...randomness surrounding Guided by Voices, Robert Pollard, and other great indie rock bands; a quasi objective look at "my" sporting teams; the random horror film; plus other crap as we see fit...all with a Pittsburgh based feel.

Revenge Of the Nerds - Warhol Screening
Tonight at the Warhol - a 7:00 screening of an original print of 1984's Revenge Of the Nerds. The coolest part: Curtis Armstrong (aka: "Booger") will be there to introduce the film and do a Q & A afterwards.
Easily my favorite scene from the film, a speech I like to use on special occasions...

Tonight like a bastard
A lot of talk in Pittsburgh today as to whether or not this is still a rivalry. The Sid vs. Ovie debate is dead in the water. Actually, Pascal Dupuis (7g 13a) vs. Ovechkin (8g 10a) may be the newer and more fair debate.
That said, this is still a rivalry between the 2 organizations. And we always get jackt for it. The hiring of that dick Dale Hunter should even make it more interesting.
No Tanger again. Simon Despres gets the big club call up. Let's do it.

Sheriff Shanahan
Pacioretty gets 3 games. Letang, meanwhile, is heading back to Pittsburgh for "further evaluation." So much for that "having our entire team healthy" thingy. It was fun while it lasted for 4 games.
.
Empties Crushed concurs.
Some circles have poked fun at Shanahan and his demeanor in these videos. And that's cool. But we kinda like the new system and "Department of Player Safety." He may not always get it right, but at least he's explaining the thought process. And that's better than Colin Campbell's goonish response, which was always:
"What do you know?! You never played HOCKEY."

Stillers win, but are lame in doing so.
What a shitfest of a game. Can't believe I passed up the season finale of The Walking Dead for this. I hate Sunday Night Football. Steelers were a play away from losing to the worst NFL team ever. If Dwayne Bowe had arms, they might have.
Pens stun Habs
taken from Pensblog (awesome)
Kris Letang gets his head taken off and nose smashed by a completely legal head crunch from Max Pacioretty. He returns for the OT to get the game winner. Stud. Too bad he can never win the Norris Trophy since Niklas Lidstrom still exists.
Stupéfait...
young Sidney Crosby hater...
Nick Foligno wants to make out with your goalie
Not sure who's more irrelevant, Nick Foligno or the Senators. Pens got back to kicking ass on Friday, taking down the Sens 6-3. #87 had 3 assists without even trying. Staal's a beast. Malkin's a beast. Gonchar was there. Konopka dropped a turd on the ice. Foligno accidentally tripped over Fleury 9 times. Sid elbows Foligno.
That's some brutal shit right there. So Brian Murray chirped, and slobbered, and whined...
A lot of hot air there mixed in with the spit, but to summarize: "Refs sucked and we're gonna dress Neil and Carkner next time because I hate Crosby." How do you know when nobody cares? When you have to beg a hoard of reporters to ask you a question.

ESPN utilizes the ear muffs, bleeps the "FCKYA"
harking back on Sid's first game back, ESPN is concerned about your kid's sensitive ears eyes.
FCKYA! Think I actually heard some folk criticizing the Sid for this verbal reaction, one that is pretty common for him.
We made it to our first game of the year last Wednesday, and unfortunately, there weren't enough FCKYA's in Sid's 2nd game of the year. Puffy Ken Hitchcock (the original "Sid dives" whiner guy) has his new Blues team playing pretty good pucks. Our Pens lost and we were sad. So we boozed.

Harbaugh vs. Harbaugh
catching up on the last week...
This must've been an exhilarating NFL game on Thanksgiving night. We didn't see it, but word on the streets:
Douche beat Dick by a final score of 16-6. Ray Ray probably danced and forced some shit in front of the cameras.

All is right in the world again. Sid's back.
Your captain returns tonight, kids.
The Pens insist there was no set date for 87's return, and it was simply a matter of doctor's clearance. We want to think this is the big F.U. to that dick Garth Snow. Yeah...remember last spring when the Islanders and their fans thought they were relevant for a couple of days?
One of the best teams in the NHL just got the best player in the world back. Meanwhile, the Isles are back in their normal position in the standings...the bottom of the barrel. This is an organization that wanted to celebrate their fight filled / cheap shot affair with Pens last spring, which kinda supports the league-wide theory that they are a joke. A peak at the Isles current roster shows that some of the neanderthals that took part in the thuggery aren't even around anymore. Zenon Konopka was exiled to Ottawa. Michael Haley is flipping burgers at Wendy's. And Trevor Gillies was deemed worthless and subsequently waived last month. But with a dildo like Snow at the helm, nothing would surprise. The Isles may have some other animals laying in the weeds. Let's hope Bylsma dresses Steve MacIntyre tonight just in case.
Just read over at Pensblog that Zibby Michalek is back tonight, too?!?!
Our first fully healthy roster since the beginning of time?!?!?!?
The NHL's collective bum just puckered.

3 Points!! (John Terry stunned)
I love my Glen Johnson. A HUGE 3 points at Stamford Bridge. No...it's doesn't mean we'll win a title. But if you said in August that beating Arsenal and Chelsea on the road would help secure a Champions League spot, you probably weren't factoring in home draws to Norwich and Swansea. The latter sucks. But beating Chelsea today in the 87th minute was a glorious triumph.
Roman Abramovich doesn't own Chelsea. King Kenny does. 9-0-3 career record for the King against those wanker Blues.
btw: Andy Carroll was a waste of 35 million lbs. But at least it's still a net gain of 15 million from the more expensive waste of Fernando Torres.
Next Week: MAN SHITTY comes to Anfield for another 11am-er on Sunday FSC. Man U supporters are welcome.
