Another new writer today, folks. Please help us welcome Don Montrey, who is a comedian and a writer. He has no criminal record as far as you know.

I like this Top (Insert Your Number) thing that Phillyist has going right now. It allows you to write without a clear beginning-to-end narrative, something that comes in handy when you aren’t really watching the game that you are supposed to be “reporting” on. This week, I didn't have something as deathly important as getting my dog's photo taken with Jolly St. Nick. No, I blew the game off because my wife was having her family over for dinner. Now I like the in-laws, but, more importantly, I really like TACOS. The wife made some really delicious ones and I wasn’t going to let some game with “playoff” implications get in the way of my “Should I have beef or pork tacos” dilemma. It just really wouldn’t be fair to the family. That and the fact that I've officially graduated to the "don't really give an ass" mode of this season. But since I’m not going to let the fact that I didn’t really watch the game get in the way of a deadline, let’s start the fun and cheeriness!

Boy, did I wake up to good news this morning!? As it states on page D2 of today’s Philadelphia Inquirer, Brian Tierney’s publication has stripped Stephen A. Smith of his column-writing duties, effective immediately. They have stated that they want him to return to reporting, which, since he spends most of his time in cities not named Philadelphia, is probably code for “Here’s your hat, what’s your hurry?” Now I don’t want to rush to judgment and say that my column of the 17th of August 2007 was the reason for this unceremonious demotion… but until I hear otherwise, that is exactly what I will do. So since I have been able to accomplish this lofty goal, you can read eight more wishes I would like to see fulfilled after the jump.

: No future screenings scheduled—although the film will apparently be coming out in wide-release soon

Confession time.

It's been nearly a week since I went to see the Arden's production of . And yet I haven't reviewed it until just now. This is for a couple of reasons: (1) I've been insanely busy; (2) I left the program at a friend's, and still don't have it back, so I can't cite actors by name, and would have liked to, so I was hoping that I'd get that program back before I wrote this (but I just found the cast list on the Arden's website, so we're all good); (3) I may have forgotten a little; (4) something happened during the second intermission that made me so angry that I wanted to calm down to prevent this from becoming a sequel to last week's Monday Manners. So let me just say, very quickly, that if you want to leave a play at intermission because you're not enjoying it, that's fine. But if you're going to stand in the aisle, loudly trying to persuade your friends that the play sucks and that they should skip the end and go drinking with you, it's not.

A few weeks ago, we told you about Kelli Ann, and now it's time for another loving animal in need of a good home. Today, we bring you Angel, who is also a Cares4Pets potential pet. This adorable akita-mix puppy was found wandering the streets of West Philly by her foster dad, but unfortunately, he's leaving the country and Angel will soon be homeless. Angel chimed in to help us find her a home, too:

But, since we're not, here's what our sister -ists are up to:
