Or call and hire a car service. Seriously. No wait, no fuss, car all to yourself.

This may be precluded by budgetary concerns.

dude brian this is why you don't even attempt to say "F U i will take a different cab" you just pretend the already-taken cab is kryptonite.

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 26 July 2007 16:44 (sixteen years ago) link

oh, I usually yell at the people who are already in the cab like it's their fault.

I DIED, Thursday, 26 July 2007 16:45 (sixteen years ago) link

hahaha it is their fault, they should say something to the cab driver to prevent this lunacy

river wolf, Thursday, 26 July 2007 19:26 (sixteen years ago) link

then yeah, straight up cheapest way from Dulles to DC is the 69-approved WMATA bus for $3.

I DIED, Thursday, 26 July 2007 19:36 (sixteen years ago) link

yeah bro yeah

69, Thursday, 26 July 2007 19:54 (sixteen years ago) link

I love the idea of that bus but come on WMATA L'Enfant Plaza and Rosslyn FOR SERIOUS?

I DIED, Thursday, 26 July 2007 19:57 (sixteen years ago) link

gerrymandered partyairplanebus line

Mr. Que, Thursday, 26 July 2007 19:58 (sixteen years ago) link

an intern at my work has ridden that party bus like three times while he's been in town this summer - his plans tonight involve the rock and roll hotel

69, Thursday, 26 July 2007 20:26 (sixteen years ago) link

:/ i would make mine involve r&r hotel too.

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 26 July 2007 20:34 (sixteen years ago) link

my plans tonight involve drugs of varying levels of legality, playing records at neighbor-offending volumes, and quite probably burritos from picante.

chicago kevin, Thursday, 26 July 2007 20:38 (sixteen years ago) link

ooh picante!

river wolf, Thursday, 26 July 2007 20:39 (sixteen years ago) link

burritos, drugs, and rock & roll

I DIED, Thursday, 26 July 2007 20:41 (sixteen years ago) link

i staggered into picante last night on my way back from jenny's bar-taking celebration. somehow me, dan, and his friend wound up closing the bar. having picante 2 blocks away is probably what i will miss most about this neighborhood.

chicago kevin, Thursday, 26 July 2007 20:44 (sixteen years ago) link

HEY DC how do I shot high speed internet that doesn't cost $40/month? I don't want cable or a land line

is this possible

daria-g, Monday, 6 August 2007 20:53 (sixteen years ago) link

Verizon is like 29 bucks for DSL for me

Mr. Que, Monday, 6 August 2007 20:55 (sixteen years ago) link

whoops i mean 39

Mr. Que, Monday, 6 August 2007 20:57 (sixteen years ago) link

i investigated it a bunch awhile back and that was about as cheap as it got

Mr. Que, Monday, 6 August 2007 21:06 (sixteen years ago) link

you're going to basically have to get cable or the landline from what i understand? though i think you can get only dsl from the phone company but the price difference to get it with no phone line or to add the landline is so insignificant it's not worth making the big deal of getting ONLY dsl :\

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 6 August 2007 21:25 (sixteen years ago) link

but i haven't investigated thoroughly recently because i'm being lazy and scamming my work's wireless internet card.

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 6 August 2007 21:25 (sixteen years ago) link

yeah they told me that too $32 for high speed but not superfast and $42 for fast (if I don't get land line)

i might get comcast though it's faster + basic cable (i don't really care but it would be nice i suppose to have cable tv)

daria-g, Monday, 6 August 2007 21:26 (sixteen years ago) link

i have a wireless card too but usually am on my home PC and would be using it for web dev work

daria-g, Monday, 6 August 2007 21:26 (sixteen years ago) link

i've heard nothing good about comcast's customer service, though nothing has broken yet on our verizon stuff, and i'm sure verizon is just as bad.

Mr. Que, Monday, 6 August 2007 21:27 (sixteen years ago) link

that would be the main difference I've encountered between comcast and verizon, is that my verizon dsl doesn't get fucking hosed once or twice every month.

El Tomboto, Monday, 6 August 2007 21:30 (sixteen years ago) link

*knocks wood*

Mr. Que, Monday, 6 August 2007 21:31 (sixteen years ago) link

all these places have terrible customer service. if yr place is not already wired for cable (and looks can be deceiving--if you haven't actually plugged in the cable and checked to see if it is outputting anything, don't assume it's still wired) it'll be a drama to get cable internet.

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 6 August 2007 21:32 (sixteen years ago) link

tho the downside of testing this out is that you might discover that you already HAVE basic cable because comcast forgot to turn it off and then you will not want to call and get internets because if you call then they will KNOW you are stealing cable and will start charging you u_u

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 6 August 2007 21:33 (sixteen years ago) link

verizon seems equally annoying but they also want a year contract & i'm like no

daria-g, Monday, 6 August 2007 21:43 (sixteen years ago) link

I have free internets most of the time. Sometimes not, depending on whether my friendly/unaware neighbor has her wireless running.

I DIED, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 03:28 (sixteen years ago) link

dudes, get comcast for a short-ass pd of time at whatever intro rate theyll give you, then when they jack it up, call and be like "ooh, please cancel," and theyll be like "ooh why?" and you be like "i just cant pay more than 19.99," and theyll do this game where they go "please hold," and come back with a lower rate, from like 39.99 to 34.99 to 29.99 to 24.99, and i think down to 19.99. you just gotta believe. i stopped at 29.99, but my friend got it down to 19.99, just by believing in herself.

69, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 03:43 (sixteen years ago) link

One more

How do I shot getting rid of my car??

daria-g, Thursday, 16 August 2007 06:13 (sixteen years ago) link

I thought about coming down to see Mets this weekend at RFK, but Thermo is coming to NY with baseball tix. Also, I have spent too much this summer.

ghost rider, Thursday, 16 August 2007 14:32 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah but the next question would be "how do I shot getting rid of Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy?" so I don't know if that's a good trade-off.

HI DERE, Thursday, 16 August 2007 14:35 (sixteen years ago) link

fuck owen wilson, fuck the dolphin, and fuck you

Mr. Que, Thursday, 16 August 2007 14:45 (sixteen years ago) link

i was kind of hoping that gr was implying eddie murphy and owen wilson were morbius and thermo actually.

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 16 August 2007 14:47 (sixteen years ago) link

I do not hang out with uptown drag performers.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YES

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 16 August 2007 14:56 (sixteen years ago) link

i would pay 50 bucks to see that movie

Mr. Que, Thursday, 16 August 2007 14:56 (sixteen years ago) link

If we all pay 50 bucks; we can make that movie.

Ed, Thursday, 16 August 2007 15:17 (sixteen years ago) link

it costs more than $200 to blow up a car like that, ed

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 16 August 2007 15:34 (sixteen years ago) link

no no just film it in front of a blue screen and photoshop everything in during editing

brownie, Thursday, 16 August 2007 15:36 (sixteen years ago) link

thx for that ;)

so what, i ask owen and eddie to blow up my car, or steal my car? i am not sure which car is mine, in this scenario
