Better than PittGirl

Posted by pittgirl on 13 Feb 2007 | Tagged as: Hot Burghers, Uncategorized

Those cuties over at the Carbolic Smoke Ball have obviously been hitting the funny sauce, because while hilarity usually ensues over there, a few recent posts are hilarious to the power of eleventy.
1.  In case you need to eat Fido
2.  The Chief of Making Shit Up (it’s a thing!) continues to make shit up.
3.  Terror [...]

Lucky ass rodent.

Seeing as I’m tired of being cold (and the fact that this has been a relatively mild winter, you understand how much of a sissy I am), and seeing as it’s going to be in the negative digits this weekend, and seeing as I’m not heading to Cancun until August this year, this warms the [...]

The PG hates Rick Santorum

Posted by pittgirl on 11 Jan 2007 | Tagged as: Uncategorized

So Rick Santorum, or as lots of people like to call him, The Devil, finally decided what he will do with his life post-Senate …
Former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum has joined a conservative Washington think tank where he will found and direct a program called “America’s Enemies.”
Does the PG entitle that article with a headline [...]

Issues.

Dudes. Sorry about that. Server was down. Lost some posts. Fixed most of them. My latest “What they’re really thinking” was not recovered so I’ll work on rewriting that one.  While I’m doing that, go check out this adorable video that reader Heather sent to me.
More later.

Dear WQED,

All right, I’ll admit it. This year’s Pittsburgh Magazine 25 Most Beautiful People contains a lot less abject fug than last year’s dismal, barf-inducing edition.
While I’m throughly annoyed that Wendy Bell, Matt Lamanna, David Conrad, Bruce Gradkowski, or Troy Polamalu were not selected, I’m not gagging at the faces I’m seeing. Way to finally get [...]

Deep down. PittGirl? Not so nice.

Posted by pittgirl on 02 Jan 2007 | Tagged as: Random, Uncategorized

Damn, Burghers. Do you know how hard it is to post to a blog when your entire family is in town and none of them know you have a blog? Real hard.
Moving on. Or “moving forward” as Lukey would say.
This story fully illustrates why PittGirl will forever and ever and ever be afraid of [...]

What should PittGirl do?!

Posted by pittgirl on 08 Dec 2006 | Tagged as: David Conrad, Uncategorized

This almost seems too easy.
My new bestest friend Lino Gunn emailed me to let me know about this:
A mural by Pittsburgh artist Robert Qualters that used to hang on Chiodos Tavern in Homestead is going to be remounted on the front of Steel Valley High School, Munhall, at 4 p.m. next Friday. The mural depicts [...]

You can’t tell, but I’m REALLY happy right now.

Posted by pittgirl on 14 Nov 2006 | Tagged as: Random, Uncategorized

Because FoxNews could just find no other photo to pair with that headline or headline to pair with that photo.
You know that game where you have to say the first word that comes to your mind after the other person says a word?  When I play that game and someone says “happy” the first words [...]

I just don’t get it.

I’m soooo confused over this whole smoking ban mess because what was once a clear cut ban on smoking in workplaces has turned into a big mass of bureaucratic wrangling and exemptions.
The County Council … who are now looking about as bright as City Council … voted yesterday on some modifications to the ban, thanks [...]

I want to be a bus driver when I grow up.

Posted by pittgirl on 16 Oct 2006 | Tagged as: Eye rolls, Uncategorized

I always imagined that a bus driver doesn’t make that much money.  I assumed they were pulling in maybe 35 grand a year at most for driving that bus.  I had no freaking clue:

The top operator at the Port Authority grossed $90,762 in wages in 2005 — $41,725 of it in overtime — according to [...]
