Tuesday, February 9th, 2010Oh, that’s just fantastic. Do you hear that, everyone? Reading this blog is now officially hazardous to your health. Of course, by the same token work, baseball, and any film starring Zach Braff are also hazardous to your health. The irony of this story is that scientists – usually regarded as the most boring of [...]
Happy Birthday, Erik!
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010The Earp Birthday Week continues. Today is my son Erik’s 6th birthday, and he will most likely be celebrating by jumping off the roof into a snow pile. You see, Erik is Unbreakable. He’s been seeking out adventure since he started walking. When he was two, he begged me to throw him in the air [...]
Keeping Abreast Of The Elections
Monday, February 8th, 2010You know, most American protesters are dirty, filthy hippies who have so many platforms that they can never stay on point. Perhaps they could take a page from the Ukrainian group Femen, who unsheathed their cans to make a point about political freedoms. Now this is a protest I can get behind . . . [...]
Congratulations To The Saints!
Monday, February 8th, 2010They truly earned this Super Bowl win by beating a phenomenal team. And as an added bonus, they secured an NFL championship before the Philadelphia Eagles. Bawahahahahahahaha!!! Now in all fairness, I did not want to Saints to win. I think I made that perfectly clear. The last thing I wanted to hear about was [...]
Happy Birthday, Mrs. Earp!
Monday, February 8th, 2010Today is my wife’s um, 30-ish birthday. Being a terrific husband, I do not have her present yet. The snowstorm put a crimp in my plans, and since she wants a new digital camera, I need her to tell me which one is the one for really loves. (Yeah, I’m an idiot.) So, I’ll be [...]
The Birdcage
Sunday, February 7th, 2010After a full month break, Monkey and Bird is back gracing SYLG with its humor. Locally written and illustrated, it is distributed by CO2 comics, and pimped by yours truly. I know the talent behind the copy, and trust me when I tell you they’re good people. Please check out the newest installment by clicking [...]
Bulls**t In A China Shop
Sunday, February 7th, 2010Hey, who wants to buy some Chinese imports . . . cheap? What, no takers? You folks have a problem with lead in your kids’ toys? You sound like the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the folks who just issued recalls of Chinese-made clothing and toys. Bunch of Nervous Nellies if you ask me, since the [...]
Amanda Seyfried: Celebrity Groundhog
Sunday, February 7th, 2010Apparently the actress’ breasts can predict the weather: Amanda Seyfried showed her sense of humor when she predicted the impending New York snowfall Thursday night. Seyfried and her “Dear John” costar Channing Tatum were doing a Q&A at the Soho Apple store. As Seyfried’s first big role was Karen in 2004′s “Mean Girls,” who believed [...]
Look, It’s The Rocketeer!
Saturday, February 6th, 2010Philadelphia is getting hit pretty hard with a major snowstorm today, and while the shoveling will suck, at least I have an entire day off to do it. I can’t say for sure if I will be able to make another snowboarding course for the boys out front, but I’m sure gonna try. I can, [...]
Baltimore Weatherman Loses It
Saturday, February 6th, 2010In honor of the brutal snowstorm that is pummeling Philadelphia today – we already have at least 18 inches of global warming on the ground – I give you this . . . Dude. Sit down, relax, and have a Fresca. We’ll get through this. UPDATE: The semi-official tally is 26 inches. I shoveled my [...]
