Just saw this article in Washingtonian Magazine:
“Details are sketchy, but numerous witnesses report that veteran feature editor Henry Allen punched out feature writer Manuel Roig-Franzia on Friday. The brawl took place in sight of Post executive editor Marcus Brauchli’s office. Brauchli rushed to the writhing bodies and helped pull Allen off.”
Read the rest of this insane story from Harry Jaffe here.
Thanks to a reader for sending in the photo. Though I must say if you haven’t read World War Z, I thought it was absolutely terrific. I haven’t seen Zombieland yet but I hear it’s pretty good as well.
Maybe I’ve been under a rock and everyone’s already heard about this (as the youtube clip above is 6 months old). But I was watching tv tonight and this commercial came on and I kept expecting it to turn into a Sat. Night Live or something like that. Sadly, this is apparently for real. You can see the Web site where it’s for sale here. Is this the most ridiculous, absurd, f’d up thing you’ve ever seen?
“Dear PoP,
Passed by this Uncle Sam panhandling for 12 trillion in Dupont on my way to work. Pamphlet he’s handing has all sorts of stats on the deficit-www.defeatthedebt.com. Said there are a bunch of Uncle Sams all over DC today.”
Anyone else see some “homeless” Uncle Sams around town?
I think this might be a kite, but whatever it is, I dig it.
I received tons of emails about this great development. The Examiner reports, D.C. proposes looser restrictions on urban chickens:
“Ward 6 D.C. Councilman Tommy Wells is proposing to erase rules that prohibit fowl within 50 feet of any building “used for human habitation,” a regulation that denies most District residents the opportunity to harbor hens.”
So be honest: If this passes who’s going to get a chicken?
I call the above – “Burglarize my home please”.
I forgot to thank a reader for sending the word that V Street, NW between 13th and 14th got renamed Langston Hughes Way.
And the above I just found odd…
A reader sent in this question and photo via twitter:
“Has anyone ever gotten drunk at Cosi?”
I think that’s a really good question. I guess it is a bit odd that Cosi sports a full bar. And it got me thinking, what’s the most random bar/restaurant/bookstore or random place you’ve ever gotten drunk? Chipotle?
You can follow me on twitter @PoPville here.
I’ve seen mattresses, shower curtains, odd books, gym equipment but this is the first food item. Green Beans. And French Style to boot. Gotta love the randomness of it all.
I had a lot of unusual finds in Bloomingdale this weekend. This banister really jumped out at me. I think the brass looks pretty cool.
