Your doofus desperation betrays you, asshole. So does your belief that group happy hours are one-man bar crawls. Was there never a time when you had any friends??? Fucking loser!!!

LOL! Of course I have friends. More than two in fact. Amazingly, not all of my interactions with my friends involve me getting too shitfaced to remember to place my takeout order, bringing my kids to a bar so I could get shitfaced while my wife was out of town, or hanging out in downtown bars getting shitfaced after work.

These days, it seems like your circle of friends has dwindled down to Principal COVID Cluster and his partner.

It was a group of couples who are our close friends who took went in together on the yacht charter this past summer. It was groups of friends of ours that we'd dine out with at Galileo, the Goldonis, Red Sage, Vidalia and many other highly rated places years ago. You never heard of them which only proves you are less than a nobody in the hospitality industry. When the downtown restaurants of the 90s and 00s were brought up, all you could do is rattle off some watering holes you got piss-drunk at. Well, to be fair you did mention that you dined at the downtown location of Chez Francois in the 90s too! LOL!

We still get together with those couples at various other places across the region. Many of those are highly rated as well. The next planned gathering will actually be one of the places you mentioned in an earlier post today. Imagine that.

Happy Diwali to Mr. Peabody!

A Happy Diwali to every people!!

Says the nasty, disgusting, repulsive DOLT who nobody wants anything to do with. Even his family doesn't want nothing to do with him so he has to shitpost on thus dumbass internet message board on holidays while the rest of us are with family & friends and don't got no time to shitpost on this stupid dump.

Sure, sure. But just to be straight about it, friends are those you see and actually do things with on at least a semi-regular basis. ‘Old law school chums’ whose only role is to appear in fictional accounts of trips and events that never actually happened are like walk-on wives — they don’t actually count.

Well, since some of you are already so restless in your anticipation, I’d better note that Mr and Mrs Visiting Chef have recently moved to North Carolina. The holiday season just won’t be the same this year.

Please. You are the biggest shit-slinger on the board. Your reputation here begins and ends with the word LIAR.

> LOL! Those visits still chap your badly beaten ass!

All you could recall were driving directions and a parking spot. Not one word about the food, service, decor, ambiance, or value. And you still quake at the mere mention of a Sexy Fish. Then you tried to claim that having a flowcode for the place was proof of some sort. LOL! Blew up in your face completely!

In a sauté pan. As if it were a grilled cheese. Dope.

Ignore the rubes, Mr. Peabody. Looking forward to a possible update from The Sweet Spot today.

No, you haven't. And your 'plans', like your 'friends', are fake. LIAR.

By your own account, you have exactly two friends (if they even exist), Principal COVID cluster and his partner.

I am a friend to Mr. Morgenthau(Mr. Peabody). He posts interesting stuff amidst the blasts of junk from whomever.

Does it? As odd as when you claimed you dined at the downtown location of Chez Francois in the 90s? Or as odd when you posted an AP Rays photo claiming a friend of yours took it?

Which of these statements is true?

"Great Forest consists principally of townhomes painted in a questionable array of colors."

"There are no painted townhomes in Great Forest."

LOL! Upon mention of the visit all you could do was whine about traffic and parking. I merely mentioned how such problems can be avoided.

You never asked.

The girly drink we never ordered? I understand how it is so important to a lush like you.

LOL! Your feeble attempts to rebut showed what a clueless moron you are about such matters.

Nope! Grilled. The same way they serve a version of their calamari!

Well, the entirely worthless Whiffies yet waddle along like so many gravely wounded ducks, their phony accounts of things simply falling apart when given even the most gentle of pokes. Shit-slinging assholes is all the best of these low-graders will ever amount to. Meanehile, it really is freezing out there on a sunny Friday morning, as it was just a chilly 30 degrees outside when I got up. Low humidity and not a lot of wind, so the trip down and back to being on the morning paper was quite tolerable despite the thermometer. No wildlife spotted along the way, but the schedule latel has been for deer to come by in ones and twos in late afternoon to dine on the tender green shoots arising from out recent investment in over-seeding. Fine with us. By then we should have seen our high for the day in the low 50s. Tonight's forecast: Dark. Followed by widley scattered patched of light. From the distant sounds of leaf blowers, it would seem that some in the area have begun the process of leaf removal, but we're not really ready yet. Nowhere near half the leaves are on the ground and a great many are still green on the trees. Such is life in the well cared for Sweet Spot.

REal President Joe is meanwhile seeing a lot more hurrying to get his spenidng and infrastrucure bills passed. Backlash against the stupid foot dragging of so-called moderates may be having some effect. And speaking of having to endure the babbling of nitwits, with DST coming to and end this weekend, the sleep-crazies are again clucking away about the damage DST does by eliminating an hour of sleep. What? How does that work in their cockamamie world? Get used to it though, as more of these church-lady wannabes will be pouring into VA schools now that Not-Mr-Rogers has been foolishly installed as Governoe. The big time buyer's remorse has already begun.

in other news, recent Nat Kyle Schwarber has declined his half of a mutual option with BOS and become a free agent. We get to keep promising RHP Aldo Ramirez (20) though. AEZ has meanwhile declined its option on long-time Nat RHP Tyler Clippard (37 by Opening Day). He was pretty effective again in 2021 and should have a major league paycheck again in 2022. Former Nats OF Brian Goodwin (31) has been outighted by CWS. He can and probably will declare free agency. He hit the first of four homers in a row the first time the Nats did that back in 2017. (Then came Difo, Harper, and Zimmerman,) CWS also outrighted former Nats RHP Jimmy Cordero (30), but his future may not be as bright.

Not bright at all of course is the future or present for fitful Falls Church City. Their years of being nothing but a dump for dumbasses have pretty much marked then as a total failure, and the transparently phony babllings of idiots have not really helped matters since. There is no cavalry that can ride in to the rescue. The disaster of FCC is pretty much complete.

Thank you for the gentle poke. And, thanks for another Sweet Spot update.

Wow! The scars are deep and enduring. Five years on, and the sting still eats at your craw. By the way, I have long had friends in the media.

Claims friends in the media.

The Principals are part of a COVID pod created in 2020. Admitted also are ballpark pals and Diners 5 and 6 from our recent outing at Randy’s. We have limited personal contact with other friends due to their and our desires to remain safe and healthy.
