This is a great (or horrible - take your pick) display of classic Philadelphia accents. To the connoisseur of cheesy east-coast speaking style, please note the awful things we do to the letter "O". And please don't confuse us with north jersey - we don't understand those orange fake tan guys either.

@aurispector: First of all, no one moitelates the English language like a New Yorker. A decade in Brooklyn and I can't say simple words (read: woids) like "coffee", "dog", or "talk" without drawing out the "aw" sound to painful proportions.

As for Girlie, she's from the burbs of Beantown so she's wicked retahded. She puts up with me though, which makes her wicked awesome.

And don't mock Belmar, NJ. It's the like French Riviera for guidos.

Philadelphia fans are the best. They boo at funerals and cheer bad landings at the airport.

@Hiphopopotamus: No f'in way, I was raised down the road in Kulpsville. Went to Pennfield, literally across the street from the factory, you could smell the pig flesh on a hot summer day.

It's a small Giz world!

Wake me up when they launch a hotdog to the moon with a launcher. On its own, with minimal weight and packaging.

@maztec: They talked about launching it to Jersey. I would prefer they moved Jersey to the moon, and the moon to Jersey, and then your dream could be fulfilled.

The Birds are planning a sneak run to the Super Bowl. No one will expect it.

@onewiththewurlitzer: Your use of that banned word will cost you $100 per incident, according to the management of the Rays. You can PayPal the funds directly into my account and I will happily deliver it on your behalf.

Oh, and for the record.. Any time the home team plays a song about "millions of fishies in the world" to make fun of the opposing team, it ranks up there as one of the best World Series ever. They even dramatically shortened the last "game" of the series for those of us that think baseball games are too long.

Then again, my favorite sports team won, so that might have clouded my judgment a bit.

@G_Money21: I originally thought the reason the Phillies were finally able to win was the 10,000 losses, but now we know it was because of flying wieners. Though, I doubt the technology is strong enough to help the Mariners.

Here's hoping the Phils can have back-to-back World Series wins.
