The City of Brotherly Love strikes again.

First? Perhaps we could just learn to chill a bit.
Posted by: kittypaws | October 24, 2006 at 04:15 PM

Now does everyone get my point??!!
Some people just need killin'.
Posted by: blurk | October 24, 2006 at 04:20 PM
Never doubted you for a minute, Blurkie old boy!
Posted by: Punkin Poo | October 24, 2006 at 04:21 PM
Right you are, Blurk. And it's "Filthadelphia, City of Brotherly Shove" in reality. Spent two loooooong years there myself.
Posted by: AvidReader | October 24, 2006 at 04:24 PM
Avid - so you are familiar with our lovely highway: the SureKill Distressway?
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | October 24, 2006 at 04:26 PM
Seriously, I would hate to be the judge in this case. What the hell punishment would be fitting for this moronic example of walking stupidity?
Posted by: blurk | October 24, 2006 at 04:27 PM
blurk - public flogging
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | October 24, 2006 at 04:29 PM
blurk, I would say sterilization, but it appears to be too late.
Posted by: KOW | October 24, 2006 at 04:29 PM
The SureKill! Of course. Mr. Avid once made a spectacular left turn into the oncoming lane on Roosevelt Blvd. with 3 other cars full of friends following him. A truly memorable ride.
Posted by: AvidReader | October 24, 2006 at 04:31 PM
The City of Brotherly Gun...altho it wasnt hard to figure which one pulled the gun...
Posted by: Chaz | October 24, 2006 at 04:31 PM
and avid...INNER city Philly is yucky...'burbs are the nicest anywhere...
Valley forge park is soooo nice
Posted by: Chaz | October 24, 2006 at 04:32 PM
Very true, Chaz. I reserve my slurs for the city environs and the corruption therein. The 'burbs are lovely and friendly, too.
Posted by: AvidReader | October 24, 2006 at 04:34 PM
Two (#2 & 3) of State Farm's Top 10 dangerous Intersections are on Roosevelt Blvd. Some people get a rush from jumping out of a plane. I get mine driving the Boulevard and SureKill.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | October 24, 2006 at 04:34 PM
yeah, but while you are waiting for the tow truck, you can go to Nicks roast beef....
Posted by: Chaz | October 24, 2006 at 04:38 PM
Snork @ State Farm!
Posted by: AvidReader | October 24, 2006 at 04:38 PM
oh look...one is by me
Pembroke Pines, FL: Flamingo Road and Pines Boulevard
Posted by: Chaz | October 24, 2006 at 04:38 PM
Philly has a nice zoo too. no pandas though...
Posted by: Chaz | October 24, 2006 at 04:39 PM
Ah, sportsmanship... What excellent role models!
Posted by: estrogen centrale | October 24, 2006 at 04:39 PM
Having been an assistant coach where a field was in a suburban area that was the subject of a gang truce to permit entry, exit and no weapons in return for free registrations for siblings of gang members, I can attest that not all suburbs are as clean as rumored.
At a different field, three or four assistants and coaches who didn't have teams on the field had to get between two sets of parents when a play left a first baseman on the ground.
It's nuts out there and not just in Philly.
Posted by: Heinrich the Rat | October 24, 2006 at 04:41 PM
DPC, Chaz, Avid - THAT would be EXACTLY why I NEVER drive in Philly. SEPTA is my friend. The R5 gets me almost anywhere I need to go, and if I can't make it between the train and walking, I don't go. LOVE my little burb.....Philly, not so much!
Posted by: sthnbelle | October 24, 2006 at 04:44 PM
And Chaz, you're right about the zoo - that would be the one exception to my "never drive in Philly" rule. The kid and I are members. Have you been since they opened the new Big Cat Falls?
Posted by: sthnbelle | October 24, 2006 at 04:45 PM
And I thought about sending this in, but decided it was just too sad....
Posted by: sthnbelle | October 24, 2006 at 04:46 PM
Did I break the blog??
I had 3 comments, and suddenly the numbers went down.....
Posted by: sthnbelle | October 24, 2006 at 05:02 PM
Thank heaven my children are too lazy to play sports.
Posted by: baligurl | October 24, 2006 at 05:02 PM
sthnbelle,
The comment counter's been screwed up for a few days now.
I don't care 'cause I can't count.
Posted by: blurk | October 24, 2006 at 05:03 PM
Must be quittin' time - that really made me laugh, blurk.
Posted by: sthnbelle | October 24, 2006 at 05:04 PM
Been a LOOOOOONNNGG day....
Posted by: sthnbelle | October 24, 2006 at 05:04 PM
Tell me about it. This blog's the only thing that's kept me from trying to smoke my shirt sleeve.
Posted by: blurk | October 24, 2006 at 05:06 PM
Both those guys look like axe murderers! I can't believe they have let them any where near children! They need to be in a Church Confessional....no, wait...
Posted by: Beppie | October 24, 2006 at 05:06 PM
blurk, I've said it before - the blog is my (somewhat tenuous) link to sanity.
Thanks to all!!

Not That There's Anyway Wayne With That.
Posted by: danceswithvowels | October 24, 2006 at 05:13 PM
But what happened with the killer exploding keg (link at the bottom of the page)?
Posted by: | October 24, 2006 at 05:15 PM
Not That There's Anything Wayne With That.
Errgh.
Posted by: danceswithvowels | October 24, 2006 at 05:18 PM
As a Little League mom, I can safely assert that kid's sports are about the scariest thing there is.
and DPC - I too live within walking distance of 2 of State Farm's top 10 here in Tulsa! We have something (horribly scary) in common!
Posted by: OkieDokie | October 24, 2006 at 05:27 PM
Lesson from LA traffic - if everybody moves really slowly, nobody gets hurt...much.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 24, 2006 at 05:45 PM
Lesson from Great Falls, MT traffic - Gridlock usually involves a tractor.
Posted by: blurk | October 24, 2006 at 05:47 PM
town slogan -
Great Falls - Less Filling
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 24, 2006 at 05:51 PM
blurk, Hager City WI too. We always say if there are 5 cars going by the intersection it's a traffic jam. Of course I work in Minneapols, so I do get traffic jams for real.
Posted by: kittypaws | October 24, 2006 at 05:51 PM
Annie, come visit and I'll show ya a great time on the town. That'll take about 15 minutes and then we'll play Yahtzee or sumpthin'.
Posted by: blurk | October 24, 2006 at 05:54 PM
I like Yahtzee. Just sayin'.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 24, 2006 at 05:56 PM
Wyo, you can bring the beer.
Party time!!!
Posted by: blurk | October 24, 2006 at 05:57 PM
Traffic jams here in Maine usually occur when a 13ft truck tries to go under the 11ft bridge. Has happened twice this month - so far.
Posted by: Punkin Poo | October 24, 2006 at 05:57 PM
(What? I don't get offered a drink???)
Posted by: Punkin Poo | October 24, 2006 at 05:59 PM
Give me a sec, Punkin!!
I was recoverin' from the simul.
Posted by: blurk | October 24, 2006 at 06:00 PM
I like parties, too.
Once, on the autobahn outside Frankfurt, we were caught in a stau (traffic jam). The Germans in the bus next to us broke out the beer, and we just had us a little party there on the highway for about a half hour. We had no Yahtzee, but made do.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 24, 2006 at 06:00 PM
When in Germany...or was that Rome?
Oh well, it don't matter long as ya got beer.
Posted by: blurk | October 24, 2006 at 06:02 PM
Ok, ok.....I'm keepin' my shirt on....
Posted by: Punkin Poo | October 24, 2006 at 06:03 PM
Whoa whoa whoa...nobody said anything 'bout keepin' shirts on. I said give me a sec.
Posted by: blurk | October 24, 2006 at 06:04 PM
It better be more than a sec, Blurk - I ain't no machine.
Posted by: Punkin Poo | October 24, 2006 at 06:05 PM
You're not? Then what's that buzzin' I hear?
Sorry, that was too easy to pass up.
Posted by: blurk | October 24, 2006 at 06:06 PM
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr............ok, I asked for that.
Listen, keep a beer on ice for me....gotta go eat my carbonera.
Posted by: Punkin Poo | October 24, 2006 at 06:07 PM
Beer's on ice. Go eat yer whateverthatis.
Posted by: blurk | October 24, 2006 at 06:09 PM
So since it's after hours we can take our shirts off?
Posted by: kittypaws | October 24, 2006 at 06:10 PM
What's after hours got to do with anything?
Posted by: blurk | October 24, 2006 at 06:11 PM
I just didn't want to freak out anyone still workin'
Posted by: kittypaws | October 24, 2006 at 06:13 PM
blurkie & crew - game for you.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 24, 2006 at 06:17 PM
Awesome!! Except...
"This version, is obviously meant for two players, and is open to lots of variation."
Sez who?
Posted by: blurk | October 24, 2006 at 06:20 PM
That's gotta be better than strip Boggle.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 24, 2006 at 06:22 PM
Yeah! Sez who?
*checks company regulations regarding strip yachtzee*
Nope, nuthin' there. Must be ok.
Where's my parka?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 24, 2006 at 06:23 PM
Next thing you know, somebody's gonna break out a twister mat, and then it's all over.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 24, 2006 at 06:24 PM
Wyo, Just remember to bring yer remote to this shindig.
Posted by: blurk | October 24, 2006 at 06:26 PM
Remote? Far out!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 24, 2006 at 06:26 PM
I dig shins!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 24, 2006 at 06:28 PM

Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 24, 2006 at 06:28 PM

Posted by: crossgirl | October 24, 2006 at 06:31 PM
Shoot!!
Party's just gettin' started and it's time to go home.
Have a great evening and don't pull any muscles.
Posted by: blurk | October 24, 2006 at 06:35 PM
Wyo - methinks you need new batteries.
and....booger!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 24, 2006 at 06:37 PM

Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 24, 2006 at 06:38 PM
i'll just put my shirt on, pack my game and go home. hrmph.
Posted by: crossgirl | October 24, 2006 at 07:17 PM
Dang! I'm finally home, meatloaf in the oven and happily in sweatpants. Being responsible sucks.
Posted by: baligurl | October 24, 2006 at 07:21 PM
Heyyyyy, where'd my shirt go? I left it right here.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 24, 2006 at 07:22 PM
Sorry, awbh, threw it in the washer. Because I'm so stinkin' responsible. I'll press it and hang it on your doorknob. Beer?
Posted by: baligurl | October 24, 2006 at 07:26 PM
Thank yew! Is it chilly in here or is it just me?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 24, 2006 at 07:28 PM
darn right nipply tonight.
Posted by: crossgirl | October 24, 2006 at 07:30 PM
At least blurkie didn't swipe my shirt again. I thought for sure he'd stolen it.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 24, 2006 at 07:31 PM
I took it away fromhim. He just looked silly in it.
Posted by: baligurl | October 24, 2006 at 07:35 PM
You can have this sweatshirt, Annie. I'm working to hard, I need a t shirt.
Posted by: baligurl | October 24, 2006 at 07:36 PM
Thanks. He would have stretched it out. ;)
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 24, 2006 at 07:40 PM
Sometimes it pays to work late. Think of the show the boys missed. You cruise, you lose.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 24, 2006 at 07:45 PM
In that case, I'm passin' on the shirt altogether. Let's let the boys think about us in the altogether.
Posted by: baligurl | October 24, 2006 at 07:56 PM
So we're all going shirtless now?
And I've got my own Twister mat we can use.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | October 24, 2006 at 08:07 PM
some irresistable force brought me back. Hmmm.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 24, 2006 at 08:10 PM
I guess we are all going shirtless. I'm really glad there is some heat here tonight. (Kind of chilly outside)
So twister, that works for me.
Posted by: kittypaws | October 24, 2006 at 08:11 PM
Right hand - Red
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | October 24, 2006 at 08:12 PM
Oh, hey I just thought of something, no shirts, no bras, no bra back lumps. It's all good
Posted by: kittypaws | October 24, 2006 at 08:12 PM
Left nipple - Green
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | October 24, 2006 at 08:15 PM
If blurkie were here, I know he'd wanna play musical chairs.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 24, 2006 at 08:16 PM
The boys are back in town!
Posted by: baligurl | October 24, 2006 at 08:34 PM
kitty, my first read was "bra back Pumps".. I was trying to visualise those shoes!
Posted by: baligurl | October 24, 2006 at 08:35 PM
Bali - when you get them figured out, let me know please. My wife has every other kind of shoe known to mankind. I'm sure she'd like a pair of those also.
Left foot - Blue
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | October 24, 2006 at 08:40 PM
I am SO not a shoe-person. Never have been. I waste my money on scubs trips and photography equipment. When my friends maunder on about shoes, my eyes glaze over.
Posted by: baligurl | October 24, 2006 at 08:47 PM
Right elbow green.
Posted by: baligurl | October 24, 2006 at 08:48 PM
And sometimes, scubA trips. Ahem.
Posted by: baligurl | October 24, 2006 at 08:50 PM
Scrubs is a good show, however.
Right knee - yellow
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | October 24, 2006 at 09:01 PM
Yeah, I heard that. Left shoulder green.
Posted by: baligurl | October 24, 2006 at 09:12 PM
