Overheard in D.C.: Careful What You Wish For
It can be fun to think about things you'd like in an ideal mate. But sometimes, things sound better than they actually are.
Overheard of the Week
At Asylum, Thursday night:
Female Waitress: "For some reason I have wings coming out my ass tonight!"
Male Bartender: "That would be a real selling point for chicks. Dude, if you could shit out buffalo wings, I'd marry you."
After the jump, musical instruments, salad, the winner of last weeks' contest, and more.
