Kevin Costner's Russian's Rusty: Washington DC Metropolitan Area Thread II

Has anyone seen the line up for the "Millions More Movement" concert at the MCI Center? Its pretty ridiculous

If I had any money to spare right now, I would be there in a heartbeat. PE, Slick Rick, Whodini, Big Daddy Kane, Snoop all on the same bill? Insane.

After handing him a copy of Suzanne Vega's greatest hits (he was looking for "Tom's Diner"), he looked at me sheepishly and said "I'm just lookin' for some songs to jam in my car." No explanation necessary, dude.

Maybe he has a problem with Farrakhan's 10th Anniversary of Pointlessness March...

we sometimes ordered food from cafe asia when working late and i was not a fan. walking by it, it looks like the ikea of pan asian restaurants and it seems odd that it should be a happening spot for 20 somethings after work.

maybe you should campaign for a dc fap at uni's $1 sushi happy hour and give cafe asia a run for its money.

Ya'll have been giving the lawyers a hard time, but where is the hate for the FEDS? Tombot, I know you suffer the fed pain, so bring ont the HATE!

Having never worked with the Federal Government, I have no grounds from which to make a jibe thereupon.

DC trivia - After the US Government, who is the biggest landowner in DC?

is it a university?

The long-haul feds don't bug me as much as the short-term profiteers, who're much more likely to be found screaming orders at my bartender and mistaking themselves for interesting people.

Yeah, the striped shirt clowns are a whole other tangent that I choose not to deal with. Much like the popped-collar clowns. Tools. I actually tried on one of those blocky collar and cuff striped oxfords a few months ago, and I felt...dumber. Like my ability to express myself was being lost in the intersecting lines on my back.

Weekends in DC are best spent with a good sixer from someplace and watching movies/sports. Weeknights are the new weekends. Theres 2.5 as many of them!

You know my balcony's as enjoyable as any of those places, Z. Ten times as much.

I went to play pool at this awful place in downtown Silver Spring and could only stand like 20 minutes of it--how is one supposed to play pool without cigarettes?

And actually, it's looking more and more like the much-debated DC smoking ban is going to go through, so even the Metro will not save you. Sorry dude.

One thing is for certain: VA will NEVER ban smoking in bars. Phillip Morris swings a big stick in the Old Dominion.

OMG D00D HOYA LAWYA HOUSE PARTY SO WHAT DO YOU DO WHERE DID YOU GO TO SCHOOL LOL PWND

Aw. But that's a good thing surely. You on Myspace?

Earlier this week I was so hyped about an open house for a place in Logan Circle and then dude forgot to send me the details, but I got the mass thank you message saying "sorry, we already picked someone," and then I was in a super shitty mood all evening. I hate this whole process, it feels like trying to win some weird popularity contest, and it's like people, I'm OK, I promise! I'm not that annoying! I'm just shy when meeting random strangers and trying to convince them they should let me live in their house!

Shoot me a line if you're going up to Dremo's any time soon. I worked there this summer, and am in there all the time.

i've heard nothing good about comcast's customer service, though nothing has broken yet on our verizon stuff, and i'm sure verizon is just as bad.

that would be the main difference I've encountered between comcast and verizon, is that my verizon dsl doesn't get fucking hosed once or twice every month.

*knocks wood*

all these places have terrible customer service. if yr place is not already wired for cable (and looks can be deceiving--if you haven't actually plugged in the cable and checked to see if it is outputting anything, don't assume it's still wired) it'll be a drama to get cable internet.

tho the downside of testing this out is that you might discover that you already HAVE basic cable because comcast forgot to turn it off and then you will not want to call and get internets because if you call then they will KNOW you are stealing cable and will start charging you u_u

verizon seems equally annoying but they also want a year contract & i'm like no

I have free internets most of the time. Sometimes not, depending on whether my friendly/unaware neighbor has her wireless running.

dudes, get comcast for a short-ass pd of time at whatever intro rate theyll give you, then when they jack it up, call and be like "ooh, please cancel," and theyll be like "ooh why?" and you be like "i just cant pay more than 19.99," and theyll do this game where they go "please hold," and come back with a lower rate, from like 39.99 to 34.99 to 29.99 to 24.99, and i think down to 19.99. you just gotta believe. i stopped at 29.99, but my friend got it down to 19.99, just by believing in herself.

One more

How do I shot getting rid of my car??

I thought about coming down to see Mets this weekend at RFK, but Thermo is coming to NY with baseball tix. Also, I have spent too much this summer.

xpost to dar1a

Yeah but the next question would be "how do I shot getting rid of Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy?" so I don't know if that's a good trade-off.

fuck owen wilson, fuck the dolphin, and fuck you

i was kind of hoping that gr was implying eddie murphy and owen wilson were morbius and thermo actually.

I do not hang out with uptown drag performers.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YES

i would pay 50 bucks to see that movie

If we all pay 50 bucks; we can make that movie.

it costs more than $200 to blow up a car like that, ed

no no just film it in front of a blue screen and photoshop everything in during editing

thx for that ;)

so what, i ask owen and eddie to blow up my car, or steal my car? i am not sure which car is mine, in this scenario

BEAUTIFUL.

Ok that picture rules

guys i think i saw everyone i know besides pete tonight on the street or at the black cat.

overheard just now:

b.: when are we having that meeting again?
i.: prrrrrrrrrobably at 3:47? but i have to check.

?????????????

Wait, where was Pete? Was he pondering which next pair of horrible shoes to purchase?

the order of the words on those questions was HORRIBLE. Mah bad.

Pete rulez yo

I saw that kid come out of the hospital in our mother's arms. I BEEN knowing that he rules.

His taste in shoes, however, leaves something to be desired.

i've never even noticed his shoes

I am constantly offended by his shoes.

I am sure that he is constantly offended by several things of or pertaining to me.

Brotherhood. Watchoogwannadoo?

Next week Wed. thru following week Wed.

The likelyhood of me making it to MN is dwindling.

I am in chicago next weekend. Should I go to the Gay Rodeo Y/N?

From the Where Else But Washington Department: At the store this morning there was a guy wearing a tie-dyed shirt. Upon closer view, the shirt turned out to be overprinted in small white text, ending in something like "--Romans...." And of course he was wearing these with khaki trousers.

Not that I was in any position to play Fashion Police; at the hardware store I wasn't the only one wearing loafers with beige shorts.
