suggestions for people who aren't from around DC

is anyone on this message board really from DC?

I was born in DC. Always lived in the MD burbs though.

I think some of that "sense of the absurd" from walkonby is rubbing off of me…I'm tired of the "is it safe" questions. Freekin' shoppers are getting stabbed in Nordstroms in wealthy suburbs, for christ's sake. I avoided Nation's for several years cause I kept reading here about the dangerous neighborhood. I went last week. Okay, it's a dump off a major highway, and I saw a couple rats where I wished they weren't…I did not sense DANGER and I used to be an inner (DC) city dweller before gentrification was even a word… :roll:

Is this some sort of Canadian logic test?

tenleytown, chevychase, palisades, foxhall …

I think Eddie is a DC native.

A visit to DC almost prepares you for a visit to Limerick where the real gangsters hang out…..and I'm not joking. :eek:

There's an implied verb "are" at the end of the clause calling for the pronoun to be a subject.

I agree.

You probably wear denim shorts to your knees, or beyond, have a gut hanging over them, and think that the best restuarant in town is Applebees. No doubt you are less intelligent than us, less attractive, and less important. Next time you go on vacation, please take your fat ass to New York City and get up early for the Today Show concert and then go climb the Empire State Building and jump the fuck off. We appreciate your tourist dollars, but we'd appreciate it more if you just mailed us a check and stayed in fucking Kentucky.

Go Home

Very, very mean. And I doubt the person to whom this was directed deserved his. However, very funny and possibly an idea for the DC Chamber of Commerce when designing advertisements.

of course you will. and you should.

Allergy shots are a requirement here, god dam pollen is atrocious!!!

thank you, thank you. i do rubbings-off at eight next to the foggy bottom metro station. the key to dc, is to appear absolutely crazy. make homeless people afraid to ask you for money. walking around downtown, taking hits off n2o balloons helps, too.

nobody bothers me . . . nobody bothers me, either.

Rhett's just being sarcastic…..he's just taking the piss of the holier than thou city dwellers that usually chime in on these sorts of threads. He lives in Springfield…I think. That's like Applbees central out there.

I was born and raised in arlington myself and after spending my late teens and most of my 20s in RVa and Philidelphia came back. I'm here for good now, although the missus and I talk about moving to DC when the kids are out of school. My hood has some great free schools. When we're old and gray we could trade in our little house for a bumpin condo downtown……

Joon Rhee! Thought he was just beaten up by someone. "Try Joon Rhee's Self-Defense, and then you too will say 'Nobody bothers mee'…"
