In case you've been forced to attend a Halloween weekend party and don't want to be the 100th person to walk in with plastic teeth and a friggin' cape, here are two last-minute Philly-flavored costume ideas for you.

For the guys:
Naked Zorro- All you need is a mask, a cape and some Chuck Taylors to pull off this Doylestown antihero costume. No teeth, no sword, no clothes necessary.

For the gals:
Lil' Kim- Take a few empty paper towel rolls and bind them together ala prison bars, then past something over one of your nipples...and voila.

...or you can not show up and say you went as the Eagles' running game, a SEPTA worker, etc.

One of my new favorite things to watch and re-watch (like some sort of chromosome damaged chimp) is the 1974 television special “Free to Be You and Me.” I simply can't get enough of this goofy little excursion into hippie era kitsch.
Based upon the Marlo Thomas record of the same name, “Free to Be You and Me” was an overly earnest attempt to teach kids that it's okay to cry or, if you're a boy, it's more than fine to carry a doll around.
That’s great in theory, but not every kid is going to care what Marlo Thomas has to say about hugging a Rainbow Bright doll in the schoolyard while receiving a flurry of punches from fellow classmates.

Great place to hang out in Doylestown is Stephanie's. Great bartenders, 36 beers on tap
65 martini's and Live Music on the weekends. NO COVER. Thursday nite they have
DJ Marcelle there he plays all over the city and Manayunk. He's great.
Once again no cover and they have drink specials all nite. Tuesday's they have
Texas Hold'em, you have to try this place. We all have a blast.
Oh yeah if your in the biz like I am they have SIN NITE on Wed. (service industry nite)
for those of you who don't know. Show them a pay stub and get drink specials and a
bite to eat on the house. Great Place.

New-fangled Halloween accessories

Are you looking to sharpen your look this Halloween?
Wraith, Philadelphia’s Dentist of the Underworld, offers a solution: custom-made, custom-fit, dental acrylic fangs, which he has been applying to customers every Saturday in October at Passional Boutique (704 South 5th St. in Philadelphia).
Not just for Halloween, the fangs are easy to apply and remove and are, most importantly, very real.

First Phils set-up man/potential closer Ugueth Urbina is spoken to by Venezuelan police in regard to a machete attack (and subsequent human body roast) and now phillyBurbs Blogger Dave Ralis has potentially unearthed what would be the mother of all controversies for the Fightins.
An eBay seller claimed to have a "corked" Jim Thome bat, which sold Sunday for $210.
Thome a corker?
eGad!

It's been months since somebody produced an uncompromising drama that rips the lid off of suburban family life. If somebody doesn't put car-ports and soccer moms in their place right now nobody will for at least a week or two. So, to tide you over I've decided to show you an excerpt from my gritty, unflinching yet strangely unproduced screenplay, "At Home with the Martins."

After finding out that their oldest son has shoulder length hair, Eli and Julie Martin visit a mutual friend, Alva Vandervox, at the high school where he works as principal. As Alva cleans up after a particularly violent student demonstration, Julie and Eli enter...

While the weather forecast for tonight and tomorrow looks bleak at best, it should stay dry indoors at World Cafe Live (3025 Walnut St. Philadelphia 215.222.1400) where former Guns 'N Roses and Primus guitarist Buckethead is scheduled to play Tuesday (10/25) at 7:30 p.m. The oft-KFC bucket wearing axe man is set to deliver tracks from his latest release, the extra crispy "Enter The Chicken" which was produced by System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian.
