Leftovers: I See… Oh, Forget It

• Whoever’s doing headlines on Philly.com passes on the obvious joke about Haley Joel Osment’s arrest — that’d be something along the lines of “I see drunk people” — and goes with “I see handcuffs.” Oy. [AP/Philly.com]

• The Eagles lose in preseason action, 20-10, to the Ravens, but the first teamers were ahead at halftime. On the downside, the Eagles receivers apparently have no hands. [Daily News]

• Now who ever would have thought a Planet Hollywood casino would have a bad design? I mean, really? [Inquirer]

• Great. Just when we forgot about flash mobs, a group wants to have a multi-lingual ordering mob at Geno’s. Come to think of it, we forgot about this whole Geno’s thing, too. Thanks a lot, flash mobbers. [Philebrity]

Just Wait Until The Candy Machine Goes Too Fast And Jim Osman Has To Start Putting Them In His Mouth

This morning, early bird workers were surprised to find Broad Street littered with sheets of paper. But these weren’t, say, the copies of free alt-weeklies that usually end up strewn about the street. No, these were court documents with confidential information on them.

No one knows, exactly, how those papers got there. CBS 3 contacted all the major court agencies, but no takers just yet. Eventually Center City District employees cleaned up the mess, but not before reporter Jim Osman (pictured) took some confidential documents to himself and showed them to the cameras as if to say, “Here! Want some free social security numbers?”

Be sure to head to CBS 3 and watch the video, if only for Osman’s final line of the report, which is:

“We’ll keep working all the angles on this story this afternoon to see why, and how these documents ended up on Broad Street. As the saying goes, someone has some ’splainin to do.”

In Osman’s next report, he’ll end with, “One of these days, Alice! Zoom! Pow! Straight to the moon!”
