Top Jerk: Baltimore

...this was going to be about that dude who scolded you for your candle-canoodling.

That dude was like THE biggest jerk.

So I guess I am only the second-to-top jerk.

Hey Todd (or anyone else with the correct answer)

Is that place- "Red Emma's" any relation to the Dischord act, Red Emma?

just curious

I believe both are named after Emma Goldman, aka "Red Emma," an anarchist originally from Lithuania (?) who was a key figure in the early 20th century anarchist/socialist movement(s) in this country.

I bet todd has a HAUT internet date with some russian webcam babe and therefore can not actually leave his house.

Yeah.

and i was going to call this list "top ten things i figured out about myself in baltimore," and the first one (so far the only one) is that I have a "sleep number," and it is 25.

i hope it will go ok, even if you are not there. but yes, i am always annoyed when presented with the chance to meet internet acquaintances and then it does not happen.

the city of brotherly love, by the way, saved its sorry ass with two incidents: 1) a 3-year old chinese american girl who accosted me at dinner to ask if the map i was staring at was of china, whereupon she proceeded to make up a very elaborate story about a girl who was walking around in china (she showed me where on the map) but then the building caught on fire and she fell into the river and her head fell off. At which point her brother goes, "That's part's not true. Her head did not fall off." and 2) the Mutter Museum. hello, cyclops baby!

Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!

That is the sound of KPunk being correct.

Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!

That is the sound of R. John being correct.

My, we certainly have a lot of winners today!

the sheer humiliation i am going through, being jilted by a russian webcam babe. again.

the show went great though! people are very aggressive in their support of my book here in baltimore.

Someday soon Svetlana will be my wife.

These Russian women...they are very demanding.

To not keep our online date--even for so worthy a cause as to see your talk--would jeopardize my pending nuptials.

And Svetlana's father--Nikolai--he would not approve of such a jilting. This Svetlana has told me.
