"Metro is warning people about a jump in robberies on the system recently"
Well, that's what happens when you let gypsies into the country (They taught me to think like that in the WTOP comment threads).
I will look on your treasures, gypsy. Is this understood?
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
Michael Jackson is in heaven now.
Try again.
If he knew there were cherubs in heaven, he might have been better behaved
assuming he understood (and acted on) the notion that cherubs are best enticed by good behavior.
And Jesus Juice!
On a random note, I just moved to DC and saw a bunch of people (~80) running eastward on P Street just off Dupont Circle. Anyone know the particular group involved?
Were they trying to catch the last S9 bus?
Sounds like a Hash run. Hash House Harriers
Farrah and Micheal. Rest in peace.
Long live feathered hair and the moonwalk.
Indeed!
To commemorate their passing, I'm watching Logan's Run and The Wiz this weekend. And looky here! Saturn 3 is on Netflix Instant Watch!
No Burning Bed?
I believe it was rodent "small donations" that got Bread for the City in trouble in the first place.
find it creepy that so many people are going totally crazy about Michael Jackson's death. As far as I'm concerned the talented 'king of pop' who made such good music and set so many trends for the industry died A LONG TIME AGO! I don't know how anyone can look at a recent picture of that guy and not laugh... Whatever it was we were seeing called Michael Jackson post-1990, that looked more alien then human, is not worth mourning. Even before the scandals and bizare facial changes, Michael Jackson's music was really not that spectacular outside of "Thriller" and a few other singles from other early albums... But that's just my humble opinion...
Our top story tonight - Michael Jackson is still dead.
Has anyone tried hitting alt-ctrl-delete?
You sir- know nothing about music. MJ played the soundtrack of my life.
Kids today have it too easy with all their fancy Internet porn. When I was a boy, all I had to get me through puberty was Farrah's poster with the nipple.
If someone pleasures themselves to Farrah's poster today, is it a nostalgic tribute or plain bad taste. Just asking.
Why can't it be both? The key to enlightenment is finding the sacred in the profane, which is why I'll be chiseling apart Farrah's nipple poster this evening, playing with my Hot Wheels, and seeing if I can find my Micronauts. It's about time they got a new lease on life. Unfortunately, after the Quantum-of-Shakeycam nausea-inducing travesty that is Transformers: Rise of the Fallen Wind-up Toy Goatses, I can't stomach the thought of even bothering to play with my Series 1 Megatron.
King of pop.
