What’s happening out there in comment-land? After another soggy weekend, it may dishearten you to know that we’re slated for much of the same for at least the beginning of this week. But don’t worry, all that means is that you can stay dry inside, cuddle up close to your keyboards, and keep pounding out those oh-so-witty remarks that we love you for.

It’s been duly noted that we here at What’s That You Say? are big fans of pandering. Yup, we’ll totally be the first ones to admit that we’ve included comments because they suck up to things or places that we like – or us, for that matter. In that vein, this week’s Comment of the Week comes from OldNameWontWinUsernameOfTheWeek, who had a really good week, cramming the threads with astute observations such as the following, regarding the possibility of a meter installation extension for cabbies:

There should be a taxi frequent rider program where you get points for each dollar you spend that can be spent on upgrades. Like, a seat that you don’t stick to in the summer: 100 points. The ability to call a cab that comes within 2 hours during non-peak times: 150 points. They could exchange with Amtrak Guest Rewards so I could succeed in having hundreds of thousands of the most worthless points ever. Every ride in a cab that doesn’t have a meter is a $1000 fine to the city and a 1000 point fine to the rider. Effective May 1.

Of course, this wasn’t the award he or she was aiming for, but hopefully the honor will be enough.

After the jump, we’ve got a new Harris Teeter (w00t!), hate crimes in Georgetown (anti-w00t), and “Chevy Chase switched over to panicking yell-into-the-mic-to-take-cover” (guh, w00t? I guess?).
