The Week in Review 1/14/2008 - 1/20/2008

As typical for a cVillain week, things got rather spicy. Last week was about banning things (trans fat, bumper nuts and bags) before Armageddon hit. Between our new mascot and the discussion about platonic boy/girl friendships, it was one of our most diverse weeks yet.

Monday

Downtown mall construction is giving us headaches. [Does it hurt businesses as well?]

Tuesday

Kiddy porn, peace corp and housing problems [Newsies]

Lilith writes on the business of getting drugs tested and approved [Very good discussion]

UVA’s credit union forgets to renew their website [OOPS]

Yupster talks rockstars at Fellini’s [Living on the edge]

Will VA Schools ban trans fats? [We hope so, but it’s not a real solution]

Record number of comments about our new, soon-to-be named Mascot [BIRDY]

Wednesday

Floozy’s Drunken Ramblings [Protecting people from themselves]

Local traffic warnings [Blah]

Lilith’s infamous conversations for a hot hump day date [hilarious]

First we thought it was terrorists, but actually it was miscommunication of Dominion [Watch for falling electric towers]

Keswick is a nice place to stay [Top 100 resorts]

Tom Cruise tries to indoctrinate you [Did he?]

Old Lynchburg Road Traffic problems [watch the cyclists]

VA trying to ban bumper nuts [bullocks]

Thursday

Armageddon x 3 [5 inches of snow, technological compensation, 60+ accidents]

Facebook sells your pictures [so true]

C-Ville Weekly turns to staples [click]

Spudnuts is awesome. [Real donuts]

Lilith asks about women and men having real platonic relationships [questionable]

We visit Beer Run for some beer tasting [yum]

Friday

Gang transfers, 9 story building on the mall and fake terrorism [Newsies]

We guess the Rolling Stones are in talks with Red Light Management/ATO [Rumor]

Absinthe is legal in the States [It’s not the good stuff]

Lilith has some great shots around C-Ville. [Can you guess what they are?]

Saturday

OXO has a memo, UVA students are hot and Blue Light re-opens [Friday Night]

Plastic bag bans [they are bad]

Graffiti art [it has a deep meaning]

    My thoughts on reading these “reviews”
    Is that they are not really “news”
    I was in every thread
    ’til my keyboard was dead
    If my opinion offends, please excuse

  5. 20 Jan 2008 at 1:24 pmmc said:

    belmoooonnt… I know the limericks are temporary affliction, but they are so great. So! Great!

    Also, i like the weekly wrap up because as addicted as I am, I still find things I missed or ignored on the first go round.

  6. 20 Jan 2008 at 1:32 pmYupster said:

    These are helpful because I miss a lot. Or maybe I just like seeing my name in print. :)

  7. 20 Jan 2008 at 1:39 pmbelmont yo said:

    So the yupster comes in for a stint
    for she so likes her name there in print
    I dont mean to hype it
    but I thought I would type it
    Though from me, worth not more than lint

  8. 20 Jan 2008 at 2:25 pmbelmont yo said:

    which I’d like to eschew

    thor, well done. i appreciate the WIRs and motion for a ‘best of’ archive. this comment thread would drop nicely.

  25. 20 Jan 2008 at 8:05 pmEthan said:

    Do we really need a week in review post?

  26. 20 Jan 2008 at 8:10 pmshoestring said:

  27. 20 Jan 2008 at 8:11 pmThor said:

  30. 20 Jan 2008 at 11:28 pmbelmont yo said:

    So one more limerick near midnight
    hope when I wake things will be alright
    no more talking in rhyme
    (it takes too much time)
    just my usual stupidity wrote right

    Told ya’ll I’d take all your money
    came down to me and the red-headed honey
    on a 5/8 off-suit impaled
    my pocket 7’s prevailed
    how would ‘yo make this one funny?

  32. 21 Jan 2008 at 1:36 amBuckingham Chickie said:

    I, for one, enjoy the WIR because even though I get the emails, I still often miss things.

    I managed to get a sitter and my husband is off Thursday, so I’m really looking forward to being at Crush on Thursday. I have a question though for anyone who’s in the know. Is there anywhere within walking distance to Crush that you can play pool on the cheap? We haven’t been out on a date since way before our first child was born and we’ve decided to make a night of it. Since it has been so long since we’ve been out for anything other than a quick meal I have no idea where to go anymore. Any suggestions?

    Also, if I should move this, or look elsewhere for answers, please feel free to let me know.

  33. 21 Jan 2008 at 8:14 amKCB said:

    As long as we’re reviewing the whole week including Sunday night, please let me indulge my inner meathead: Giants, baby.

  34. 21 Jan 2008 at 8:40 amSilmo Syrup said:

    chickie - there is no pool near crush. there is la taza coffee shop which has food (but I don’t know how late they serve) and Mas. Also beer run is not too far away.

  35. 21 Jan 2008 at 9:53 amparlie said:

    you can play pool at rapture or millers, but you have to LOVE cigarettes. also it’s a 10 minute walk.

  36. 21 Jan 2008 at 10:50 amLu Sid said:

    Hey Thor! You stole my word! I trademarked “spicy” and will now be charging $1.00 every time it is used on this site. You owe me $10.00 according to the search feature. I will expect payment in full by 9:00 a.m. tomorrow. I am willing to accept cash or check, as well as payments made in chocolate. Out of total kindness I will let you keep using it for free on spicy bear. Feel free to submit me for the Nobel Peace Prize for this generous act.

  37. 21 Jan 2008 at 10:52 amThor said:

    I submitted you to the Nobel Shut Up Prize … :)

  38. 21 Jan 2008 at 11:01 amLu Sid said:

    Just for that I will be spreading rumors around town about your small hands…lightening may be bad for business. Also, I am working on stealing your cat and holding him for ransom until you pay me off with interest (and by interest I mean indentured servitude). :P

  39. 21 Jan 2008 at 6:31 pmshenanigans said:

    Survey says: Thor was funnier. Sorry Lu Sid, maybe next time.

  40. 21 Jan 2008 at 6:34 pmLu Sid said:

    Um…yea I wasn’t trying to compete…but thanks for the useless creation of one.

  41. 21 Jan 2008 at 6:48 pmThor said:

    OH SNAP, I am the winner!

  42. 21 Jan 2008 at 6:58 pmshenanigans said:

    Still less funny! Damn!

  43. 22 Jan 2008 at 11:11 pmBuckingham Chickie said:

    Thanks Silmo and Parlie for the replies. I guess we’ll just play it by ear then. Back when we were dating we just went to Kegler’s or somewhere similar, but we’re a bit too old for that now, I think.

  44. 22 Jan 2008 at 11:18 pmSilmo Syrup said:

    Welll for God sakes come to Crush at least
    I wanna meet you guyz

  45. 22 Jan 2008 at 11:31 pmBuckingham Chickie said:

    Me? We’re coming to Crush, we’re just trying to figure out what to do afterwards.

    And uuhhh, if you were talking to someone else, I’ll just go back to that bathroom stall I used to hide in back in high school. It was the same one I’d run to after I thought that really popular girl was talking to me about a party and I answered her, only to find out she was talking to the person behind me. I hated that damn bathroom

  46. 22 Jan 2008 at 11:55 pmhipster-doofus said:

    Chickie: Yes Silmo was talking to you! Some of us are interested in whether you’re going to attend. Just today I sought a little confirmation from you:
    http://cvillain.com/?p=790#comment-18241
    Did lilith ever give you her awkward greeting?

  47. 23 Jan 2008 at 12:00 amBuckingham Chickie said:

    Sorry, I hadn’t read that thread yet, I’m still wading through the pink paint ball fun. I don’t think I’ve heard from Lilith yet either.

  48. 23 Jan 2008 at 12:08 amhipster-doofus said:

    Well, if she was still up she’d be offering you cookies and milk, but she’s probably not, so on behalf of people with more clout than me, please make yourself at home and feel free to put your feet on the furniture. Glad to hear you’ll be at Crush with Mr. Chickie.

  49. 23 Jan 2008 at 12:40 amStanley said:

    Well, if she was still up

    If she were still up, hip-doo. Just ’cause things got crazy today doesn’t mean we throw grammar out the window. Shame on you, good sir.

  50. 23 Jan 2008 at 12:49 amhipster-doofus said:

    Stanley, where were you when I was writing about impoverisation earlier? (spell-check still says “nope, not a word”.
    My apologies of course.

  51. 23 Jan 2008 at 12:51 amshenanigans said:

    Yeahhh Stanley breaking out the subjunctive tense. Learn it bitches!

  52. 23 Jan 2008 at 12:54 amlilith said:

    Grammar corrections… Ooh. That’s hot.

  53. 23 Jan 2008 at 1:04 amStanley said:

    I was trying to put you in a subjunctive mood, lilith. I see I’ve failed and will now slink away. (But shenaners gets it.)
