A Booze-Filled Countdown To Jesus’s Birth

by Arielle Fleisher  1:25 pm December 15, 2010

Thursday, December 16: Generation Obama-D.C. seems to have missed the part where Obama turned Republican and told his minions that he no longer loves them: At what could be the least merry holiday party EVER, they will be gathering to celebrate Progress (pass out resumes) at Hawk ‘n Dove on Thursday night from 6-9PM. $5. ["Celebrate The Progress" Happy Hour on Capitol Hill]

  • Saturday, December 18: D.C.’s band of hipster misfits is hosting a Christmas Lights Art Car Parade (hipsters have cars?) on Saturday. The parade starts in Georgetown, includes a dramatic reading of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” at Politics and Prose and somehow ends with music and beer at Comet Ping Pong. It will be a “night for the history books,” so they claim, or maybe it will just be a parade. [Brightest Young Things]
  • Sunday, December 19: Nothing seems to get people in the mood to party in December like searching thrift stores or their parents’ closets for ugly Christmas sweaters. Jesus loves it when pretty people dress uglily on purpose after taking the best sweaters from Goodwill. Eat Bar is hosting an Ugly Sweater Party on Sunday, from 6 PM – 1AM. And yes, the worst-looking person gets a prize. [GregsListDC]
  • Monday, December 20: Before you go home for the holidays to visit your Home Friends, there is the obligatory last meal with your D.C. Friends. Casa Nonna’s Monday night all-you-can-eat pasta deal — $18 dollars for heaping piles of spaghetti and meatballs — provides the perfect spot for this last meal. [Casa Nonna]
  • New York Cometh?: With New York ever so eager to throw poo at all things Washington, it’s surprising that they’ll let one of their restaurants settle in one of our meager quadrants. Get excited (or not) because Hill Country, a barbecue restaurant from the Big Cit-ay, will be opening in the District early next year. [PQ Living]

I must be getting the holiday spirit. I read that as Booze-Filled Condom.

Barkeep, I'll have a couple of ribs of scotch please. Keep 'em cummin'

On which day does one celebrate Jesus's "Bris"?

Zvi_Bleindmeis December 15, 2010 at 1:38 pm

That's Yom Kiputz.

Is "Waste Deep In The Big Muddy" a Christmas Carol?

Dya think? Geezer moment: seeing Pete sing that on the Smothers Brothers in the teevee room of my dorm in 1968 at the Agricultural Training Institute in West Lafayette. He started sitting in a rocking chair, playing on a banjo songs from the Revolution, the Civil War, etc, then stood, picked up the 12-string and sang this.

Oh yes.

Only read later how hard CBS tried to keep this treasonous ditty off the air, and how hard the Smothers manipulated the game to it on.

Okay, time for my nap now.

Man, I love me some D.C., but you couldn't get me near any of this ginned up mirth with a cattle prod.

SayItWithWookies December 15, 2010 at 1:49 pm

New York is exporting barbecue to the south? (And yes, DC is below the Mason-Dixon Line). I'll bet that shit smells like diesel fumes and pee. That's about as culturally annoying as opening a Taco Bell in Mexico City. If that hasn't already happened.

I hear the PF Changs in Beijing has a nice decor.

V572625694 December 15, 2010 at 2:14 pm

The Milano Olive Garden is very popular with i Milanese

GeoffPeterson December 15, 2010 at 2:28 pm

Oh, come on. Culturally, the South doesn't start until you're outside of Fairfax County.

Rarian Rakista December 16, 2010 at 1:16 am

Taco Bell is considered American food in Mexico, it is semi popular.

Ragstock – we left it behind in Madison- kind of hard to get there for the ugly sweater party in DC

horsedreamer_1 December 15, 2010 at 2:33 pm

Are you thinking of Weedstock? That got discontinued to.

Fun horsedreamer_1 fact: I have met the organizer of Weedstock. Multiple dreams.

finallyhappy December 15, 2010 at 2:22 pm

If I wore my ugly Chanukah sweater to the Eatbar, would I be accused of ruining Christmas?

jus_wonderin December 15, 2010 at 2:36 pm

You might get those gape mouth stares and pointing fingers (that were the signature stance of the cinematic masterpiece "Invasion of the All You Can Eat Chicken Fried Steak Snatchers".

horsedreamer_1 December 15, 2010 at 2:34 pm

Finally: people are waking up to what a great album Utopia Parkway is. Sure, it lacks an ode MILVES, but, I mean, what a fine day for a parade.

ttommyunger December 15, 2010 at 2:36 pm

Little known fact: Virginians are every bit as inbred, idiotic and ignorant as their racist pinheaded cousins in Georgia, Alabama, etc.,etc.

Rarian Rakista December 16, 2010 at 1:17 am

DC is just Virginia's asshole.

ttommyunger December 16, 2010 at 11:37 am

And we know what that makes Florida; just look at it!

Barbara_i December 15, 2010 at 6:24 pm

I know that I am going to be celebrating the "brown liquors" this season. Only my friends, Jack Daniels and Johnny Walker wouldn't send me the same insane "I say MERRY CHRISTMAS and not HAPPY HOLIDAYS" spam mail. If one more person sends that crummy email I am going to climb the clock tower and thin out the herd. Who gives a rat's ass what anyone says as they are trying to grab their credit card receipt from the Wal Mart cashier, trying to avoid eye contact with anyone else? "Merry Christmas" "Happy Festivus" "and the ox and lamb you rode in on!"
