We were gathered here, this weekend, to celebrate the “union” of two of the internet-universe’s brightest stars, Maxie and LiLu.
From kingdoms far and wide — Texas, Toronto, Boston, Narnia, Philly, Florida, Virginia, and Neverland (just to name a few) — people descended upon DC by the dozens to witness two lovebirds take flight.
And I guess [...]

old men say the darndest things

In your readers, there is a post about a neighbor of mine.
The post is a lighthearted joke about him finding a lady to spend some time with. I wrote it Monday, a few days after having invited him into our home for a drink for the first time, after we had been talking, and talking [...]

Gimme an F: “F!”That’s right an R and then two E’s.I need a Verse: “Verse!”Just soul clap and sing with me:“We want it Fri–
We now interrupt your regularly scheduled programming for a special announcement.
I am a ruh-tard.
And, well, I had never done karaoke before. Until last Friday. When LiLu made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.
We were at [...]
call my bluff
Posted in DC, don't take me seriously, tagged pedestrians (like rules) were made to be broken, walkers walkers everywhere and not a brake in sight on October 5, 2009 | 20 Comments »
Let’s say I don’t want to. Let’s say that pedestrians have the privilege to survive crossing the street but not the right. Let’s say that as the man behind the wheel of the vehicle, I have all the power that actually matters and I want to flex some muscle; that the only reason I Zipcar’d [...]
Metro commute #345,671
Posted in DC, Metro on October 1, 2009 | 24 Comments »
People continually over-scent themselves and then jam into crowded train cars. Today was no different. A woman on the train had gotten slaphappy with her fragrance of choice.
Our actual conversation went like this.
me: *manly sneeze*
lady: *unaware of surroundings*
And then it ended. Without recourse. Like many before it. I should’ve a) let her know about it, [...]
i’m a hater
Posted in DC, sports, tagged i hate - let me count the ways, Redskins, Tim Tebow on September 28, 2009 | 15 Comments »
Hater tots: I eat ‘em; with melted cheese and ketchup. And when my plate is empty, I’m Oliver Twist. I can’t help it, really. It’s a disease. But I don’t want a cure.
Case in point: I hate the DC sports market. I have had to suffer through more Wizards and Redskins games than I can [...]
i can’t believe it’s not Thursday

Yesterday was, um, not the greatest of days. Might as well just admit it. It meant I didn’t read nearly as many of your posts as I would want to; that I suffered a long absence on GChat;¹ that I missed a happy hour I really needed. Once home, I set the rhythm, 2nd guitar [...]
my newest invention: the bathroom
Posted in DC, evolution, out and about on September 22, 2009 | 22 Comments »
It’s not like I live in a metropolitan area or anything. I mean, everyone knows DC’s reputation for being the boondocks.¹ We’re unimpressed with sewage treatment and as for running water, well, we prefer our water wellish, stagnant and chock full of encephalitis-carrying ’squitos.
So I should not have been surprised, on my walk home last [...]
you are not my hair

Dear DC metro area,
If you think I’m hairy, and you wanna groom me, come on, city, let me know.¹
I am not hairy. And I don’t mean “I am not hairy” like a creepy guy who insists “I’m not that hairy; my mom says I just got visited a lot by the Hair Fairy when I [...]

(This is a true story and so I tried my best not to be unnecessarily graphic, but if real blood loss isn’t your thing…)
I was looking right at him but almost didn’t notice when he fell. It just happened so fast.
We were walking home, headed east on New York Avenue, just about a third of [...]
