Is this the line for the riot?

Grimnir August 15, 2008 at 6:18 pm

I’m still waiting for a regular, not craptastic, “things to do in DC” posting to return… can we combine the rioting for mutual benefit?

Or maybe just get an intern that actually leaves the dorm/office/bomb shelter/Obama love shack? We all know Pareene didn’t get invited to those things himself…

Damn! Back to my post lunch coma.

Sorry, everybody! The gruelling cross-country promotional tour that Jeopardy! losers are contractually required to go on takes a lot out of you.

First you take away Purple Butt Girl, now you take away cartoon curmudgeon, what’s next, buttseks? I can’t take that much more grief and loss.

[re=61127]weirdiowasculpture[/re]: They’ll pry the buttsecs from our cold, dead hands. Which, actually, sounds pretty dirty.

[re=61118]jfruh[/re]: Do they at least give you some free Trebek brand mustache wax?

Personally I don’t care about cartoons or their curmudgeons. I lost touch with print media when I traded my dog-eared paperback of Atlas Shrugged to the Paultard chick down the hall for a percocet.

No more bounced checks, Ken. We need our Cartoon Violence.

[re=61106]Grimnir[/re]: You mean bring back some of those Gridskipper featurettes to fill the void?

“Five places to buy toothpaste in DC”
“Man who was once in episode of House seen drinking coffee in DC” (see dot on map)
“Going to Helsinki or Stockholm soon? Lucky you. When you get back, we will tell you more about DC.”

This sendoff into a lost weekend definitely qualifies as more of a whimper than a “bang”.

[re=61141]The Incomparable Tiny Valdez[/re]: Who is John Galt, anyway?

PeteJayhawk v2.0 August 15, 2008 at 7:48 pm

[re=61106]Grimnir[/re]: If you live in DC and relied on “Things To Do in DC” for your social calendar, you’ve got other problems that need to be addressed first.

The Incomparable Tiny Valdez August 15, 2008 at 8:18 pm

[re=61166]V572625694[/re]: I forgot. But I think he developed a successful line of hair care products.

I can still get my Fruhlinger fix from the curmudgeonly one’s glorious blog. Hot damn, this Mary Worth storyline has gotten me all hot and bothered.

But, she’s so two dimensional…..

No depth to look at here folks, move along…….

[re=61118]jfruh[/re]: We understand if you’re a little emotionally drained after your loss. Here, my friend Al wrote you a sympathy song.

[re=61151]wheelie[/re]: DC sounds so titillating.

TrokNutz! So we are denied a JF Dadaist snark about political cartoons showing:
1. Michael Phelps stuffing gold metals down the front of his Speedo as a clueless Chinese ’women’s’ gymnastic team looks on. The caption reads: “Adults Only”.
2. Bush making grab-ass on volleyball’s Misty May as Putin seethes. Caption: “Mission Accomplished”.
3. A grim Condi putting on her helmet hair while in the background Georgian cities char and smoke and a large, smiling bear on tank plays a balalaika. Caption: “Pre-emptive Schmemptive”.

My world has just gotten a little smaller.
