I saw/heard three things this weekend that made me realize that the real world is far funnier than anything we can make up, funnier than anything in my head, and in fact, funnier than people realize.
Item #1:
Every so often my apartment building get bombarded with leaflets for this or that take-out place. This weekend we got flyers from… are you ready… it’s a Chinese place called… “New Big Wong!” I kid you not. New Big Wong?! I mean, come on… ordering something from New Big Wong in my neighborhood involves a transvestite hooker…
Item #2:
Skippy threw a party for an ex-roommate of his who is getting married… a very nice gesture. Well, the party was winding down, and after a hearty bottle fight with his brother (ask him about it), the gang decided to head into DC for some beers. The question is how to get there… the answer hijack/charter a tourist bus that happens to be parked in front of your house. The cost for such a luxurious cab?… $30.
Item #3:
(This one might not be that funny… but at the time, I was tired and I thought it was funny.) There’s a new product on the market. Our friends at Liquid Plumber have done it again. This new fabulous product is called “Liquid Plumber Foaming Pipe Snake!” AAAHHHH! How can something like this not be censored?! I supposed the only way this could be made more crude is if it was named (in honor of ZZ TOP) Foaming Tube Snake.
So, someone pointed out to me that there are a ton of new people on the List. In fact, on newbie said, “I didn’t know there was somewhere to go on Tuesday; that there was just a list of your rants.” OOOPS! Just so everyone is clear… there is somewhere to go… Toledo Lounge in Adams Morgan around 9:30 on Tuesdays.
PS Please, do not bring your New Big Wong or your Foaming Pipe Snake or even your charter bus.
