH-ree-oh) name in there.
Of course, I shouldn’t make fun. When I was younger, I called him Mario Leh-MYOO-ex. Honest.
I was the laughing stock of my family that year. [...]

Readers? It is damn cold in the Brrrrgh.
How cold is it?
1. A woman I do not know came up to me at the bus stop this morning and said quite seriously, “I think my nose has frozen shut.” True story.
2. A pigeon, that I’m pretty sure was wearing a scarf and ear muffs, came [...]

Oh, this is fantastically expected behavior in relation to the city’s fiscal overseers.
You know, when I read the top title, I thought I would then go on to read about a $25,000 error or something.
$2,500,000! That’s a big boo-boo.
I hope when being told of this, City Council’s new young president said on the record in [...]

How about Benny’s bionic run for a TD? I swear I could hear him humming the Six Million Dollar Man theme as he sprinted for the post.
And how ’bout Randle El deciding to play defense while he was supposed to be returning a punt? He’s like the new “Slash”.

Burghers, I admit it. I went to Wendy Bell’s baby blog again today. Obviously I need help.
But my God, her latest entry includes:
1. “Barfarama”
2. Totally and fantastically dissing the Penguins
3. “I’m ready to start drinking”
And other such light humor.
Nothing as good as “basting my cervix with his sperm,” but [...]

Just wanted to let you know that Hooters Air is cutting their flights to Myrtle Beach from the Burgh until at least March, so if you were booked to look at boobies, you will need to replan that trip.
In addition …
Besides increased costs, Hooters Air says the Rockford Airport Authority recently said it would give [...]

I hate to nitpick, then again, when you are in the public eye you are asking for your nits to be picked.
Someone please tell me why the State Police dudes are not given hats with chin straps that fit? It makes my teeth itch every time I see one of them with these chinny strap [...]

Wexford’s-own latina (again, roll eyes here, damn it! I always forget I like her now. Don’t roll your eyes), Xtina, is keeping her maiden name as a stage name only, but is officially changing her name to Christina Bratman, completely erasing her latin heritage. Next thing you know, she’ll refuse to speak her native Spanish!
You [...]

Burghers, I’m sorry to bring up “that which we don’t speak of” once again, however, it just keeps getting damn funnier!
Check out today’s latest on “The Thumb” (gasp!):
A person with knowledge of the injury said a tendon or ligament in Roethlisberger’s right thumb was strained in the Steelers’ Nov. 28 game against Indianapolis and [...]
