"495 Will Never Love You Like I Do, Baby," Claims Silver Line, Begging to be Taken Back by Commuters Despite Visibly Deteriorating Concrete

Despite commuters’ saying enough is enough when it comes to safety issues, construction errors, and ongoing repairs, the Silver Line continues to pathetically plead for just one more chance.

Nadine Rogers of Reston reported hearing the Silver Line’s shameless pleas as she drove along Route 495 last week. Nadine said, “I could it hear it from the highway, just yelling out garbage like, ‘Come on baby, get outta your car and I’ll let you ride me all day. Just like it used to be.’”

Commuters riding in slug line cars along 66 reported similar pitiful wails from the area rapid transit system. “I’m sorry I was late baby, I promise I’ll never be late again,” recalls one Terrel Marshall of Tysons Corner. Mariam Hindi of Reston reported hearing the train line bellow “I’m getting my shit together, I swear. No more single tracking for this modern commuting option. I mean it.”

The Silver Line’s protests have continued all the way up until its 11pm closure, as Abigail Barclay of Herndon recalled, “I heard something outside my window as I was trying to fall asleep and saw the Silver Line had cast its lights onto my yard to read ‘SRY BB.’ It stayed lit all night – I couldn’t sleep.”

Washington Football Team Surprised by Diverse Opening Day Crowd, New Central American Fan Base Disappointed "It's Still the Other Football!"

The Washington Football Team (WFT) debuted at the 2020 NFL season with a victory against Philadelphia. WFT’s owner Daniel Snyder was not only surprised by this victory, but also with the large number of Central American fans that came to FedExField. To his dismay, they left right as the game started since “it’s still the other football!”

“When someone tells you there’s a football game, you can only think of one thing: fútbol,” said Juan Hernández, Montgomery resident from Guatemala. “The gringos are the only people in the whole world that call football ‘soccer.’ Football means using your foot to kick a ball. It’s in the name!”

“I was very excited to see some saves from the goalkeeper, sweeps from the center back, and dribblings from the winger,” said Diego Bastias, Fairfax resident from El Salvador. “Instead of that, we saw a bunch of people wearing heavy armour, throwing a ball for a couple of seconds, and taking five minutes breaks after every play.”

Right before the end of the interviews, both Juan and Diego were asked about their thoughts on DC United, the city’s soccer (or ‘real football’) team. “Hard pass,” they replied.

Game Boy Turns 30, Wonders When It Will Be a Game Man

"I'm a Good LGTBQ Ally, I've Been to Nellie's on U St."

LGBTQ people have historically been discriminated against on the basis of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. Brandon Spencer, a 29 year-old straight cisgender polling analyst, thought it was time to speak up. “I’m a good LGBTQ ally,” he said. “I’ve been to Nellie’s on U St.”

“Being a good LGBTQ ally is about amplifying queer life experiences,” said Brandon. “That’s why I go to Nellie’s once a year, chat with the bartender, order a lot of drinks, and give a 25% tip. It’s the least a good ally can do.”

But Brandon didn’t stop there. “I definitely understand the struggle of the LGTBGI population,” said Brandon. “I moved to Dupont Circle last Summer, which is the center of gay culture in DC, and the AC didn’t work. It was rough but a good ally doesn’t complain.”

When asked if he has been to the historical Capital Pride Parade, Brandon nodded his head in agreement. “Absolutely. I love collecting stickers.”
