    NO DRUNKEN SURFING IN WARD 8!
  • Should Spike spend less time courting the myopic little twit demographic and more time cooking food that doesn't suck? MAYBE!
  • Kev29
    "Like a child star who ends up doing second-rate sitcoms his whole life, Good Stuff's offense is its failure to fulfill its potential."

    Reminds me, any update on Spike's Joey Lawrence themed loose meat sandwich shop, "Sloppy Whoa's?"
  • Is That Your Bag?
    Reminds me, any update on Spike's Joey Lawrence Keanu Reeves themed loose meat sandwich shop, "Sloppy Whoa's?"

    Fixed that for you.
  • You're thinking of his '70s sitcom themed vibrant brand of urbanism colon hydrotherapy spa, "What's Crappenin!!"

  • I'm just here for the snark
    Well TBD continues it's slow, agonizing decline.
  • Kev29
    That implies it had some succes to decline from.
  • alexalexalexalexalex
    Although their coverage of the Black Cat Bill scandal was spot on.
  • I'm just here for the snark
    It just seems they've had an influx of fluff watering down their news.
  • Over the River
    it took me a while to realize this picture was a giant poop!

  • BombaySplashVermouth
    That be the modern honey wagon delivering the good stuff.
  • deleted

    [That is all I have to add to this post.]™

    There goes the advertising campaign for "Santa's bones burbon".
  • I'm just here for the snark
    Do D.C. building codes apply in McPherson Square? No, but that doesn't really matter.

    Since voting rights didn't pan out THIS is what we're doing?
  • knackers
    Think bourbon butternut squash, kickin' buffalo chicken or chocolate chipotle

    I'd rather not. Can't you do a good old mystery meat (is it cow? is it roo? dog?) pie, complete with Four n' Twenty's trademarked gristle, and runny gravy? Then, nuke the f*cker until it is either burning hot on the outside and frozen in the middle (the classic "Tuck Shop Lunch" pie), or cold on the outside and scalding hot in the middle (greater degree of difficulty, the specialist "Standing in the Heatley Stand and Spilling the Contents All Over Your Jumper" pie).
  • From the crazy laws list: "No person shall conduct or take part in any race, dance, or contest in which any individual shall participate for more than a total of twelve (12) hours in any consecutive twenty-four (24) hours."

    Damn, I was looking forward to the next Jefferson Memorial dance marathon.
  • knackers
    See, and I thought the 24 on/72 off shift cycle for dancing was supposed to be the best.
  • DCTransplant
    Spike has a ginger beard, Martin has a ginger beard, coincidence? I think not!
  • knackers
    You know who else had a ginger beard?
  • Foxy boxing is okay, but not opposite sex boxing?  There's no justice in DC.
  • Councilmember Tommy Wells (D-Ward 6) is not OK with the H Street NE streetcar running up Third Street NE.

    That's because it's the worst...idea...ever.
  • Kev29
    Yeah, that idea is never going to fly. Those streets are made up of some pretty tony houses, selling at high prices. It's as if DDOT said, "hey the Circulator swings through that neighborhood, why not the streetcar when it's up and running in 2075?"

    [I just wanted to use the word 'tony' in this post.]
  • Over the River
  • DCTransplant
    but chef spike is already the city's top dweeb.
  • betweenloveandlike
    and the top twerp
  • Not sure if this building will make me actually visit White Flint or just keep staying away.

    Looks like a rejected ziggurat design.
  • Between us and the churning vapors of the west lay that monstrous tangle of dark stone towers, its outre and incredible forms impressing us afresh at every new angle of vision. It was a mirage in solid stone, and were it not for the photographs, I would still doubt that such a thing could be.

  • Over the River
    I guess this means I need to start reading H. P. Lovecraft. Writing like that deserves to be read.
  • I can recommend some places to start, if you like.
  • Over the River
    Thank you. I shall add them to the Over the River bibliothèque.
  • Over the River
    Very thoughtful of you, yes please. I'm not a horror fan, but epic Science Fiction would be welcome.
  • I suggest trying two or three to get a good feel for HPL: "Dagon," "The Rats in the Walls," and "Pickman's Model." If those appeal, then I recommend "The Colour out of Space" and "The Shadow over Innsmouth" next. Keep in mind that HPL is a modernist, even though he writes within the bounds of weird fiction, so he's dealing with many of the issues that other modernists did.
  • Joan Arkham
    Rejected Ziggurat were much better before they signed to a major.
  • Is That Your Bag?
    Yeah, I saw them at the 9:25 Club (it's like the 9:30 Club, but not..you've probably never heard of it) when they opened for Dismemberment Plan, and they were pretty rockin'.  I've moved on to bands that aren't born yet.  This scarf's itchy.
  • BombaySplashVermouth
    Bad medicinal Babbit cocktails the night before drawing the design.
  • CJ_Scudworth
    a pie CSA

    Hot damn! CSA on a whale cake next?

    Oh...wait, I get it.

  • Kev29
    I've read that General Sherman's Army sampled plenty of CSA pie back in the Autumn of 1865.

    Too soon?
  • Joan Arkham
    Too soon?

    In DC, no. In Richmond...git a rope!
  • I heard General Sherman was rather tasty.

  • Beat me to it.  Damn you.
  • CJ_Scudworth
    You have to wake up pretty early in the morning to beat me to oblique historical references.
  • DC_Dawg
    "There's an anti-Semite on the loose in Cleveland Park."

    Sounds like the name of the next Woodie Allen film.
  • Is That Your Bag?
    Hide ya kids, hide ya wife...

  • DonKeysHoTea
    one of the all time great bad movies!
  • Over the River
    I liked it.
  • poopieface
    DC's weirdest law: gun registration.
