Better yet, stand there with a suitcase blocking the right side, too. Appear flustered and indignantly glare at the person who demands that you move out of the way because you are rude.

Hey guys, There's a Beer Olympics Tournament at the Gin and Tonic bar in DC on Saturday from 4-8 PM. A couple of reasons you'll want to go: 1. First round is free. 2. A bunch of different types of games will be going on (flip-cup, beer pong, quarters, etc.) More details here: http://bothsidesofthefence.wordpress.com/2009/04/21/beer-olympics-tournament/

Medial Collateral Ligament, or possibly Mantle Cell Lymphoma - but she's not in her 60's. Also, I don't know why she'd say she had a medial collateral ligament on her MySpace. http://orthopedics.about.com/cs/kneeinjuries/a/mclinjury.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantle_cell_lymphoma

I know this is a late response but really Abe, the cops don't have an obligation to give the public any solid information if an investigation is *ongoing*. You have to check a message board for information pertaining to a local crime? Oh god, that's almost as bad as having to check Twitter for a road closure! I mean, you can't POSSIBLY be expected to search the internet to find the news you want
