There is the band called Minus 5. They sing this song that has the following lyrics: “I had six white russians tonight, and two of them were people.” And I can’t get these lyrics out of my head. But I think I am ok with it. A very good band, by the by.
“While it’s not exactly inside my house, there is a special place in myheart for the trash can, on the corner in front of my house in Columbia Heights/Petworth-ish neighborhood. Last January, I received a citation from the Department of Public Works, sent via certified mail, indicating an alleged misuse of a public litter receptacle with a $75 fine. Attached to the citation was a “digital picture” of a piece of junk mail with my name on it in the trash can, and a photocopy of the evidence, I mean, envelope. Interesting. I learned that DPW employees are paid to go through the trash looking for identifying information (mail, dry cleaning receipts, luggage tags) so they can ticket residents for throwing away personal trash. Awesome that you can be ticketed for actually throwing trash away, never mind all the litter on the street and the dirty mattress next to the trash can. I did go to court, won the case (DPW was a no-show), and ended up at my real favorite place in my neighborhood, Wonderland’s patio, for a sweet celebratory happy hour. Moral(s) of the story: 1) Don’t put anything with your name and address in a public trash can in DC.
2) If you are the vindictive type and want to get back at someone,
this seems to be a fantastic method. 3) DC has some silly rules. 4)
Wilco rocks.”
C’mon, who doesn’t like dolphins?
Looks like one of those old British public pay phone booths. What do you think cool or kitchy?
Bob Marley, Bob Marley, Che Guevara, Haile Selassie, Willie Nelson, Bob Marley. What? Willie Nelson? That’s awesome! Is Willie a revolutionary? Well, yes he is, yes he is. Damn that was a dumb question and for that I apologize. Just listen to him sing Pancho and Lefty… But you have to admit you wouldn’t necessarily expect to see a Willie Nelson T shirt here, right?
I saw a guy driving on New Hampshire Ave. with his windows down and music blaring.
I love it. After 3000 years my people can finally graffiti without fear of persecution. I mean 5000 years. And I’m still not condoning it…
A commenter mentioned this tag about a week ago but I had to check it out for myself. I would think that a John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors or Ilie Nastase tag would have a bit more bite…
I’m not sure if it warrants a prominent window display but sage advice nevertheless.

Man I wish my bath was this nice…
