All Fired Up

Early yesterday morning, a fierce garage blaze
wreaked havoc on Third Ave. in Arnold.
It knocked out phone and cable lines.
It melted siding off a neighboring home.
It melted the bumper on a late model Ford Focus.
A FORD FOCUS, PEOPLE!
There were a few women that lived about where the blaze
"started."
Lucky for them, it was a cinder block structure, which
allowed them just enough time to be rescued.
It sounds like many people think the blaze is suspicious.
We don't have any thoughts on that.
As that would require us to actually use our brains.
Screw that.
Thankfully, nobody was injured.
Other than the Focus.
A FORD FOCUS, PEOPLE!!!
Tragic.

Random Thursday Thought:
We had a delicious meat pie yesterday.

Newk Choice Awards
Every year, we here at theNewk all come together, and
view the single greatest television spectacle
of the year.
The Super Bowl?
Nah, although we do love commercials.
The Oscars?
Nope, not enough foreign films or technical awards for us.
The Steelers first preseason game?
Negative, although the sounds and wisdoms of the greatest
sports broadcast team of Bob Pompeani and Edmund
Nelson, will never get old.
Vomit.
So if it's none of those, what could it be?
We are glad you asked...
Last night was the Teen Choice Awards, and OMG!, it
was amazing.
Like amazingly amazing.
So amazing.
We had an amazing time as usual, and here are some
of our notes.
- People use the term "amazing" way to much.
- Taylor Swift is super fake.
- We can't figure out why Jason Derulo has to sing
"Jason Derulo" at the beginning of each song he sings.
- Robert Pattinson is dorky and ugly.
- Justin Bieber may be the most annoying human on the planet.
- Ken Jeong is hilarious.
- Katy Perry is wacky and annoying, but is so hot that
we don't really care.
- Megan Fox has thumbs that look like big toes.
(We apologize for ruining her hotness for you.)
- All famous people think they are funny.
- The Betty White thing is getting old.
- Yvonne Strahovski might be the most beautiful woman alive.

There are many more, but our 5 Hour Energy/Vodka shooters
are starting to wear off.
What did you think of the awards?
(Today's post had absolutely nothing to do with
New Kensington. We apologize.)

A Peek Behind The Curtain
This conversation was heard Thursday at 3:07 pm
Squidy: "Hey Newk, what's going on, brother?"
theNewk: "Squidy Squid... what up, man?"
Squidy: "Are you all gonna be posting anything about the 29th Festa Italiana at Mt. St. Pete's this weekend?"
theNewk: "Oh, you know it. We love the Festa Italiana."
Squidy: "I know. I'm thinking of going down there tonight."
theNewk: "Thanks for letting me know, so I can get there before you buy up all the lasagna."
Squidy: "Yeah yeah. I only buy $23 worth of lasagna, so you should be good."
theNewk: "I, as well as the rest of the people going, appreciate your sacrifice."
Squidy: "No problem."
theNewk: "So, what else are you thinking about eating this year?"
Squidy: "You know how I get down. I like it all."
theNewk: "I hear that. So are you gonna play some games, or listen to some live music."
Squidy: "Of course. They have music every night starting at 7pm. And it's free to get in."
theNewk: "There really is a ton of stuff to do there, and the fact that it's free to go, is outstanding."
Squidy: "Can you believe that they even run free shuttles from the Valley parking lot?"
theNewk: "They really do have it all."
Squidy: "Even Chuck-a-luck?"
theNewk: "You know it, Squidy."
Squidy: "Which day will the Newk be going?"
theNewk: "We might just show up Thursday, Friday and Saturday, from 5pm-10pm each day. That's how we roll."
Squidy: "Speaking of rolls, I'm like crazy hungry again."
theNewk: "I know you are, Squidy... I know you are."
This is our life.
Stop being jealous.

We Can See The Light
The light at the end of the Parnassus Triangle
construction tunnel.
Because from what we hear (read), all roadways will
be open for your driving pleasure, by, or after,
September 10th.
That's right.
2+ Years.
8.1 Million Dollars.
Countless Whippings of the Bird.
And you will finally be able to pass someone, while reading
about the latest "special" on Eat N' Park's marquee.
(We can't wait for the Merry Berry Month of May.)
But yeah.
They just poured the concrete on the new bridge over
Little Pucketa Creek, so they claim
the end is nigh.
This construction has been a huge annoyance for
the business and home owners in that area.
As home owners have to listen to constant road work,
and businesses lose money.
But the belief is, that this new stretch of top notch
concrete will revitalize the area, and make it more
attractable to new businesses.
We are all for that.
So here's what we'd like...
As soon as you notice a change down there, snap a picture
with your cell phone, and email it to us here at theNewk.
thenewkblog@gmail.com
We will then post it, and you will be totally famous.
Isn't that what you've always wanted?
Take it from us, there is nothing greater than hometown
fame.
Okay, maybe there are greater things... whatev.
