What’s That You Say?

Photo by Kevin H..Afternoon, ladels and jellyspoons! It’s once again time for your weekly roundup of all things comment: What’s That You Say? Alright, I’m willing to chalk up the cranky comments about the merits of using “natch” (on that note: demonfafa, it’s okay to abbreviate “in real life” to “IRL,” but not shorten “naturally” to “natch”?) to a lack of caffeine or something. But RJ was the real star of Thursday’s Morning Roundup…

What’s That You Say?

Photo by staceyviera.What’s up, people? It’s time, once again, to venture down comment lane and check out the best and brightest from our post-jump adventures from this past week. Of course, the big talk this week revolved around the bill recognizing same-sex marriage in the District, which passed through the City Council. Later in the week, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Congress shouldn’t intervene with the new law. All of you (and Jon Stewart, natch)…

What’s That You Say?

Photo by zeul. Hmm, it seems like the right time to lug the trusty ol’ machine which spits out the week’s best comments out of storage, and give her a whirl — and What’s That You Say? has got the keys to start the engine. Vroom vroom. This last week was a feisty one in the comments — what was going on out there? Oh yeah, that whole influenza panic, right. You all should…

What’s That You Say?

Photo by dcstriving.It’s a lovely weekend out there. What better way to enjoy it than by taking a look back at our favorite conversations which occurred within the black space of the sunless internet in What’s That You Say? So kick back, put some aloe on that sunburn you cultivated yesterday, and bask in the cool commentalicious goodness ahead. When it comes to oft-criticized District institutions, Nationals ownership is inching ever-closer to the D.C….

What’s That You Say?

Photo by ::FIZ::.Good afternoon out there in the commentopolis. It’s time, once again, for your weekly look at the best contributions from the last week of posts here at DCist. Hmm, well, there were lots of good stories in the news this week, but when you can combine a former D.C. councilman, peeing, alleged racial slurs, tattoo parlors and Georgetown, well, you better believe that we’re looking forward to those comments. Thanks to Harold…

What’s That You Say?

Photo by Colusite. Howdy out there — it’s yet again time to review the best of your contributions to our little corner of the internet. As usual, your reactions didn’t disappoint; so grab a cold beverage and prepare yourself for the commentey goodness ahead of you. There’s nothing that really makes you want to go out and grab the paper more than a nice juicy scandal, even though not all scandals are created equal….

What’s That You Say?

Photo by coolsneakers2000. Welcome to What’s That You Say?, where we take all the silly (and occasionally pertinent) things you people say during the week, put them together so everyone can read them for a second time, and bask in the fuzzy feeling that only such manual back-scratching can provide. Fred Phelps and his cadre of fanatics were in town earlier this week, protesting local high schools in an attempt to yell at teenagers…

What’s That You Say?

Photo by ep_jhu.Afternoon, fellow commentarians. There was a virtual explosion of comments this week which deserved special recognition, but, we can only include so many of them — read on, if you will. Speaking of explosions, there was a filmed one this week on the Potomac, which for some reason was incredibly big news. (Hey, if obsessing over large balls of flames is wrong, we don’t want to be right.) stmove, though, didn’t seem…

What’s That You Say?

Photo by esshots. That’s right folks, we’re back and here to stay, with our new slot on Saturday. It’s been quite some time since we last talked, but hey, what’s a few months between friends? (Hey, you clamor, we listen.) With that out of the way, sit back, grab your second (or, if you’re like us, third) cup of joe and enjoy the best of the week that was amongst the DCist commentariat. This…

What’s That You Say?

[Ed. Note: Those of you who live and die in our famed commentariat might have noticed that we’ve been absent our Monday comment roundup for the last two weeks. Don’t worry — we still love you, and your contributions have been splendid, as usual. That said, we’re doing a little retooling — Sunday afternoons will now be the home of the new streamlined What’s That You Say? If there was ever a feature that we’d…
