Happy Burns Night
It's that time of year where we celebrate Scotland's favorite poet - Burns Night!

There's nary an animal alive that can outrun a greased Scotsman.
Believe it or not, that was going to be the title of the post before I chose a simple "Happy Burns Night."
I wonder how the proprietor of Scotland Yard is. Next to me, he was the coolest guy in Old Town.
Remember how pi$$ed he was when we went in there and only ordered whiskey?
16:9, I hope it's not another Starbucks.
I'm surprised they allow family-owned places in OTA. They like to be the trendiest!! I'm surprised it's not another cosi or au bon pain.
That's terrible! Sure, pizza places and coffee shops are a dime a dozen in that area. But where else could you get venison? I'll have to raise a nip to Scotland Yard tonight.
I want everyone to write a poem... (KPMD, did you download the Dana Gould comedy goodness?)
I wasn't knocking Old Town at all. Out of the whole DC area, that was the best place to live in. Where do you think our future communal house is going to be located at?
Mrs. Disney?
Man, you guys are making me want to go into my time machine (i.e. drink heavily).
KPMD - http://www.danagould.com/funhouse.html "I throw my feces against the wall because it's there."
I think I only went to that apartment once...but we did watch Montclair's best family on HBO.
I still have what - a year and a half to get my bum relocated to DC so we can relive the Sopranos night tradition?
I do so miss the Nook of Oppression.
And I'll gladly take my loft back, despite the lack of a door. Hope the moanin'* doesn't keep you up.
*purely hypothetical
No more "The most uncomfortable couch in the world®" for me...
I can do you one better: Hank the Angry Drunken Delivery Guy will live with us (you know, just in case Pubes breaks).
We had to call in a priest, but the couch is no more.
I'm pretty sure I helped remove that couch from 315. I know I carried it into the house. Yes, y'all will be getting phone calls when I move...ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha (eeeevil laugh).
I'd heard that about Sutton Place. I'm still peeved that they got rid of the Vice President sandwich.
And Dana Gould is good for any occasion. "Bate has struck a cwuel blow"
I'd like to point out that Richmond has had a Five Guys for almost a year now. Oh, and I have three bedrooms for rent.
But NOLA has that lovely Krystal burger on the corner of Canal and Bourbon.
Wave after wave of retarded schoolgirls...
As much as I love the place, Five Guys has "jumped the shark." Last time I was home there was a "Coming Soon - Five Guys" banner draped across a storefront in a strip mall around South Park Mall. That's right. Colonial Heights is getting a Five Guys. They're really stretching with their definition of "Northern Virginia."
The Heights is SO not NoVa.
Oh I know they're tasty...I might be heading there tomorrow for some greasy goodness. Yum. Plus, all the peanuts you can shell. M, do you know a good place to get some boiled peanuts around here? I've been wanting some of those.
Yes, but they must be slung by peoples of hispanic descent. That's what was so off-putting about the Richmond one: fresh-faced squeaky-clean caucasian high school kids prepared and served our burgers. Sad.
Goober peas? Hmmm. Maybe try Padow's.
But those servers *understand* the order. When I say extra onions, I gets the extra onions!
Hmmm...Padow's? I mean some stand along the side of Rte. 10 in Hopewell or something...real, still wet, boiled peanuts. Yum. They would compliment my Two Buck Chuck now. Too bad the only place to buy that wine is Trader Joe's in Springfield.
Great blog - rolled yer
RuKsaK - Thanks for stopping by.
Shamrock!!! Great to hear from you. Oh, man - cafeteria haggis. Now I definitely have to visit.
