1. Wow. What a couple of slow snark-worthy news days. Yesterday I walked past a pigeon just lying on its back picking its teeth all, “Man, PittGirl, if things don’t pick up soon around here I’m going to have to entertain myself and your eyeballs are looking quite juicy.”

The 9th Annual Black Sheep Puppet Festival is in town with lots of shows for both adults and kids … they say.
See?
They’re also in town to once again prove that art that PittGirl doesn’t understand … usually scares the hell out of me.

This is part one and includes some great lines:
“In Seattle football’s a trend. In Kansas City it’s a passion. In Pittsburgh – it’s their identity” - Ancient Klingon Proverb

Because they made me laugh, some of the awesome ways people have landed at the Burgh Blog in the last week:
“super glue for penis”

Brian Lanz’s reign as the current Annoying Burgher is ending.

They’ll have to make do without at least one member, Mark Brentley [...]
