My best friend is a die-hard Eagles fan. He went to Philly to see the Eagles play the Falcons, which are his son's favourite team-- who of course wore his Falcons jersey right into Assholingtonville. He was giddy days leading up to it, he never misses a game, a down. If you call him during a game he simply says into the phone that he'll kill you and then hangs up. Well, he ended up having to knock out a fellow Eagles fan at the Linc' because some fat, drunk lout wouldn't stop screaming obscenities in his son's face when the Eagles won. His son was ten years old at the time. Usually a city has shitty fans in one sport, but Philly seems to have them in all four major sports. Need I remind you the Phillies fan intentionally vomiting on a five-year-old-girl. You cannot beat that. You would have to run onto the field and sodomize a newborn to stoop any lower than that.
I'm surprised they didn't start throwing stuff at him. Jim Goad, on of my favorite journalists, is a native of Philadelphia, and he's written a lot about that city over the years, calling it "The angriest city in America": http://streetcarnage.com/blog/10-things-to-do-in-philly/ (fun fact: if any of you have ever wondered what I sound like in real life, Goad's voice and mine are uncannily similar. Click the link in the text of that article to hear his corrected speech pattern, and I sound pretty much the same. I've fooled some of my friends with that clip. There's also a lot of footage of him on youtube.)
I considered going to philly for a Phillies game with The Husband while I'm on maternity leave but...fuck that. I want to...but that city is worse than Baltimore. And I fucking Hhhhhaaaaaaaatttteeeee Baltimore.
Anyone else watching "Wet Hot American Summer" on Netflix? I'm liking it allllllllmost as much as the movie.
This weekend was cray. I got to see Billy Boyd be extremely charming and Scottish. Milo Ventimiglia had a beard and flexy biceps and pretended like the people at the mic weren't asking the same question over and over. William Shatner actually heckled the nervous nerds trying to ask him questions - the one who was a straight up cripple was lobbing it back to him. And then I got to gush lame shit at Billie Piper as she signed my banana.
RIP, Hitchbot. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is on TV. Personally, my favourite in the franchise. One of my buddies' girlfriends went on a tirade a few years back about how Crystal Skull was the best Indy movie. I'm pretty sure he dumped her over that statement.
In other news, Disney is spittin' mad about Amy Schumer dressing up as "slave Leia" for a GQ photo spread. http://variety.com/2015/film/news/amy-schumer-star-wars-gq-cover-disney-lucasfilm-1201543231/ Spoiler Eh, it coulda been worse.
Dude that's old news. Although I guess you have a lot of catching up to do since you were in the clink. You know they discontinued Internet Explorer right? And tablets are now a thing.
