Blogger's 1/2 hour of "Planned Maintenance" was supposed to end 18 hours ago but its still unavailable. Is this Bush's fault too?
Damn that Ashcroft. And now I'm going to have his awful song stuck in my head. Which is alright as I've had Blues Traveller's version of "Gin and Juice" stuck in my head since last night and I didn't even listen to the song (it's awful about five times too long).
I think I'll jam some Richmond Sluts on the way to work and see if I can burn out the Ashcroft.
are you sure you don't mean the gourd's cover of gin and juice? maybe blues traveller did in fact do one, but the gourds did a pretty popular bluegrass version that's all over the internets and is always mislabelled, artist-wise.
I got an email this morning from my domain registrar (namecheap) that they can no longer provide whois-privacy protection on my .us domain, effectively immediately.
That is definately Bush's fault. Bastard. He wants to tap my calls, read my email and know the exact address I registered a domain under...but will he turn over his Katrina email? Nooo, it's his private email. What are you hiding, Chimpy McTerrorist!?
And another thing, the Today Show had some segment on Medivac helicopters today with a reporter in Sandy Springs, Maryland.
IT'S SANDY SPRING, YOU DUMBASSES!!!!
I've kinda gotten used to the media constantly calling Silver Spring Silver Springs, but must you now pollute Sandy Spring too? Don't you have fact checkers or something?
The Friends have been there foreverish, but when did the Medevacs move in?
I had really fond memories of Roy's from childhood, so one of the first things I did when moving back to Maryland was to go eat there... I guess I just didn't know what a dump was when I was little. That place reeks.
Roy's reeks, danostuporstar, but likewise, it (actually, Roy's Place Too, which was in Columbia, and wasn't quite as divey) was an integral part of my youth, and I go there around Christmas every year with my brother and a few other out-of-town friends. We still tell stories of getting Stevie Motown to order the Bender Schmender without knowing how huge it was, and how his eyes almost popped out of his head when the waitstaff brought it out, singing and banging pots and pans. Good times!
Ever go to Elsie's German Delicatessen in Severn? There's one in Woodbridge, too, but I think they're unrelated.
Now my stomach's growling, my mouth is watering, and my mind is wandering further on, to all the tasty eats in Savage.
