Twitter in Focus: Fahim Anwar

by tonyd on April 6, 2016 at 12:01 am

Hey Bros!

Welcome to Twitter in Focus where media comes to die. Today’s contestant is comedian Fahim Anwar. Let’s see what he’s tweeting.

@fahimanwar

April 1st: “Shoutout to Daredevil for bringing stabbing back.”

Really? They gave him a knife instead of that baton that allows him to swing around the city? What does he stab into buildings? I gotta see that show.

April 1st: “If I were Daredevil I’d say “STOP, I’M BLIND!!!!” the minute I started to get the shit kicked out of me.”

Well, it’s likely he gets the jump on everyone because he gets a better parking space.

April 1st: “Check me out on @thecarmichaelshow this Sunday! It’s a great episode the lovely @thegynomite wrote!”

Nice. I have to watch that show.

April 1st: “Bloomington, IN! I’m at the @comedyattic tonight and tomorrow! Click on their Twitter, go to the website and ya know…fuckin’ figure it out”

Damn, I was gonna go. But if I have to click…

April 1st: “Walking around the IU campus. Everyone looks 12. And some of the 12 year olds are balding.”

Damn dude. You can never go back.

April 1st: “A fun game if laws or ethics didn’t exist would be to see if you could locate and murder someone solely based off their snapchat feed.”

It could be a GTA 5 plugin.

April 2nd: “Hey Bloomington, how many weird and specific banks does your town have?”

Ah, so that’s where America’s money is stored.

April 2nd: “so this is one of the best live performances ever: https://youtu.be/GK4lD3Uf8_o & this is one of the best remixes ever: http://awe.sm/aP7IC”

He sorta reminds me of this guy, only with hair.

April 2nd: “Bloomington! 2 more shows tonight @comedyattic. I forgot to pack a comb but I’m buying one today. My shit will look dope. Don’t miss it.”

Man, he is burning up Twitter.

April 2nd: “It’s cool how the Final Four is being played on a giant karate tournament mat.”

If a fight breaks out, no one gets hurt.

April 3rd: “Waiters will say “Hope you saved room for dessert” no matter the time of day. Bitch I just had pancakes.”

Well, maybe you have to open your mind up to different desserts. After pancakes, maybe a salad?

April 4th: “Guys, I drove to Del Taco in D3 the whole time. Boy do I have egg on my face.”

Is that the opposite of 3D?

Okay, let’s rate Fahim’s tweets. First, he is on it. Tweeting away. Minimum plugs, plenty of genuineness. I give him an 8 for Style, a 7 for Insanity and a 9 for Mustness. That’s an overall score of 8. Follow Fahim.

And if you have a suggestion for Twitter in Focus, email me here.

Fat Guy Eats: The Phily Diner

by tonyd on April 4, 2016 at 12:19 am

Restaurant: The Phily Diner

Address: 31 S Black Horse Pike, Runnemede, NJ 08078

Price: Average

Portions: Decent

Taste: Very Good

Service: Excellent

Atmosphere: Diner/Sports Bar

I have a long history with the Phily Diner. (And it’s pronounce Fie-Lee, not Philly because of the one “L”.) It’s always been one of my regular stops for a late night nosh and over the years it’s changed quite a bit. When it first opened, it was your standard NJ diner covered in chrome. The food was good and the 50’s nostalgia was standard for a place that size. Then a while back (I’m guess more than five, but less than ten years ago?) they expanded the place and added a Sports bar/nightclub. I’ve never seen a place like that. You could, potentially, go out drinking with your friends and party and then hit a diner afterwards all in the same building. This has made (at times) the atmosphere a bit loud for a diner. Between the occasional live band, sporting event or Jersey Shore extra rejects, this old man avoids the place on Friday and Saturday nights.

But in the last few years, the Phily has really upped its food game. (Although, for a while a few years ago, they did have those battered French Fries which I detest.) The menus seems to be constantly evolving. Case in point, soup comes with just about every meal or sandwich. I ordered the Italian Club. It was basically an Italian hoagie in triple decker form with pesto mayo. Fries and a pickle on the side. Pretty good, although I couldn’t really taste the pesto. The Missus had a BLT and one of their custom shakes. If you’re a milkshake person, this is one of the menu highlights. They’ve got about eight custom ones and other standards you can order. The soup was Minestrone or Chicken Vegetable. I had the latter and it was fine.

Our waiter was super extra friendly. He brought me a steady stream of iced teas and delivered service with a smile, despite the fact that they were very busy. You gotta appreciate that. They also have various bakery goods because they have a bakery on the premises, plus a complimentary cookie on the way out the door. To me, the Phily is the perfect place for a late night nosh because you can also order the long list of bar foods from the sports bar next door. The parking lot gets a little cramped at times, but the diner is a South Jersey favorite. You should stop by.

I give the Phily Diner 9 out of 10 keggers.
