Let Me Tell You About My Uncommon Cancer
Dan McQuade shares what his last year has been like since learning he’s living with neuroendocrine cancer.

Man, it’s a rough time for the “Eagles are playing like shit, pass me another beer” guy. He’s selling shirts outside the Sixers game tonight.

Honestly a lot of the pies stolen from windowsills were probably taken by animals and not area children. It was a kind of moral panic

We’re watching Sesame Street. My son insists the orange muppet, the one who pals along with the fairy, is Garfield. Is Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue the only canon Garfield/Muppet crossover?

This one guy at 17th and Market made a killing back in the day selling t shirts with Calvin peeing on Joe Buck. Same guy was able to move product with anti-Rich Kotite shit on it and he hadn't coached the Eagles for decades at that point. That guy really understood his audience
Maybe one thing NYers can learn from Philly is how to pick and choose which outsiders' opinions of their city to ignore, which ones to mercilessly mock, and which to monetize via t-shirts
