There should be a law!
All I’m saying is that it should be illegal for the Five Guys at Columbia Heights to close at 11pm. Kyle and I got off the train, fresh from movies and drinking. There were plenty of Nats and DC United...
in DC: awkward for partners who are not similar in height
And I thought the posters for Crotch Rot were weird. I don’t get this one at all. I know there’s a real Interstate 69, but do we have something local going by the same name? Maybe this is just a...

on metro: Knock it off, I dare you
Interesting ride in this morning. I was a little later than usual, so the train was more crowded than I’m used to. A few stops in, a trio got on, two men, one woman and they were kinda cuttin’ up...
We’re fine. We’re all fine here now, thank you… How are you?
