lager
Yuengling is the next "Great American Beer," according to Salon (despite blathering mostly about hipsters and Pabst Blue Ribbon).
I'm not sure how I'd feel about this. I know lager is available in many, many states (and brewed in two), and I realize this is just an article, but there's something special about it being so distinctive to Pennsylvania and surrounding areas. It's like a pint of home. It would be a shame if that ever changed.

the dialectical materialism of emilio and jean-claude
Thesis: Timecop: Time-traveling cop puts right what once went wrong. Also, turns Ron Silver into a pile of goo.
Antithesis: Freejack: Time-traveling race car driver (obviously, different from a cop) puts right what will go wrong. Also, turns Mick Jagger into an actor forced to utter the line "get the meat!"
Synthesis: Combination of footage from Timecop and music from Freejack, resulting in YouTube glory.

philly 5th most walkable city...
... according to the Inky and some site called walkscore.com. San Fran, NYC, Boston and Chicago comprise the top four.
Some people envision Philly as a rusty metal cauldron filled with humidity from which stray bullets occasionally emerge, so I always like to point out that it's very walkable, like a "big small town." The two thing that set it apart from Manhattan, in my opinion, are 1) that one can easily walk the entire city center (granted, Center City is probably the size of a large Manhattan neighborhood), and 2) that the Philadelphia grid is laid out on a much more human scale (blocks in Manhattan can be very, very long).

movie casting of the decade
OK, try to remain as calm as possible when you read the following news. Make sure you're not doing any ironing or have muffins in the oven that might burn once said news gives you a case of the vapors.
18 short days from now, the SciFi Channel will feature the world premiere of (wait for it...) ANACONDA 3: THE OFFSPRING STARRING DAVID HASSELHOFF (AND JOHN RHYS-DAVIES AS "MURDOCH")!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH! CRACK EACH OTHER'S HEADS OPEN!
Not only that, but we'll even see an Anaconda 4 by the end of the year.
This could be the movie casting of the decade; on par with the 1990s' casting of Tommy "Tiny" Lister and Bokeem Woodbine (link goes to a profile in Vibe entitled Bokeem Woodbine: Life of a Champion) in Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies (it doesn't!).
I mean, adding Rhys-Davies to anything makes it better, particularly if it's a movie featuring some sort of sabretooth. Since I'm guessing there are no sabretooths (sabreteeth?) in Anaconda 3, the fact that his character is named "Murdoch" totally makes up for it.
