How is everybody? It's THAT day again, people on the elevator with filthy foreheads, arrgh, don't they know the vatican hides pedophiles?

Woah, I can not keep up with the 10 or so people on this thread with the flying typing fingers. Slow down! No, wait: keep typing. (I need something to pass the time at work). New dada show at the National Gallery -- it's flibbitygibbit.

meh, which doesn't have much to do with Jesus...

Considering a quick weekend for the Blowoff danceparty and a Nats game in early June -- they'll be playing with blank jerseys by then, yeah?

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 15:52 (nineteen years ago)

Oh man, the Nats? Tell me they are playing the Mets that weekend, at least.

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 15:54 (nineteen years ago)

Yankees series @ home is Jun 16-18!

― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 1 March 2006 15:55 (nineteen years ago)

If I come it'd be the preceding weekend (Phillies).

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 16:07 (nineteen years ago)

bleh. Is B'more in town and playing? I'd join you for a B'more game but I cannot support the Nats.

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 16:08 (nineteen years ago)

C'mon, how many times a year does Angelos let them be home at the same time? The O's are playing the Mets in New York on the 16-18th, tho!

I just got caught out on one of PA Ave's pedestrian islands during the motorcade from the dome to the WH. 6 cop bikes with fat sidecars, in lead, making odd hand signals as they went through the intersection at 9th - 2 police cruisers with the ramming attachment - 2 stretch lincolns with the bulletproof tints rolled up - 2 black-on-black SS Suburbans to soften up a bitch - 1 Bronco with windows rolled down, even the back window was out, carrying some kinda Urban Assualt Team, identified by their tricked-out M4s, mirror Oakleys and ubiquitous USMC spec hayuh-cut - 2 more cop cruisers with ramming attachments - 200+ feet of breathing room.

Black man next to me: "Wooooooooo! Woooo! Shit!" or something to that effect. Which I think is pretty accurate.

was it Cheney? Pretzel's in Pakistan.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 17:10 (nineteen years ago)

Didn't look like a fatty in there, but I only got a good look into one L-dog. I think the stretchies are decoys anyway, they like throw any old white myopic fart in there off the street & pay him $10 to wear a blue blazer. The important old white myopic farts roll in the Suburbans, which have completely blacked-out windows in the rear.

― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 1 March 2006 17:16 (nineteen years ago)

Doesn't the District end up paying like $1M/year for these Shriner parades? Seems they could get Cheney to and from his infant-blood transfusions a little more economically.

They should just build a special TS/SCI SS metro line with stops from Camp David to the USNO, State Dept, WH/OEOB/Treasury, DOJ, Capitol and then down to the Pentagon. It could be referred to on cryptome.org and various murmuring bloggers' pages as "The Black Line."

― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 1 March 2006 17:32 (nineteen years ago)

cryptome! I am kinda fascinated by sites like that. for more conspiracist stuff, see cryptogon, that guy is out of control.

if there's going to be a Black Line shouldn't include Langley though?

Actually one of the N buses that runs down Mass Ave only at rush hour is always transporting approx. 99% bureaucrats in trench coats to the State Dept, so maybe that's the start, they should just run it over to the Hill and then to the Pentagon.

Re the Black Line, I'm often at L'Enfant when the money train stops to offload/onload cash. It's easy to convince tourists that the darkened train and kevlared cops w/shotguns are all servicing some subterranean hive of the shadow government.

I'm kinda disappointed that the money trains here are just, you know, metro train cars full of money, instead of the armored pillbox prison variety like they have in NYC.

― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 1 March 2006 19:34 (nineteen years ago)

one consolation of growing up in rural western MD: at least it wasn't rural western PA. dude, it's scary out there!

I was walking on M St near Washington circle about a week ago & just ahead of me were two very drunk businessmen, carrying on extremely loudly about how f**king scary it was out in 'western buttf**k PA' and how Penn State was 'full of crazy f**king Nazis.'

― dar1a g (daria g), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 19:36 (nineteen years ago)

when i was a kid, every time my parents would take me and my sister up to W-B/Scranton to visit the richardson/drosinski massive, about half of the ride home would be a lecture on "please go to college so you don't end up like that."

as a very hairy and gay friend of mine said after attending the warhol museum opening: "pittsburgh--nice place to live, wouldn't want to visit."

If anybody needs a reason to be angry today, I suggest reading the feature story in the Post's Home section today - learn about the challenges faced by Washington area families who run out of room to display all their trophies and equestrian event ribbons.

Can I ask a serious question though? What does Nicky do??

xpost Paris Hilton is emulating other people.

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 22:21 (nineteen years ago)

Nicky actually parlays her fame and fortune into attempting to design purses and other things. At least she's trying to do something. Paris just does that stupid, "that's HAAAAAAAAAAAHT" face and makes the posture like she's farting.

And I would, of course, agree that Paris is not the only person who does this. The very notion of a socialite for the reason of being a socialite bothers me ONLY when they don't really do anything but be famous.

― Big Loud Mountain Ape (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 22:25 (nineteen years ago)

Well really I don't see why singling out Paris Hilton really fixes a much larger societal problem. And she does do things, she had an album (or at least a couple songs) and she's in movies. Granted those aren't particularly amazing things and she'd not be doing them if she wasn't already famous for being famous...

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 22:27 (nineteen years ago)

she's kind of a void/negative space as far as a pop culture persona goes, and the fact that people respond so strongly to that tells you more about them than it does her. if people want to take her as their ideal and imitate thusly, and if you see that as a bad thing (i would, definitely), well, i'm more inclined to think less of them than i am to attack her.

― pyjamagrama (teenagequiet), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 22:27 (nineteen years ago)

I think ZR is correct.
See "Real Housewives of Orange County" as well.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 22:28 (nineteen years ago)

But, then again, thats just my middle-classness rearing its indignant and self-righteous head.

― Big Loud Mountain Ape (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 22:28 (nineteen years ago)

The number one thing Nicky does is "not show up on television unless she is promoting one of her modelling gigs". Number two is probably "not awkwardly dance on tables in Greek clubs while Tara Reid drunkenly tells everyone how sweet she is, honest, and she's not getting paid a gazillion dollars to say this and she and Paris have been friends forever and didn't just meet three minutes ago because the people on E! grossly miscalculated the level of national interst in watching Tara Reid drink all the alcohol in the world".

― Dan (I Know #2 Is A Strike Against) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 22:29 (nineteen years ago)

Man...Tara Reid...that's...a person right there.

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 22:30 (nineteen years ago)

I think we can all agree that Tara Reid is an order of magnitude more objectionable than Paris Hilton; she's like Lindsay Lohan without the media savvy.

― Dan (And Eight Million More Cigarettes) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 22:31 (nineteen years ago)

anyway dudes, why are we talking about the hiltons when we could be discussing the far more important question of "should i buy a ring modulator?"

― pyjamagrama (teenagequiet), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 22:31 (nineteen years ago)

Tara Reid is completely, completely batshit insane though. The Simple Life would've been 10x better/worse (not sure) if it was Nicole Richie and Tara Reid.

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 22:33 (nineteen years ago)

there is no way you should pay that kind of money for a ring modulator, I can tell you that much

In fact I would say unless you plan to put drum samples through it the ring modulator is totally skippable anyway, but I'm not very indie.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 22:33 (nineteen years ago)

The most important question is where the shit did I pack away the 128mb flashcard with ALL MY SAMPLES AND PATTERNS ON IT

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 22:34 (nineteen years ago)

I don't really know what a ring modulator is but was inclined to say "no" when I clicked on the link and discovered it was some kind of music equipment and not a sci-fi device.

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 22:35 (nineteen years ago)

ah, fuck it, i need a new wah before i go fishing for goofy boutique effects i'll use once every seventeen songs anyway. it looks cool though.

― Dan (All We Need Is A Trail Of Smirnoff) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 22:40 (nineteen years ago)

I think the reason why people hate the girls, thinking about it some more, is just kind of like the "why" factor of their existence in the public eye. I mean Tara, Nicole, Paris: none of them are particularly pretty. They definitely aren't talented. And, I mean, they're perplexing in their behaviors. I can understand the wtfness of it all becoming an acute hatred, I guess.

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 22:50 (nineteen years ago)

Send out flyers for "The 5 O'Clock Free Vodka Give-away." You'll catch at least one of them.

― Big Loud Mountain Ape (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 22:50 (nineteen years ago)

They aren't even like Pamela Anderson or Jenna Jameson or something like that, really. No huge titties, no porn besides Paris's lame, lame leaked tape...it's like the ultimate culmination of completely useless people becoming famous. There is just NOTHING you can really find that says "OK this excuses it."

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 22:51 (nineteen years ago)

I think I might throw myself out of the window if I have to see another magazine cover talking about how Nicole is starving herself.

― Dan (NO, RLY?) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 22:55 (nineteen years ago)

Why don't we celebrate the moms more? Gwenyth? Jennifer Garner? Rachael Weisz? Those women deserve to be hyped up, especially over the Hiltons.

― Big Loud Mountain Ape (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 22:57 (nineteen years ago)

Okay making me choose between Gwyneth Paltrow and Paris Hilton = OMG I DIED IN MY SLEEP AND ENDED UP IN HELL 8-0

Big Loud Mountain just lost all credibility with that last post.

Tara Reid at least had American Pie to point to for at least a few seconds, but now? That shitty Uwe Boll movie, a bad reality show, and her boob flopping out on the red carpet. What a career!

― phil d. (Phil D.), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 23:41 (nineteen years ago)

I went to Lotte Plaza today. It wasn't everything I had dreamed of. Though there was a nearby character store by the name of Cupi that was pretty cool.
