  1. waffles   16 years ago

    this offends me in a deep and disturbing way.

    1. pancakes   16 years ago

      shut up, you're just jealous. get back to work.

      1. cr?pes   16 years ago

        Quit pickin' on waffles or you'll have trouble with me.

        1. blintzes   16 years ago

          pancakes got homies, too, yo.

          1. biscuits   16 years ago

            yo, this shit don't fly down South, biotch

            1. latkes   16 years ago

              Or in the Jewish State.

    2. Montani Semper Liberi   16 years ago

      IHOP serves waffles, too, so no need to feel discriminated against.

      1. NeonCat   16 years ago

        Belgian waffles. Not the good old American kind.

        1. waffles   16 years ago

          Racist. Belgian waffles is one of my best friends. He's the chubby, funny guy and he always has white powder.

  2. Brian Sorgatz   16 years ago

    You're a public servant. Get me a glass of water!

    (Rest in peace, George Carlin.)

  3. blue waffle   16 years ago

    if you think that's disturbing...

  4. Ken Shultz   16 years ago

    The only job to be ashamed of is a job poorly done.

    ...unless you're in pron, I guess.

    1. Ken Shultz   16 years ago

      ...or a politician.

  5. Fist of Etiquette   16 years ago

    International affairs are outside the purview of local government. Fenty needs to get his ass back to the Municipal House of Pancakes.

    1. TheSporadical   16 years ago
  6. sloopyinca   16 years ago

    Looks more to me like he's giving that pancake a TSA enhanced pat-down.

    And the happy pancake is more than willing to comply, for safety is as important as liberty.

    1. gramercy   16 years ago

      +25

    2. beancounter   16 years ago

      Well, it is a cute pancake...

      1. sloopyinca   16 years ago

        You sick fuck. Where would you stick your dick?

    3. Hazel Meade   16 years ago

      he's searching it's nasal cavity for bombs.

  7. Old Mexican   16 years ago

    Outgoing Washington, D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty wore an IHOP staff uniform while dining at the newly opened pancake house in D.C.'s Columbia Heights neighborhood this morning.

    But only because the Dennis uniforms are even uglier.

  8. Abdul   16 years ago

    I'd tip over 10% if he got me a sweet no-bid contract on the side.

  9. Gary G   16 years ago

    lets face almost all politicians are just full of shit!

  10. Almanian   16 years ago

    That picture is just riveting, and begging for a caption contest.

    I got nothin'...

  11. sloopyinca   16 years ago

    How about:

    Marion Barry ain't shit. Bend over and I'll turn ya into one of these, bitch.

    SFW

    1. sloopyinca   16 years ago

      Or...
      "As government agency sizes continue to shrink under the new libertarian Congress and White House, government workers begin to reenter the private sector at jobs equivalent in responsibility, if not compensation, to their official posts."

      Ah, if only......

  12. B   16 years ago

    The caption should read: Outgoing Mayor shows children type of job they can expect after going through DC Schools.

  13. Tulpa   16 years ago

    Is that Michelle Rhee inside the pancake?

  14. Douglas Fletcher   16 years ago

    How come some bald heads are so shiny?
