Reporting here from trucker-besieged DC. We're hanging on.

[Faygo Kid]

Yes, I know that for some strange reason, Faux News has ceased reporting on the million-trucker shutdown of the Beltway in DC. But I want all DUers to know that somehow, someway, we have persevered, and are getting around despite the one or two trucks we have seen on the Beltway going about their business.

It's been tough, but got on the Beltway yesterday evening for a Saturday night dinner with friends at a lovely restaurant off I-270. Even had a glass of a good Cabernet.

I know, you admire our courage and spirit in the face of such hardship, but what can I say? We DUers are made of sterner stuff.

1. HAHA!

The horror, the horror! Call the EMT's if your shag carpet burns go third degree!

[BumRushDaShow]

2. Maybe you missed them because

they rolled over top of you?

[Faygo Kid]

3. I didn't feel a thing. Maybe the Cabernet?

Geez, it WAS a good one.

[marble falls]

13. Or the Cabriolet?

[Zorra]

4. Hang in there, Kid.

This, too, shall pass.

[pinboy3niner]

5. Obviously, you're just in denial

The shutdown is so effective you could only get one glass of Cabernet!

[Faygo Kid]

7. Um - actually had more than one.

But in these besieged times, I did not want to reveal my secret for getting by.

11. Keep up your brave fight

The wine must flow...

[jberryhill]

6. We'll organize an airlift for you

8. I witnessed it first hand. About an hour ago a truck was driving slow in front of me.

T he humanity !!!!

[Faygo Kid]

9. Or, Oh, the Huge Manatee!

10. It's totally true. My cousin's-best friend's-housitter's-mother in law saw it with her own two eyes!

20. TeaBaggers are using an old pic from a Make-a-Wish event that has NOTHING TO DO

with their stupid "truck shutdown" that never happened.

[tjwash]

24. Yes they are - theyt don't even have anyone smart enough to use photoshop it seems.

25. The scary thing is, I think Faux News fans have lost the ability to understand that it

matters. You can give them facts and they still believe the lies. They will believe the photo is real, even though they know it is not.

[CatWoman]

12. ROFL!!!

[Faygo Kid]

22. CatWoman, I'm always ready for a conversation with you.

[El Shaman]

14. Hey, Kid!!?

Be cautious around them 'fuel tanker trucks' they may have a plan!!!

[Blue Owl]

15. Amazing anyone survived such an epic NeoConvoy

[gopiscrap]

16. I love it

[Iwillnevergiveup]

17. Faygo Kid - is there any possibility

my grandson could borrow those trucks for say, a weekend? He would LOVE them.

[world wide wally]

18. Those darn monster trucks!.....RUN!

[JimboBillyBubbaBob]

19. Great photo!

I had some of those metal trucks when I was a kid.

[tosh]

21. Thank you for this on-the-scene report!

[libdem4life]

23. Almost have to feel a teeny bit sorry for the trucker who thought up this weekend's date. Bad timing

to not only fail, but to get lost in all the other current and compelling drama. Even worse, if they planned on rolling triumphant during the shutdown.

Terrible. Idea. All. Around.

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

26. Love it.
