I'll be the first and only person to make an "emergence hole" joke. Anyone have an emergency chainsaw lancer on them?

I drove down that block this morning, glad they waited to collapse it 'til later...

How sad is it that the first thing I thought of was CHUD. AND I come here and 30 people have beaten to the punch. Wow. CHUD, je t'aime.

@ Big L: I agree. How does a street -- which is located on the ground, after all -- collapse? Buildings collapse. Bridges collapse. Housing markets collapse. But streets tend to sort of erode, or become giant potholes. Is this like a sink hole? Need input.

Black Hole in Switzerland = Street collapse in Tenleytown. Seems pretty straight forward.

When you're running from cops when you're underage, it's tough not to spill it.

I did go to a lot of parties at a fraternity house right around there. But that was quite a few years ago. Maybe all the beer everyone spilled had something to do with it? Isn't alcohol slowly corrosive?

Cherchez la CHUD. Don't you people get tired of saying that? I suppose it's just a coincidence that this so-called "street collapse" happens mere blocks away from a documented locus of arsenic-eating morlock activity, Ft. Reno Park. How many more street collapses and Metro tunnel fires is it going to take before we get serious and have Thomas the Tank engine round up these albino bastards and put them in camps?

I blame AU students, they're idiots, it has to be their fault somehow.

A pig hoven has collapsed - they were shopping for lipstick at the time.
