free: 7-Eleven Slurpee on 7/11
I’ve always said that with all the Scavenger Hunts that take place in DC, the highest scoring item should be finding a 7-Eleven with a Slurpee machine that has all flavors functioning properly–at the same time. Fat chance of that,...
news: “That’s hot…”
It’s been making the rounds, and I agree with the sentiment: You need a dirty mind to be an editor in mass communications. And for those of you out there that just see a cartoon sun holding a thermometer? Bless...

weird al: Alpocalypse
Now that the so-called kerfuffle with Lady Gaga is over and done, Weird Al’s latest album Alpocalypse is out next week on June 21. I’ve never been a die-hard Weird Al fan. I loved him in the 80s, but who didn’t?
