I love Tuesday. I love Tuesday because that’s the day the new Cat’s Call appears in the PG. Why do I eagerly await her advice every week? Because she kicks ass. She picks questions that make the questioner look like a jerk, then calls them on being a jerk. Other advice columns are full of [...]

Last weekend Mr. TR and I helped our Pittsburgh Friends (our buddies from the ‘Burgh with whom we congregate to watch games, drink beer, and tell inside jokes) move into a new apartment. They have about a fifth the crap that we have, and they moved about two miles, and it was terrible. This has [...]

Ugh. Just ugh. Where to start? The four interceptions? The injuries? The continued lack of performance of the offensive line? Oh wait, I know. The safety.
Why? Someone please, honor us with an explanation of why James Harrison was snapping the ball for that punt-gone-horribly-horribly wrong. We have a center. We actually have more than one, [...]

Vote here in the National Aviary’s presidential election. Penguin ‘08!
How did I not already know about the Post-Gazette’s YouTube channel? You can see all the local “Scary Shorts” submissions, which are hilarious, I mean spooky.

Mr. TR comes home to find his wife propped up in bed covered in pets watching Flashdance instead of the World Series. The following conversation ensues:

Me: I’m doing research.
Him: Uh, for what?
Me: My blog.
Him: When did you get a blog?
Me: Wednesday.
Him: Oh. [beat] Can we watch baseball?
Lots of shots of things we recognize, [...]

DUMBASS.
Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Santonio Holmes will reportedly be mailed a summons by police who say they found marijuana-filled cigars known as blunts in his car during a traffic stop.
Police say the 24-year-old, third-year player, didn’t have his license when police stopped him Thursday around 4 p.m. near Mellon Arena.

Ms. TR is a baseball fan. I mean, a Baseball Fan. I keep score by hand and explain the infield fly rule to my friends that don’t care. I’ve gone to games alone on the way home from work when Mr. TR had to work late. Furthermore, I am a Pirates fan. Because no girl [...]
Charming Pittsburgh-oriented media #1: Who’s the best cop now?!
Posted in Pittsburgh Media, tagged Pittsburgh shout-outs, PPD on October 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Gleefully watching movies or television filmed in the ‘Burgh and exclaiming, “OMG, look, it’s that floral shop we like!” every 90 seconds is my least productive hobby. It’s a good hobby, one that I shall inflict on you. I figure I might as well start right out of the gate with the crown jewel of [...]
