You sucked.

Two of the “You Posted” photos from the bastard child of Pete Townsend and William Demarest have been taken down. Yes, the one of him laying on the bed in his undies and the other of him standing with the pee spot on his undies are no longer there. How unfortunate. I don’t know if he took them down of if someone at the P-G had them removed.

At least the “Chilling” photo of him on the couch with the “Damn I’m good” coffee mug is still there.

As 2008 quickly draws to a close, it is once again time for my annual predictions for the coming year.

1. Erin Ravenstahl will file for divorce after growing tired of the Mayor’s insistence that Guy Costa change Cooper’s diapers as part of his punishment for his “payback is a bitch” episode.
2. President Obama will appoint Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell to the newly created cabinet-level position of Hoagie Czar. Although the White House press release will defend his appointment to the position based on the Governor’s vast experience ingesting hoagies, President Obama will be caught on an open mic saying, “The only time this bag of wind stops talking is when there’s food in his mouth, so I made up a job for him like that to shut him up.”
3. A false advertising lawsuit will be filed against the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center by Pittsburgh resident Frank Subinski. Papers filed by attorney Jim Ecker on Mr. Subinski’s behalf will state that the UPMC Minute is actually only thirty seconds in length and will seek $1 million in damages or an additional thirty seconds of gripping staged medical reporting.
4. Plumbing contractors trying to locate a leaking pipe in the basement of WTAE-TV will discover a shrine to Wendy Bell left by former news director Bob Longo. Although WTAE management will not comment on the shrine’s existence, one of the contractors will describe the “hot pink, canary yellow and neon orange” colored shrine as containing photographs, a locket of hair, flowers and candles labeled with such phrases as “insincere grin,” “feigned concern” and “cackle.”
5. Tunesmith will double the total of his blogging output of the last two years by writing ten posts in 2009.
6. Brian Jackson, the man charged with theft by deception in 2005 and 2006 for impersonating Ben Roethlisberger, Jerame Tuman and Brian St. Pierre will make headlines again when he grants KDKA radio host Marty Griffin an exclusive interview, purporting to be PittGirl. Despite sensing something may be amiss, Griffin will air the highly touted exclusive interview and later defend himself, saying, “How was I supposed to know he wasn’t PittGirl? He was wearing an ‘I am PittGirl’ t-shirt!”
7. I will find a job. It, too, will suck ass.
8. Italian-American and Mexican-American anti-defamation organizations will unite and win an injunction against Rachael Ray, prohibiting the television personality from creating and disseminating any more recipes for ghastly, non-Italian and non-Mexican dishes such as Mexican lasagna and Mexican pizza.
9. Actress, singer and cabaret star Eartha Kitt will die.
10. Panic and horror will spread throughout Steeler Nation when Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin responds to a reporter’s question in a tone that is not dripping in excessive confidence and authority.

Ever wonder what Dire Straits’ “Sultans of Swing” sounds like on the keytar? Wonder no more!
