Why Is There No Barkley Statue?

I actually spotted this ad for the first time last night; it's the new Dwayne Wade/Charles Barkley T-Mobile ad. While the series has produced some of the more entertaining on TV recently -- they're no Spy Hunter Pontiac ad, however -- this one is so far the best.

And we totally need to build a statue of Sir Charles riding a horse, eating a cheesesteak. We can put it right in front of Pat's. Or, hell, maybe Chink's!

Send Your Pictures To Dear Old Charles Barkley

Last night's PBS program Philly's Favorite Kids Show Hosts was indeed awesome. In fact, I can't believe Happy the Clown isn't on anymore!

But, the highlight of the program (for me) -- besides learning many times that "there is no footage of this" -- was this Captain Noah interview with Charles Barkley. Because of course Sir Charles would be on Captain Noah! I also left in the Phillie Phanatic part, to remind everyone who the Phanatic's godparents are.

The program's on a bunch more times this month.

Leftovers: South Jersey Grows Up

• Guess who's the newest addition to Craigslist? Well, I don't know, but South Jersey now has a CL of its own. Can Philadelphia's Craigslist take on "Philly Craigslist, now Jersey trash-free!" as a slogan? Please? [CL SJ via Phillyist]

• A Delaware man got a $15,000 gas bill by mistake and almost had a heart attack, he says. On the plus side, well... the utility company is "working" with him to refund his money. (They also took 2K from his bank account.) Something tells me this story won't have a happy ending. [6 ABC]

• "Neighborhood taverns" -- which make less than 10 percent of their money on food sales -- are now considering whether to go smoke-free or close on Sundays for Eagles games. [KYW 1060]

• In case you're wondering, Charles Barkley likes Gnarls Barkley. [Daily News]

• Some schools are replacing Munchkins and cake with celery and fruit. Since I'm done school now, I only have one thing to say: Ha ha ha!
