omg, why don't the kids realize that dc is an effing dirty town? one does not walk barefoot down the street, with perfectly comfortable sandals in hand, like some effing dirty hippie. do they want to contract a disease? are they not content with the passing swine flu hysterics? do they want to be patient zero for another potential pandemic? sweet mercy. the kid must have been a college kid. to which i then add, fuck, man. your parents are either paying for you to go to georgetown or gee-dub, in which case, you have enough fucking money to wear shoes.
okay, okay, i know i am only a few years out from being said dirty hippie -- yeah, i've put in my time roaming barefoot around cities, but i was always wearing uncomfortable shoes. have i become too high maintenance? is it wrong to not want to have to dodge swinging sandals and flying ash? because of course he's a compulsive flicker smoker. doesn't he know it's rude to haphazardly flick as he walks?
the old lady is shutting up now.
my fragmented knowledge of music strikes again. guess what folks, it only took me 28 years to realize that the beach boys were chanting 'barbara ann' not 'bop a ran.' i am still incredulous...because, you know, 'bop a ran' is a legitimate refrain. this is just like rediscovering all the madonna songs i thought i knew as a wee child in the 80s. why can't she enunciate?
