The700Level.com - Philly Sports & Minutiae: Eagles Fans: Best in Congress!

On Wednesday, the House passed a resolution congratulating the New York Giants on winning this year’s Super Bowl “and completing one of the most remarkable postseason runs in professional sports history.” The resolution passed by a vote of 412 to 1.

Murphy, a diehard Eagles fan who worked at Veterans Stadium as a security guard when he was 16, was the only House member to vote against it. “As a former 700-level security guard and lifelong Eagles fan, I couldn’t, in good conscience, vote for the New York Giants,” Murphy said Thursday. “The only thing worse would have been a resolution honoring the Dallas Cowboys.”

Truly awesome. We solute congressman Patrick Murphy for this tremendous act of patriotism.

Slashfood Bowl: New York street food puts all other street food to shame

Growing up in Portland, OR, there wasn't much in the way of street food available around the city. Sure, there were a select few carts located directly around the big downtown office buildings, but they had very limited hours and were spottily placed. One of the things I looked forward to experiencing each summer, during our annual trip to Philadelphia to visit family, was the all the food carts on the street. They scented the air, lending the aroma of hot dogs, pickle relish and frying beef to the air in their direct proximity.

I'm currently in New York right now, attending a conference and hanging out a bit with some family. When I was getting ready to leave her house this morning, my cousin Betsy asked me where I was going. When I gave her the address, she seemed to shuffle through an index file stored in the back of her brain. Then she said, "There's a terrific Halal food cart on 53rd Street, right off 6th Avenue, with great, cheap food." I was a little boggled at her ability to pinpoint a food cart in a city the size of New York, but as she's lived here for the last 30+ years, I believed that she knew of what she spoke.

Deuce of Davenport | Sports News, Commentary, Humor, Videos: Cal Band Pays Tribute To Video Games


This is one hell of a halftime show here. The Cal Bears marching band decided that during their November 3rd game against Washington State to pay tribute to video game history during their halftime show. Let it be written in stone that Cal students are dorks, but man do they put on a spectacle here. Can you name all the video games that they pay tribute to in this epic display of geekdom?

The difference between sweet potatoes and yams - Slashfood

The difference between sweet potatoes and yams - Slashfood: "The difference between sweet potatoes and yams Posted Nov 9th 2007 3:46PM by Bob Sassone Filed under: Vegetables, Recipes, On the Blogs, Did you know?, Holidays sweet potatoAnyone who has eaten either Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner with me knows that I hate sweet potatoes and love yams. I always thought this was weird because I assumed they were sort of the same thing. Now I know that's not really the case. And I've found one frozen turkey dinner from Boston Market (in stores, not sure about the restaurants) that includes a sweet potato casserole with a pecan topping that I've fallen in love with. These folks are trying to make November Sweet Potato Awareness Month. The site not only gives a detailed explanation of what yams are and what sweet potatoes are, they also give some great recipes, including Sweet Potato Cornbread Stuffing and Sweet Potato Apple Casserole."

Cuddly Chimps - I Want One Of Those

Now all we need are some midgets and we have a great comedy.




Cuddly Chimps - I Want One Of Those: "When you think of cuddly toys, you normally think of teddies, but we're not that normal, and so when we saw these adorable chimps it was love at first sight. Of course the first thing you have to do with a cuddly toy is put it through intensive and vigorous hug testing. The test results in the IWOOT office (even among those who'd like to think they're too hard for this sort of thing) went so far off the scale of huggability that we had to triple our order. The Chimp family (available individually or as a troupe) come in three sizes of Dad, Mum and Baby, and are the softest, squidgiest and most enchanting primates on the planet. They're real heart-melters."

Go ahead, just try tickling ElmoSapien - Engadget

Go ahead, just try tickling ElmoSapien - Engadget: "Go ahead, just try tickling ElmoSapien Posted Sep 28th 2007 12:13PM by Darren Murph Filed under: Robots As you've probably already figured out, only one creation can emerge when you combine Elmo and Robosapien: ElmoSapien. This admittedly bizarre mishmash of toys combines WowWee's Robosapien RS Media and Sesame Street's famed Elmo (or his costume, at least) into one creature that somehow manages to look innocent and menacing simultaneously. 'Course, there's only so much a picture can show, so be sure and check out ElmoSapien's adventures on video after the jump for a hearty chuckle. Tags: diy, elmo, elmosapian, robosapian, video, wowwee"
