Yeah. It ain't right.

I've only been listening about a year now and haven't scoured the board, but has anyone ever noticed how PBR sounds like he could be nardwaar's cousin from Philly or sumthin'?

I was looking for Roy to run out of the stands at the Phillies game last night. Surely Philly Boy was in the audience to see nem Phillies win their second championship ever.

man that is weird. Listening to NPR today I was blown away by listening to all the Philly accents, as they talked to the men and women on the street about the championship.

Roy's been detailing his World Series exploits on the Scharpling and Wurster blog (http://scharplingandwurster.com/index.php?cat=5).

Anybody know where Roy was last Saturday Night?

It's just his MO to throw a stink bomb at a game vs. New Jersey.

Even if Roy didn't do it, I'm sure he'll take credit if asked.

I can't wait to hear Roy explain his behavior of trashing Philly even though the Phillies WON the series.  Andrew, what's wrong with some o' nem fans?  I ain't seen violence like that since the last time the Lakers or the Dodgers won or lost any game at all.

Did you guys get news of that train wreck that happened here in September?  Dodgers fans.

to put it bluntly steve: philadelphia is a dirty, angry, miserable, violent place to live and a good deal of 'nem that reside here are assholes. most people who don't live here, but come to town for food, sports, music, work, school, a starting destination for weekend drunk driving excursions, etc. are assholes too. i will make no excuses for this place anymore. it is my lifelong home and i love it, but philadelphia really is the pits sometimes (though i guess most places are.) here was our big night - the time we FINALLY won something and had the chance to show folks our classy side, and all they saw was a bunch of drunk jocks smashing the windows of a luggage store and flipping hardworking people's cars. losses we can take - we're used to that - but put a W in our hands and we'll burn the whole fucking town down to show you our philly proide. that whole thing was disgusting and almost ruined the win for me. boo philadelphia!

In a perfect world, there exists a version of this video with audio of Roy as the guy falling on the lightpost.

I've only been listening about a year now and haven't scoured the board, but has anyone ever noticed how PBR sounds like he could be nardwaar's cousin from Philly or sumthin'?

Prescient and synchronistic.

I thought of Roy when I saw a link to a Hall & Oates story on CNN today, especially this quote:

Both men were raised in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, area and attended Temple University in the late '60s, but didn't formally meet until their respective bands were set to play an R&B teen dance in 1967. Oates: "We were waiting backstage to go on and a big gang fight broke out and we went down the service elevator and we left. And as we were going down we kind of met."

Gang fight? Gunfire and clubs and dog chains? Hall: "Typical Philadelphia scene. We didn't even blink an eye."
