- Milk? Check.
- Stack of books and magazines? Check.
- Blanket? Check.
- Christopher Elbow spiced drinking chocolate? Check.
- Leftover tortilla pie and shoo fly pie? Check.
- Lawnchair to stake out parking spot? Tomorrow’s problem.
Bring it on.
UPDATE: Karl over at Philly Future is compiling a fun list of weblogger storm coverage. Sure beats Hurricane Schwartz.

Just rain and ice here
Months later, when all of Philadelphia is a slushy mess, will Becky retract the “bring it on” statement claiming that it was an error?
I just saw on the news that the Philadelphia airport is shut down. And then they interviewed some guy who said all he needs to survive is “water, milk and tastykakes!”
In reference to our wager, I don’t think Vick can play in the snow, so I’ll have to be looking for something to send off..
Yeah, I just saw news footage of the Falcons arriving at their hotel. Naturally, the fine citizens of Philadelphia were harassing them about not being able to handle the cold and the snow.
I look forward to getting some crushed beer cans.
Ha! Here’s the story behind the beer cans.
I like the snow. I say, bring on more of it!
Shoo fly pie… I *still* don’t know what that is after 3 years of living in Amish country (nor do I want to). I’d like Philly back, please.
wtf is shoo fly pie?????
I can’t believe that Neil typed wtf on this weblog. It’s all too shocking. See what’s left of the shoo fly pie.
Shoo fly pie is a molasses-based, very sweet dessert from Lancaster County, PA. This pie comes from the Bird-in-Hand Bakery via Reading Terminal Market.
It’s not for everyone, but you can’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it (ahem, Ami). Make sure you get yours “wet bottom.”
If the FDA continues its assault on sugar-based products, shoo-fly pie will no doubt be banned in all 50 states.
It looks so lovely. And quiet.
Michele and Kristen sent me! Glad to have found you.
As someone who partially consumed the shoo fly pie–I can attest to it’s tastiness. Becky forgot to mention the amazing avacado salad that went with the tortilla pie. I turned my take-home portion into a nacho topper (delicious) as I watched the Eagles finally win the NFL playoff. Wait to bet on the home team Becky! Can’t wait to hear what Jen will send. Breast crushed beer cans? How will you know?
Wait to bet? What is wrong with me. Most be the dazzling snowblindness from walking to work.
now i am even more confused…(but more restrained in my expletives)…what is “wet bottom”…this sounds vaguely rude or titilating…not at all what i expect from this la-de-da blog.
Heh, I was kidding about the expletives (this being a la-de-da blog, I’m rarely serious). Good Grief! is not above rude or titilating content, but wet-bottom is a legit way to describe shoo fly pie. I found an explanation here:
Wet bottom shoo fly pies are for locals. Dry bottom shoo fly pies are suitable for international shipment, providing the receiving party enjoys sugar-flavoured sand in his letter box. I don’t have the heart to tell mom to stop sending the things to Ireland. I just keep scooping the remnants out of the box and mixing them into Irish ice cream. It’s quite tasty and a unique ice cream mash-up.
