1.  I guess by “adventure” he means donkey-back riding in the Grand Canyon.  Fun!  Where can I get me one of those ponchos? Nogales?
2. What the hell’s a Percerver?  Is that a euphemism?
3.  Well, I don’t know about you, but when I think “master” I think:  EXACTLY LIKE THIS GUY.  I don’t think he could [...]

Reader WrigleyGrec mentioned in the comments on the Mike “Soon to be Nicknamed by PittGirl” Tomlin LOST HIS BAG, GASP! post, that the Steelers have superimposed a Steelers shirt on his old Vikings picture.
In looking at the photos, unless Mike Tomlin has only one expression, one hair cut, and one picture pose, I’m thinking Wrigley [...]

After the Mike Tomlin post, not only did reader Johnny mention in the comments that Tomlin (soon to be nicknamed by PittGirl) mentioned “move forward” about three times, I also got emails from readers Cynthia and Manolis mentioning it too.

Boy, if you had any doubt in your head that this city would maintain its absolute manic obsession with all things Steelers, you can put that worry to rest.

1. Is there any way I can move forward in this line? Hey! DRINK!!!!!!!
