...have a really good show. You see, Pennsylvania is coming to town. No, Virginia, not the entire state of Pennsylvania or Virginia. Of course I mean the University of Pennsylvania, that Ivy League school in the City of Brotherly Love. The city of losers--the 76ers, the Phillies, Frank Rizzo, and long-sleeve Lacoste shirts...
