Yum-Yum Donuts are great...if the robbers know this they took donuts too.
Police are great for looking for donuts so if the robbers took some than they should be caught within a week by nose sneefing donut policemen.
[ ] The Flyers rally originally scheduled for outside City Hall in Philadelphia is now slated for Mayor’s Reception Room 202 at noon today. Game Three is tomorrow at the Wachovia Center. Flyers are down 0-2 to the Penguins in the best-of-seven series.
From Friday’s release:
Mayor Michael Nutter joins Philadelphia Flyers Alumni and hordes of the most intimidating fans in America for a massive pep rally for the Flyers. As part of the festivities, fans at City Hall will enjoy free McDonald’s fries, Flyers face painting, and free Flyers giveaways.
Mayor Nutter will also provide additional feedback on his bet with Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl. The terms of the bet include the losing Mayor wearing the winning team’s jersey for a day while hanging their banner at City Hall. Next season, the losing Mayor will drop the ceremonial puck at a home game of the winning team while wearing the home team’s jersey.
The Flyers Delta Dental Ice Girls and the Fan Patrol will join Flyers fans for the city-wide pep rally and Modell’s Sporting Goods will add a 20-foot inflatable Flyers jersey.
Four things:
1- We’re going to assume the move inside is weather related and not just because two losses caused everyone to leap from the bandwagon.
2- Nothing quite soothes an “intimidating horde” like fries, face painting and a really big inflatable jersey.
3- Delta Dental Ice Girls? Really? /sighs well, better than Dental Dam Ice Girls.
4- Mayor of Pittsburgh has a hockey player’s name. Ravenstahl shoots…He SCORES!!!...We may be screwed, kids.
[ ] Some high schools churn out point guards, linebackers, engineers, ballet dancers…Central Bucks turns outs poets. (Intelligencer)
From the story:
Every year for the last 21 years, one talented high school poet has been named Bucks County's high school poet of the year.
And four of the last eight winners have been from Central Bucks.
Including the eight winners, 47 students have been recognized in the competition in the last eight years and 33 of them have been from Central Bucks. …
The judges aren't from Central Bucks, though one of this year's judges was a retired Central Bucks English teacher. Even if they were, it wouldn't matter because they judge the students' entries — three poems — blindly.
And they don't receive any more entries from Central Bucks than they receive from other schools.
Yet, something special has been happening.
Wow…James Michener and Pearl S. Buck must be proud. And dead.
[ ] Former SNL guy Jimmy Fallon will replace Conan O’Brien on NBC’s Late Night when O’Brien replaces Jay Leno on the Tonight show. (AP)
Philly EDGE assumes that Seth Myers will then replace Fallon as the former SNL guy who is increasingly irrelevant.
