On the Twitters: Zen Riddles, Celebrity Sightings (or Sighting, Anyway), And One Ornery Cat

It's been ages since we've taken a look at the crazy kids, what with their Twitters and all. Back in the day, when we wanted to share something random with the world, we'd write on the sidewalk with lead-based chalk. Only it would be hard, because the sidewalks were always sloped uphill and covered with shards of broken glass and it was always snowing, except when it was too cold to snow and then the chunks of ice were even sharper and colder than the shards of broken glass. And we liked it, by gum!

Now where were we? Oh, right -- the twitters.

We love us some Zen riddles, though in fairness it should read "Reston is a planned community that lives, works, plays, and gets involved (tm)."

Ouch. May the road rise to meet you, may the wind always be at your back, and may they have Macaroni Grills wherever you go.

We're not entirely sure, but it sounds like this guy is rummaging through the trash for his next meal. Does Targetville have Internet access?

Point well taken, west_virginian, though at least our state has Metro access somewhere.

We're not sure, but we think these are actual media people, with jobs, doing what media people do these days. Hey, thanks!

  3. You have to have a permit to take a photograph in Town Center. If you don't have one, you get to spend time in the Town Center Security Office with a man in uniform shaking his finger in your face. And I said, "Go ahead and call the police. Let's have a real party."
