…Allen Iverson is.

…and who doesn’t love a delicious side of bacons every once and awhile?

Contrary to popular belief, father-in-laws are not always curmudgeonly, judgmental jerks who secretly wish you never married their child. In the case of my falcon whispering father-in-law Brad Felger at least, it couldn’t be further from the truth. Brad is a really stand-up kinda guy, and when the two of us get to talking I get the impression he’s very pleased I’m around. In certain circles, one might assume the two of us are actually friends.

Being so buddy buddy and all, Brad invited me to join him on a routine falcon hunting exercise over the holiday break. Naturally, I accepted the invitation.

“We make the slices by hand, and then, we thrash the streets to get ‘em to ya” - that’s the promise of skate pizza founder Andrew “Graffiti” Scafidi. He may not own a cell phone, or check his emails as often as the pizza-loving community of Philadelphia would like, but I’ll be darned if this skate pizza video isn’t a stroke of pure awesome.

Now, if only somebody in this city would open up a “skate pierogi” shop…

Saw this on highway 1 whilst traveling through California this past summer. I don’t know how they celebrate Christmas over in Monterey, but it sure looks like fun.

Anyone who knows the real Brian Dwyer knows that I’m somewhat of clean freak. Border-lining on O.C.D like behavior, I tidy up things around the house like it’s my job (in fact, it actually was my job for a brief period, when I was a professional cleaning guy back in the spring of 2008).

While strolling around Fishtown, we spotted this protest sign at the corner of Columbus and Frankford.

Brothers and sisters, it’s high time we as a people rally together and put an end to MC Hammer’s tyrannical reign of oppression upon the good people of these United States!

Three weeks into the new decade, and I couldn’t be happier; so far it’s been a remarkable time for horribly awesome child-themed internet videos. Between Sword Fightin’ Phil, Mini-Daddy and now this kid, Danielle and I have almost been rendered speechless (we’ve got a blog to run here, people). One thing is certain though - if the rest of the year is full of treasures this wild, 2010 is sure to be a banner year in the history books.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, we’d like to call Bob Offenberg to the stand:

To find out more about Bob, you can visit his website. Whether or not you can read Dutch, be sure and check out the “Fanshop” section. You don’t need a translator to appreciate all the amazing Bob Offenberg memorabilia…or to watch this half amusement park commercial/half national pride pop masterpiece.

Until next time, Doei Bloggenheadzen!
