1. So, as soon as these little trolls, who have apparently been charged by Satan with scrubbing my throat raw with rusty Brillo pads, are gone, I’m going to be 100%. For now, though, I’m 75% and mainlining tequila. It’s a good burn.
2. It’s hard to complain about being sick when you [...]

1. Good cold I’m actually wearing a sweater, wool pants and do-me boots this morning because someone decided to play a real nice cosmic meteorological practical joke on Al Gore by having a high of 55 degrees at the end of May while he’s in the city talking about the horrors wrought by some [...]

The Steelers have been busy babymama beaters lately, toiling away at Minicamp.
Let’s check in, shall we?
We shall. Come away with me, Burghers.
Mike Tomlin had hat day and Benny showed up as a Mexican:
You are, Benny. You are.
Recovering from knee surgery, Troysus was there, also looking fug and gross:
Jeff Reed was there, throwing signs [...]

1. Whew! I had planned to post earlier, but I felt I needed to give that censorship argument some room to grow and grow it did. After a few readers reprimanded me in private emails and not so private Tweets, I might be feeling a smidgen guilty about the “shove it up [...]

1. Yes, it’s D-Day as Jeff Verszyla (hey! I just spelled his name right on the first try all by myself. Yay, me.) called it during the news last night. I think the words he put up on the map were, drizzly, dreary, and I don’t know. Droopy? Whatever. My point, Burghers, is take heart!
We [...]

I had planned to take today off, I did. My oldest sister is in town and I’ve been enjoying chitchatting and not going to work and just kind of drinking coffee and blasting the suck that is certain American Idol contestants.
But then I checked my emails to see if anyone had written me all, “Where [...]

1. I’m over Jason Castro and his gorgeous eyes, sticky dreads, and ’sup, dude? ‘tude. I’m getting over Brooke White’s Who? Little ole me? furrowed eyebrow schtick. I’ve been over David Archuleta’s lip-licking, heavy-breathing singing and I was never under any other contestant.
Now, in addition to finding Michael Johns suddenly worthy of my listening ears, [...]

1. The McDonald’s employees at the Smithfield Street McDonald’s (I got coffee there this a.m.) have got to be the most underpaid employees in the city. Do you realize what they deal with there? Toothless drunks with half-burned cigarettes tucked behind their ears ordering a small coffee and paying in pennies. People with mysterious liquid [...]

1. I am suddenly on like a 90’s kick or something. Maybe late 80’s/early 90’s. I don’t know.
All I know is that I have season-passed Pop Up Video on VH1 Classic (Danger Zone! Kenny Loggins!), have found myself really enjoying the hell out of some Wham! songs on 92.9 (WTF, I know), and [...]

Dear Sir Duke,
It is stories like this:
There was a special guest at Tuesday’s taping of the PNC Hines Ward Show. But we aren’t just talking about Ben Roethlisberger. It was one of Big Ben’s biggest fans: an 8 year old boy with a devastating illness who met his idol.
To say it was an opportunity of [...]
