Hey, I am a daily reader of your blog (actually, a multiple-times-a-day reader) and I feel I have a story that would excite other readers as well. It’s not your average story but everyone loves Halloween, Right???
I just saw a video of Elvira and it says how Philly is bringing in ELVIRA this year and there is going to be events at Eastern State Penitentiary, Edgar Allan Poe’s house and a party at the Park Hyatt.
When I heard this I got really excited because there hasn’t been much going on for Halloween the past couple years in Philly. Elvira plus Halloween in Philly. How much better does it get?
Just a suggestion and I figured I’d throw it out there.
Yes, the only thing I love more than Halloween are emails sent from PR people using Hotmail accounts. Syntax like that, though, totally gets you a post, no matter who you work for.
Alternatively, maybe it’s just someone who constantly Googles “Elvira” all day. Hmm. It truly doesn’t get any better than this.
Michael Klein alerted everyone to Larry Mendte’s official website in yesterday’s Inquirer. Brad Maule will be happy to see that he’s using an updated skyline shot with the Comcast Center; everyone else should probably be terrified of the 75-foot Mendte that will kill us all.
I can only assume Mendte is harvesting email addresses and will be sending replies that contain rootkits, so he can soon be reading everyone’s email.
It’s a terrible, negative name. It sounds like “well I wanted NYC, but I’ll settle for Philadelphia.” Well, Philadelphia won’t settle for your poor choice of a blog name.
This reminds me of a letter the Daily News once printed that told the paper it should change its name since it didn’t come out on Sunday.
I’m a bit puzzled by some of the reaction, people posting comments about how angry they are Lane sent photos of herself in a bikini to a sports anchor. Isn’t that a pretty cool thing to do? Wouldn’t you like it if an attractive thirtysomething send you swimsuit photos?
But I digress. The majority of the email I’ve received this week is like this:
Tell Alicia Lane I’m single. 26 yr old white male going to graduate school health services administration. WORD!!!
As you’ve probably heard, Delaware County Community College has been closed for the past several days due to a threatening email received by teachers and staff members.
All five campuses (campi?) will reopen today with extra security, even though police have not found the source of these emails. The full text of the email was released yesterday. It was signed by “J Feathers,” which means it was sent by a bird or something. Here’s the email via CBS 3. No, it wasn’t sent by Alycia Lane. Everything below is [sic], of course:
jus so u kno i’m sick of everything, i can’t stand my life anymore. i’m sick of ppl stressing me out at that school, so i’m jus letting u know in case that i’m going to get 2 weapons from a friend n i’m goin to kill everyone at this damn school. i’m so frustrated, jus so anyone wants to kno when this coming Monday or tuesday. take my notice seriously, cause i’m giving 1 Chance of survival. It wilbe done at exton and downingtown camp.”
Yeesh. I’m glad the police investigated this email, but shouldn’t someone be investigating Delco Community College’s English department as well?
I’ve always been jealous of Rich Eisen. Although he’s a handsome guy, I’m actually only jealous of his gig working for the NFL Network, which has to be the greatest job ever. But, apparently, I should be a little more jealous of his looks. After all, he attracted the attention of noted anchorbabe Alycia Lane.
Last time we saw Alycia Lane, she was fending off the advances of one State Sen. Vince Fumo. Now, though, she’s in hot water for sending Rich Eisen seven emails and photos of herself in a bikini. The problem, though, was he sent it to an email account Eisen and his wife share — who does that? — and the wife intercepted the emails first.
Page Six reports Eisen’s wife, ABC sideline reporter Suzy Shuster, fired back a nasty email to the CBS 3 anchor, writing this:
“Boy, do you look amazing in a bikini . . . congrats! Whatever you’re doing, (Pilates? yoga?) keep doing it - it’s working for you. Anyway, sorry but those seven e-mails you sent to my husband, Rich, well, oops, they came to the e-mail address we both use from time to time, but no worries, I’ll forward the beach shots as well as the ones of you dancing with your friends on to his main address. Do you have it?”
Shuster added, “I mean, what better way to get a guy’s attention than with skin!” Shuster even gave Lane Rich’s solo email address, which means she must trust him, I suppose. Nobody would comment for the Page Six article, but here’s the deal: If you’re reading this, Suzy, feel free to forward those photos along. That goes for you too, Alycia.
Yes, if you’re wondering, Alycia Lane is fucking awesome. I’m sort of wondering what she’s going to do next to get in the gossip columns. (Last year, she was seen cheek-to-cheek with Prince Albert.) I feel like I’m going to be writing a post soon that begins, “Dan Gross reports Alycia Lane was seen riding a butterscotch-covered elephant in a one-piece down Broad Street yesterday…”
State Rep. Jewell Williams, who’s from Philly, is a co-sponsor of an Angel Cruz bill that has no chance at passing but is a way to get attention for his gun control arguments. (The bill’s about gun control, too, obviously; it’s just not going to pass.)
Anyway, this morning some idiot from Allentown wrote him an email saying something to the effect of “you should be shot” for supporting his fellow democrat Cruz. Way to do your part to make gun owners look like responsible human beings, buddy!
Williams is taking the threat seriously, which is certainly his prerogative and not something you can really criticize. But, ah, could we do it so everyone’s reaction to the story isn’t “guh-wha”?
A Philadelphia lawmaker who supports tougher gun-control laws said Thursday he will likely start wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying his gun more often after receiving a threatening e-mail.
I think the equivalent of this move is protesting abortion by opening up a Planned Parenthood.
Just a few days after former Inquirer editor Joseph P. Blake said he didn’t like murals — or gentrification, which surely has a lot to do with murals — the Mural Arts Program sent out a letter to the mailing list asking everyone to write into the Inquirer and say how much they loved murals and the Mural Arts Program, etc., etc.
Unfortunately, the Mural Arts Program also forgot to blind carbon copy and now everyone on the list has the email of, say, Albert Yee. As well as a ton of politicians and artists, etc. Which is always funny. Full email after the jump.
It’s always a watershed moment when a sports figure transcends into the general consciousness. Now that “Brain Westbrook” is sending out spam emails, he’s totally in.
