For those of you who don't know, Larry Mendte used to do stand-up out in California. Now that he has some free time, maybe he'll pick up the mic again.

It's cold out. For many of us, it's hibernation time. That leaves nothing much to do but eat, sleep, drink, and bang. So bring it. There's nothing too dirty, freaky, or twisted. E-mail your sex questions over.
What's new and/or interesting on TV this week.
Sometimes, it's hard to resist the hate. You may not be having an especially bad day – you may in fact be in a good mood. But sometimes the snark comes so naturally that you have to marinate in it. Like it's Lawry's.
Friday night, the boy and I were seeing a show at Johnny Brenda's, and we decided that, rather than the usual food downstairs, we'd branch out and explore the neighborhood. A little bit of internet searching led him to Isla Ibiza, about five blocks down Girard from our final destination for the evening.
Chivalry and romance are alive and well in South Philly. This morning, a friend of ours found the following note on his car:
We've got a weird and interesting opportunity for you, via editor Jill, via Maria, via Kathryn: you could square dance with local singer/songwriter Adam Arcuragi - and in outer space, no less. They want 50 people to sign up, hopefully by today, to go down to the Fels Planetarium at the Franklin Science Center on Sunday January 21st from 6PM to 12AM and appear in a music video for Arcuragi. Arcuragi and the band will be playing, Michael Fulton will be directing, Kathryn TeBordo will be choreographing, and you'll be there, dancing. And apparently, kissing; they specify that you should bring someone you want to kiss, if at all possible (but don't worry; it doesn't have to be on the mouth, or with tongue). They don't want kids, but any body types are welcome, and you don't have to be able to dance all that well; the square dancing will be stylized and easy. Even better, pizza and drinks will be provided! But don't be fooled, this is going to be professional and stuff - there's even a dress rehearsal and everything, on Saturday, January 20, 2pm-6pm (if you can't make that, other dates and times are available). E-mail oumopo@yahoo.com for more information, and to RSVP.
We don't know about you, but it's friggin cold out there. Well, not for some of you. It seems as though places that are supposed to be cold are warm and places that are supposed to be warm are cold. Or maybe that's just us. Either way, we're freezing.
Just over nine and a half hours, five home-city teams, and three games made for one crazy Saturday of men’s college basketball in Philadelphia. It is not often that hoops diehards get an opportunity to attend a trio of games in one day, but December 2, 2006 brought just that. Unfortunately, I was only able to go to the nightcap due to a massive amount of work and no access to a car. But in a perfect world, here’s what my day would have looked like…

If you're a regular reader of Phillyist, you may have noticed a certain Sith Lord pop up on the sidebar a little while ago, demanding your attention. But in case he wasn't clear enough, we wanted to break it down for you: Phillyist wants you! We want you to write for us! Come, be part of the new media and the expanding -ist empire! All you need is the ability to write, and perhaps some proof of said ability (in the form of writing samples). Some experience and knowledge of the Philly area is kind of important, too, since we're a Philadelphia blog and all. We're particularly interested in getting a sports writer (as our old one has left for greener pastures, alas). Also, we currently don't post much on the weekends, but we're thinking of expanding into that area, so we could use some people who have some fun ideas for Saturday and Sunday posts.
People, people, people!
