Happy New Year!

At the CVS near Logan Circle on Vermont Ave. There was a female employee restocking shelves and her male friend following her around.

Male Friend: You know what monogamy means?
Female Employee: Yeah.
Male Friends. Like if I'm with someone, I can only have sex with that person. (long pause). Monogamy........that's crazy!!!

Closed for Christmas

EavesdropDC will be closed for the next few days to celebrate Santa giving birth to baby Jesus on Hanukkah or something. We'll be back on Monday. Unless we get another sweater this year. Then we might go on a mad rampage and get ourselves locked up. Anyway, enjoy the season.

Drunk dialing isn't the only booze and phone related injury - don't let it happen to you!

Girl in Gallery (on GW campus): "I don't get it. My mom kept calling me last night, and I kept answering, and each time I was more drunk. How did this happen? oh and then she told me who I should have sex with...thanks slut"

Vote for Lando Calrissian!

On the 7B Bus from Park Center to Pentagon, The Conversation of two Obama supporters (young women) who talk like the girls on The Hills.

"I went to Obama's rally in Leesburg, but I couldn't get in, so I stood outside the gate. It was really cool to listen to"
"Yeah, was it crowded?"
"OMG there were so many people there, like, probably 10,000. But everyone was really nice and patient, and didn't push"
"Yeah, McCain's rallies aren't like that. I mean, I've never been to one, but I've heard people say people are mean at them."
"Well, it makes sense. I mean, we're talking about Good and Evil here."
"Yeah."
