Peace is Patriotic

It would be great to hear from the young cousins as well, re: political debate heating up the emails at the moment. Also, go vote.

What really matters.

It doesn't matter if you are a democrat a rebulican an independent or green. What matters is that as humans we are losing ground to the monkeys.

Racing....er....Walking for the CURE!!

The team was out in force with all of the usual suspects making an appearance:
Chuck, Minnie, Pat Ball, Steve, Kate, and the Hunt Valley crew. Notably absent were the younger generation, though being in Miami with the Ravens seems like a pretty good excuse. Next year: personalized tees!

Philly Cheesesteak Winner




When you're talking trucks you're talking Koons. When you're talking Philly Cheese steaks you're talking Steve's Prince of Steaks on Baselton Ave in NE Philly. Steve's has the best cheese steaks in the country and the largest cheese steak in the world...seriously.
Like all great food destinations Steve's is a total dump but at least the cashiers are surly. The clientele is a mix of geriatric crazies, black women in light pink scrubs on lunch breaks, and local Philly white trash. There is one arcade game towards the back of the place and for some reason it is X-Men Children of Atom. There are two windows at Steve's: One for ordering cheese steaks with either American or "Whiz", the other for ordering fries and drinks. Make sure you order the cheese steaks first, unlike I did, so that you don't look like a total buffoon, as I did. $5.75 gets you the best cheese steak in the world and all the pickles, banana peppers, and hot sauce you can slather on it.


















If you have a weekend with nothing to do, and you feel like raising your cholesterol 16 points in one sitting, head to Steve's and indulge.






























Notice the X-Men game behind me.

2009 Offical Farrell Mascot Winner!

After months of campaigning, battle royales, and "2nds" at breakfast buffets, the results are finally tallied and the winner for Farrell Family Mascot of the Year 2009 is .... Whiplash!

Whiplash, or as college kids know him "that monkey that rides that dog", won by 1 vote narrowly defeating the squirrel on water skis and the kid from the 80s Elio's Pizza commercials who said the cheese goes "blub, blub, blub."

As our 2009 Mascot you can expect Whiplash to "do his thang" at every wedding, graduation, sporting event, bar mitzfah, family dinner, and child birth. Thank you all for voting, especially Uncle Paul who voted twice for the "Vlasic Pickle Crane", we look forward to next year's competition.
