wax elastic: July 2006

Online ramblings from elastic synapse. Friday, July 21, 2006. Political Activism: Take One. Until this month, I had never called, written or emailed any of my Congressional representatives. I bitched and moaned with the best of 'em, but it was always just talk. When the "net neutrality" act (H.R. 5252, the Communications Opportunity, Promotion and Enhancement Act of 2006) came up, I could stay silent no longer. I feel like a political groupie. And what am I doing? We took the first step. Now it's you...

8220;Piratz” now “Corporate”: Hipsters Make T-shirts. February 18th, 2012 Category: Booze. Socked with irony, of course. I think that’s the only way this whole thing can end: with people wearing t-shirts to highlight said irony. Here are a few photos I snapped a short time ago from the new “Corporate Bar and Grill” (once Piratz Tavern). No one going inside quite when I was there. Who is this anonymous, silhouetted man? Finally, a couple of shots from over the fence onto the back patio:. 25 Comments so far.

Archive for the 'Transit' Category. The Six Flags of Zombies. March 27th, 2012 Category: Transit. It’s what the Silver Spring Transit Center center could be. A zombie theme park. At least, with its state currently in limbo, that’s what Washington Post’s John Kelly sees in the transit center. Huge potential, I tell you. The transit (or “transnot”) center could be the final place where we all either party down or lop off heads. Or maybe both. Plus just a two block walk up the hill for a movie?

I need a burger – STAT! February 27th, 2012 Category: Burgers. By Wednesday, specifically. At least that’s what Spiro Gioldasis and Luis Flores are planning to open The Stage Burger Lounge (8624 Colesville Road, formerly Sabroso). The latter is the owner and former sous chef at Mrs. K’s Toll House, and the former runs the always tasty Pacci’s Pizzeria and Pacci’s Trattoria. According to the Washington Post GOG Blog:.

Photo Essay: DTSS Toy Store. January 17th, 2012 Category: Misc Silver Spring. A good friend of mine from college who now lives in Thailand maintains a series of photo albums on his Facebook page. Highlighting products he comes across with hilarious English translations. On a recent trip to the toy store in Downtown Silver Spring, I came across some good ones myself. This was a quick trip, so if you find any more, feel free to submit. 8220;Hustling Dust” would be a great band name. 7 Comments so far.

NEEDED: A Good Butcher Shop. November 11th, 2011 Category: Barbecue. In short, I want a real butcher. A one-stop shop that has meat. And only meat. As much as I’m into barbecue, I’d fire up the grill even more if I had a resource like this. And if I could easily get my hands on a whole pig, I would buy one of these. In other news…. Unfortunately it’s in Germantown, but it looks like Montgomery County is finally on tap to get a Wegmans grocery store. And while I continue to push for a Harris Teeter. This ...

Do Not Drink and Bicycle. February 18th, 2012 Category: Thayer Residents. This is the scene just moments ago on Thayer Avenue. According to personnel on the scene, someone was doing some drunk bicycle riding down Thayer and got clipped by the 20 bus to Hillandale. From what we would tell, the injuries weren’t critical, as trucks are on their way out of the area now. Stuff like this always reminds me of Matt Groening’s old comic, “Life In Hell”:. 1 Comment so far. February 28th, 2012 11:52 am.
