Boner to commute to House on Metro
specifically, the Orange Line. :P

1. I remember when Dunn Loring was the end station
for the western Orange line.

My how time flies.

2. Well, if Boner settles there,
they'll have to call it "Dumb Boring". :P

3. DC Metro has kooky names
Edited on Mon Nov-08-10 03:10 PM by supernova
of stations/neighborhoods that always made me chuckle:

Foggy Bottom
Ballston
Crystal City

If Boner does use the Metro, that's a good start. Many, many work-a-day gov't types use the metro. I used to commute from New Carrollton to Farragut North every day. More elected types should use the Metro.


edit: Never mind, took me a few minutes to get why you posted that! :blush: :rofl:

4. I sincerely doubt he'll actually do it
even though there's a whole line named for his people. :-)

7. Ballston
Was renamed Parkington. They built a shopping mall with a multistory parking garage adjacent to the mall. At the time, that was a novelty. Then they eventually changed it back, named after the local big land owners from way back when.

6. Ugh, hope I don't see him on it in 2 weeks.
Hopefully he'll stay home in SlowHio for the Holidays. Burnt Rustic Bastard.

I for one, cannot wait to go down there. I'll likely be spending some time in G-Town shopping for gifts.

Second in line in the Succession Scenario. Dream on.

On edit: Just so I don't get a lot of misguided flak - second after the Veep. POTUS => VPOTUS => Speaker of the House => Etc, etc, and so on and so forth

12. OK. Got it. Sailed right over me ....
But now that you have taken the trouble to 'splain it to me, it is quite the clever witticism. Sorry I didn't get it. (Hangs head in shame).

13. Is this related to the "drunk and naked" thread?
Will they let him ride in that state?
