Haha @djdc, Naomi, and whoever else cares… I always meant it to read Flip-Flop-Pirate (the ‘p’ serves two masters) so djdc’s last assumption was correct. However, I do have a tendency to wax poetic about a number of silly things in a series of disconjoined rants so perhaps Flip-Flop-Irate is an appropriate assumption as well. That said, I’ve been thinking of changing my handle to ‘Incognito Forajido’ and starting a blog of the same name, thoughts? Anyone want interested in more DC-based scribble and intellectually absent dribble?

@djdc – That’s funny I always thought it was flip-flo-pirate, I just assumed he was friends with the ‘reformed somali pirate’ contributor. But it makes more sense that it would be flip-flop-eye-rayt

Rant: Missed both my classes taking care of moving stuff.

Rave: Dropped off a bunch of stuff to Goodwill so while we can’t use it, someone else can.

Rant2: Was planning on going to afternoon class but spent almost two hours on the phone with Verizon figuring out internet.

Rave2: Moving to DC tomorrow, weather looks cooperative, folks helping out. Here’s hoping everything fits in the truck and we can park it tomorrow, with Eastern Market reopening and all.

@Flipflopirate — I agree. I just remember hearing (maybe from Ms. Norton’s newsletter) that the name has already been selected, New Columbia. I think even just “Columbia” is better than that. Maybe they’ll change it when they realize the huge headache they’ll cause for the postal people!

By the way, for the longest time I read your name with the emphasis placed the same as the word “inveterate,” something like “flip-flop-uh-rut,” and I thought you must be serious about flip-flopping, or really good at it…er sumpin. Then one day it hit me that it’s more likely pronounced like two words, “flip-flop-eye-rayt,” and that you are really mad at flip-flop footwear. Cool. Or you’re a pirate who wears sandals.
