Looking back on a week's worth of local craigslist hijinks. We're not sure what's more alarming: the pet rock running away or the five bottles of whiskey. Actually, we suspect the events listed may be out of sequence. This isn't usually what they have in mind when they say friends with benefits. But hey, if this works, we're looking for a friend with a beach house. Time to grab the scissors and clip coupons, kiddies.......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. An amusing music video from Mindless Self Indulgence, directed by Jhonen Vasquez. (Via) A recent Wii update closed up a loophole that allowed hackers to run homebrew software through Twilight Princess, but apparently hackers have already broken the new code and opened up the loophole again. Good old hackers. Sienna Miller has confirmed that she will play Maid Marian in director Ridley Scott’s......

Nothing about this video is safe for work. Nothing.......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. If you watch TV at all, you've probably seen those rather odd new Coldwell Banker commercials which feature portraits of the company founders talking to each other. Well, as all things must these days, the portraits have a blog, which lately chronicled their visit to Philadelphia. The world is a strange place... (Via Megan) Um... what? We're a......

Nudar. If you’re wondering if it is what it sounds like, then chances are, you’re spot on. It’s exactly what it sounds like. Nudar (NSFW) is, as the website states, “radar for strip clubs and nudity.” Whether you’re on the hunt for anything from a tasteful nudist resort to a seedy all-nude review, Nudar is a must for those looking for “hawt n00dz” on the go. The software is currently in beta testing and......

We love food. Not just because it's a necessary substance for sustaining life. Perhaps, we should say we're in love with food. That's why we would risk personal relationships for an ourstanding meal, why The Food Network is one of the only TV stations we can find without using the guide, and why we comb the pages of picture-heavy cookbooks the way most people thumb through the latest edition of Playboy (NSFW). And so......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Check out this sweet poster for Takashi Miike's latest project, Sukiyaki Western Django. Here's hoping they manage to get a copy of this one for the Philadelphia Film Festival...

Hot damn, this movie......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. We don't normally like Sarah Silverman, or Jimmy Kimmel, but we have to admit, her music video about Matt Damon, and Jimmy Kimmel's response, are pretty funny.

Joe, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars; and Mattel Speed Racer toys. Apparently there's going to be a total......

The sun is out and, although it looks pretty, it isn't doing us much good. It's still colder than a Phillyist's, uh, hand, in a, um, brass, hm, glove? Politically correct humor is an oxymoron. Since it's Valentine's Day, we'll offer something angry for the loners, something romantic for the lovers and something educational for the learners to do in the city that is suddenly too cold for murderers. At least there's something good......

Gotta love it when assholes from out of town try to punk Philadelphians. Warning: This is probably NSFW at some points.......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. A painfully true video about what's really important to voters.

But if that's still not enough for you, Phillyist's cousin LAist has an interview with the director.......

This one may be a little NSFW, depending on where you W.......

Torontoist discovered their city's most ridiculous holiday lights setup, with 80,000 lights and two––two!––synchronized music routines. Naturally, they snagged a video. Chicago tragically loses one of its most recognizable neighborhood icons, the pigeon man of Lincoln Square. LAPD leaves body in car at crash scene, then tows it. Massachusetts plus mullet equals PR mayhem. Londonist sleeps in a Haunted plague pit. UC Berkeley students strip naked and race through campus, NSFW floppiness ensues. Phillyist......

Every weekday of December (except for December 25, that is), Phillyist will be counting down to 2008 with our highlights from the past year and our predictions for the next.

Happy first weekend of September - and happy Labor Day weekend, too, for our American cities! Let's take a look at what's been happening around the Ist-a-verse. The deaths of two firefighters shook Bostonist this week. Boston's firefighters bent over backwards all week long - first, they fought flames pouring from the Boston Tea Party museum, and then a restaurant fire killed two and injured many more. Their efforts make everything else - like Tom......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. The folks at Something Awful are at it again. This time they've got breakfast cereal box art done in the style of grindhouse movie posters. Brilliant! Oh, but be aware, some of the art may be NSFW. (Via) Cinematical interviews Rob Zombie about his Halloween remake. Rumor is that Tom Welling, who plays Clark on Smallville, will be......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. Maxim Online has collected for you a list of the best movie scenes involving drugs, and they even included video clips. Beware some NSFW language.

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. This is a pretty neat find: a series of illustrations from a 1947 issue of Life Magazine wherein some cartoonists were asked to draw their most famous characters, once normally, and then again with a blindfold on.

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. We're kind of sad that Battlestar Galactica's next, and fourth, season will officially be its last. But we're glad that it was a creative decision, rather than a decision by management, and that they're planning on going out with a bang. There will be a special two-hour episode called "Razor" airing in November, then the final 22-episode season will start in......
