Conversation in Washington DC during a government shut-down.

Here’s what they’re saying along G Street Northwest, Foggy Bottom — bits of conversation UD heard just now as she walked to her class on James Joyce.

She has a big butt, yes. She’s always had a big butt. But she’s in good shape – almost as good as I’m in. She’s a pretty girl. But the butt yeah.

Two GW students, male and female. Female is the speaker. Both students are in summery gym clothes and are in extremely good shape.

“No, that wouldn’t be true of everyone who’s covered. That’s not how coverage works.”

Well-dressed DC bureaucrat outside World Bank building to another well-dressed DC bureaucrat.

“It was a real lesson for me. A real lesson, man.”

Worker in front of a delivery truck to another worker.

“You like hip-hop?”

    UD, stop being such a pettifogging frump!!! EVERYONE knows that you attend college to get into great shape. Why else would unis spend the tens of billions that they have in spa like recreation centers, all of those spinning/yoga/tai chi/rock climbing/weightlifting/small group Tabbata sessions, if it isn’t to get a better ass? Never mind that the university press, the mechanism which professors get published, are being systematically budgeted out of existence. Never mind that uni libraries are having their resources cut, or that tutoring centers don’t have enough money in order not to charge in debt students %13/hour for academic help. You go to college for the experience, and people want to experience having a nice ass. Just ask any of the students riding a stationary bicycle to nowhere.

    BTW, you didn’t answer the question, what about you and hip hop?????

    Just for the record, no one I know uses a climbing wall to get a nice ass. They use it to get better at rock climbing.

  3. Derek Says:

    Ok, but answer the damned question! Do you?

  4. Margaret Soltan Says:

    Derek, charlie: I barely know what it is.

  5. Dr_Doctorstein Says:

    You might find it worthwhile to learn more about hip hop, even if you never come to like it.

  6. Margaret Soltan Says:

    Dr_Doctorstein: Yes.
