Somebody Set Us Up the Bomb: The Lunabomber is trying to resurrect the "All Your Base" meme in honor of its fifth year. Phillyist is happy to help, because we'd rather see "All Your Base" make a triumphant return than the dreaded Dancing Hamsters.

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 - which, among the complaints, alleges that supervisors at the Borgata encouraged their female employees to get breast implants.  Soon afterwards we came across this casting call on Craigslist and noticed that for the "busty" role, Silicon breasts are "preferred."  Phillyist hopes this isn't the start of a Philly-centric breast augmentation trend.  We shudder to imagine the Rodin collection redone with fake knockers.
  • Speaking of body-parts, we'd like to thank Dan Rubin for the most nightmare inducing beginning to a blog post this week: "Hundreds of Americans are walking around with pieces of dead people inside them."  Fortunately, the story didn't turn out to be as

  • Dan Rubin at Blinq tells us that yesterday was the most depressing day of the year - which we suppose means the rest of the year will be full of sunshine and lollipops, scientifically speaking. Here's what the rest of the blogosphere was talking about while the winter blues were still on (now that they're over we assume everyone's left their computer for celebratory dancing in the street):

    While we try to get over the fact that the South St. bridge is so crappy it was damaged by rain, here's your roundup of what's going on in the Philly blogosphere:

    Gonna find my blog, gonna hold it tight. Gonna grab some afternoon delight. My motto's always been; when it's right (you know, conservative), it's right. Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night to blog? (yeah, that doesn't rhyme) When everything's a little clearer in the light of day. And you know the night is always gonna be there any way. (We're just not trying any more) Blog rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight. (You know, because we're posting this in the afternoon) Anyways, here's your frolic through the Philadelphia blogosphere for the week:

    John Street is talking down men from ledges. Al Gore is visiting the city and people aren't making a billion Al Gore/Internet jokes. There were no posts on the Sixers/Knicks preseason tilt. It's been a bizarre week for Philadelphia and the blogosphere. And yet, we're still doing our weekly round-up. Comforting? No. Worth a few lines for a rushed intro? Definitely.

    Between the buyouts and the ridiculously large amounts of food in Philadelphia, bloggers have had their hands full. Here's today's look at the Philadelphia blogosphere:

    The Philadelphia Eagles begin their 2005 campaign to Super Bowl XL tonight in Atlanta. The game is a rematch of last season's NFC Championship game, which the Eagles won over the Falcons in order to get to Super Bowl XXXIX.

    We like to go and cruise that Information Superhighway from time to time. And when we're not doing that, we like to get sucked into the big black hole that is the Philadelphia Blogosphere. Here's the good, the bad and the Eskin for Friday, September 9th.

    Earlier today, Dan Rubin at Blinq became Philadelphia's official blog source for photos of gas station signs with hilarious words printed over the pricing. Later today, in a move that smacks of a Republican cover-up of something, Rubin removed one of the hilarious photos. We here at Phillyist promise that we'll investigate the cover-up sometime when we're bored, like after the Labor Day holiday. We also promise that the only hilarious gas price photos we'll ever post are hilarious gas price photos about hilarious gas price photos, like the one pictured in this post.

    Philadelphia Weekly has been stewing for months, wondering why they couldn't find the next Will Bunch. Or the next Dan Rubin. Or the next...Um, does City Paper have a blog?
