fun with tourists

or, as we say when they're annoying us by clogging up the metro, "tourons."

Today was the second time that a couple of tourists asked me where the National Mall was. While looking at a map that clearly marked the National Mall. When I replied that we were currently standing in the National Mall, and their faces dropped with confusion, I had to explain that it wasn't a shopping mall.

ohhhhhhh, the tourists say. Disappointed.

I held off on giving directions to the Mall of America.

Second fave tourist question: "Which one of these museums is the Smithsonian?"


Also, because I'm watching for research purposes... I've come up on the scene in "Golden Triangle"  where Castillo goes all Ninja on C&T's asses, totally out of the blue. That Edward James Olmos can be one scary mutherfucker. Right, oddmonster?
