E-Street.... LEGOS!!!!

This is sad.. but sooooo funny

Fatboy can dance TWO!

Fatboy can dance!

Here is what the Brits think of Scranton.....

I couldn't agree more....

The American Office is back on American TV. And all the Americans I know are rabbiting on about how it's the greatest show on TV ever.

It clearly isn't. Not when Star Stories is on BBC America. But you can see why they're excited. The Office deals with race and alienation and the sheer banality of everyday life in a way that is truly revolutionary for the American sitcom. And this excites a certain part of America greatly.

This year saw the second Office convention in Scranton - the boring town in northeast Pennsylvania that stands in for the Brit original's Slough (even though it's actually shot in California.)

Scranton has also become the new Peoria - the legendary political litmus test for the US presidential election. It came to prominence during the primaries as Hilary Clinton's (sorta) hometown. Turns out that Democratic vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden is also (kinda) from Scranton.

And so - with grim inevitability - "hard scrabble" Scranton changed from a boring shithole that nobody cared about, into a marvelous microcosm of authentic, blue collar, domestic beer drinking, "hard working" America; and was namechecked by Democrats and Republicans alike as exactly the sort of economically-depressed, white, working class dump Obama has to win to have any chance of becoming president.

Offense was offensive.. so were the Eagles fans

I reluctantly made the trip to Lincoln Obnoxious Field on Sunday to take in the Steelers-Eagles game.

Much of the reason I took the trip was the fact that I ended up in the Verizon Luxury Box with the Honorable Jim Wansacz. It was safe in there.

It wasn't safe in the stadium though.

Exhibit A: Doc Mando and Iron Mike Lettieri sat in the lower level in what would be considered club seats at Heinz. The dynamic duo were not knadily clad in jerseys. Heck. Doc Beeper didnt even have a jersey or any Steeler garb on. Yet they needed to call security at some point of the game.

Exhibit B: Dave Barbetti was with the Frican Rican and his son, Frican Rican Jr. who were both Eagles fans. That trio was in the lower level of the endzone and Barbetti felt the rath. It didn't help that he had his own personalized Steelers jersey on, but that is still no reason to be abused. Especially if you are not acting like an idiot.

I must say the Eagles fans I tailgated with were great. The boys from VV were very friendly and didn't bust balls once. Not even after the game. They even stuck up for the honorable and I when a few Eagles fans walking by tried to goad us into a confrontation.

So I say good riddance Philadelphia Phootball. Maybe its bad karma why you do not have any Super Bowl titles. Your fans are JERKS, so you have no RINGS!
