What pain, what anguish, what overcoming sadness we all feel this morning after last nights Metroblogging DC 3rd Anniversary Barbecue. Last night, a childhood hero died.
Elmo fell to the pinata Jedi skills of MBDC’s very own WebJedi: David.
But David was not the first to swing at Emlo with death in their eye. First was Chip Py, the spiritual leader of Free Our Streets to strike the Sesame Street star. Then is was a lady’s turn to tackle, not tickle dear Elmo.
And then David ended the reign of Elmo.
Not to worry, Elmo did not feel pain, being decapitated quickly, and his remains were treated with respect and dignity worthy of his status.
And so were the MBDC Y3 BBQ attendees. With bacon-wrapped shrimp starters and burgers & dogs main course, everyone left happy, even philosophical, especially after fondling Tom’s iPhone.
