A huge “thank you!” to Pittsburgh Unfiltered sponsor AL’S SKILL GAMES PARLOR AND 24/7 EATERY for their generous support to our publication. Remember, as Al always says, “We keep one hot dog spinning, so you can keep on winning!”

Now, you might ask, why should I play Pennsylvania’s fine, and very legitimate, games of skill at Al’s when I can play them at the SHOP n’ SAVE in Bauerstown, my local laundromat, or pretty much anywhere I might have to spend 5-10 minutes?

A fair question, indeed, to which Al shouts from the heavens (while reminding county officials that there is a Hot Pocket in the microwave and that makes his place 100% a state-sanctioned eatery) DEALS! DEALS! DEALS! Look at what you can earn as a V.I.P.:

• TWO menthols of choice for every $100 spent

• One Faygo and bag of knock-off potato chips or potato-like snack for every $150 spent

• A $20 gift card to AL’S KARAOKE BAR AND, AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, STEAKHOUSE for every short-term, high-interest personal loan to you take out via AL’S MONEY LENDING AND FRIENDLY PERSON CENTER

Can you beat deals as good as these?! Like Al says, who cares, you piece of shit — just keep pounding that ‘PLAY’ button!
