As the snow continues to fall and traffic appears to be nonexistent and the lights flicker ever so faintly and we begin pondering "worst case" human cannibalism scenarios, we bring you this heartwarming story of perseverance and camaraderie in the face of adversity, courtesy of the Twitter machine:
That is all.
I'm planning to head to North Point with all the other unwashed masses here in Lake Anne for some good old fashioned looting and perhaps we'll dabble in cannibalism as well. After having broken their will to survive by stealing all the booze from the ABC, then we'll all retreat back to our brutalist stronghold to withstand their tepid retaliation.

The bus STOPPED to let some guy take a pee and then they let him back on again?!? I don't see why this guy deserves special treatment. Heck, when people have to fart, they never ask the bus driver to stop and let them out. They just let fly without a word. And nobody ever complains about it either.
ReplyDeleteThe loser should have just wet his pants. Maybe next time he'll bring a Depends with him.
It's all fun and games until the power goes out. Then it's hobo hunting time.

What is all this commuting (by bus no less)?
ReplyDeleteAren't you Restonians supposed to be working, living and playing in the same place?
Ah, Anon... we are working (blogging), living (behind our glass walls) and playing (on our computers until the power left) in the same place! And thanks to the snowpocolypseageddon event that covered our mauve existence, we're in the same place for longer..Don't you love Reston!
