Beyonce has got nothing on the smooth moves and awesome dancing of the ladies of the Burgh, as evidenced by the PG’s Weekend Mag article on the hottest dance clubs in the Burgh.
The cover photo:

Haven’t seen dancing as awkward as that since Dan Onorato tried to jam to “Here We Go.”

Some random thoughts as I munch on my plain bagel with light garden veggie cream cheese (I’m all about the carbs, baby):
1. When asked if the Mayor is on life support, Dick Skrinjar, Mayor O’Connor’s Chief of Making Shit Up, responded with “I don’t know.” Combine that with the fact that UPMC is [...]

Sorry no posting today.  PittGirl’s awesome sister was in town from Texas and that means a day off for fun and shopping.

Here’s the story, of a man dressed like a lady, who robbed a bank dressed in drag.
Here’s the story, of two coffee sipping jocks, who chased and tackled and then bragged.

I would like to say, “Only in Pittsburgh, kids. Only in Pittsburgh” but shit like this does NOT usually happen in Pittsburgh. [...]

Burghers are fat and stupid.

First we find out we’re fatter than normal … and now they’re telling us we’re stupider (!) than normal.
I think we’re going to need to start handing out “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and goshdarnit, people like me” wrist bands at the City-County Building lest Burghers start feeling badly about themselves.

I feel it. Tonight is the night that the Pirates will clinch their 14th losing season.

The Pirates announced today that those cutie pie little kiddies of the Burgh have come up with the name for the new Pirate mascot.
Meet Captain Jolly Roger:

I don’t know about you, but when I look at him, the first thing to pop into my head is, “My goodness. That is certainly a jolly fellow!”

Oh, come on. You thought it too.
Also? I refuse to comment as of yet on the Steelers dismal, shitty (well, I guess THAT was a comment) preseason, simply because I got all on Ben’s ass last year for a shitty preseason and we went on to win the Super Bowl. If however, [...]
