Newbridge Mayubernatorial Debate on Tomorrow’s Best Show!
August 18th, 2008 by Roger Devlin
Please tune into the Best Show (not that you weren’t already going to) tomorrow night to hear promises made and insults hurled by the remaining candidates in the 2008 Newbridge Mayubinatorial election. Tom Scharpling will be moderating the debate live from the just-completed Newbridge Debate Pavillion. This promises to be absolutely insane.

Something I Can Get Behind.
August 13th, 2008 by Tom Scharpling
This book I’m reading. The Greatest Sci-fi Movies Never Made by David Hughes. Here’s a link to it. Basically the guy goes into insane detail documenting movies that either fell apart before getting filmed or came out sad shadows of what they could’ve been. More…
What We Do Is Not Entirely Accurate
August 10th, 2008 by Jon Wurster
Last night I saw the Germs biopic, “What We Do Is Secret.” It’s not the easiest thing to pull off a film on a subject such as this, and I give all involved much credit. There were several excellent moments, and Shane West was great as Darby Crash –especially during the live performances.
And now I ask… More…

Efforts.
August 8th, 2008 by Tom Scharpling
Will be redoubled. And then redoubled again.
This franchise will be taken up a notch or two. The steps have already been set in motion. Meetings have been held.
Blogs will resume.
Tom.
I know this post will be controversial…
June 29th, 2008 by Jon Wurster
…but I feel it’s time to address something.
While it’s true that Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Idi Amin, Jim Jones, etc are responsible for many of the worst examples of human behavior on record, it is also true that, as far as I know, none of them ever played the harmonica, by themselves, in a public place. More…
It is times like these that I love life…
June 25th, 2008 by Jon Wurster
Or should that read “It is IN times like these IN WHICH I love life”?
I’m sitting with my back to the TV screen (don’t judge me), and I hear it….the mandolin. Then the melodica. It’s heaven to mine ears, and it can only mean two things:
A) “And We Danced” …the tune by my dudes…my homies…the Hooters.
B) “Cold Case”…what other show besides “Hack” or “Angie” is set in Philly (I mean besides that Phila version of “Scared Straight” circa: 1981 where that inmate tells that one kid that he’s going to “ram my hoagie up your Schuylkill Expressway” if he doesn’t stop it with the shenanagins)?
Sure the “Cold Case” episode was about a heinous crime committed in 1986, but when was the last time you got to hear the fucking Hooters on national television? You gotta savor that stuff, right?
At this moment all is right with the world. Or should that read: “This is a moment IN WHICH all is right with the world”? Ah, who cares…where’s my powder blue jumpsuit?
Hello again…

Hey, that’s a song by the rock group Cars, isn’t it? Sorry to have been out of touch for so long. I have been on the road for the last few months. Been trying to break this record for tumbling non-stop. The record is 1,354 miles and it was set by this guy in India whose name I can never pronounce because it’s not in English. More…
Tom Reviews Every James Bond Movie #6 - On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969)
April 7th, 2008 by Tom Scharpling
Yes, I know. It’s been ages since I knocked out one of these Bond reviews. I was pondering this very thing the other day while applying a second coat of Thompson’s Water Seal to my new gazebo, wondering how the unstoppable tsunami of blog momentum I had going down the stretch of Q4 2007 was reduced to a lonely dripping faucet in a Panera Bread men’s room a mere eight weeks later.

Okay, That Sucked.
March 29th, 2008 by Tom Scharpling
I’m not going to belabor this point because I’m going to talk about it on the radio this Tuesday. But tonight I did something very very bad. And I paid a price for it. More…
Okay, Here’s How This Goes Down.
March 24th, 2008 by Tom Scharpling
I know I’ve been pretty slack in getting these James Bond reviews done. It’s as embarrassing to me as it is disappointing to you, assuming you actually care. More…
I Will Remember The Bands Who Scabbed On Late Night Talk Shows.

Tom Reviews Every Bond Movie #5 - You Only Live Twice (1967)
January 24th, 2008 by Tom Scharpling
I know what you’re asking. I know what you’re thinking also. Partly because the movie ZAPPED was based on my life*, and partly because I am a student of human nature. More…
Oh, Tom. What Happened?

Happy Hoagie Days!
December 24th, 2007 by Roy (Philly Boy) Ziegler
Hey everybody,
How yez doin’? Just wanted to wish you and nem others yez might be with a Mary Chrismiss and Happy New Years. 2007 and was pretty strange for me, I gotta say. In retrespect it wasn’t a good idea for me to go Amish. Too many rules and I don’t like not havin’ no electricoty. I mean, a man’s gotta have his ghetto blaster, right?
So, I’m back in Roxboro (Rox City!) and enjoyin’ life with Rhoda, Rhoda Jr. and little Royda. You may have noticed I left one Roydon Ziegler the second offa that list. I’m so mad at him right now. What kind of son takes his dad’s last Kandy Kake? Sure I did it to my dad, but these kids today are supposed to be cool! If he don’t watch it I’m gonna bed slap him (this is an old Ziegler family tradition –the parent tucks the child in bed, sings a nice song and then exacts revenge for whatever bullcrap the child did earlier that day by slapping him or her in the face exactly one minute after they fall asleep).
Anywayz –hope yez all have a *Philly-style Chrismiss!
Philly Boy Roy
*the best kind!

Before I get to my exciting review of Goldfinger, I need to tweak a thing or two regarding this endeavor. More…
Land Ho/Enemies List #1!
November 29th, 2007 by Tom Scharpling
Oh, hi all! If you’re wondering why this isn’t another James Bond review, fear not. I just watched GOLDFINGER and I’m gonna have it up sometime tomorrow. I’m gonna tear through these things like something hot that goes through something that’s easily cuttable by said hot thing. More…

Okay, THIS One Is Really Sick! Not For The Easily Disturbed!
November 17th, 2007 by Tom Scharpling
Hey everyone! Apparently I gave my last thread a misleading title - A Little Sick But Check This Out. It made it sound like I was posting something that was a little sick, but I dared you to take a peek nonetheless. More…
