The Great and Powerful Steakbellie is gonna be at Dorney Park? Wow. I remember back in '82 when he took on all comers at the burrito challenge. Eat two burritos and ride the pirate ship three times without puking. Dude was there all day, 12 - 0 record and still had an icy for dessert. I say Steakbellie is a the champ if Joey Chestbump takes a dive at Cheesesteak four. With wiz for Steakbellie! Mr. Buttersquirts has spoken. Sidebar: Wing Bowl stinks like my Grandma!

Governor Hippo will have you unemployed and eating wild flowers. Your kids will be ragamuffin creatures from a Dickens novel. New Jersey will be the Mississippi of the East Coast.

Note to Mayor Nutter. How about a cheesesteak tax to go along with the soda tax? Kiss re-election goodbye.
