Sometime last night, Big Ben had a dream about PittGirl.
Sometime last night, a group of pigeons gathered on the roof of the Circle Bar in Market Square to plot their next attack on PittGirl because someone tipped them off that she was installing a robotic falcon on her purse.
Sometime last night, Lukey stood in front [...]

Robert mined Craigslist for PittGirl

Posted by pittgirl on 24 Apr 2007 | Tagged as: Steelers, Weird Burghers

Reader Robert alerted me to this awesome ad on Craigslist:

Hmm, ladies.  What would you do for Steelers tickets?
I know what you’re thinking:  “PittGirl, this is one of those lame ads in which the poster is the losingest loser that ever did lose and his one and only redeeming characteristic is that he has season tickets [...]

PittGirl disturbs the shit.

Holy shit, Burghers!
I don’t try to be a shit disturber, but my God, I have seriously without meaning to disturbed the very shit that I try to not disturb.
I have stirred the pot into a whirlwind of name-calling, Benny-defending, PittGirl-hating glory.

Some snippets from the comments of my most recent posts about Benny:
Don’t worry about my [...]

Priceless

Reader Lynne informed me that Benny was on the aol.com front page.

That?  Is a flattering pic.
Man, I just know there is a MasterCard Priceless joke to be made.  I just can’t put my finger on it.

Dear Benny,

If I even so much as hear through a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend that you even breathed a teeny tiny tiny tiny tiny breath of anything even remotely sounding a little itty bitty bitty like, “My thumb hurts” during this upcoming football season, I’m going to copy this article [...]

Do you have $4,000 PittGirl can borrow?

You could say it’s a bird of a different feather. Liverpool, plagued by pigeons that pollute the city center with their droppings, is introducing a mechanical falcon which squawks and flaps its wings in hopes of scaring the pesky birds away.
The city council is buying 10 Robops, short for robotic bird of prey, at a [...]

“It’s mine. I own it.”

My own personal email address seems to have been added to the mailing list to receive “Mayor Luke Ravenstahl’s Neighborhood Message.”
That is what it is called.
Not “The Neighborhood Message” or “Won’t You Be My Neighbor,” but “MAYOR LUKE RAVENSTAHL’S Neighborhood Message.” See:

Some snippets:
With the removal of development inhibiting tax liens, the construction [...]

It’ll be okay, Burghers.

Posted by pittgirl on 20 Apr 2007 | Tagged as: Penguins

I do!
The Pens lost, but please don’t despair.
They were so far down the list last year that to make it to the playoffs this year was in and of itself an astounding feat. You must look at it in terms of the big picture. They went above our expectations for them.
See, Pirates, we’re [...]

Fishing for praise.

Do you like the new masthead?  (you may need to clear your cache or reload the page several times)
This is one of those times that while it may appear I am asking you for your objective and honest opinion, I am really fishing for effusive praise in the form of, “PittGirl, that is the best [...]

1. A man got shot in broad daylight on Smithfield during this morning’s rush. I’m glad I decided to work from home today. One more crazy lunatic with a gun story and I’m going to have to arm myself to the teeth.
2. Listen you guys. You cannot drink for this. [...]
