By now you’ve likely heard the news … now the NATIONAL news, that local attorney Todd Hollis is suing www.dontdatehimgirl.com because of postings there that state he is a cheater, sexually diseased, and other fun “alleged” allegations.
My first response was, hey, karma is a boomerang and if you cheat you get what you deserve. [...]

Some things that bugged me this morning:
The 50 people (I may be exaggerating by about 47) this morning that had their cell phone ringers set to that annoying, old fashioned rotary phone bring-bring-bring bell. I don’t know why it bugs me, but it bugs me. While I was waiting in line for my coffee this [...]

By now you know what I mean when I say “Furries” don’t you? You don’t think of furry handcuffs, or cute widdle bunny wabbits, or Dom Costa’s hilarious hair … you know I’m talking about those nutjobs at the Anthrocon 2006 here in the Burgh.
Comet now tips me that the Westin has inked the Anthrocon [...]

Mike Lange fired?!?!?!?
We have looked at Steigerwald for some time and believe he brings a different and fresh set of eyes to a new team.
Yeah, there totally has to be more to this story than, “We needed fresh eyes.”
That doesn’t make any damn sense. Well known sports announcers do not come and go; [...]

Awesome lines like this, about Brookline of all places:
Dead rabbits had been seen hanging outside to drain their blood. Mr. Weyand, his wife and five children had been observed chasing and killing screaming chickens.
Not that the slaughter of screaming chickens is funny, but my God READING about children chasing and killing screaming chickens sure as [...]

You so crack me up!
A friend at the station (yes, believe [...]

This security guard that felt it necessary to fire up to four bullets at a fleeing Giant Eagle shoplifter is SO going to be fired.
On the other hand, my father has this theory (jokingly) that incredible, awesome, overreactive violence by law enforcement would solve lots of problems. For instance, car chases … the next person [...]

A little birdie (hopefully not a pigeon) named Comet, emailed me to tell me that a little birdie from a local radio station told him that Burgh-native Jeff Goldblum threw out the first pitch at a baseball game recently and then during an interview at that event went on to bash the Pirates and/or their [...]

When Bobby O started this whole “Redd up this damn city before the All Star Game” business, complete with the boarding up of ugly ass houses, the sweeping of streets, a lame web page etc., I had no idea Bobby planned to redd up people too!
The brilliant idea is to round up all the homeless [...]

The dumb-ass, you’re just begging for PittGirl to slap you, WTF? quote of the day:
“We’re playing good baseball,” Snell said.
Huh? Losing 12 games in a row is good baseball?! Being the laughing stock of the Major League is GOOD baseball? Lord, I’d hate to see us play BAD baseball. What [...]
