FAQs

Who are you?

I’m Justin. I live in Philly. I like the Phillies.

I’m also the guy behind the food/poop jokes department at nonpretentious, the sports column “Phreak Show” for Philthy Blog: The Unofficial Blog of Philadelphia, and a Mondays-only contributor for Call to the Pen.

I’m always game to do/receive guest posts, so fire away.

I have an irrational fear of ostriches because they look like snakes with giant feathery bodies.

How big of a Phillies fan are you? Really?

I just got a copy of Darren Daulton’s “If They Only Knew” and I’m actually reading it.

I’m a bigger Phillies fan than you.

Really? Then go start your own blog. There’s like a billion on the Phillies alone. Literally anyone can do it.

Did you–

Yes, I was at the winning World Series game in 2008. Oh, and I was at the one where Jimmy Rollins hit the game winning double in Game 5 of the NLCS against the Dodgers. And I was at the one where somebody threw a hot dog and it hit Luke Scott in the back and he tried to get the umpire to stop the game. Oh, and the one where a guy had to leave because he was holding a sign that said “I have a dead hooker in my trunk.”

I also worked at Citizens Bank Park as one of those FanFoto guys for two months. Don’t do it. Its not as fun as you’d think. Unless you’re smarter than me and you’d already deduced that being on your feet for three hours, asking strangers if they want their picture taken because you need to meet a quota or that douche with the blown out hair who is somehow your boss will say “Whatever” instead of “You can go home,” is not fun.

What is the craziest Phillies moment you’ve got?

Try this on for size: After the World Series, I watched a man take a glass bottle to the skull and fall off a traffic light.

Meh.

Not good enough? Fine. Shane Victorino once threw a warm up ball to the little girl sitting next to me and I pointed at him, and he pointed back, and we did that for like 30 seconds.

What? That’s weird. Sounds like you have a strange fixation on Shane Victor–

NO IT IS NORMAL I AM JUST A FAN ITS COOL SHUT UP WE’RE FRIENDS I JUST THINK HE’S PRETTY COOL THAT’S ALL.

…….

Good question. I’d say this site’s mission statement would be to provide information about and around the Phillies with the spirit of Philadelphia holding it all together: The elegance of Boathouse Row, the genuineness of a cheese steak, the dedication of crackheads, and the openness of horrifying police brutality.

Who is this “Roommate” you keep referring to?

Roommate is my roommate. He refuses to let me use his real name or image on this site. He is also a Yankees fan. It is unpleasant.

… and this “Barfing Unicorn?”

Every now and again, yeah, okay, my dreams are haunted by a unicorn that barfs rainbows. No, I’m not crazy. When it appears here, it symbolizes intense frustration, disgust, or disappointment with the Philadelphia Phillies organization. No, I’m not crazy. I SAID I’M NOT.

What is a “Phillie”?

Nobody knows.
