A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. Another unique and fascinating website, London Bananas features pictures of discarded banana skins found throughout the city of London. (Via Sarah) PC Magazine lists the top 100 undiscovered websites of 2008. (Via Scott) Dude was fishing with his granddaughter recently in a private pond in North Carolina when she gave him her Barbie-branded rod and reel to hold while she went to the......

Phillyist likes supporting good causes, and you can’t get a better cause than breasts. Our lip service pales in comparison, though, to the efforts of five local women, who are raising money to participate in 2008 Philadelphia Breast Cancer 3-Day this October. Each walker must raise $2,200 to take part in the 60-mile trek, and the women, collectively known as Team Bosom Babes, are turning to a time-honored Philly tradition to meet their goal: the......

Dear La Petite Mort, Why is it so enjoyable to motorboat an exquisite pair of boobies? I dont know the answer, but perhaps you do. Either way, i shall continue to motorboat. — Johnny Brumsky [sic] Dear John, Not quite sure why it's such excellent times. Perhaps you are flashing back to your infancy, when you were a wee lad and your mother's breasts loomed over you like giant hot air balloons. You wanted to......

Back in Middle School, I was all about competing in speech tournaments. One of my favorite events? Readers' Theatre. One of the scripts that my middle school used for Readers' Theatre? Greater Tuna. Not in its entirety, of course. Readers' Theatre, according to the rules we went by at least, could only be ten minutes long. Also, it probably wouldn't do for a bunch of twelve-year-olds to talk about cross-dressing, animal poisoning, and philanderers. What......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. Just how creepy and weird is Alan Moore, famous comic book author and part-time wizard? Allow his friend Neil Gaiman to explain, in comic form. It appears to be official: James McAvoy will play Scotty in the new Star Trek movie. Which we think means we've got a real Russian playing Chekhov and a real Scotsman playing Scotty. What is Star......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. What was originally going to be a bongos-controller racing game for the GameCube is now coming to Wii with the title DK Bongo Blast, and it'll be controlled using the Wii Remote and Nunchuck. Sadly, it doesn't have a US release date yet (they get it in Japan on June 28, those lucky bastards), but in the meantime,......

...Exits: After all the guff with The Don, we're not exactly surprised. (Via People.) ...Fatherhood: What? You mean that your father never left you a voicemail like that? (Via The Superficial.) ...Stepford Wives: Joey Potter, where are you? (Via What Would Tyler Durden Do?) ...Smart Career Moves: Well, at least it'll be slightly less skeevy when he asks photographers to focus on her breasts. (Via New York Daily News.) ...Maturity: We hope that someday, our......

Films: Zoo, VHS - Kahloucha, Viva Future Screenings: Zoo: No future screenings scheduled VHS - Kahloucha: No future screenings scheduled Viva: No future screenings scheduled I was overly-ambitious this weekend, and eventually traded sleep (and a glass or two of vino) for films. Did I miss out on some stellar movies? Probably. Do I regret it? No: sometimes, it's nice to not be sitting alone in a darkened room. Zoo I'm not actually entirely sure......

Spring is when we get busy here in the Ist-A-Verse. Very busy. But, after staying bundled-up indoors all winter, it's nice for us to be out, about, and collecting things to write about for you. Here's a glimpse at what's been keeping your favorite citybloggers busily away from home and out of bed. For LAist, strong winds attacked LA on the same day the Feds raided the Crips. Not to fear, though: the Japanese version......

I live alone, so I end up with leftovers all the time. And in order to preserve leftovers (because I usually can't eat them all right away), I've been known to freeze them. For exorbitantly long periods of time. (I definitely just made margaritas with some frozen mango chunks I bought a year ago.) Sometimes, they live in the freezer for a while because I forget about them: more often, I'm saving them for when......

Okay, maybe not really Greek. My version of Greek. Because I'm not Greek. That's a lie, actually: somewhere far down the family tree, there are Greeks on my maternal grandmother's side of the family. But I didn't learn Greek cooking from them. So I just try to replicate and/or improve on Greek food I get in restaurants. I've made this recipe a few times, and I change it every time I do. What you......

...Cry-Baby: Umm... They ain't your personal belongings if they don't belong to you! (Via The Superficial.) ...That's Hot: Paris Hilton has no place on this planet. Also, this video proves that she's not really singing on her album. And nobody looks good in night vision. (Via What Would Tyler Durden Do?) ...Mourning: Our opinion of Angelina Jolie goes back and forth, but we are sad to hear this. (Via CNN.) ...Snub: Well... it at least......

No, this is not a post about love in automobiles. It’s about men in automobiles, and the dumbass things they yell: “Heyyyy beautiful!” “Damn, you’re fine!” “Nice tits!” The list goes on. One could assume they do this to find some form of love, but that is a notion I just can’t accept. I mean, I generally go, “Why? Just why?” when men on the street yell anything at me (do they actually think I’m......

To the construction crews that I encounter daily on my walk to work: Don’t you, like, have jobs to do? It doesn’t matter what time I’m walking to work. Could be the usual nine a.m. Could be as early as seven. Could be as late as noon. You are always on break. I know, I know, union regulations and all. But seriously? No wonder that construction and renovations in Philadelphia take so goddamned long. You......

Cinco de Mayo is not the Mexican Fourth of July. It's the commemoration of a battle won against unusual odds -- the French outnumbered the Mexicans by 100% -- but the Mexicans ended up losing the war, so they usually kind of forget about the holiday. Not us Americans, though! Just like St. Patrick's Day, one country's history of oppression is our chance to get drunk and obnoxious and wear funny hats. Of course,......

Our friends at Parisist get the lead today, because they wrote to let us know that they're still alive. We're glad, Parisist; we were really worried! Stay safe! Parisist wishes to inform you that there is no civil war in France. DCist: The Chinese are trying to make commies out of us all, and they're using pandas to do it. Houstonist: "Man gets really attached to bus, threatens driver." Ha. Bostonist: Mmm... bacon! Seattlest: Do......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. Wired News has an interesting and kind of creepy article on the growing buzz and controversy surrounding artistic body implants. We're not talking about fake breasts here now; we're talking about jamming pretty much any sized or shaped chunk of silicone under your skin anywhere on your body (see above, or check out the link for more pictures). The way it works is,......

Philly Future (by way of the smedly log) lets us know that Reality TV show Survivor is holding a casting call this Thursday at the CBS 3 studios at 5th and Market. Ex-American Idol wanna-bes, and now this.  Can we take this much reality? Is Philadelphia the new Silicon Valley?  We only ask because we came across a pair of breast implant-related posts yesterdays. First, D-Mac tipped us off about the Borgata sexual harasment case......

To the guy at the gym who doesn't shelve his weights: Hi. Remember us? We were waiting for you to finish your tenth set of reps the other day. We’re small – perhaps we escaped your line of site. So small, in fact, that we couldn't possibly have lifted a fraction of what you were lifting. And we couldn't work out when you were done because we couldn't even put your weights away. Yeah, us.......

This week, Return to Sender and Phillial team up to give the men of Philadelphia the hand they so desperately need. To the men of Philadelphia: We do not want to date you. It isn't because we have a crush on that cute boy we've been hanging out with, even though we don't think he wants us to date you either. It's because you, the collective men of Philadelphia, appall us. We like to have......

By Daniel J. Linehan Even since Phillyist went to the Found Footage Festival last Saturday, we can’t stop wondering about Wayne Brian Meyer. Wondering, and giggling. See, Meyer hosts a show on Wisconsin cable access television, apparently for the sole purpose of expressing his tremendous amount of inchoate rage. Even before he warns that he will be “ordering people to DROP DEAD in the name of Jesus,” his glaring, hulking, be-flanneled form tells you that......

Dear Philadelphians: Please cover yourselves. We know it’s hot out. But here’s the thing. Philadelphia is ranked as the third fattest city in the United States, according to Men’s Fitness Magazine. This isn’t something to be proud of – and it’s certainly not something to show off. So we can’t figure out why you’re out every summer in your shortest shorts, your tightest miniskirts, your lowest-hanging tube tops, and your stretchiest t-shirts. Like it or......

The Cranky Cocktail finds it interesting that the recipe of his that has garnered the most attention hasn't been one of his delicious drinks, but rather the offhand reference to his preferred post-debauch breakfast. Indeed, he's recieved several emails and even a (sadly unattributed) nod in the Philadelphia Inquirer's blog because of it. Never being one to ignore his audience, TCC has decided to give you, his devoted readers, a little extra this week......

by Mike Van Helder and Star C. Foster Everyone knows a buddy movie about moonshiners is best viewed in the company of either a good friend or a jar of hooch - and since getting liquored up is frowned upon at most neighborhood cinemas, Phillyists Mike Van Helder and Star C. Foster decided to do the next best thing and buddy-up to brave "The Dukes of Hazzards." Star: Well, that was...less than stellar. Sure, Burt......
