World of Weird Al Yankovic

I have an extra single ticket for this show if anyone needs it - PM me if you're interested.

Anyone think Al will play a song related to The Office, as he's appearing on that CD coming out soon and the show takes place in Scranton?

Ludo had her first cheesesteak last night, and today we had breakfast in a real diner - no scrapple, though. We're going down to South St. shortly and I plan to introduce her to water ice and soft pretzels. She thinks pretzels are nasty, hard, salty things so we need to clear up that misconception pronto. We all know they're soft, doughy (or semi-stale), salty and sold in brown paper bags on street corners...

Does anyone know how WAYfan did in the contest?

Flo-cat, I've never been to this venue, sorry.

Scrapple. Thats some Crap that I've NEVER understood. My step-dad wanted to fix that one night for dinner.. and he did.. and i looked at it and ran out the door and went and got me some fast food.

That and.. some sausage stuff.. I ferget the name of it right now... its.. like a Big LOG of bologna.. uhm. EWwwwwwwwww..

Scrapple.

No thanks.

mmmm water ice .... my husband and I visited Phillie four years ago and had our first water ice. Now, we don't have to go to Phillie for it, there's a Rita's a town away from us, here in NJ.

We ate at a restaurant on the corner where south street ends and then continues on as a big concrete walkway boardwalk type thingy, at least that's my fuzzy memory. We got a delicious lobster dinner ... mmm mmmm gooooood!!!!

A co-worker of mine told me about a cheese steak place that was rated the best on Zagat. It wasn't Pat's, she said it's just a little stand. I thought Pat's was like the soup Nazi on Seinfeld ... too many rules :-)

Flo-cat, I've never been to this venue, sorry.

It's o.k., I have doubts that we will be able to get over that way anyway.

Keep having fun.

That was probably Downey's. I still haven't eaten there and I live an hour away, isn't that ridiculous? One of these days....

My memory is very fuzzy. I remember it was a really nice atmosphere, we had a table on the porch, and it was my first time eating whole lobster. I was fine with it until I looked under the shell near the head of the lobster and saw green glop .... eeeeek. I "kept the lid" on the thing and only ate up to that point. I told my husband, but he ripped the "lid" off of his lobster and I had to see that while I finished my meal. He wasn't very impressed by it either ... yuck!!!!! Other than that, it was a great time.

I wish I could make the trek out to this one but will settle for Greensburg on Saturday. For anyone who wants to go last minute for $8.69, go to ticketmaster.com and put the code Rock107 in under the Rock 107 offer.

What's water ice? Is is cold water or slightly melted ice?
