Flashbacks:
The RNGC Caddyshackpocalypse
Bollards!
Forget the eight verboten invasive plants that are making the native vegetation in our beloved earth-toned community more imperiled than Marcel Breuer-designed concrete bunkers. We've got a whole new series of critters to worry about on our lovely (and smoke-free) pathways.
A Confidential Restonian Operative who may or may not be a resident of Restonian World Headquarters tried to explain to us this whole Pokemon Go phenomenon, geez Daaaad, just SWIPE UP, OKAY?. All we know is that we're frightened to go outside now.
Wouldn't be the weirdest thing someone's found in one of Reston's lakes.
Each of those balls contains a DRB violation letter. Time for a trip to Home Depot!
At first, we thought this was our hopes and dreams for the Plaza flying away. But wait! We think we're getting the hang of this whole cellular telephone game now:
POKESQUIRREL, WE CHOOSE YOU. PREPARE FOR BATTLE!
EARTH-TONED HORSE, YOU HAVE MET YOUR MATCH.
Did we get the power-up and win the game?
Be careful out there, kiddos. Reston's paths bring a whole new meaning to "lure station."
ReplyDeleteGOTTA COLLECT THEM ALL.
ReplyDeleteDRB violations, I mean. Just need a rare Cracked and Peeling Trim letter and I'm all set.
I guess this might force some people to visit the decrepit lake anne village center. When are they going to take a wrecking ball to that place?
ReplyDeleteLake Anne Village Center is bustling with activity, full of people of all ages, every single night of the week, thanks to Pokemon Go. I can't imagine what Bob Simon would have thought of it - all these people looking at their phones... but at least they're outside, laughing with each other, and patronizing the local businesses like crazy!

ReplyDeleteIsn't that some verbatim dialog from medical offices in Jamaica when male patients have the dreaded prostate exam?
Doctor: "Poke, mon?"
Patient (grimacing as he bends over:) "Go!"
