Basically where the GAO Building is, the old FedEx / XM Building - those were obviously not developed like they are now. That would have been the site. Nearest Metro then was Rhode Island...yeah, nightmare.

It’s like being the awkward, chubby girl in a Zac Efron movie. He’s SO dreamy, and he’s SO nice, and he’s SO flirty you think there might be a chance, but, come on. Come on. Really? REALLY?!

Don’t blame us fine, upstanding citizens of the Old Line State that DC was such a shit hole 25 years ago that Jack Kent Cooke was looking to build a stadium pretty much anywhere but the District. Potomac Yards in Alexandria, Loudoun County, Columbia, Bowie, Hell, Baltimore for a while. He looked at basically 1 site in…

That was an exceptionally curious call in the moment, and the explanation doesn’t really help.

can’t. Afraid the Caps sucked all the oxygen from the continent.

“25.8 seconds left, the Caps have a one goal lead, and I am absolutely terrified.”

- Every Caps fan

As a Caps’ fan from the get-go, I can tell you confidently that at only one time in the previous 40+ years have I ever felt anything resembling “confidence” in this team. I was at two of those playoff games against the Canadiens in 2010, the year Jaroslav Halak suddenly became unbeatable. That was the only time I…

that’s eggscellent +1

I was born in `73, the Caps in `74. They’ve never given me much reason TO unclench in the playoffs, aside from the fluke Stanley Cup finals against Detroit.

Definitely CP.

Don’t forget the slut fucking in Florida, in the Midwest, at the all-night pancake house...

I have to wonder just how hard his vehicle crashed and how many cracks at his lumbar she got in with that 5-iron?

Groot Correa is best Correa

Early-to-mid `80s, if my photographic recall of my former stepdad’s encyclopedic collection of VHS tapes back then is still accurate. AND IT IS, THANKS WIKI!!! “North states that he entered the adult film business “by accident” in the spring of 1984.^[2"

Not sure how one does that “by accident.” How’d that go? “I was…

How young are you to think that’s a `90s porn reference??

Had to Google 99pi... 99 percent invisible podcast? Never heard of it until just now; looks awesome! Thanks for the tip!

+1 for having the first haircut on the planet that could be described as “Usonian.”

True enough...I think Gillian Clark might be cooking at The Gentry in Brooklyn if you’re NYC-based. You MIGHT have to do some research. You know, journalistic integrity and whatnot. I’m currently working in Boston, and I do live in Maryland, so I might have to take a detour.

I’d suggest at least a 24-hour soak in the buttermilk. Picked that tip up from Chef Gillian Clark, who made the best fried chicken in DC, and her recipe has never let me down, nor my cardiologist. The longer the soak, the more buttery the chicken becomes.

Or, it could be that Jose Bautista was completely unremarkable in his first stint as a Baltimore Oriole; couldn’t get on the field in Tampa or Kansas City; toiled in mediocrity and barely flirted with average in Pittsburgh; then gets a couple of years of that patented Magical Toronto Career Rejuvenation Serum in his…
