- Apparent 1980s Orlando club owner Paul Strauss, who moonlights as a DC “Shadow Senator”—an entirely unreal position he’s sometimes leveraged in attempts to hook up with Hayden Panetierre—acted like he was a real Senator during a recent DUI arrest. [DCist]
- Rent out your apartment for thousands of dollars to Inauguration goers, the whole city is doing it! [DCist]
- Hooray now buses, called “Circulators” apparently, will run through Adams Morgan. [DC Examiner]
- Sexy thievery went terribly awry when some sunglassed mastermind stole a million bras but left behind her cell phone, which conveniently held artsy self-portraits. [WTOP]
- A firefighter has been arrested for starting a fire that he was later called to fight. [Washington Post]
The trick is to keep telling the cops to let you go because you are Larry Craig, eventually you end up with a night stick in the rump and then you win.
‘Terribly’, Intern Juli, the word is ‘Terribly’.
At least now we know who ‘bought’ Piper her new underwear.
He certainly throws quite a shadow.
Hmmm, artsy self portraits on the cell phone. I never thought of that. But I’ve got some bitchen shots of myself posing with one my real cool guitars on my iPod Touch. I totally rock.
Fatuous and self absorbed as I am, I still don’t think I’d be dumb enough to leave my iPod at the scene of the crime, if I was to pull off a great brassiere caper.
I think fire stations should just assume that 5-10% of firemen are pyromaniacs. There is one of these nuts a month. Every time I read about and arson it is a countdown until I read about the arrest of a firefighter. Maybe they should find an outlet for these guys and just have firefighters go burn abandoned buildings every weekend to get rid of the urge.
dotdotdotdotdot: Don’t be too hard on Juli, I just spent FIVE AND A HALF minutes trying to figure out how to correctly spell ‘brassiere’. Maybe she’s in more of a hurry.
Just doin’ the maths, here…uh, thousands of undergarments worth $3,300.00. Must have been the heavily discounted demos. Not that I should know.
Wow, that bitch loves undies. Surely someone who wants $3300 worth of panties would have better taste than mall-tastic Victoria’s Secret. Then again La Perla would probably smell her shit from miles away.
Hey, the firefighter is just giving himself job security in this insecure times.
The fake senator item gives me pause on continuing to impersonate a minister. Pause done.
And the bra-thief is a dumb-ass; everyone knows they won’t fingerprint unmentionables outside of CSI:Miami, but they will always trace you through your phone. Dropped the cell? Give up the loot and retrieve the evidence. This leads me to nominate her for Dumb Ass of the Week! (Never mind that the title is Palin’s for eleventy million years.)
Doglessliberal: Right. Put ‘em on the dirty grey dog to Deeetroit.
Lascauxcaveman: Or more excited.
Statehood for D.C., as soon as they stop electing dickwads.
