Sometimes, to quote that awful Taco Bell commercial, you just want something cheesy and melty. But if you're like me, there's little—short of being very, very broke or very, very drunk—that will persuade you to patronize Taco Bell, so when the craving hits, you must look elsewhere. And as entertaining as it was to watch Mayor Nutter really enjoy his margaritas at the Love Park Mexican Post last week, I didn't find my meal......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. Cracked offers a horrifying (and hilarious) vision of what next year's Oscar nominees could be like if the writer's strike doesn't end (via). Meanwhile, Taco Bell has launched a contest on its website that offers striking WGA members a chance to win free food for a year (valued at $250) by "injecting fun and fresh bits of wisdom......

Elsewhere, London's answer to Central Station is about to open for business, and Londonist got a sneak preview. Meanwhile, spooky goings-on beneath London Bridge, where a cache of skeletons provided an apt story for Hallowe'en.......

Much to our surprise, the world actually continued turning this week, and things kept happening! Here's some of the latest stuff that's been going down in Philly and the surrounding area. A small group of men entered a home in Kingsessing by pretending to be utility workers. They proceeded to tie up the two women they found there and ransack the house. However, they were unable to find any cash, and ran away. The descriptions......

Have a tough person to shop for on your holiday list? Perhaps you can consider purchasing for them, the PA Turnpike. Tires were slashed in Torresdale... ...while people are still targets of violence near the new Pearl Theater. Never mind our warning to avoid the Taco Bells - all Philly Taco Bell locations have closed and will remain so until given the health department OK. The news isn't all bad for the fast food industry:......

Slaking your thirst for crazy internet junk since a week ago (yes, in blog world we celebrate milestones as meaningless as one week! Also, shut up). Lists are what we're all about here at Phillyist (well...that, and Philly), so here's IGN's list of the Top 10 Worst Game Controllers. We remember from painful experience just how crappy the controller for the Atari 5200 was (after a while you had to jam those buttons in with......

It was just the other day that Phillyist mentioned how West Philly and University City were a haven for the adventurous gastronome. Apparently, someone at the University City District (warning: slow-loading Flash components) agrees, because they just released a University City Ethnic Dining Guide. You can either download the pamphlet and print it out, or you can find one of the twenty-thousand or so copies that the UCD folk plan to distribute around town......
