And here’s a little something to tide you over ’til the 31st:

Sexpigeon explains his new habit:

Girls, especially, like to say this: “Back in the day you used to get dressed up to travel. It was a big deal.” Emphatic pauses before “big” and “deal.” Emphatically blank pauses in which you are supposed to sketch a golden age of propriety. I have taken to wearing a tie while traveling. Yes, I am aging, my hair rapidly thinning, my jowls just getting started on what promises to be a truly plutocratic sag—but still, I do my part. I am a man of a certain age and I am riding an airplane. You get to a certain age and you start making peace with airplanes in ways that surprise you.

Read on for the dramatic conclusion.

Wow.

(Thanks, Lindsey!)

Pretty sure it usually says “BEER PICNIC.” Must’ve run out of paint

This is the last American Tripps of 2011! DJ PJ promises to play some holiday jams, Rocky will be out front fryin’ up frybread, and the Berlin-style ping pong action will be EXTRA MERRY. (This one is strictly 21+ though; sorry, preteens.)

RSVP and invite your friends!

Our buddy Elizabeth S. shares the good news:

Some sweetheart gave 18th Street a hanukkah present this am! Swings on the sidewalk in front of Faye’s and Birite ice cream. Kids are psyched!!!!

Now what’s for dinner?

Our pal Lindsey (pictured) made a new friend at Farolito late Friday night on her way home from a holiday party (pictured):

She was handing the guy (the one with the strong hairline who is always there) a $5 bill and asking him to give her “the best thing you’ve got”. This went on for a couple minutes, and I thought she may need a suggestion. I leaned over and told her “try a burrito!” because everybody knows Farolito has the best burritos. This girl looked at me and said “shut up, white bitch”.

It gets violent. Read on.

On the occasion of Kim Jong Il’s death, Chloe decided to share some pictures from the time she took a look at North Korea. See the rest here.
