That's Church

That actress that Benny isn’t dating, but that he’s totally dating, is interviewed in some magazine called Infamous.

Some quotes:

INF: What did you think of Pittsburgh?
MP: I like it there. I like it there a lot. It actually
reminds me of Vancouver. It’s really green,
there’s a lot of trees and very friendly there. I like
the people. I like that everything is about family
and you work hard there, and I appreciate that
for sure.

INF: What do athletes and actors have in
common?
MP: Not sure. I guess they have to do interviews.

If you can get past the sheer brilliance of her massive brain and all the big giant vocabulary she just dropped on you, she does love the Burgh and she does now claim to be a Steeler fan, and she’s sleeping with the Duke of Fug and the Earl of Gross, so that means looks are not that important to her. (rim shot)

I kind of like her now.

But I’m sure the minions hate her guts and are actively trying to make her go away.

1. Do you belong to the Church of St. Tomlin? I bet you don’t have to stand for four stinkin’ hours at the Church of St. Tomlin. (h/t Queen Bee)

2. I need this shirt. (h/t PGS)

3. This photographer is quite obsessed with the City of Pittsburgh and its gorgeous skyline. Simply some of the best work I’ve ever seen. My faves are here, here, here, and every single one of these. (Update: Site appears to be down for a bit. Keep trying.)

He’s also got some pictures of Bill Cowher’s house.

I’m warning you, if you don’t live here anymore, this site is going to make you super homesick.

4. Do you guys watch Dexter on Showtime? I don’t. This might have something to do with the fact that I don’t get Showtime. Maybe, maybe not.

If you watch it, then you’ll be interested in this email I got from Kate at Showtime:

Dexter, America’s Favorite Serial Killer returns September 30th at 9pm ET/PT on Showtime.

To celebrate, Showtime will be making a splashy scene in 14 US cities this Thursday. Meet us at PPG Place, Downtown to pick up your advance DVD with the first episode of Dexter season 2 and be sure to bring your camera to capture the scene. ­ It should be pretty colorful!

She tells me this is open to the public. I have no idea what’s actually going to happen there, but the words “splashy” and “colorful” make me think the PPG fountain will be involved and maybe some finger paints. I have no idea. Let me know.

4. Luke sent out an invite to the community to join “me” for a discussion on the new casino. “Me” as in Lukey, not “me” as in PittGirl. Anyway, “me” didn’t show up for the meeting because he was in Boston for a previously planned engagement. So I’m just letting you know that Lukey pissed some more people off.

I think Lukey needs a new desk nameplate:

Taking advantage of the city’s 250th anniversary celebration, government officials, corporate sponsors and community groups kicked off Pittsburgh 250 & Fit, an initiative with the goal of getting 250,000 southwestern Pennsylvania residents to commit to regular exercise.

Kingdom played a brisk game of dodge ball with a group of teens and other volunteers on the Roberto Clemente Bridge, moments before today’s kickoff news conference.

Dodge ball on the Roberto Clemente Bridge?  Hell, yes.

I’m a big believer that dodge ball rocks and those schools that are banning dodge ball are taking away a very important life lesson for the children of America, and that life lesson is this: sometimes in life you’re going to get smacked in the face with a big red rubber ball.  Duck.

And poor, poor Vikram:

It’s not so much that he’s “a split second away from being hit and eliminated,” it’s more that he’s a split second away from permanent falsetto because his elimination clearly happened with a missil-ified dodgeball to the huevos.

I hope he’s wearing a cup.

1.  The PG’s Tim McNulty loses Steelers tickets because he threw them away thinking they were junk mail and GOES TO A DUMPSTER AND ACTUALLY FINDS THEM!

God loves Tim McNulty.

I love Tim McNulty for making me laugh, particularly that last paragraph.

And let’s be honest.  How many of us would spend a day or two in a dumpster looking for lost Steelers tickets?

2.   Benny is scaring the kids:

3.   Some more people that deserve to die, immediately.

When a nearby fire threatened their mobile home, a Beaver County couple rescued their dogs and marijuana, but left behind a 4-year-old boy, authorities said.

It’s a good thing I’m not God, because if I was, people would just be bursting into flames left and right.  I’ve got no tolerance for this shit.

Cowboys fan?  Flames.

Saving drugs before your kid? Flames.

Pigeons? GIANT FLAMES OF HELL!

Okay, reader Father Spoon, whose ass I kicked in Week 1 of Fantasy Football (at least that’s how it went down in MY reality), emailed me:

Damn girl, Randy at DVE loves you! he went on about your site for quite awhile this morning around 8:40am.

I listened to DVE the entire way to work this morning until I got to the overpriced, thieving parking garage at 7:45 a.m. and flipped off the machine that spit me out my ticket that is going to cost me over a dozen dollars because I couldn’t get my tired ass out of bed this morning because I stayed up so late last night trying to get caught up with my Tivo that is currently holding all of my free time hostage, and how much does that new show “The Big Bang Theory” rock, and …

Whoa!  Where did I just go?  ANYWAY …

I missed this.

Who’s going to fill me in on what Randy Baumann said about The Burgh Blog?

My giant ego demands it.  Does he love me as much as Sonni and Jim Lokay do?

Does he know David Conrad?  Does David Conrad talk about me all the time?  Does David Conrad want to meet for coffee and then maybe check out the Sewage Open House?

ANSWERS?!
