[ ]    Here’s a quick plea to get you to vote for former Philly EDGE cover model Amber Stratton at College Mansion.com.  There are other Philly-area girls involved in the 2008 Mansion Madness hottest college girl contest as well (Briana and Christy), but they were never on our cover.

        

   AAARGH! Madness overkill!!! …sigh….Philly EDGE worries that one day everything will be decided by bracket format tournaments and that if it comes down to the Best Condiment, far too many people like ketchup more than mustard…. And we really like mustard.

        We mean haha funny, not funny like this guy.

        Since we’re talking funny business, we wouldn’t be at all surprised to see Emily Murphy of Pottstown show up on the Helium stage one of these days. The George Washington University student is part of the school’s comedy team that will compete next Wednesday in the semi-finals of the RooftopComedy First Annual National College Comedy Competition.

 "I'm just trying to keep my focus these days," says Murphy, 20, who was also recently named one of D.C.'s funniest college students in another competition. For her Rooftop performance she had to cut her five-minute routine down to three, "which wasn't easy!"

 

Murphy, a member of GW's improvisational comedy group Recess, says her parents actually are happy about her budding career as a stand-up comic.

 

"I want to go in the Peace Corps, but my dad says I'm going to New York and Hollywood instead," she says.
