The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. This is pretty hilarious: Denny's just started offering a new Rockstar Menu, featuring dishes created by actual rockstars when asked what they like to eat late at night. We're particularly excited about the Heart on a Plate created by Jesse Hughes from Eagles of Death Metal. (Via Filter) Director Mathieu Kassovitz says a troubled production and some bad editing have turned......

This is the green issue, so it's appropriate to read it online. Then grab a bite to eat. If you've got the cash and time, try "Philly's greenest restaurateur." We Shop Eco. Make sure Fido is on board with the eco-friendliness. We really can't take it that far though. And biking in the city still scares us. Lessons learned from the Olympics. Keep on getting ready for Fringe; good luck getting into Wandering Alice though.......

Labor Day is nearly upon us. While we love the extra day off work, what we don't love is the fact that we'll soon be hurtling toward cold temperatures, icy streets, and a severe shortage of our favorite produce varieties. So for those of us who want to cling to summer as long as we possibly can, City Food Tours of Philadelphia will be offering a “So Long to Summer” Food Tour on Sunday. The......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. NME profiles an American teen who quit school to work on perfecting his Guitar Hero game. His skills have already netted him prizes, and he hopes to go professional eventually. Oh, and don't worry—his parents have hired him a tutor so he can continue his education.

Can you believe Labor Day weekend is right around the corner? We can't either. Here's what's going on this weekend. Wildwood Block Party & Festival is on Saturday. It has the usual: games, crafts, food, entertainment, etc. Stone Harbor Merchants' Day Sale is on Saturday. The town, with its normally expensive shops, opens its doors to some great discounts. Heading to AC? Here's what's going on: Comedian Andrew Dice Clay is at the Borgata on......

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......

It’s bringing Tina Turner to mind: Do we really need another hero? When it comes to Philly sports, the answer is always yes; does Cole Hamels really fit the bill? It’s Fringe’s first sell-out! Good for them, crappy for us. There’s so much there, they needed an added web exclusive. Cupcake Bandit! We’re all about it, and eagerly await the Film Bandits premiere (if you can’t wait, check out their film festival). Yet another reason......

As if we weren’t already anticipating the hell out of Live Arts/Fringe, this piece on Kate Watson-Wallace and her work Car has got us buckling up. If you’re still making up your schedule, they have some suggestions. An ancient Mexican snack makes its way to South Philly, and helps out indigenous farmers. “Is the world ready for composted human feces?” We’re going to say “No,” but then we’re not anarchists. We’ve got hips and tits,......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. The most brilliant blog we’ve seen this week (present company excepted, of course): Cake Wrecks showcases professional cake-work gone terribly, hilariously wrong. Our favorite is the STD-riddled fruit. Enjoy! It’s a scene that might make Editor Jim regret giving up on a big wedding. Want to feel old? Then read about college students not knowing what Watergate symbolizes,......

Looking back on a week's worth of local Craigslist hijinks... Nothing's really funny about this except the title. Because, really, who doesn't want to beat up someone in a suit? Something sounds... fishy. Or maybe we're just paranoid from watching too much SVU and Forensic Files. Yes, it is too bad... you could've taken pictures and posted them. This has chick flick written all over it. This one, too. This, on the other hand, has......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. Yesterday was the 26th anniversary of the release of the compact disc. The Listening Post at Wired celebrates by wishing for no more happy returns. (Via Jill) Also celebrated by Wired recently was the 10th birthday of the iMac. (Via Jill) Apparently Daniel Radcliffe is getting naked again—and this time it's for Harry Potter. Wha?! Also, Radcliffe revealed recently that he......

A look at how locals are faring in the Olympics. Police are still searching for the rapist or rapists who have been terrorizing the Frankford section of Philadelphia. A man was arrested Saturday in a kidnapping and sex assault, but police don't believe he's connected to the other incidents. The Inquirer takes a look at the crowded and sometimes dangerous conditions on the Kelly Drive bike path at Boathouse Row. The Daily News lists......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. A gallery of photos of San Fran's annual "Altered Barbie" exhibition. Some could theoretically be considered NSFW, but c'mon, it's just a doll. (Via Sarah) Three men have scheduled a press conference this afternoon in Palo Alto, California where they say they'll reveal the details of their discovery of what they claim is a dead Bigfoot. But apparently even other Bigfoot hunters doubt......

It’s only right to pick up a hard copy of this one: City Paper presents the Comics Issue! How subversive. Or not. Is oil animal by-product free? Vegans are hit hard by the rising cost of gas. Yeah, what has he done? A look at at-large City Council member Jack Kelly's record, which apparently includes parking garages and puppies (two of our favorite things!). A tale of two truthinesses: Another look at the bill requiring......

The big story is the huge fire that started early last night at the Riverwalk at Millennium apartment complex in Conshohocken. The fire destroyed three buildings and left three others damaged. Residents of the apartments are trying to cope with the loss of their homes and, in some cases, pets. This morning, fire trucks were still on the scene and firefighters were napping on the sidewalk as embers from the buildings smoldered. In the wake......

Get in one last beach read: PW folks and others give their recommendations for late-summer reading. Also, independent bookmongers show what we’re really buying. All right, we have no excuse for skipping the treadmill ever: Local doc and fitness instructor Marjorie Dejoie (aka Dr. Dej) talks about staying fit while battling sickle cell disease. Enrich yourself, or fail to do so: a guide to area continuing education and enrichment programs. EW! EwEwEw! Yeah yeah, it’ll......

It shouldn't surprise anyone to know that we watch food shows. And so we'd be remiss if we didn't mention a new show on the Fine Living network featuring the inimitable Martha Stewart. Well, "featuring" is a bit of a stretch: the show, as the New York Times reports, will be more like a spin on Mystery Science Theater 3000, starring Stewart's daughter Alexis and Jennifer Koppelman Hutt, whose father, Charles Koppelman, is the......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. Dude, Mountain Dew cupcakes! Brilliant! (Via Sarah) Oh no! What have they done to our beloved Clue? Now there are nine rooms, nine weapons (and no lead pipe), and the house is modernized (apparently the new version is more like a mansion from Cribs). Argh! (Via Sarah) Forbes lists the top earning celebrity chefs. We can't believe that......

The summer keeps slipping away, and with it opportunities for leisurely outdoors activities. Menupages reminds us that summer is the time for picnics, and that it's not too late to enjoy meals al fresco on a blanket. They'll be posting weekly on local parks that are ideal dining rooms; first up is Penn Treaty Park, which gets a thumbs up. We are embarrassed to say we were totally unfamiliar; seems like other folks are too,......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. "Researchers have demonstrated for the first time they were able to cloak three-dimensional objects using artificially engineered materials that redirect light around the objects." This means we're a step closer to a real invisibility cloak! Which is awesome and horrifying at the same time. Ooh, new Star Trek character posters! (Via) Robert Duvall is reprising his role as Tom Hagen in......

What's new and/or interesting on TV this week. The Olympics (All week, 8PM-12AM, NBC10) NBC continues their painfully extensive coverage of the 2008 summer Olympic games. Madden NFL '09 Kickoff Live (Mon, 11:45PM-12AM, Spike) Live coverage of the release of the latest installment of the most popular football video game. Shouldn't this be on G4? Smash Lab (Tue, 10PM-11PM, Discovery Channel) The team attempts to construct a car that can withstand a 55mph hit to......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Apparently McDonalds franchisees have been complaining about having to advertise for the dollar menu, their point being that it makes little sense to pay extra to publicize something that brings in less revenue. So McDonalds is considering changing things, starting with the double cheeseburger. Specifically, they're thinking about either making it more expensive, or taking the cheese off. If they go with the......

If you're anything like this Phillyist, you abhor the Olive Gardens and Applebees of the world, and opt for the local "mom and pop" shops with their homemade foods and servers that know you by name. The shore is the best place to get that "mom and pop" vibe. Because, with the short four-month season and location, location, location, it's not easy for chains to justify setting up shop down the shore. Check out this......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. It's funny because it's true. Present company excluded, of course. (Via Sarah) Speaking of internet truths, we're sure you already know that for every incredibly odd and unlikely pass-time you can imagine, there is a website for it. Case in point: Hats of Meat, which celebrates making and wearing hats made out of raw meat. Why does this happen? We can't even begin......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Paris Hilton rather famously made a cameo in a recent John McCain campaign ad. So Funny or Die paid for her hilarious video response. It's the best thing we've ever seen her in! Way better than the sex video. (Via Debbie) Check out the Holy Grail of Buffy fandom, a never-before-seen three-minute demo reel for a Buffy the Vampire Slayer animated......

Happy Birthday Funkmaster Flex! PHILLY GEEK DINNER AT NATIONAL MECHANICS Tonight you can celebrate geekdom with fellow geeks and scarf some quality eats at the same time.
