Don't Punk Me, Ass
When will Ashton Kutcher learn his lesson? Certain people are off limits. He can't go around "punking" everyone, especially Bernie Mac. In Kevin Rodney Sullivan's Guess Who, Kutcher plays Simon Green, a successful young stockbroker who is engaged to Theresa Jones (Zoe Saldana). When Theresa's parents renew their wedding vows on their 25th anniversary, Theresa takes it as an opportunity to introduce her parents to her white fiance.
Word on the street: I was on mtvU
After sloshing down a few too many cosmos, my friend Grant likes to make serious life-altering decisions on the Internet.
Summer In The City
Just like the smell of horse shit will always make me think of Penn in the spring, some songs are inextricably tied to our memory banks.
We got a case of the Mondays
Street is all about helping out the local movie house peddling cheap liquor on a Monday night.
We like beer
Our favorite thing here at Food and Drink is when silly Americans masquerade around pretending to be European.
Listening To Albert
It was Spring Break, and I had just gotten in from college. My parents and I were sipping Coronas, and I was explaining to them why I hadn't gone to the Bahamas.

Sounds like a girl on girl flick
Woody Allen, in his new dramedy Melinda and Melinda, succeeds in bettering his recent movies, but that's not saying much.
Pious Drunkeness
Tucked away in the brew haven known as Northern Liberties is a little piece of Belgique. Equal parts pub and restaurant, the Abbaye instantly makes you feel like a part of the neighborhood.
Funkin' 'a'
One, two, three and four, five, six, seven, and eight." These sounds of drilling dancers to perfection are the first things I hear above my own desperate gasps for air as I scale the steps of Pottruck Fitness Center (perhaps it's been a little too long since I last visited the gym) to watch Strictly Funk's reherse for their spring show.
Tintin in philphil
Nestled on a quiet residential street just blocks from the Philadelphia Museum of Art is a small, unassuming establishment with a big drink menu that transports you straight to Brussels.
Thank you Jesus
It is no coincidence that America's first candy shop -- Shane Candies Company -- is also the site of the printing of America's first Bible.

Pain-Fashion Slought Foundation 4017 Walnut Street Thu, 6:30 p.m. - 8 p.m., free http://slought.org/content/11267/ This discussion will address various forms of expression in the fashion world including anorexia, drugs, alcohol and food.
Finding the sexiness
"Christianity has become something I don't think Jesus would recognize, frankly." Forty-one years old, eight albums deep into her career and just recently a mother, singer-songwriter Tori Amos -- a minister's daughter -- is not going to let her child grow up the way she did.
South Street Bridget
Alright, people: it's time to debunk the stereotype that traditional South Street cuisine is just pizza and cheesesteaks.
Review: The Pacifier
A Navy Seal turns in his helicopters and semi-automatics to navigate the perils of suburbia: diapers, diapers, diapers (let's just say excrement-related humor abounds) and darned kids who simply refuse to wear their tracking devices.
Johnny B. Good
Amidst the many vintage shops that adorn South Street is one vintage eatery: Johnny Rockets. With locations in 30 states and countries like the United Arab Emirates (gotta love globalization), this successful chain brings back the '50s diner atmosphere to the corner of Fourth and South streets. For starters, options are limited to "Grease"y classics like French fries ($1.99), Chili Fries ($3.39), and onion rings ($2.99). Calorie counters beware, because traditional chocolate, vanilla and strawberry milkshakes ($3.39) are thick and thus irresistible. Rockets' one-third pound burgers are a good 10 notches above McDonald's quality, yet comparable in price to fast food.
I don't Heart Huckabees
It's hard not to feel ripped off when you go into the Penn Bookstore to buy Hamlet (which you know you already own at home anyway) and find all the used copies gone, forcing you to pay the full $10 for a play you probably already know by heart.
