“Burgher” apologizes.

Okay, jam961 – I won’t “flame” you, but I don’t believe you are someone other than Wendy Bell. Especially with the “what you see is what you get” comment. You used it in your diatribe to The Burgh Blog (which is, apparently, a widely-read blog, my apologies to “PittGirl”).
On another Wendy note, Ashley DiParlo did a story on face recognition/celebrity matching and determined that Wendy Bell looked like:

Um? No. And the sad part is, I don’t know if that is an insult to Wendy or an insult to Pam.
It got me curious. Who does PittGirl most resemble?

Before you all flip out … that photo on the left is NOT me. That is the person I am said to most resemble … some actress/model from Thailand. And of course, we all know Carrie Ann Moss of the Matrix movies … that’s my number two.
Eh, it could be worse. It could have pulled up Paris Hilton or Britney Freakin’ Spears.
Anyways, “Burgher” you are forgiven, and this post went from Monroeville to Cranberry by way of Latrobe, didn’t it?
Dear Mayor O’Connor:

Holy shit! You are not joking around are you??!
Just yesterday I see this image on the news thanks to Anthony:

Then suddenly this morning, you go and fire every face on the operational side?
Wowee! You certainly are in charge my friend.
My guess? Those three were the ones that were telling the media about the power struggle, forcing Dick Skrinjar, Your Chief of Making Shit Up, to defend the administration, so you swung the mace and took out three staffers with one fell swoop and replaced them with loyal political allies.
OR, Dick Skrinjar, Your Chief of Making Shit Up, who is on the opposite side of these three, made some shit up and managed to get them fired.
Mayor, I swear this morning I was going to write you a letter telling you to please just go ahead and appoint a deputy mayor so this power struggle can be contained and you can focus on getting better. But then you go and do this, so I’d like to say … Get on with your bad self baby!
Wow! BJ Leber gone. Think WQED will take her back?
Peace and good wishes,
PittGirl
Dearest Trib,

In today’s day and age of sound bite media where often the details are lost or forgotten, I want to say THANK YOU for taking the time to point out to us that in this photo taken in Slippery Rock …

that American Idol contestant Elliott Yamin (still fug) is in fact the male individual signing shirts. At first I thought maybe it was the girl whose shirt is being signed, but Elliott is generally a boy’s name, so then I said, Oh! It must be that blurry dude in the background. That caption totally cleared things up for me. Thanks again!
Would it be odd of PittGirl …

… to purchase ALL the Rolling Rock she can find prior to the weekend and stash it in her house and hopefully make it last for say … a lifetime?
Then when I have company over or something, I can make a determination if that person is “33-worthy” … a la Elaine and “Sponge-worthy.”
Hmmm. Must go ponder on that. How long does bottled beer last in storage before it tastes like shit? Because if it is going to taste like shit, I might as well just buy the shit they’ll be bottling in Jersey. Ugh.

Awesome reader Leila gave me the heads up on what promises to overtake the PG as the most visited website in Pittsburgh … pittsburghpublicnudity.com (currently, a totally safe for work link)!
They are looking specifically for the following:
Share your photos, of you outdoors in the nude, in the Pittsburgh area!
The problem is, and I say this with a lot of love, that Pittsburgh is not exactly the most physically fit, attractive city in the world, and on top of that, unattractive, out of shape Burghers are usually those same Burghers that fancy themselves attractive and physically fit and are most likely to pose nude in public.
So the next time you see some overweight, big-haired, frosted blonde, mother of 12 taking her tank top and spandex off on the Mt. Washington overlook or flashing her boobs on the Thunderbolt, you’ll know what she’s up to …
No good. No good at all.
