it's not a rhetorical question, for politely saying 'you are an idiot, you don't know what you are talking about'


last week i was driving downtown and heard some cop yell on a megaphone "THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T PARK ON THE CORNER!" before continuing on in his car, yelling at other people

i think he had just gotten it, or maybe it was some training day thing and he was high on pcp

the phillies should have events like free claw hammer night, tuneless brass trumpet night, unlimited beer night, and something where during the 7th inning stretch a realistic effigy of the opposing teams pitcher is brought into the field and burned while recorded screaming and pleas for mercy play over the speakers

youll find them at literally any wawa so just go get some today



in grade school before we opened the butterscotch krimpet pack we'd rub it on the cafeteria table butterscotch side down because the rumor was if you did that the butterscotch stuff wouldn't stick to the package.


i admit to this day whenever i have some i rub it on the table first.

Philly sports teams get a bad rap, but do you hate Putin and Russia? Well let's reminisce about when the Philadelphia Flyers beat the poo poo out of the USSR "Red Army" hockey team so bigly that they gave up and left the ice like little babies:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bE72Unn_E1A

The fans are passionate as heck and that Santa Claus was some drunk skinny dude who was being obnoxious so he deserved it.
does the Flyers announcer still reference Tastykakes when they score? i always liked that it even though it's product placement

philly fans are indefensibly bad, though, and probably worse than boston fans. you can't get worse than throwing bracelets commemorating the recently-deceased owner because the Flyers were getting the poo poo kicked out of them

given how bad the Blackhawks previous owner was, throwing bracelets is the least anyone can do

It was funny since the Flyers get a penalty for the bad behavior of the fans during this incident.


Philly has has much lower rent prices with even downtown area apartments being lower than NYC manhattan prices.

I was interviewing for a job in Philly in December but they've been ghosting me since the new year and I'm kinda bummed. I really wanted in on the cheap NBA tickets. Oh, and the crack market that the police just gave up enforcing possession and minor dealing laws at. That sounds great.

Also just about everything from rent to restaurant meals are much cheaper than NYC.

So cheaper price but you can still enjoy the same street fights/people yelling at each other in NE accents like in NYC

For ethnic food I think I've eaten at a dozen places in Chinatown and haven't had a bad meal yet. Lunch sammich place is probably Campo's but they're a touch pricey. There's a number of really good beer bars here (Eulogy, Monk's) but if you wanted locally-brewed stuff then I think Yard's is really good.

Really though, my wife and I are continuously surprised at how many good places there are to eat around here, and the variety.

You can certainly get a good slice around here, but it's not a city known for pizza, for sure.

The answer as to where, is Lorenzo's on South Street (across the street from Dobb's/Pontiac/whatever it's called now), at 1:00 a.m., somewhat inebriated, eating it over a trashcan out on the street with thirty other people. If I have to explain it to you, you won't understand.

Lorenzo's is trash compared to any pizza you can get from northern NJ or NY.
