Overheard in Silver Spring
This one was heard first-hand at the Quarry house on Tuesday night. Guy #1 in Maryland Terps polo shirt to Guy #2:
Guy#1: “Back in the day when I was a cheerleader, I had 50,000 people following my shit at RFK. Know what I mean? I’d start pounding that drum, and all those fuckers were right behind me. Nowadays, those drums don’t mean shit. They don’t even pay attention, and that’s bullshit. But back in the day, you know? 1978, 1979? We were the shit.”
Guy #2: “Uh huh.”
And no, he didn’t look like Uncle Rico.

Too bad he didn’t look like Uncle Rico. I was picturing this guy in his Terp shirt doing jumping jacks in front of an old VHS camcorder, in front of a beat-up van stalled along the Patuxent reservoir.
And from the texting in Silver Spring category: “Get an iPhone, you Luddite… btw… iPhone capitalized Luddite for me.”
The iPhone also capitalizes “WTF”.
does it know to capitalize “vpilf”?
He did look like he was one step above living in a van down by the river.
And when I type the phrase “Man, that Sarah Palin sure is a vpilf,” it doesn’t recognize the word or capitalize it.
