I Get Email

Subject: Please change the name of your blog

It's a terrible, negative name. It sounds like "well I wanted NYC, but I'll settle for Philadelphia." Well, Philadelphia won't settle for your poor choice of a blog name.

This reminds me of a letter the Daily News once printed that told the paper it should change its name since it didn't come out on Sunday.

Mayor Nutter Loses In Thumbwrestling

Clout today has a story of Mayor Nutter's thumb-wrestling adventures during Take Your Daughter Daughters & Sons to Work Day.

The mayor stood for about 40 minutes shaking hands and taking pictures with all the kids in City Hall for the day. Clout reports one boy about 4 or 5 grabbed the mayor's thumb for an impromptu throwdown.

The mayor lost. "He did take me down and I am... I am... really impacted," Nutter said. "I'm dealing with it. By the end of the day, I'm going to track that kid down and demand a rematch."

We all know Nutter is a big nerd from the way he wears a baseball jersey; but is he nerdy enough to play a game of Rock Paper Scissors? As you no doubt have heard, Philadelphia Will Do is now the official sponsor of timeouts for the RPS City League; I almost forgot to call a timeout during my one match Monday.

Tonight's games are at The Dive starting around 9:30. Doesn't look like I'll be there, but if you go, call a timeout and support your local blogger. And I'll work on challenging Mayor Nutter to a friendly game of RPS.
