Porcelain Suffers Crushing Defeat: I like Kevin Smith a lot (the man, not his movies), he’s a funny no-bullshit kind of guy and a very informed movie reviewer. So I’m sad to hear (and see!) just how obese he has gotten. Smith recently broke a toilet. Ooof! Pull it together Kev, quit the pot, hit the gym and put some photos of Chris Farley and John Candy on your fridge.

Crystal Ball: The Onion predicted Joe The Plumber back in 93.

Looting: Phillie fans = small time. Republicans = BIG TIME!

Pumped Up! Listen to Phil’s announcer Harry Kalas make the final call while watching Chris Wheeler’s awesomely aerobic and silent celebration.

“Why is he swinging a pocket watch in front of our faces?” Beware: Barack Obama’s speeches contain the hypnosis techniques! Looks like he’ll get at least 33 Million votes.

Hear More Seymour: Brian Seymour celebrates the Phils victory on Saturday night, Nov 1st:  Fergie’s Pub – 1214 Sansom St. – 9-11pm – one long set, don’t be late.

Photabulous! Wildlife Photographer of the Year winners announced

I Spy with My Little Eye: Learn how to build and use tiny surveillance devices!

I Smell Scam: Philly fix my car! Maybe not, you decide.

Halloween Warning: Scaring Tyrone is not a good idea.

Free MP3: I love Fucked Up’s new CD The Chemistry of Common Life. You will too.  Download MP3: “Twice Born” [via Matador]

In addition to classics like “Memories of High School,” “Ruby” and “Always Leaving,” there is a new updated version of his old fave “Coffee Song” that he recorded with Stewboss in L.A. Look for a full length recording from these sessions in early 2009.

See Seymour live: To celebrate this release, Seymour will performing at two of his favorite venues this fall:

Mann Oh Mann! Hooray for West Philly, two great shows are coming to the Mann Music Center in June:

The Mann, located in scenic Fairmount Park, is a great place to see a show in the summer. Get there early and tailgate on the expansive lawn, lots of trees and lots of shade. You should also check out some Philadelphia Orchestra shows during the week at the Mann starting in July.

Pack some food and wine, chill out on the lawn, stare at the sky and say to yourself… “I love classical music… I hope they play the theme to Indiana Jones or that song from Apocalypse Now.”

Helpful Drinking Tip: Most lawn seats at concert venues like The Mann are sloped, so you might want to pick up these ingenious little wine glass holders to secure your beloved beverage, a must for all outdoorsy winos.

Seymour + Fergies = One Happy Drunk! Celebrate the glory of the spring season with Brian Seymour! He’ll be performing one gigantic set filled with guitars, pints, palaver, a gospel choir and pyrotechnics this Saturday at the almighty Fergie’s Pub! (Gospel choir and pyrotechnics not guaranteed.)

Cruise to Mars: Celebrity cruises are popular with all types: gay folks (Rosie), complete losers (John Mayer) and TV geeks like us. I’m saving my pennies so I can go on the Veronica Mars Cruise, but I just might wait until the Celebrity Guests are announced. Don’t want to be stuck on boat all week chatting up C-listers like Duncan Kane and Beaver Casablancas.

Some Time Wasters:

Video: “I Will Possess Your Heart” by Death Cab for Cutie. A tad longish, but I dig it, very hypnotic, like most of their tunes:
