Wonkette
If you are currently sloppy drunk from kegs and eggs and planning on driving over to America’s Puke Fountain for Wonkette’s photo contest, here’s a tip: don’t. Embittered police, who don’t “have a problem with people celebrating their Irish heritage,” are really proving it by setting up drunk driving checkpoints all over creation. But don’t put down the beer just yet! SoberRide is providing free cabs for anyone that wants one, till 4AM tonight.
Just call 1-800-200-TAXI, and SoberRide will dispatch a taxi to take you pretty much anywhere in the metro area (as long as it’s a home or hotel). The fare is covered by SoberRide, up to $50. The program, funded by literal fairy godmothers at the Washington Regional Alcohol Program, operates on other booze-centric holidays as well, so commit that number to memory. Now drink up, little leprechauns, tip your driver, and try not to barf in the cab.
So the money you were going to spend on a cab fare at the end of the night - now you can drink it. I applaud this responsible civic scheme.
Someone better alert the various members of the Kennedy Klan.
Especially the older one . . .you know, the Senator who is trying to pass off his “wet brain syndrome” as “cancer”?
What is this ‘St. Patrick’s Day?’ I’m assuming it’s the new name for Amateur Night?
Only the amateurs try to drive home. The pros pass out in the gutters like back on the Old Sod.
Will one of these “free cabs” (sexual predators) come pick me up in LA? I wanna see the puke fountain!
Free taxis? This is SOCIALISM! Don’t you dare try to spread my wealth! (even though a charity did it)
wheelie: “So the money you were going to spend on a cab fare at the end of the night - now you can drink it. I applaud this responsible civic scheme.”
Stimulus Package
You mean I walked home, like a dope? Thank Sky-Jesus I only drink within a 3-block hands-and-knees crawl home.
Not that I know or anything.
