Quick, Too The Man Cave

Willow-Brick Laying_34.jpg
Fall means the beginning of another hockey season and of many more 4th periods that stretch through to Big Heads and beyond.

For 4th Period ideas there is a new spot that promises to be a "Man Cave Meets Temple of Beer," Brick House Tavern + Tap has opened at 2402 Easton Rd. Will its staff of attractive females dressed in less than the average Hooters girl call to our loins. Will the promise of Victory Hop Wallop on cask appeal to our inner-beer geek. Is it all too much? Will the corporate-vibe send us scurrying faster than when the K9 unit shows up in the parking lot?

Only time and investigation will tell.

Party Zamboni

eBay Motors has an offer the Wissahickon Skating Club should consider. It's a hot rod dragster Zamboni.

This is not your granny’s Zamboni. This thrill-show veteran has had some cosmetic surgery. After twenty-five years of cruising hockey rinks it now specializes in burn-outs and beach parties. Looks like a regular Zamboni until you pull the party starter. Then the lid raises up over the chip bin exposing a full tiki bar, grass skirts, bamboo mats, tiki dolls, exotic cocktails, disco lamps and a huge 454 c.i. Big Block Chevy to move it along.

Oh God, There's More

Via the Associated Jenkins Press
I forgot about the encore....

....it is impossible to get the Berks out of bed, packed and moving. I think we left around 12:30, a good 2 hours after the last guys. We finally get on the road and Ryan Berk is riding shot gun and announces that he has to puke. We have only been in the car for about 8 minutes and we are still on the road that Brett's cabin is on; the skinny one with all the snow on the sides and no where to pull over. So he puts his fat head out the window and his hat blows off at 50 mph, followed by the spray of Labbott's, chili and a whole lot of shots all over the side of the car. Door and window. Dan Berk is now trapped in the back, unable to roll his window down for fear of letting in some chunder bits. This will be important later. Well, Berk still has to puke and he wants his hat back so we have to turn around. The only place I find to pull a u-turn is some guys drive-way with clearly posted signs of no trespassing. As soon as I pull into the drive-way, Berk blows another stomach full all over this guy’s property. Then, in the process of turning around, I get stuck in the snow, so he has to get out and push. Once we are free he leaves one more pile in the drive way while I waited for cars to pass so I could go back looking for the hat. By now the hat has been hit and passed so many times that it has blown up just short of the guy’s house we just violated. But I don't see it until I am already going back towards the cabin. I also notice that the hat is on a downward hill meaning that when I stop, I've got a good chance of catching a pick-up in the ass. When I am finally able to find a spot to make another u-turn, it is a hiking trail parking lot. Berk leaves his mark there as well. On the way back to the hat I floor it to create some space between me and whichever Billy Ray Cyrus fan may be behind me. When I cross the hill at about 60-65, the hat comes up quick. I slam on the brakes and we skid to the hat. Remember, in front of our new friend’s house. Dan Berk, now high (because that seemed to be the only logical think to do) can't help but recreate the scene this guy must have witnessed as he drank some coffee and looked out the window.

Some car pulls into his private driveway.

Some other guy pukes.

Then they get stuck.

The guy who puked is now pushing the car.

OK good, now they are leaving.

Oh wait, that guy puked again.

At least they are gone.

Now they are back? What is going on? Am I being robbed?

Slammed on brakes, get hat, speed away.

So now 40 minutes into our trip we are 6 miles away from the cabin. If anyone remembers, Dan Berk drew on Ryan with a sharpie the night before. Ryan is not happy and vows revenge. Dan claims that the stomach veil he left all over the side of the car should suffice for any ink on his ear. Ryan initially agrees. Until Dan starts farting....and unable to roll his window down due to the possibility of barf coming in, we all have to sit there and eat it. Ryan is not doing so well. We are forced to pull over yet again. This time a McDonalds so Ryan can go inside and call some dinosaurs for about 15 minutes. Ryan blames this second puke episode solely on Dan and claims he now owes him again and will piss on Dan's tooth bush. Dan doesn't agree to this and reply's that if Ryan does piss on his tooth brush, that he will poop in Ryan's shoe. This back and forth continues for most of the ride home.

Ryan Berk puts exclamation point on Sh*t Show Cup performance

Via the Associated Jenkins Press
PIKE COUNTY (Pa) - The bar was placed high....who could imagine someone with the audacity, determination and liver capacity to knock a walking comatose version of a human wearing a chicken costume from the pond hockey pedestal. Where could one draw the inspiration to out fox the anti-Semitic comments made while chastising another who chose to stay at home and not punch his gong-fest time card. His attempt on the only female in the house was pure genius and the stuff that face slapping one liners are made of. And surely, any mortal human would succumb to falling in the fire if they even attempted to pickle their insides at the caliber and intensity that the Goat portrayed during night 1 of the Shit Show. Enter Ryan Berk. This daring individual pulled out all the stops on night 2 to surpass the Goat and launch himself in to pond hockey history to capture the inaugural Shit Show Cup Award. The passing of the old guard may have begun mid-day on the pond during day 2. In what may have been a symbolic foreshadow of the night to come (as well as the new hit single by Bernie and Dan Berk), the chicken suit wearing Goat challenged Berk to a battle while wearing a giant banana. The result was summed up in the lyrics by the younger of the Kenzo brothers in "Bannannnnnnnaaaaa fcuked the chickeeeeennnnnn, cuz the @sshole wuz gooooooddddd". While some may classify this as Goat passing the baton, most viewed it as Berk ripping said baton from the frozen, hung-over chicken wing of the early favorite and running into the history books. The relationship between past and present was smoothed over as the two repositioned the keg to sit between them.

Ryan Berk was never the dark horse though. Vegas odds put him at 3-5 to win this award, ironically the same odds given to The Goat. But it may have been The Goat's full throttle sprint out of the chicken coup on night 1 followed by him hitting a wall on night two, resulting in him passing out in a chair while wearing a seizure helmet and a mining light, that fueled the giant banana to step up his game. Berk had a pretty impressive night 1 himself, orchestrating numerous toboggan runs, terrible gas, and being the master of ceremonies for the now famous match between Chris Halligan and Bill Cleary....resulting in Bernie and Dan Berks second hit in the same tone as the first "Halliiigggaaaannnnnn fcuked the Cleeeeaaaarrryyyyy, cuz the @sshole wuz goooooood". Make no mistake about it though.....it was Ryan Berk performance on night 2 that sealed the win and looks to push any future Shit Show Award candidate to the brink of insanity or a flight to Betty Ford. When the keg shared by the two beer behemoths was kicked, and the Goat was looking for Jones' bed, it was Ryan Berk who decided it was time to put the Cleary's and children to bed and go out looking for dinner. Leading the charge to the bar, eye-witnesses claimed that the pride of Kensington was in rare form. Ordering shots for multiple people, drinking all of them and proclaiming his love of the Flyers to some poor guy who happened to put on a black and orange hat that evening. While his night at the bar may have been cut short at the request of the bartender, it was the events that transpired back at the cabin for which Berk will remain famous. With the grace and poise of a bull in a china shop, our hero preformed many a cartwheel, attempted back flips and even challenged a coffee table to a shoving match. After putting our friend Corey in a leg scissor grip and surviving a 'Shark Fin' attack by his brother, the giant banana finally succumbed to his alcohol consumption and his night ended as abruptly as Cleary's manhood with Berk passing out on the floor next to one of the pieces of Brett's furniture that he broke with a flying Timberland. Once Dr. Agostino verified the presence of a pulse and positioned our blue ribbon participant on his side, the curtain came down and the cup could be awarded.

Dock Street Beer, Mexican Food, Thor's Birthday

Hey everyone, I'm getting older (and wiser) and would like to celebrate that wisdom with you Tuesday night at Distrito, University City's coolest new spot.

The main floor has a lounge and bar area with plenty of room. So come on over, bring your friends, have a drink (there's good beer), eat some of Jose Garces' take on Mexican food and make some snide comment about how old I am.

Distrito is at 40th and Chestnut, decent amounts of on street parking plus a parking garage across the street. Festivities will kick off at 7:30. Wisdom will dwindle as the night goes on.

Give a shout if you're planning on coming by.

Muddle This

mojito_olympics.jpg
Yo boys. Yours truly will be a judge at the Mojito Olympics this Monday night at the Rum Bar in Center City.

Come watch the city's best bartenders create the world's hottest cocktails.
Judges include:
Preston & Steve's Caseboy
Lacroix Chef Matthew Levin
Foobooz editor Arthur Etchells

Starts at 6pm, $8 gets you in and a complimentary mojito. You also get to sample the competitors mojitos and get half-off subsequent mojitos.

Mojito the Moment [City Paper]

Rules after the jump.

Fastest Muddle. You will be timing the competitors in how fast they can make 10 mojitos. You will take points off if the drink doesnt look or taste like it was made properly. Each bartender will be setting up their station, then making the drinks. Youll taste em to check their quality, then the rest will get passed to the guests. Then the next bar will go. This could be the easiest event to judge since about 80% of the score will be based on the time.

Best Traditional. The bartenders will try to impress you with their restaurant's traditional mojito using only approved ingredients. This will be the toughest competition to judge, as many of the mojitos could taste similar, and about 80% of the score will be based on overall taste. Each bartender will be making 5 of these. One for each judge and 2 to disperse to all the guests. Just some advice... dont finish the mojitos until all are made. If you get drunk by the 4th competitor, obviously scores could be inaccurate.

Best in Show. The bartenders will now try to wow you with their own creation using any ingredient they wish, as long as it includes a rum, an herb, a citrus, and a sweetener. Points will be graded on taste, creativity, appearance, and method. Again, they'll be making 5 mojitos dispersed the same way.

Cheesesteak Warning Signs

Hey I'm working on something for Foobooz/the Metro regarding cheesesteaks.

The premise is there are certain warning signs to look for and if you see too many of them abort your cheesesteak purchase. Do you guys have any other warning signs that you're about to have a craptastic steak?

Vernacular - We know that everyone outside of the Delaware Valley refers to a cheesesteak as a "Philly cheesessteak." But if you're within 30 miles of 9th and Passyunk the word "Philly" is a tip off that this is not an authentic cheesesteak. And never order a steak with cheese. This is always a fraud steak sandwich. Also cheesesteak is one word and Microsoft Word should know this.

Non Kraft Whiz - Even if you prefer your steak with provolone or American cheese you should always be on the lookout for non-Kraft cheese spreads. If they're skimping on the quality of the Whiz what are the chances they are using good meat?

Hunts Ketchup - Similar to the Kraft Whiz key is the non-Heinz rule. There is only one true ketchup and it is Heinz. Sure we've tasted homemade ketchup from XXXX and it's great. But for a steak sandwich, they had better be serving up Heinz.

Condiments are optional - If a menu describes the steak sandwich as having hot peppers, mushrooms or anything besides cheese and onions in the description, it's not a real cheesesteak, it's a cheesesteakesque. Buyer beware!

Bread Choices - Steak sandwiches come on a long roll, often from Amoroso. Steak sandwiches are not served on Kaiser rolls, pita bread or in wraps.

Happy Valley Hockey

Game Outside Would Be Cool

In fact, general manager Paul Holmgren already has some plans in mind — namely a game between the Flyers and Penguins at Penn State.

That's not a typographical error: Penn State, Beaver Stadium, 100,000 rabid hockey fans shouting their heads off, all under the stars.

“I don't know if it's even feasible,” Holmgren said Saturday night, “because to have ice outside at an outdoor stadium you have to have certain temperatures. So I have no idea, I've never been to Happy Valley personally but I think it would be kind of cool.”

Don't Get Any Ideas Dowell


"I was in Los Angeles, and the team was playing in San Diego , but I didn't know it. I had taken LSD..... I thought it was an off-day, that's how come I had it in me. I took the LSD at noon. At 1pm, his girlfriend and trip partner looked at the paper and said, "Dock, you're pitching today!"

"That's when it was $9.50 to fly to San Diego. She got me to the airport at 3:30. I got there at 4:30, and the game started at 6:05pm. It was a twi-night doubleheader.

I can only remember bits and pieces of the game. I was psyched. I had a feeling of euphoria.

I was zeroed in on the (catcher's) glove, but I didn't hit the glove too much. I remember hitting a couple of batters and the bases were loaded two or three times.

The ball was small sometimes, the ball was large sometimes, sometimes I saw the catcher, sometimes I didn't. Sometimes I tried to stare the hitter down and throw while I was looking at him. I chewed my gum until it turned to
powder. They say I had about three to four fielding chances. I remember diving out of the way of a ball I thought was a line drive. I jumped, but the ball wasn't hit hard and never reached me."

The Pirates won the game, 2-0, although Ellis walked eight batters. It was the highpoint in the baseball career of one of the finer pitchers of his time, and arguably,one of the greatest achievements in the history of sports.

Another picture after the jump.

Canadians Break Tie in Study

From the Slow News Day Desk of Jive Turkey

The American Government funded a study to see why the head of a man's penis was larger than the shaft. After 1 year and $180,000, they concluded that the reason that the head was larger than the shaft was to give the man more pleasure during sex.
After the US published the study, the French decided to do their own study. After $250,000 and 3 years of research, they concluded that the reason the head was larger than the shaft was to give the woman more pleasure during sex.
Canadians, unsatisfied with these findings, conducted their own study. After 2 weeks and a cost of around $75.46, and 2 cases of beer, they concluded that it was to keep a man's hand from flying off and hitting himself in the forehead.

Drink Your Wheaties

Hey if anyone is interested, there's a small wheat beer festival going on at the South Philadelphia Tap Room tomorrow afternoon. Several local brewers (Sly Fox, Victory, etc.) will be pouring $3 pints of wheat beers from 2 PM onward.
South Philadelphia Tap Room is located in the heart of South Philly, 15th and Mifflin Streets. It is also where there was almost a fight over manatees. I highly recommend sampling the Newbold Spuds and wild boar burrito as you down your beers.

Pecks Pond

Pecks Pond 2-4-07 014_small.jpg
Nicole and Brett were up to the cabin this weekend to find 3 to 4 inches of snow on the pond. After about 8 hours of shoveling over Saturday and Sunday. We have the most beautiful rink of black ice ever. The weather for this week is promising so things are looking great for the upcoming weekend.

Directions after the jump.

Take 309 north to 78 east.
Take 78 east to 33 north.
Take 33 north to 80 east / 209 north.
Take 80 east / 209 north to Marshals Creek exit 309 which is 209 north.
Once off 80 after about 4 miles on 209 north you will come to a "dead end" traffic light.
Turn right and in a few hundred feet you will come to another traffic light.
Make a left at this light (there will be a Mr. Z's supermarket to your right).
After you make your left you will make your first right in less than 100 feet onto 402 north.
Stay on 402 north all the way to Pecks Pond (it will take you about 25 minutes).
You will pass the Inn at Pecks Pond on your right followed by the Pecks Pond Store.
Once past the store SLOW DOWN because my place is about the fifth house past the store on your right.
Look for the "Al's Nest" sign at the end of the driveway and the house is red.

Good luck to all.....

Jagr scored with like four minutes left in the third to tie the game and assisted on the game winning goal with 2.2 seconds left in overtime. What a beautiful moment to experience. I never thought I would hear so many mullets boo at one time and enjoy the sound of it so much nor did I think I would ever root for Jagr.

Great game! See you fellas Wednesday....

Goat Wedding

goat.jpeg
Sudan man forced to 'marry' goat

A Sudanese man has been forced to take a goat as his "wife", after he was caught having sex with the animal.
The goat's owner, Mr Alifi, said he surprised the man with his goat and took him to a council of elders.
They ordered the man, Mr Tombe, to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars ($50) to Mr Alifi.
"We have given him the goat, and as far as we know they are still together," Mr Alifi said.

So What Do You Guys Talk About

So, a couple of the wives wonder... what do you guys talk about till 2 am on Thursday nights/Friday mornings. well, Schmidt's Gay beer commercials came up last night. And The Goat's Bro got so excited he extended the conversation to how he and the Goat used to have dancing contests in their basement. While the crack staff at Philadelphiarams.com couldn't find footage of the Schmidt's Gay beer commercials from SNL, one faithful viewer dug this out of his Goat Family films. Enjoy.

Fall For Drinking!

f8b8zWhether the traditional Oktoberfests, or other regional beer fests, Fall is definitely a high point in beer drinking fun.

This Saturday at Stoudt's Brewery in Adamstown you'll find their second beer celebration of the summer. There are two sessions and twelve brewers on tap.

In September things really heat up as on the 10th, the 2nd Annual Jenkintown Brew Fest is held. After being a rousing success last year, it's back and bigger.

September 17th brings Sippin By The River to Penn's Landing. Always a good time and benefits Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America.

Then on the 23rd Ludwig's Garten hosts their always awesome Oktoberfest out on Sansom Street. Lots of great beer, pigs on spits, and live music.

In October head to the mushroom capital of the world, Kennett Square for their 9th Annual Kennett Brew Fest. And it's a big one, 38 confirmed breweries so far!

Not to be outdone, Newtown is getting into the act with their first beer tasting, live blues, food and fun on Saturday, October 21st. They promise over 30 breweries, brewpubs, and beer importers will be present.

City Paper: Top 5 Philly Food Blogs
Number One: Foobooz

Foobooz (food plus booze—get it?) is only four months old, but it's already making headway as one of Philadelphia's most notable food sites. The one-man show is run by Arthur Etchells, who caught the blog bug while compiling lists of good drink specials for his hockey buddies. Now it's an invaluable resource for budget barhounds and event-seeking foodies alike. Favorite Eats: Amada, Royal Tavern.

Hockey buddies. That's you guys! See I didn't forget the little people.

Z 2 NYT 4 Mangosteen

Here's one for Z-daldo.
Forbidden? Not the Mangosteen

Perched on a dizzyingly steep slope, in a lush landscape dotted with waterfalls and tall bamboo, Ian Crown celebrated the vindication of what he called his madness in a patch in the jungle. He rustled through the thick, glossy leaves of a nine-foot-tall tree, plucked a reddish-purple orb, cut around its equator, twisted off a hemisphere of thick rind, and popped a few delicate, snow-white segments into his mouth.
“I’ve waited so long for this moment,” he said in July, savoring the floral, sweet-tart flavor of one of the most delicious of fruits, and certainly the most hyped: the mangosteen.

Hall More Stingy Than Dowell's 5-Hole

East Falls - In a campus building where Frank Sinatra once wed Greta Garbo, Philadelphia University spokesperson Amanda Huginkiss danced around a very pressing matter Wednesday ...

"Why was Kevin 'The Stopper' Dowell skipped over for induction into the Philadelphia University Hall of fame?
Protesters outside say Dowell, one of the No Back Check League's all-time greatest, deserves to be honored.
After all, who the h-e-double hockey stick are the new members ... Kixx all-star Pat Morris; golfer George Forster; basketball's Eugene Haith; and Karen Wusinich, who lettered in basketball and tennis.
"What? Who? Please? I bet none of them ever played in a championship series at 11:00 am, and walked home (or
somewhere near it) at 3:00 pm blind from Jaeger!," said the "Please let Kevin In" Committee President, Chris Golin. Golin has been lobbying the PU's athletic director for years.
"Kevin is a good guy. He drinks, hangs out, even brings his own seat on Sunday mornings. I can't think of a better alumn to get this honor. and again, he's denied."
Before leaving, Golin said his crew would honor Kevin's goaltending achievements their own way. By playing a game of Kick the Labatt Blue Can. Boys vs.Girls. Later, they planned a pig pile to see if they could bloody Kevin's head again.
"There's always next year. Oh crap, i'm gonna get tagged i better run," Golin said as he booked through the parking lot and down to McMichael park, where base is.

There's always next year.

In a first for Hoagie, super Heron paid for hockey Thursday with a money order. As good as cash, and better than a check, the order was met with lukewarm acceptance by Hoagie who so protested the Federally backed bank roll that he surely had to wonder why Heron had neither a mustache is presumably not gay.

Name Change No Jive

world-cup-wives-06190607.jpg
DATELINE SANTIAGO - When Jive Turkey called an emergency meeting together last week in the Philadelphia Rams "warroom" the front office took a collective deep breath.
Where heads going to roll?
Not exactly. But change was in the air. It seems the Turk, smitten by a photograph of a "soccer betty" on the site submitted by Fiyah, had decided to move to Brazil and set up a satellite office.
Today, more change came over the wire. Jive Turkey has a new name. "It's almost July. Time to start getting in shape. Time to start thinking about this coming hockey season. Time for me to be known as Ronaldeano," said Jive Turkey ... or, as we now know him, Ronaldeano.
"The real Ronaldhino was footballer of the year, and is scoring in more ways than one down here. I figure this only raises my stock both as a player and as a playah."
Response to the name change has been hard to find in the states. But, as World Cup fever spreads throughout Europe ... "I'll soon be more popular than David Hasselhof."

Philadelphiarams.com Awards Ceremony

In a first ever awards ceremony, the tarnished brass at Philadelphiarams.com gave out hardware last night:
All the stars were on hand for this gala event.


“Blue Line Spirit” award for most times tripped by the blueline – ZDALDO
With feet the size of his heart, ZDALDO can be a formidable opponent for any forward. But when it comes to the one-on-one match with Z and BL … L O (look out).

“You’re my Heron” award for most toxic substances consumed prior to game time — Denny
Faster than a wood duck escaping 12-gauge fire, Denny is usually the one making people spin around and fall down. But one night Buddy Weiser put the brakes on Denny, who got “the spins” in the face off circle vs. the Continentals.

“Blow My Whistle” award for best referee … Bruce!
Bruce, obviously a goalie by trade, gets this award for best ref. Once the spring league video comes out you’ll see why. By the way, Bruce, get off your knees. You’re blowing the game.

“Duck Call” fan appreciation award — Booty.
It was a toss up between who brought more to the table this year between Jones and Booty. But, the powers that be, decided on Booty. He just has a louder more annoying voice than anybody but Pee Wee Herman. BTW – don’t know if Booty ever got caught whacking off in a theater, but it wouldn’t surprise us.

“Commissioner’s Cup” award for biggest complainer (cup = athletic cup) — Kleb, L.
Odds are, he’ll complain about this post, too.

“I got your back” award — Blackwood & 44 Wissy Waaaaa!
By “having your back” we mean drilling it with a crosscheck. Congrats, gents, on the first ever tie for an award.

And last but not least …

The “Lady Pussybear” award — Jive Turkey.
C’mon, man, strap on some balls and take your licks. It’s hockey. PS – The final game in spring league is not hockey. Well, most of it.

Carolina Residents Confused, Terrified As Victorious Hurricane Players Riot In Streets

Only hours after the Carolina Hurricanes won the NHL Championship Monday night in a hard-fought Game 7 against the Edmonton Oilers, North Carolina Gov. Michael Easley mobilized the National Guard to contain over two dozen members of what he described as "some sort of depraved, violent, heretofore unheard-of gang calling themselves as the Hurricanes."

Please let him know if you plan on attending and what food dish you are bringing. There will be swimming, Kensington horseshoes, and plenty of "innocent" fun. This year, Yashin is jumping off of the roof.

Ego Trip

Blogarithms: ‘Special’ kind of site

Arthur Etchells says he eats out at least five times a week.
“I’m not much of a cook,” he says over a beer at the Good Dog on 15th Street above Locust.
And how much beer does he down a month?
“I’d really rather not think about it,” he says, before taking another swig. “That’s one of those numbers you’re better off not calculating.”

The Legend Of Bill Barilko

Bill_Barilko.jpg
Although he was not noted for his offensive skills. Bill Barilko scored one of the most celebrated goals in NHL history during the 1951 Stanley Cup Finals between Toronto and Montreal. This series was the only championship final that required overtime in every contest. In game five, the extra session was nearly three minutes old when Barilko spotted a loose puck near the Montreal crease. He dove in from the blue line and fired a shot over Montreal goaltender Gerry McNeil's outstretched arm to give the Leafs the Cup. Unfortunately, it was the last goal of Barilko's career. He disappeared that summer on a fishing trip, and the Leafs didn't win another Cup until 1962, the year his body was found. (Pro Set Hockey card #340)

It was 44 years ago today that Bill Barilko's body was found.

70,000 Beer Cans Found in Ogden Townhouse

A seemingly unbelievable mess discovered last year in an Ogden townhouse has suddenly become an Internet legend.
It's all TRUE!
You know how some people, after they use something, just can't bear to throw it away. That might make sense if it's magazines or clothes. But what if it's empty beer cans? In astounding numbers?

051806news.jpgLorena Who? This woman used her bare hands to rip up her man's junk!

The Nicetown man said he had been sleeping peacefully in the couple's bed Tuesday night when his wife pounced on him without warning, grabbed his groin, dug her manicured fingernails in and flayed him, leaving his gore-slicked gonads dangling much lower than normal.
"She didn't use no weapon - this was just sheer brute strength and fingernails. She grabbed me by my [scrotum] and ripped it apart with her bare hands," Randolph said yesterday from his hospital bed at Albert Einstein Medical Center, where he was in stable condition with stitched and bandaged genitals. [...]
Talk about a strict violation of the penal code.
Howard Randolph said his wife tore "everything out of the sac and all the skin away."
Just the thought triggers most men to hunch over and wince, but Randolph said he felt "fine" yesterday thanks to the morphine that doctors administered.

Boozin in the City?

Any of you punk asses interested in boozing it up in the city this Saturday? Seems like a good idea to me.
I was thinking of hitting up Leo at Grace Tavern among other places. In other words, a typical Saturday for me. But hey, sometimes I like company.

This Week's Sign of the Apocolypse

You Got Juiced

In a scene from his new candid-camera program "Juiced," O.J. Simpson pulls a prank involving the infamous white Bronco, drawing criticism from the family of a man he was accused of killing.
As part of the pay-per-view show, Simpson pretends to sell the Bronco at a used car lot and boasts to a prospective buyer that he made the vehicle famous, according to a segment aired Thursday on "Inside Edition."
"It was good for me -- it helped me get away," Simpson said, referring to the slow-speed, televised police chase that preceded his 1994 arrest on charges of murdering his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman.

Cinco de Mayo

Did you think philadelphiarams.com would not be celebrating Cinco de Mayo today?
Did you expect some pinata graphic at the top of the page?
Maybe the Ram wearing a sombrero?
Or us to take off early, and start downing frozen margaritas till we get brain freeze? Well that was a possibility.
But no, there's only one way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo on philadelphiarams.com.
And that's some pictures of our favorite Mexican American....

Jessica Alba!
