That's Church

Boy, and I thought KDKA was being an ass to Jim Lokay.

That’s nothing to what they’re doing to that cutie Jeff Verszyla.

Why not just compare him to Gollum?

Random stuff from my inbox:

1.  Is it really animal cruelty if it is being cruel to pigeons?  I think not.  No other animal has ever dive bombed me, pecked me, and pooped on my shoulder.  If you think I’m making the pooping part up, just ask the homeless man who witnessed it and laughed his ass off at me. Sometimes, it’s okay to kick a homeless person while they’re down.  (cityworker)

2.  Yappin Yinzers.  You’re either going to love ‘em or be highly offended by ‘em.  I’d pay good money for one of these in the form of Ben Roethlisberger wearing a Drink Like a Champion shirt and when you push his belly he says things like, “Ow.  My thumb hurts.”  (Toni)

3.  Deadspin has a pretty unusual sign sighting at a Penguins game.  Somebody want to explain it to me?  (DW)

Peter Leo’s Morning File in Friday’s Post-Gazette was all about shopping carts and contains this little gem:

After you read this item, you might think twice about putting food in a shopping cart. Turns out they are filthier than public washrooms, which at least get cleaned regularly, The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported last year. University of Arizona researchers tested 1,100 public surfaces for germs. Shopping cart handles turned out to be among the dirtiest — after children’s playground equipment and public bus rails and armrests. About half of shopping cart handles weren’t frequently cleaned, the study said. Twenty-one percent tested positive for bodily fluids. Enjoy your breakfast.

Let’s all ponder a bit on how body fluid ends up on something other than the insides of our bodies.

Let’s all try not to puke on our monitors.

If you’re looking for me, I’ll be the hot chick walking everywhere with hand sanitizer in my belt, latex gloves on my hands, a can of Lysol in my purse, and my hands perpetually raised in the “I just scrubbed my hands” surgeon pose.

Hat tip to reader Toni.

No posting yesterday because PittGirl had the day off and spent it with another of my awesome sisters, this one in town from Texas. PittGirl’s sisters rock.

Reader Cate, who spells her name way cool, wrote:

so, the crappy jim carrey movie “the number 23″ has a reliably crappy PR scheme. they find moments of 23 coming up in the news andthen send out releases. lame, sure…but i didn’t fully appreciate the crassness until they sent out the story about the poor baby girl being left to freeze by her father here in the burgh. why? because she was 23 months old. a tragedy being used to get us to a movie that will most likely be an abomination before god.

Here’s the link from Defamer.

Here’s me hoping I don’t die in the next week of anything or any day or any way related to the number 23.
