Mac McCaughan came out on stage before [Pipe] instead of the night's emcee and announced that there was a lone protester outside. He invited him up on stage and it was Jon Wurster decked out in Phillies gear as Philly Boy Roy. He was holding a sign that said "Boycot MERGE." He complained that Merge didn't have any Philly bands on their roster and Mac said that they have bands from Jersey, which is close to Philly. You never compare Jersey to Philly in front of Philly Boy Roy. It was hilarious.

Sorry if we've already talked about this; I'm not yet caught up.

The video attached to the link is probably worth the watch, too.

this looks like it wouldve been a great five days.  PBR showing up is icing on the cake.

If Brooklyn Vegan Commenters are at the bottom of the order of everything, where does a mention of PBR on Brooklyn Vegan land?

Seeing this was totally awesome.

Wurster was the best MC of the whole weekend.  He did Gene Simmons, too!

That's the same joke he told when he crashed Patton Oswalt's show at the TLA.

If he's going to be representin' the 215, he's gotta stop tellin' nem old jokes, ain't he?

I know, it's weird, and it shouldn't be. But it is.

I've always pictured PBR as a big fat guy who eats hoagies and tasty cake salads.  That guy just looks like a hipster.

I've always pictured him looking something like a down-market Iggy Pop.

I think the joke has appeared in Chunklet, and I remember PFT laughing at it on the Best Show too, but I can't remember which episode it's from.

The worst part is that SEPTA is soon doing away with the "R" naming conventions for regional rail lines, so eventually the joke will be rendered obsolete.

if PBR was truly a philly dude he wouldnt be riding the expensive 7dollar R-lines anyway.   

Hed most likely be from somewhere around 8th and Shunk, and would never be on public transportation becuase he would never leave his neighborhood ever.  Walking to the subway at broad and oregon would be like a trip to mars.

Haha. I'm listening to 610 WIP and I swear I heard Roy Ziegler call. Eagle fans don't sound too happy about the Vick signing.

BTW, I loathe the Eagles and the Flyers. Phillies are okay though.
