Go West, Young Man
Icepack
Our writer traverses Pennsylvania on bicycle, and (barely) lives to tell the tale.
Finally I do it: I announce my vacation, pack up the bike, and start
pedaling the 380 miles to Pittsburgh with the notion of seeing
something of this "Pennsylvania."
Know Your Enemy
A Million StoriesYou, NewFan, have got problems.
Unlike last year, when the Phillies faced the undeniably annoying
(cow bells? Rayhawks?) but ultimately unimposing Tampa Bay Rays, the
2009 Phils are facing off against the most despicable professional
franchise this side of the Dallas Cowboys — the New York Yankees.
If you've lived here long enough, you've probably heard this story before.
Instead of calling 911 I spent the evening combing the streets of South
Philly in a PhillyCarShare car with my supportive but annoyed
boyfriend. This is so ridiculous, he said. This city is so screwed up,
I said.
666
The Bell CurveThere's slightly demonic stuff everywhere you look.
The microwave started
beeping. And with each beep — and I swear this is true — a "6" appeared
on the screen: "6," it beeped. "6." "666." The numbers wouldn't clear.
I tried again; same thing. So Satan controls my microwave, big whup.
City Paper's Quality-o-Life-o-Meter
When news breaks in Philadelphia, we make jokes.
IcepackAmorosi on the news, nightlife, gossip and bitchiness beats.
I neither like nor read Nick Hornby. If I wanna know about bad things the '80s gave us, I have a diary and a shattered nervous system to reference.
