Meme of the day
Big Brother has the Prince of Pittsburgh under surveillance at the Pirate Game. His low-key shirt choice and conservative shades were not enough to evade their relentless pursuit of our cultural icon.
Living Legend Roland, is straight from his science fair, sporting a 1997 Metallica Concert T-shirt. Did he borrow it from Uncle Tiny's closet?

Dear Tiny...
With 57 years of marriage - and ZERO divorces - between them, Tiny and the Prince of Pittsburgh have seen and done it all! Now - for the first time - they are willing to share the secrets of their success in dating, love, marriage and living happily ever after. What puzzles you? They can show you the path to true happiness! Nothing is out of bounds. Have you ever wondered how to...? Go ahead and ask - they have the answers! Your real name will be kept private, and the best questions will be answered on the podcast. If you want to drop the fellas a note, feel free to leave it here.
In his never-ending desire to serve you, his loyal subjects, the Prince of Pittsburgh has mounted a quest for the holy grail of dive bar sustenance - the perfect pizza. Henceforth, The Prince will eat as much pizza required to make a comprehensive evaluation of the pies offered by bars, restaurants, and parlors in the four-state area of his domain. Six attributes will be evaluated on a 1-10 scale for a possible perfect score of 60.
